I could not decide whether I should I be baffled by remarks here, but I personally believe opera singing is the most beautiful I know from all kinds or types of singing. And opera would be considered as the highest form of art, imho. From the other side I could not be exemplary objective here, as I adore opera for decades and I have enormous experience of listening opera recordings. Wagner, Mozart, Verdi, Puccini... are capable to bring me to tears quite often.

It's just taste. I don't enjoy classical singing in any form. I appreciate it, but don't enjoy it.

I do listen to lots of classical music, I just don't like the singing. Don't know why.

My Mom used to play the radio broadcasts of the the Metropolitan every weekend, so it's not like I wasn't exposed to it.  I have been to a couple of performances and enjoyed those more. I guess having the visuals made me not notice that I don't actually like the singing. 

Sorry to insult the opera lovers, but I'd rather listen to the singing of Muddy Waters, John Lennon, Joe Williams,  or Sinatra any day.

You might try this. Apparently, there is a lot of great music from The Beatles without the singing.?

There's also a lot of great music from Ballets without the dancing.
