Sanctum

Music: “Sanctum” – Thomas Otten from the CD “Odyssey”

Choreography: Lesley Laslett, UK

Thomas Otten is a French countertenor singer in the Classical Crossover style. He was classically trained as a child, learning piano and signing in chamber choirs. His voice didn’t break as thoroughly as usual upon reaching adolescence, retaining a high contralto range.

Classical crossover encompasses both classical music that has become popularised and a wide variety of popular music forms performed in a classical manner or by classical artists. It can also refer to collaborations between classical and popular performers, as well as music that blends elements of classical music (including operatic and symphonic) with popular music (including pop, rock etc).

On the CD “Odyssey” he collaborates with Stephanie Arcadias.
