This piece you listened to hear is titled Ah! Fors'e lui written by Giuseppe Verdi. This song can be heard from Act 1 Giuseppe Verdi's La traviata. It is said to be one of my most popular songs that i have sung.

This building you see hear is the Metropolitan(The Met) Opera House, which is located in Manhattan, New York. I sang at The Met in New York and Chicago, I even reeled The Met audiences to Oscar Hammerstein's new theatre and saved the house financially.  Knowing this makes me feel very accomplished!

Royal Opera House "Covent Garden"

The Royal Opera House "Covent Garden" is  located in London, England, where I performed many wonderful productions and concerts many times. Though the first time I performed there, they hardly fancied me!? Yet somehow I managed to allure the influential patroness Lady de Gray to take me under her wing. I later returned instead as Donnezetti's Lucia.
