IL DIVO An international UK-based group of four fivers (created by Simon Cowell) who are slightly less worthy than the three tenors. Il Divo (The Star) sing most of their songs in Italian, although they're about as authentically Italian as a Cornetto ice cream.

=========================================
A-Z of Classical Crossover Artists
ANTHONY HOPKINS Hannibal Lecter cordially invites you to a salubrious evening of classical music, after which he'd like to have you for dinner with a glass of Chianti.
JOSH GROBAN An American multi-Platinum singer and the best-selling solo artist in the United States with over 25 million records sold worldwide. The fame and fortune of Josh Gro-bag just keeps on growing and growing.
HAYLEY GRIFFITHS Hayley Griffiths is a girl of many talents, having been a Celtic Rose with Prog Folk band Karnataka, and then a Pop Princess with her album "Far from Here", and now as "Melanie", she's a Symphonic Metal goddess!
PATRICK GODFREY A Canadian pianist and composer from Toronto who now lives in North Saanich, BC. Every day's a Groundhog Day in the backwoods of North Saanich where there's not much to do all day, thereby making it the ideal place to learn to play the piano.
PHILIP GLASS An American composer of 15 operas and musical theatre works, 14 symphonies, 12 concertos, nine string quartets and numerous film scores, pianist Philip Glass is the world's greatest living classical composer (at the age of 87) whose Glass-shattering, record-breaking discography of 104 albums (to date) is only exceeded by Ennio Morricone (500+ soundtracks), Tangerine Dream (192 albums) and Rick Wakeman (108 albums).
DAVID GARRETT A German violin virtuoso who denies he was ever expelled from the Royal College of Music in London. In David Garrett's own words:- "I skipped a few lessons and then broke into the RCM to do some extra practice, so that didn't help."
Also Louis Clark conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with his 'Hooked On Classics' series of releases might fit the remit of this topic - I certainly have them in my folder labelled 'Classical Crossover'.

A coupe more names for you that might be worth exploring and possibly adding to your project (that have turned up whilst I was looking for covers of the Flower Duet from Lakmé by Delibes).
