Maybe he doesn't count because he went on to be the reigning Verdi baritone of our day and I guess you mean classically-trained who didn't go on to classical music.

15. Kathleen Battle

I heard her sing "Battle Hymm of the Republic" at the first Clinton inauguaral concert. We got places up front because I was a volunteer. There wasn't a dry eye on the Lincoln Memorial that day.

I hope to hear her sing it again this January!

9. Diamanda Galas?

I believe she is classically trained. I respect her using that training for evil rather than good.
