SERIOUSLY archaic opera question.

[RacinM3]

Back when the Bellagio in Vegas first opened, television was inundated with ads touting the opening. There was a famous opera song that was the soundtrack of the ads.

Anybody remember what the name of the song was?

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Have you heard it on CNBC? I'm not talking about Jimmy Rogers contrarian reports. I'm talking about opera stars Andrea Bocelli and the lovely Sarah Brightman singing in front of this enchanting Italian villa on a lake. On the eve before Steve Wynn's Bellagio opening, let's take a look at Mirage (NYSE: MIR) and the financial implications of the new hotel and resort. Mirage is currently trading around $14, at a three-year low.

It's unclear from the sentence structure in that article, but maybe it was an Andrea Bocelli song...

Opera and Las Vegas?

Once again, RichK comes through! Con Te Partirò, by Andrea Bocelli.


The Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas In 1998, Andrea burst onto the American scene when the Tuscan-themed Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas used "Con Te Partirò" in their advertisements, enchanting the U.S. with Andrea’s voice. It is also the featured music in one of the shows of the Fountains of Bellagio, whose movements are choreographed to music and light.

Grazie molto, il mio amico!

And as a bonus, during my search I found the name of a song in Ocean's Eleven that I really liked: Clair de Lune - Claude DeBussy
