Sad Opera Music?

[BoosterBronze]

You know that kind of opera that plays when someone dies all dramatically in slow-motion in a movie? I need some opera music like that because I have someone dying all dramatically in slo-mo in a video I'm editing.

Any reccomendations? I tried googling 'aria' but all I got was pics of a hot nekked lady.

Thanks crew.

For your consideration:

La Boheme: Act I - Che gelida manina by Giacomo Puccini

Lakme: Act II - Ou va la jeune indoue? by Leo Delibe

Cavalleria Rusticana: Act I: Qual fiamma avea nel guardo!... Stridono lassu

Or you can always go with the prominent (sometimes abused) Vesti la Giubba from Pagliacci: Act I by Ruggiero Leoncavallo.

Those are just some suggestions.

Wozzeck by Alban Berg has a sad death scene in it but it's an atonal opera and may not set the right mood.

It's good that you're not thinking of going with the usual Adagio from Barber's string quartet. :D

thank you sirs. I shall try my local library on the morrow.

I think I'll avoid the Pagliacci clip. To recognizable, likely to provoke giggles.
