Rainy day opera

I know nothing about opera, only that I really love some of Puccini's arias.  I just heard this one on WQXR.org - Mirella Freni sings "Si.  Mi chiamano Mimi" from La Boheme.  Her voice really moved me and I think it is the perfect song for such a rainy day.

I don't know very much about opera at all. A few years ago i took my mam to see The Polish State Opera play La Traviata. It moved e to tears. I'd like to know more. Puccini and Verdi pieces are very beautiful.

I'll bet that was a wonderful time with your mother, Jasmine...one of my sisters loves the opera and has season tickets to the NY Met. I only know some of the arias by ear - I don't know much about the actual story.

Did you see "Moonstruck" with Cher and Nicholas Cage? That featured opera and it also moved Cher's character to tears. I think the emotional aspect of music can do that to anyone...
