Favortie Puccini Arias?

[Jonathan]

I was wondering whether anyone had any thoughts as to the greatest Arias by Puccini?

Personally, I have the following list:
Nessun Dorma "Turandot"
Un Bel Di "Madama Buttefly"
Che Gelida Manina "La Boheme"
Si, Mi Chiamano Mimì "La Boheme"
O mio babbino caro "Gianni Schicchi"

I'm curious about what some others on the board think. Looking forward to your replies.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Well, I don't think I can add anything other than agree with you; those are indeed magnificent arias

I realize that this thread is not all that recent, but to add my thoughts, I love pretty much all the arias in Tosca. Actually, I love the entire opera- the drama is so intense.

Hurray for Puccini!

 

[Serassi1836]

Tosca: Recondita, Tre sbirri, E lucevan
Turandot: Non piangere Liù, Nessun dorma
Bohème: Che gelida manina

 

[Kromme]

All of those are magnificent;but my absolute favourite amongst them is Nessun Dorma

 

[Corno Dolce]

Non Piangere Liù - from Turandot

Ch'il bel sogno di Doretta - from La Rondine
