The first singer - Tarja Turunen is an opera singer - hence operatic.Nightwish is an Opera/Metal band.
This is Tarja - she is an opera singer. Arguably not a great one but solid enough and certainly better than anything the metal industry is likely to put out - which probably explained why Nightwish became so popular - take one level down Opera singer - and mix that power with metal and you have a different kind of blend of sounds. The whole becoming greater than the sum of their parts sort of thing.
I am someone who isn't a particularly big fan of opera or metal. But I kind of like the blend.
The second singer was not operatic.
