Most Emotional Opera Melodies


Every time I watch Pretty Woman, and I can't seem to resist it, I wait for the scene at the opera. That little melody is so powerful. I just know I'm missing some very emotional music because I'm an opera dummy.

You might search by diva instead of by opera. All the greats have compilation albums that will feature some of the most impressive arias from the canon.

-Maria Callas
-Elizabeth Schwarzkopf
-Marilyn Horne
-Renee Fleming
-Cecilia Bartoli
-Countless others

You might also go for some Schubert or Schumann lieder. Not the uber-Romantic Wagnerian fat lady stuff at all (indeed, not opera), but absolutely gorgeous nonetheless. Kathleen Battle has a wonderful voice (and a serious 'tude)
Woah. When was the compilation of Hilter's speeches made? There's nothing particularly fascist about your collection, don't worry :)
