    If you want a good introduction to some of the best known arias, I'd suggest a 5 CD box set called "Operamania".

    The Nessun Dorma performance that Melodious refers to is in the set, I believe.

    What a voice. I have no idea what he's singing in that clip, but that's talent, boys and girls.

    As Oscar Madison once said, "The only opera I know had the Marx Brothers in it!" But I could still listen to that and never get tired of it.

    RIP. I'm no operaman, but I can certainly respect him.

    Melodious, I thank you for posting the Nessun Dorma bit with Mehta. It was marvelous and I'm sure I will replay it many times.

    How would you like to be the person who has to sing at this guy's funeral? It would be like coaching Bill Walsh's son.

    RIP to a man with a truly amazing voice.
