I have loved opera music ever since I was in junior high. It helps that my voice is made more for singing classical style music than Broadway or pop.
If you would like to sample some good music (beyond what is on the "Opera Goes to the Movies" CD you need for college Humanities courses) here are some of my favorites:
Lucia Popp Sings Opera Arias by MozartI have several of Ms. Popp's CD's. She has a beautiful clear voice... not too heavy. My favorites on this particular CD are #2 Voi Che Sapete and #4 Porgi Amor.
Magdalena Kozena: Love Songs
Especially love #25 Lullaby
Especially love #25 Lullaby
Phantom: A classic. The original recording with Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford. Amazing!
Speaking of Sarah Brightman, my awesome sister-in-law Katie gave me this CD one year, and my life has never been the same since. All the songs are so beautiful, and it includes the duet "Time to Say Goodbye" with Andrea Bocelli, and Elliott's favorite aria, "O mio babbino caro"
Finally, one of my favorite opera CDs ever... The Three Sopranos. Love every song on it! I aspire to this glory!!!!
