The #1 Opera Album
$17.98
I purchased this CD as a birthday gift for my sister. Because I personally know nothing about opera, I didn't know how to buy a single opera for her, or even which one she would like if I did know how to get it. So I settled on this "sampler" style Cd, and she just loved it. This is the best of the best of all opera arias and performances. My sister plays it all the time, and I think it is actually one of her favorite CDs. If you have a friend or family member who loves opera but you don't know anything about it, I can't recommend this CD enough.

Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments
$17.98
I love opera so this was an easy one for me to like! If you close your eyes you can imagine listening to this by a crackling fire while getting a massage. I debated getting two of these as I know I'm going to wear this one out!

Very good introduction to La Scala opera. The connaisseur might be a wee more demanding.
