The Twenty Most Beautiful Opera Duets
It’s all about love in this playlist. Here we run the gamut from the grand bromance of Bizet’s famous 'Pearlfishers' duet and the musings of Lakmé’s Flower Duet and "Bei Männern" (from 'Die Zauberflöte') through the moment cupid’s arrow first strikes ('Der Rosenkavalier') to the intense consummation of 'Tristan und Isolde' or the tragic final duet of 'Rusalka'. Here’s music of the greatest tenderness and the grandest passion, featuring some of the greatest voices to be captured by a microphone.
