Everyone is hating on watch jojo. But in Truth they are introducing opera to a younger crowd and that's something opera needs right now.

As a 13 year old, who has been singing opera for 2 years and watching since 4, I think opera is one of most beautiful genres of music in the world.

[tendolk]

I am 14 and love opera. Some my think it is weird for a teenager to adore opera music but I stand to it!!
It is just soooo beautiful

[bigpicture]

“From the late Mozart” omg I had no idea he passed!?!

[mariasotello]

I love how in the Italian titles he says them in a french accent 😂

[trentreid]

I'm not here cuz I like you, I'm here cuz I'm hoping you have the name of a opera I want to listen to

[masterpokeball]

Finally, after all these years, ive finally found what i was looking for, i have been searching the internet for the name of this song for so long, and now i know its name, ”La donna è mobile”

Phantom of the Opera is a musical, it just takes place at an opera :/

Edit: Yes, some songs are operatic in style, but the story itself is not an opera and therefore, doesn't belong on this list. Carmina Burana also doesn't belong on this list. It's a cantata, not an opera.

Phantom of the Opera is NOT an opera, it's a musical. It may have the word Opera in it, but it's just a musical with classical music. Webber would be unimpressed.

Narrator: pronounces "Voi che sapete" wrong
Singer : pronounces it right
Narrator : says it wrong again
Singer : am I a

[angelasilvi]

Nessun Dorma is by far one of the best opera songs of all time! Every time I hear it sung I get all choked up and it was also sung by one of the best opera singers of all time.

[allersum]

Queen of the Night should be higher. Its a staple song for opera singers around the world.

[patrickmeisinger]

"The Phantom of the Opera" is a Musical, not an Opera!

[stoneysauce]

Queen of the Night's Aria only ranks at #9? Are you insane?

[batmanbmx]

It probably would be better if siri pronounced the names

[harrisdavid]

Fun fact: the soprano across from Pavarotti is Cynthia Lawrence. She teaches at my school, and she's amazing. I loved doing master class with her.

[ilademil]

I am here because me and my husband used to go Wien Opera before covid, I think I listened all of these opera’s ( of course with different performer) and so proud with it. Hope covid over again and we can go again

[ritterrvr]

What about Figaro, Barber of Seville?

[Filomatia]

The narrator's attempts to pronounce the Italian names are atrocious.
