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)

Harry - please stop. You're making an ass of yourself.

By providing a list of popular opera tunes? Too highbrow for the
pseudomusicians in this newsgroup?

I know more about opera as a music form than you do.

And I know squat.

Sure, Tom...whatever you say. I've been an opera fan since the 7th
Grade, when our choir club teacher took us to a performance of La Boheme
at the Met. We've been to at least a half dozen major league opera
performances in the last year.

I do agree with your comment about what you know. After all, you bought
an ETEC.

Oh...I get it...you are disputing the list of tunes I reprinted here as
being popular. That must be it. Right?

See how long you can go without using the word "I". Narcissists have a
terrible time leaving that word out of every other sentence.

I this, narcissist boy!

I wish you could write sentences that made sense, Wafas boy.

Viking hats with the horns on the side, hands clasped before you, belting

I changed my ring tone to a normal ringer like we had in the 60's to

I know I must have grown up on the wrong side of town. We didn't have a
"choir club" in the 7th grade. But then again, I didn't play Rugby at
a college that did not have a Rugby Team until 20 yrs after I graduated.

On the other hand, I was a war hero during the big one, and was
excellent at impersonating the academy's music professor.

Wish it were so. These days, I can't carry a tune with a bucket. Back in
junior high, though, before my voice changed from boy soprano to gravel,
I could sing. A little.

At that first opera, we had seats on the side of the house, probably the
second balcony, and one of the female leads had absolutely spectacular
cleavage. That hooked me. The same weekend, we got to see "West Side
Story" on Broadway.

I think the kids in the choir were charged about $20 for the whole trip,
including trainfare. The school picked up the rest. That was in the days
schools had a little money.

Opera has fascinated me for a long, long time. Virtually every aspect of
it is way, way, way over the top.

BTW, if you want a real treat, listen to Anna Netrebko's "Violetta" CD.
Violetta Valery, the woman who "strayed." Some of the most beautiful
vocal music ever.
