Most Emotional Opera Melodies

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??

The aria from Gianni Schicchi (by Puccini) is "O mio babbino caro." Renee Fleming's version will wrench your heart.

Thanks Rich. I am a little familiar with Renee Fleming and I'm sure that voice can get it done.
