Extremally stronga

One of the best videos I ever saw on YouTube.

It should be added that the maestro's speech, the emotional reaction of the audience and the entire theatre singing along in the repeat of "Va pensiero" (rare in opera performances) comes after the announcement of the Berlusconi government's deep cuts in the budget for cultural affairs, including cuts in opera performances.

We are lost without the legacy of culture. Philistines like Berlusconi cannot understand this. But there'shope as you see.
