Speaking of Verdi:
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Once you get past the recitiative with brass accompaniment, the tenor has to begin his opening aria backed only by a pair of oboes and some pizzicato strings. It's like a trapeze artist working without a net. That high note is a killer in and of itself.
Verdi sets a high bar for his Radames.
