Well, Callas once said, while one of Tebaldi's recordings was playing at the home of a friend, "Well, yes, it's beautiful ..... but, who cares?"

I've only seen the video they play on Ovation network with Pavoratti and Margaret Price. I don't know much about Opera ,but those two had amazing voices!! I'm trying to expand my horizons, but haven't gotten past the big ABC operas yet

Well, jump straight to L and pick up Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro. Along with Mozart's Don Giovanni, it's arguably the greatest opera ever written. It's my absolute favorite.

The first opera I saw was "La Boheme" and is still my favorite. There are many great recordings...I do love the Callas and the Baz Luhrmann Broadway cast.
