I have two of their cds: Oceanborn and Wishmaster. I like her voice very
much, but not much the timbres, melodies and arrangements on the cd,
although the musicians are great ( just our preferences are not the same ).
I think people will like these songs the most, at least to get to know her
voice:
from Oceanborn:
Swanheart
Walking in the Air
from Wishmaster:
Sleeping Sun ( bonus track in the Brazilian cd, at least ). The one that
introduced me to them.
There are SOME bands with operatic female vocalists, mostly in Europe, both
on classically-oriented heavy bands, like Nightwish and Dreams of Sanity,
and on heavier ones, like Therion and Paradise Lost ( special
participations ). Many thrash metal and "atmospheric" bands have "evolved"
(?) and adopted more intricate melodies, typical national instruments,
and... opera(-like) female leading or "supporting" vocals.
Best "night" wishes,
Caio
