Most Beautiful Arias

My mom was born blind, and the Lord gifted her with a beautiful voice, as well as beauty and intelligence. She received full scholarship to Juilliard School of Music when she was 20…sadly, she married my father who wouldn’t allow her to go. 😢 I know that ripped her heart through her whole life, though she only mentioned it once. As a teen, I asked her if she regretted marrying him, and Mom said, “ I got you and your brother out of it, so, no.” She taught me many of these arias, and “O Night of Love” that is played on here was one we sang together. (She taught me the English version, though, lol!) Mom’s love for the opera and classical music has been one of her legacies to us. My 3 children loved/appreciated it, as well, (especially my daughter). I buried my darling mom on this day, 11/11/2013. 💔 and, then, my precious daughter 5 months later, 5/1/2014💔 oh, how I miss them both. Was listening to this today, letting my mind wander down sweet memories’ lane. Have enjoyed this video so much.

My fifth grade teacher spent thirty minutes everyday teaching us opera. That changed my life. Thank you, Mister lenning.

Anyone else getting into Opera music these days? YouTube randomly suggested it to me and i've been binge listening for hours now.

As a combat veteran I enjoy going to the Opera...but when I saw Madam butterfly and heard the aria in act 2 and the realization of the betrayal of the love....I lost it and started crying.....then I looked around and saw a number of other men in tuxedos crying as well...I felt alive like never before. I still cant listen to that song without crying

it is the 1950's and the Belmonte family is gathered around the dining room table for our Sunday feast, pasta, meats, homemade wine, en salada, stuffed mushrooms, eggplant parma, assorted nuts in their natural shells, fresh fruits, cannolis, Italian cookies, expresso with annisette, and the classic operas playing in the background....what I would not give for one more Sunday afternoon at Court Street, Brooklyn, New York with my beloved family!

So many people love opera, I am not alone.

my mom used to listen to opera at night while sleeping. id sneak into her room, late at night , and lay next to her big speakers . the volume was down low but i could still hear it. it was my introduction to the genre .

I remember I was about 20. My dad and I were walking on the sand in south beach. The afternoon was warm and perfect. We suddenly look towards our left and noticed someone rehearsing before empty seats that would soon be filled. It was Pavarotti. That's one of many memories I cherish.

When my little angel Brody had to leave this world the last thing I wanted him to hear as I held him and told him how much he is loved was Maria callas calling him to the heavens from which he came. I should be so lucky. God bless u all.

When I need something for my soul , I listen classical Music or opera . This is my saver .

My piano teacher, while I studied in a musical school, insisted on me been heard by her friend- voice coach in StPetesburg, RU conservatory. I had beautiful mezzo and loved singing arias from Verdi, Massnet, Puccini, Bizet operas, imagining being on stage. The professor was enthusiastic, but said I should wait for another year for my voice to mature. My mom prohibited me to think about my serious training, saying my voice was mediocre. Many years later she apologized for stopping me, admitting yes, indeed, I had that god given gift. Why did she do that? Too late, anyway. But my love for opera never subsided.

My dad loved opera and played classical piano. As I child I didn’t appreciated it. I was into rock and roll. As an adult I’ve grown to love opera I guess I heard it so much. After my mother died my dad remarried two years later and his wife wanted him to cut all ties to me which he did. I cry at many of these arias as I think of him. The hurt never left me and he died many years ago. Never saw or spoke to me or saw his grandchildren. Funny how music can stir so many emotions. I will always be grateful to him for my love of opera

Forever Nessun Dorma. Calaf’s sadness in this unforgettable aria, touch my soul so deeply. Princess Turandot didn't deserve his love.

I might have been not born with that gift of golden vocals but I admire those who were given such amazing gift I love It Immensely

Martin E. Gold I’m told by my father that my grandfather, upon arrival from Europe, and before he had found a place to stay, went directly to the Met to buy opera tickets. While I was growing up my parents went to the Met a fair amount, sitting in tenth row center seats, -something I can’t afford today. However, we have the pleasure of listening to this wonderful music wherever we are, and whenever we need uplifting.

I know I' grew up very poor but this music touches the very core of my heart

im a rocker and a fan of pink floyd and genesis and i just love these arias because they straight to my soul while rock goes to my heart.

This mix of elegant male and female voices singing the most beautiful arias is a rare treat for all who are willing to lend an ear to music. One does not need to have a pre-trained liking for music to like this, but if one has a predilection for singing one would be enthralled with this collection. Richly thrilling.

Someone once asked me, how did I become so enthralled with opera? How did a lifetime of listening to these arias ever begin? I remember it like yesterday, my father had brought home an LP of Puccini's La Boheme and Che Gelida Manina came on while I was doing my homework. Literally, at the crescendo of this most famous piece, the hairs on the back of my neck went up and a shiver ran down my spine. That was it for me and I have never looked back!

I am playing this soul touching music as it reminds me off my so loved father who filled the room with his good taste in music when I was little. He is now 85 and not much is left off him. Suffering with a body thats dying slowly. Love you papa ❤
