  Hi,
  
  Yes, having heard Hayley in concert a few years back and earlier this year, no doubt her voice is getting better all the time.
  
  Here is a mini-documentary of Hayley working with Ennio Morricone. Seems like he was Westen-wowed!

  It will also continue to change throughout her life.... it's one of the reasons opera singers get to sing quite different roles as they get older.
  
  For example: My favourite singer still performing, Anna Netrebko, sounds very different now to say just five years ago.
  
  I have to say it's really quite refreshing to see someone share such enthusiasm on these forums for a singer like Hayley...

  Hi,
  
  Although Hayley has sung arias, she's never described herself as an opera singer. She calls herself simply a 'singer'. Not only does she have the best voice I've ever heard, but she also sings such a wide range of styles and genres.
  
  Hayley is the voice of ITV's Rugby World Cup coverage. This is her 'World In Union', used over the opening credits.
