I vane done a lot of opera, but could not resist recording this wonderful aria by Giacomo Puccini. The comical opera "Gianni Schichi" was composed in 1917-18, and Lauretta's short but poignant aria "O mio babbino caro" is Puccini's best loved and most well-known melodies, and indeed one of the most popular arias of the entire opera repertoire. For those interested, here is a link to the score on MPSLP :
s9.imslp.org/f...
This is based on the vocal score, which I assume to have been compiled by Puccini himself. This version has a short added intro which is not found in the vocal score, and the author of which is unknown to me.
