Placido Domingo, in a wonderful live performance of "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's Turandot. Interestingly enough this has Spanish subtitles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RdJmqLrsbo
(Lyrics/translation for "Nessun Dorma" can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nessun_Dorma)
"Nessun Dorma" again, but this time sung by (the incomparable) Mario Lanza: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MmiKGzmZy8
"Vesti la Giubba," performed by Mario Lanza: ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkN2C6kWOAo
(For the lyrics/translation to this song, follow the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesti_la_giubba)
And this last one is here just for silliness-- "Drink!" (or whatever it's called) from the movie version of the operetta The Student Prince, with the completely non-operatic male lead lip-syncing to Mario Lanza's voice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbLl2C3ChYY
I'm something of a Lanza fan, in case you couldn't tell. Hee hee hee. xd
Alfredo Arnold Cocozza, a.k.a. Mario Lanza -- Dead but still awesome after all these years.
Other than these links (and picture) I don't have anything else to post today. Cheers, y'all, and stay cool! cool
