Performances Out of Metal Genre
Although Adams has essentially devoted his artistic life to the metal genre, he can sing other genres as well. One of his most interesting and unusual exploits was singing the aria "Nessun Dorma" (from Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot) live in Milan in 1999 as a tribute to the Italian Manowar fans, and later recording the song for the Warriors of the World album in 2002. The same album also contains "An American Trilogy," which Adams first performed at the Popcom. While touring in 2007, he sang "The Phantom of the Opera," the famous duet from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical of the same title, with Maria Breon of HolyHell. A live recording of this song was included on HolyHell's first studio disc, Apocalypse (Magic Circle Music). Adams has also sung the Christmas carol "Silent Night". He also recorded the song "Where Eagles Fly" with world's best-selling soprano, Sarah Brightman, for her album Harem, although this song has never been officially released. Finally, on June 30, 2007, Adams sang the Bulgarian national anthem "Mila Rodino" during Manowar's concert in Kavarna, Bulgaria, as a tribute to the Bulgarian fans. It was recorded for the Magic Circle Festival DVD. He did this the next year, again in Kavarna.

Famous quotes containing the words performances, metal and/or genre:
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“And, indeed, is there not something holy about a great kitchen?... The scoured gleam of row upon row of metal vessels dangling from hooks or reposing on their shelves till needed with the air of so many chalices waiting for the celebration of the sacrament of food. And the range like an altar, yes, before which my mother bowed in perpetual homage, a fringe of sweat upon her upper lip and the fire glowing in her cheeks.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“We ignore thriller writers at our peril. Their genre is the political condition. They massage our dreams and magnify our nightmares. If it is true that we always need enemies, then we will always need writers of fiction to encode our fears and fantasies.”
—Daniel Easterman (b. 1949)
