Do opera and karaoke go together?  Maybe.  Here are song karaoke favorites from opera singers. 
Australian soprano Rachelle Durkin 
" I was always in love with Whitney Houston and Maria Carey, so I like to sing like that every now and then."

"I'm a classically trained singer, and while I don't generally do opera 
at karaoke bars, I do sing a lot of show tunes, standards, and pop songs
 that I have carefully picked out because I can sing them in my lower 
range and have them sound like pop songs."

Carla Thensen Hanson, an American soprano, was asked if she sang opera: 
"Only when drunk. The last time I went I was with my sisters and we were 
all quite intoxicated because it was for another sister’s wedding. We 
sang We Are Family. Naturally."
