This review is from: Pavarotti's Opera Made Easy-My Favorite Showstoppers (Audio CD)

If you want to get a complete opera, this CD isn't for you, but it is an excellent compilation of different opera arias from various composers, most of which are Italian. Some highlights are "Vient, Diletto" and "Ah Mes Amis".
