Most Emotional Opera Melodies

Check out the duet "Au Fonde du Temple Saint" from Bizet's opera, The Pearl Fishers. Overall, not a great opera but this piece is incredible. My favorite recording is on RCA (mono) with Jussi Bjorling & Robert Merrill. It's funny because I much prefer womens voices but this one moves me more than any I've ever heard.

Hebrew Slaves / Flower Duet

Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves from ‘Nabucco’ by Giuseppe Verdi.

Flower Duet from 'Lakme' by Delibes

Try those if you are new to opera and want a taste of it.

There's a superb aria in Gianni Scicchi (sp?). In fact it's the only memorable thing about the opera but it is wonderful.
Sorry I can't remember the name of it but perhaps someone will post.
Also a couple of great arias in Tosca, one being E lucevan de Stelle (sp?).
Obviously, spelling Italian is not my forté.

Very nice system Shadorne. I was nosey, sorry. This is going pretty good so far. I'm making a list and going to visit Barnes and Noble. I really like their system where you can preview anything in the store. Yes, I am an opera newby, but I actually do have some....a bunch of LPs I got from a book sale years ago. Most are mono, I think, and that is why I never got too interested in them. Maybe some of this stuff only came in mono??
