Is this a show? or a cast recording?...Why is it listed here?

This is a vocal album by British singer Paul Potts featuring a few musical theatre pieces like "Music of the Night"

Actually...'a few' mean 'one' I suppose?

Actually, by a few, he means most. Other than "Music of the Night," there are several famous arias from the world's most famous opera. And seeing as how "La Boheme" is listed in this database as musical theater, than so should these arias.

FYI -- La Boheme is listed in the database only because it resulted in a "Broadway Cast Recording" from the recent NY production. Opera is typically not included on this site.

Which I don't particularly understand why. Musical theatre is essentially derived from opera, and many operettas are basically musicals. The same can be said vice versa with many of Leonard Bernstein's musicals.

Some operettas are included in the database, but out and out operas are not. It'd be great to see a website similar to this one that followed opera, but this is not going to be that website.

So is it OK for a recording to be added to this site for having just one musical-related song in the album?
