I used to have the "special telephone" ringtone from Our Man Flint, the
put-on spy movies starring the incomparable James Coburn. *These
days, I mostly have opera tunes.

Opera "tunes"?

Sure. There are kazillions of tunes in opera. Even if you don't listen
to or like opera, you've heard them. At the moment, my "ringtone" is a
tune from La Traviata, sung by Anna Netrebko.

Don't know Anna? One of her albums outsold one from Beyoncé when it came
out in 2004 in Europe. Terrific voice, good-looking, too. Well, both of
them, Anna and Beyoncé!

Here's a list of some popular opera tunes for you:

*Lakmé: Flower Duet (Dome épais)

*Die Walküre (The Valkyrie): Ride of the Valkyries

*La Forza del destino (The Force of Destiny) : Overture

*Andre Chénier: La mamma morte

*Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville): Overture

*Il Barbiere di Siviglia: Largo al factotum

*Lohengrin: Wedding March

*La Wally: Ebben? ne andro lontana

*Cosi fan tutte: Soave sia il vento

*Legend of Tsar Saltan: Flight of the Bumble Bee

*La Traviata: Libiamo ne lieti calici (Brindisi)

grin, he is cute when he wants to be. *Can you imagine being at the
marina *dock when his cell phone rings?- Hide quoted text -

Such culture and refinement, one must wonder how he gets his boorish
