  • Fun fact: The cello notes from 0:48 to 0:57 were used in Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" at the very end of the song.

  • Bonitas imágenes. La interpretación me parece no serena si no almibarada. Compárese con mi favorita, la de Tatiana Troyanos.

  • I was waiting for her to say "Boats 'n' Hoes" the whole time...

  • aah I have seen this opera, it was stunning!

  • trully beautiful, really touching and sad aria. Simply amazing.

  • @NeonNinjaSquirrel

    wow that's pretty sad

  • @b0ttomzone And Ground Bass :D

  • Preciosas imágenes pero interpretación,desde mi punto de vista, falta de garra y dramatismo. 

  • In the film Downfall, this is used in an instrumental form.

  • He wrote all these amazing, beautiful pieces.

    Then he died because his wife was mad at him and wouldn't let him in the house.
