This opera is a total bummer!  Good always loses to Bad.  And the most popular aria of the opera is "La donna mobile;" is a tune so sexist that it wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding if aired fresh today.  Ah, but Verdi was a master of melody and this song is one of his finest constructions!  When the two quartets start, please take note of the amazing separation of voices that keeps the duet and quartet scenes understandable!  And Pavarotti was in fine form for this movie version of the opera!  So I beg you, enjoy just the notes at least; we all can learn about the craft of musical composition from this masterpiece!
