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)
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.

You have not.

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?

No - it's pretentious bull feathers.

Sorry dude - I ain't buying it.



There's nothing pretentious about opera.
