Most Empire opera stars came from ( colonies) such as Canada and Australia ( such as Dame Nellie Melba). Opera not very popular in England and in fact some Brits make fun of it- with jingles like the High Cockilorum- Tra la lee tral la la-0 cock- a lorum! I can"t explain it. not true int he days of Handel, though.
