Gia, my favourite operas are Tosca and Pagliacci, both when I'm drunk or sober.
I never saw Tosca live, though, only on tv. Mario was Placido Domingo. I had a crush on him when I was 17. I saw him as Canio in Pagliacci in Verona. He was great.
I saw Madame Butterfly live at the theatre Carlo Felice in Genova. Puccini's one of my favourite composers.

The stars were shining
the ground was smelling good
and a step grazed the sand
the door of the garden squeaked
she, perfuming, came in

Oh sweet kisses, oh languid caresses
while I, quivering, undressed her beautiful body

My dream of love vanished forever
The hour is over
and i die as a desperate man
and I die as a desperate man
and I've never loved life this way
never loved life this way
