I came home at the end of a very long day today and discovered a little treasure in the mail. One of my favorite people sent me a collection of her favorite opera music on CD. (Thanks!) I was just "titillated" to put it in the stereo and let the day's frustrations melt away to La Boheme, Turandot, La Tosca. It's universally romantic, but it doesn't have to be: We made pancakes for dinner with The Barber of Seville as accompaniment! (B's comment: "Hey, this is from Bugs Bunny!") Among my favorites: Nessum Dorma (Puccini: Turandot), O Mio Babino Caro (Puccini: Gianni Schicchi), Song to the Moon (Dvorak: Rusalka), Che Gelia Manina (Puccini: La Boheme). There's nothing like a good aria! Next up: bubble bath, candles, and La Traviata. It's bliss!

Very glad you liked it! Nice reference to my favorite adjective.... My husband would have noticed the exact same thing!
I love a good opera CD as well. When my husband is gone (or otherwise occupied!) I like to put on my "opera" playlist and do dishes or cook to Puccini especially. I'd love to see Madame Butterfly in New York someday....
