It's a beautiful opera but then I'm partial to French operas. I always liked the flower duet but now I hear it everywhere I go so I'm tired of it
British Airways (which I fly often) uses it in their marketing and as background music on their planes even.
I'd love to participate in this thread but I'm connecting via 4G and the youtube links are clogging my device!
But I would mention:
"Must the Winter Come So Soon" from Barber's
Vanessa (I like Denyce Graves doing this)
"Pace, pace mio Dio" from Verdi's
La Forza del Destino (Leontyne Price if possible)
"Chi il bel sogno di Doretta" from
La Rondine by Puccini (Kiri or Leontyne)
Good stuff.
