Una Furtiva lagrima–Mario Lanza

On Thanksgiving day, we listened to three versions of the soaring song, “One Alone.” It is very similar to arias from opera. To prove this point, we are going to supply you with two opera arias today, along with one operetta song from The Desert Song, to show the similarity of this form of music.

Our first aria is Mario Lanza’s version of “Una furtiva lagrima.”
