strange seeing this on youtube.. feels like only a few years ago I saw it live! :| it was definitely better live, but pretty good here still :)

Nice job! Interesting breathing technique though... but beautiful sound!

Nice job! You should hear Simon's voice now, though!

This is UncleSol7379's wife; my message is for whoever gave my husband's post a thumbs-down.

No, this piece is not an opera aria. I am an opera singer, voice teacher, and Music History professor so I know for a fact that this was a piece written for Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. I've had students in my studio sing this piece, and lovely as it is I can confirm it is not from an opera. It seems as if Americans think anything not sung in English is opera; not always true!

[UncleSol7379]

It's a pop piece; my wife is an opera singer and voice teacher and she confirmed it. We actually found it because we were looking for a friend's name. So, you may want to check your facts before you criticize!

What is it then? Sounds operatic to me :-)

Anyway, you might never have found it if I hadn't given it a rating. this video had been neglected for a year when I gave it 5 stars. I think the related videos favours higher rated videos, so you might never have seen it.

To "Gassyoldman": this is not opera!!!  Just because something is in Italian does NOT make it opera!

[Kittigami]

omg this is so good! now i'm proud of being in TAS!

[gassyoldman]

Yet another great performance ignored by the viewers! Been up for almost a year and not even rated! I fixed that 5*****.

So good I listened twice even though I'm not into opera.
