One of the Reasons I Love Opera

[courtjester08]

In medieval Flanders, Frank and Fidelia's father has brought up a black girl, Tigrana, abandoned as a baby by gypsies. Frank is in love with the beautiful Tigrana who, like Fidelia, is attracted to Edgar. Once more Tigrana has spitefully denounced Frank, but when she leaves, her spell continues to enslave him.

That's Puccini, right? Puccini arias, no matter how many times I hear them, still give me the shivers. I went to a concert performance of Turandot once. I almost fell out of my chair a couple of times. It was a very emotional experience even without the elaborate stage sets and costumes.
