casta *cough* diva *cough*

my all time favorite opera singer, montserrat caballe, in bellini's 'norma'. and pretty much my all time favorite opera song, casta diva. but you'll see why i gave up being an opera singer once i became a christian - i could never play roles like that.



omigosh, after listening to this, i'm practically drooling....

if i could do some of this, in a way that glorifies God, i'd be pretty happy, lol!

listen to the whole thing - and that's an ORDER!!!! lol... it's only ten minutes.... and if you don't fall in love with it, i'll be amazed!

oh, this brings back bittersweet memories....

edited to add another favorite: from donizetti's 'lucrezia borgia' (10 minutes):

and another, 'vissi d'arte' from tosca (only 3 minutes):



a few more:
"piangete voi?" from donizetti's anna bolena
Verdi's Il Trovatore, "D'amor sull'ali rosee" and "Miserere & Tu vedrai"
"Dove sono" from Mozart's le Nozze di Figaro
