Babatunde Akinboboye Reinvents Opera with a One-of-a-Kind Twist on BGT: A Must-See Unseen Audition!

In a Britain’s Got Talent audition unlike any other, Babatunde Akinboboye stunned judges and viewers alike with a performance that fused classical opera with an unexpected genre — hip hop! His unseen audition is now gaining momentum online, and for good reason: it’s bold, genre-defying, and impossible to forget.

Dressed in a crisp suit with an air of quiet confidence, Babatunde took the stage and began what appeared to be a traditional opera number. But just as the audience settled in for a standard classical performance, he flipped the script — launching into a rhythm-packed, energetic blend of operatic vocals over hip-hop beats. The fusion, now dubbed “Hip Hopera,” had jaws dropping and applause erupting within seconds.

Akinboboye’s performance isn’t just a novelty act. A classically trained opera singer with Nigerian roots, he’s spent years mastering his craft and now uses his platform to challenge traditional perceptions of opera. By blending the grandeur of operatic technique with the modern pulse of hip hop, he creates a performance that bridges cultures and generations.

The BGT judges were visibly impressed, with Alesha Dixon praising the creativity and calling it “a moment of pure innovation.” Amanda Holden described it as “absolutely electric,” and even the ever-critical Simon Cowell seemed taken aback, calling it “completely original — and brilliant.”

While his performance may not have aired during the main televised auditions, this Unseen moment proves that the BGT stage remains a breeding ground for world-class originality. Babatunde Akinboboye isn’t just singing; he’s revolutionizing how we define musical expression.

Whether you’re an opera aficionado or a hip-hop head, this is one audition you won’t want to miss.
