This is not a OC trademark Photoshopped image. It is actually a genuine Reuters photo:
Last night "Sympathischer Tenor" Rolando Villazon, during the German television show 'Wetten, dass..?' rode a mechanical bull.
Hilarity ensued.
As our readers know, Opera Chic is a huge Rolando fan -- he's the man who singlehandedly brought back the awe-inspiring 1970s unibrow and our favorite candidate for a Magnum PI remake, too -- but somehow, somehow, SOMEHOW Rolando, we cannot imagine Alfredo Kraus doing the mecha bull thing on a German TV show.
But maybe it's just us.

I urge all Rolando fans to go to this direct shortcut here and play the, "Interview mit Rolando Villazón". In it, Rolando converses in easy German with the host, and then draws a wooly-haired self-portrait of himself...and a bull.
"Der Tenor über sein Album 'Gitano', die spanische 'Zarzuela' und sein Hobby, Karikaturen zu zeichnen"...
