Bravo Maestro. Bravo.
When I was still in my early teens, I had no appreciation for any other type of music except for N*Sync, Britney and the Backstreet Boys. Then, one brisk November weekend I was tasked with accompanying my Grandma Ella to the Opera. She had season tickets and the NY Metropolitan Opera House was her favorite place. I never understood why she loved opera so much. Photo acquired through google.
Then I heard him sing this aria.
Live.
On stage.
By the time he sang the last notes, I was in tears and I was utterly amazed at how much the music just moved me. To this day, I still cry when they sing Nessun Dorma when I watch Turandot.
But no one can do it better than Luciano.

I love to experience a good opera show. I've been to musicals but never been to an opera yet
anyway, i would love to experience an opera show before i die. can i wear a t-shirt and jeans? i noticed they usually wear glamorous outfits. why is that so?
chase of norway- you have have have to see an opera once. there's usually two reactions: either you love it or hate it.
chase- hmmmm Manila Opera does performances but only on certain months. visit the ccp website for more info. opera does have a more rigid dress code. it shows respect to the artists as well as preserve history. there's no other experience like it. it's worth wearing the suit and tie.
streams- he's much much more legendary than caruso now...well i thnk so...hehe
