..video bellissimo!! Orgoglioso di essere Italiano e di esportare nel mondo questa bellezza. Vedere poi culture e razze di tutto il mondo che ascoltano e cantano sorridendo la "Traviata" mi rendo molto fiero del mio Paese.

I could never be the one guy who has to start it off and pull it through for about 45 seconds alone...

This was a great video to watch...I loved the man's reaction at the beginning after the "waiter" took his flute. His "What the hell?" was my reaction after the end of the opera. Thanks for posting this!
