Phantom of the Opera is a musical, it just takes place at an opera :/ Edit: Yes, some songs are operatic in style, but the story itself is not an opera and therefore, doesn't belong on this list. Carmina Burana also doesn't belong on this list. It's a cantata, not an opera.

@desertpair2 7 лет назад

A musical is, basically, pop stuff, wherein the actors speak in normal voices for the most part, and then suddenly burst into song when you least expect it. Plus, they don't sing like opera singers, with their extended ranges. Opera is pretty much all music, with elite musical talent singing things that most people couldn't even consider singing. I mean, it's a whole different world!

Queen of the Night should be higher. Its a staple song for opera singers around the world.

@jonathanthorn6615 5 лет назад

I would have to politely disagree. #1 It is specifically an aria for a soprano (female) voice, so not exactly a staple song for opera singers around the world. #2 even just considering the sopranos in opera, the range, breath control, and clarity of pitch that must be done in order for it to sound even decent let alone perfect, is not something every soprano can do. However, it is one of my favorite pieces to listen to and thus I do think it's placement is incorrect.

+MoonstonePearl21 Classical music has been used in soundtracks going all the way back to silent movies. I think a lot of people think silent movies were really silent.

If the studio didn't own the score (like the improvised ones used in small theaters) they used public domain music, especially classical, to avoid paying royalties.

+WatchMojo.com Dear People on WatchMojo.com, the list is partially inaccurate. It is also pretty disrespectful that the narrator can't even pronounce correctly the names of the arias, operas or composers. also, do some better research, great effort on trying to bring pop culture references, but there are great versions out there with real great singers for some of the examples. Please note that "O Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi" from Carl Orff Carmina Burana is NOT an aria NOR Carmina Burana is an Opera; same as "The Music of the Night" from the Phantom of the opera by Andrew Lloyd Weber is a Musical Theater piece, the fact that says opera doesnt make it one. And Last, but not least, opera singer NEVER belt... What a disappointment on this one...

However, it is NOT OPERA as we know it.I first performed this on a scholarship, with pro orchestra, soloists, conductor & ballet when I was only 16 years old. Long story. I do not wish to bore you with details of my own career. However I choose to lead a quiet life & not plaster my work all over internet.

+Christopher S. Lilley - The French pronunciation of the Verdi entry was hilarious. Also, in most cases the the titles of the arias are sung within the first few bars. It would have taken them like six seconds extra per aria to hear the correct pronunciation.

His German accent was also horrible. But the fact that he didn't have this problem in his French pronunciation makes it unacceptable. Why put so much effort only on French but butcher all others? Especially Italian, that was just atrocious. It doesn't cost anything to look at the pronunciation before making the video.

Bocelli uses "classical," "art," "bel canto" techniques. Their premise did not require the clips be of opera performances. And in THAT they succeed. André Rieu? NOT an opera conductor. Seems okay on Burana, but that's not even an opera.

Thank you for uploading a clip, listing many famous operas to a younger crowd. Really appreciate it. 😊 Amongst honourable mentions came the musical "Phantom of the Opera", in my opinion it is a musical with some opera characteristics but wouldn't sort it to opera. What I thought is at least mention worthy is Gounod's Faust. (My favorite song is "Le veau d'or est toujour debout" sung by Mephisto in baritone.) Cheers and keep it up! 😉
