Opera Turns to Rock in One of Talent Show’s Most Jaw-Dropping Auditions

Cristina Ramos’s audition on Got Talent España 2016 started like a traditional opera performance. With graceful poise and a voice built for the grandest stages, she delivered a stunning classical vocal that had the audience holding their breath. But what happened next stunned everyone—judges included.

Mid-performance, Cristina ripped off the operatic façade and launched into a fierce rock version of AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell.” The transformation was instant—her voice roared with electric power, her stage presence flipped into high-energy rebellion, and the audience erupted. The elegant soprano had suddenly become a rock goddess.

Her dramatic outfit change—from classical elegance to bold rocker confidence—symbolized the shift perfectly. Her corset dress stayed on, but the fire in her eyes and the passion in her voice made it feel like a completely different performer had taken over. The judges jumped to their feet in disbelief.

Cristina’s audition became an internet sensation for good reason. She didn’t just blend genres—she shattered them. In one performance, she proved that boundaries don’t apply when you’ve got that kind of talent.
