Hall of Fame 2012 - the top 10 operas
Rousing overtures, belting arias, or melancholy songs - if you're looking for drama, there's bound to be an opera to suit your tastes. But which one came out on top in last year's Hall of Fame?
Carmen – Bizet
10. Including the sultry Habanera, the Toreador’s Song, and Seguidilla among others, Bizet’s opera is packed with brilliant songs and a fantastic story line to match. It’s no wonder it was the tenth most popular opera in the 2012 Hall of Fame, charting at No. 111.
