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?


He doesn't have Google to help him in a situation like that.
