while i'm sitting here not being able to sleep i decided that i want to listen to some opera, and i realized i really like opera, especially the extreamly dramatic and bold sounding opera...anyone else like it, or know of any good opera songs?
It's 3:00am and i'm listening to opera

I don't know any opera. I'm listening to "born to be wild" by The Cult. Before that, I listened to "crazy train" by Ozzy Osbourne. I really like channel 6,019, Classic Hardrock.
I do enjoy some from time to time. I have some Verdi, Handel and wagner, and of course how can you go wrong with Bizet's Carmen.cannondalejunky said:

Opera at 3 am is way better than listening to skaredsh*thead bitching about being on call. 
I don't know if it is actually classified as opera...
but I love "Figlio Perduto"
Quick snippet
and... if you like Opera, you might like The East Village Opera Company. They're Rock Opera, which sounds like Queen and the Who.
Nessun Dorma
La Donna e Mobile
They were kind enough to let my students (animation) incorporate one of their songs into a project for a competition... so I owe them.

Carmen is an incredible opera! Can't wait to see it again!splat said:

Puccini's La Boheme is also great.I would also suggest listening to Verdi's Requiem and Orff's Carmina burana...not opera, but SO powerful and truly amazing works to listen to!
I lived with an opera major in college for a half a year and I wanted to strangle her on a daily basis. When you're awakened at 6 a.m. on a Saturday to those shrills coming from your own shower, the music suddenly lacks any beauty.
Carmen is awesome. I need to get a good recording of that some day so I can learn the words and sing along at the top of my lungs.Velocity Girl said:

What's even better than that is that we reinacted it in my 7th grade music class. Oh yeah. Take that moral standards.
