I am also a huge fan of classical music.
Sounds like you enjoy Opera very much.
Funny you have all mentioned Maria Callas, I was listening to her singing the Aria from La Wally on repeat-play yesterday.
Absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you for the link Gray ...wonderful voice and this link is from Tosca the Opera...she sings of how tormented she is when she kills Scarpio the baddie in Tosca...it's so moving as ive read the subtitles from the 1960s production ...( think it is on DVD or maybe some. More on youtube....) ...l will trawl through the you tube line up,at the weekend

...there is a great documentary that was on Sky arts 2 all about her ....they quite often repeat it ...she had quite a difficult life it seems ...and lost the love of Onassis to Jackie Kennedy...an amazing talent and I cant even remember how i first got to know about her ...Tosca is a really easy powerful opera to follow ....and madam butterfly ( miss Saigon musical based on this ..seeing 12 July ..and have done before in the 1990s ...
Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go.....
