"Yes some great ones there, thanks. One I forgot and personally like though not that well kniwn is Großmächtige Prinzessin from Ariadne auf Naxos"
Also Zerbinetta's character is funny. A great quote from her ' The best way to get over a man is to get anotber'  |

Wow, no mention of "Vesti la giubba" from anyone?!?
Maybe it's too close to home for some folks...
Whatever, you have to check out Pavarotti's rendition - and Caruso is still better than most modern efforts. |

I’m a huge fan of all of Vivaldi’s arias but then I am a huge fan of pretty much everything he did.
Being a violinist his music “sings” to me.
My other favourite is Handel’s Messiah and the arias through that are incredibly deep and thought provoking ♥️ |

"Too high brow for me though I do like Madame Butterfly."
Nothing really high brow about opera and arias and classical music I don't think. It is just that sometimes not everyone had an opportunity to listen to it. Then again my music taste is so varied I could fill an entire HMV shop from Black Sabbath to Kylie and the 3 tennors |

Great to see another Handel enthusiast. His operas have always been my favourites although I'm beginning to appreciate French baroque opera nearly as much.

"Ebben? Ne andrò lontana" ("Well, then? I'll go far away," act 1, from La Wally sang by American soprano Wilhelmenia Fernandez in Jean-Jacques Beineix's 1981 movie Diva."
How could I have forgotten this? |
