O.K. I just watched some of Aida on youtube, I'm interested. At some point I'd like to purchase it on blu-ray. Amazon has many different editions, can you make a recommendation from the following list:

Oh, and maybe some moderator could start an Opera Appreciation thread in the Other Music Talk forum and move these posts there? Thanks in advance!  

I would take one of these three. The last one just because of Pavarotti

I see you're into Italian opera. I'm mostly into German. As I said, I dig Wagner, also love Mozart, especially Die Zauberflote, and Weber's Der Freischutz. (Sorry for my lack of umlauts.) I do like the Italian opera Rigoletto by Verdi, what other Italian opera should I try next?

Absolutly try Aida!

Welcome to the forum. I like the little bit of Opera I know about, especially the Italian stuff you mention. Do you play percussion in the opera? 

Yes:)

Hey friends,

After few years of thinking I finally created my own youtube channel. I am recording drum covers mostly of Iron Maiden ( I'm Nicko McBrain fan) but in the future I will make some other metal covers for sure. 

I would kindly ask you to check my covers and please...give me some advice or motivation for the future. If you subscribe to my channel I would be even more happy.

Thanks for your support!

Here is Iron Maiden drum cover - Revelations!

Welcome. I have yet to find my way into the world of opera. Hope you enjoy the forum. Any future links to your own music, youtube channel, etc, need to go in either the Events/Promotion or Promote Your Band section, feel free to start a thread there.

Sorry for that. Can I actualy post the cover of my song under the "promote your band" selection?
