What is the most popular opera song?

Answer 1

Well you see, it's impossible to say which classical piece is the most popular. And there are not many classical songs more classical pieces. Songs have lyrics in them whilst pieces are just compositions. I prefer pieces by Mozart, Beethoven, Bach and Chopin.

Try listening to a variety and find out which classical song you like.

I like Turkish March by W.A Mozart, Fur Elise by Beethoven and Pachelbel's Canon in D. But ultimately it comes down to what you enjoy. In songs, there will never be a definite most popular as people have different tastes.

I know this doesn't answer your question and I'm sorry but ultimately this question is an open-ended one because everyone has their view.

Answer 2

Probably the best known operatic aria is Nessum Dorma from Puccini's Turandot. It became known to a wider public when the BBC used Pavorotti's recording of it as the theme song for their coverage of the 1990 FIFA world cup. It has also been used in many popular films, including The killing fields.
