I have to laugh when I listen to the crap my son listens to on his MP3 player. He tells me that apparently I have to 'get with it' & listen to his 'sexy music' Little does he know...

This must have been Massenet's dream, Anna singing his "Manon" ones.

There shouldn't be a dislike button for this.

I wish alot of people were exposed to classical music.

Amazing, im usually the one to listen to heavy metal, but once in a while, i love to listen to beautiful music, real music.

@hiloc19 Actually she was cremated. Her ashes were interned at Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris and were stolen. Her ashes were recovered and then scattered into the Aegean Sea. Only the original urn remains at the cemetery.

Netrebko really captures the moments that's almost definitive of everything you want to see on stage.

@Pizuzuzimmer "O, reform it altogether. And let those that play

your clowns speak no more than is set down for them;

for there be of them that will themselves laugh, to

set on some quantity of barren spectators to laugh

too; though, in the mean time, some necessary

question of the play be then to be considered:

that's villanous, and shows a most pitiful ambition

in the fool that uses it. Go, make you ready."

(W.Shakespeare, Hamlet)

@CommodusSPQR

The young and the vulgar confuse 'sexiness' with a machine-like thump-thump-thump rhythm and a strumpet dry humping a pole. Those who have risen far above the rank of the base apes understand that human sexuality can be so much more than that.
