Is NOTHING sacred to the Trump campaign? Now they've stolen Pavarotti singing "Nessun Dorma"!!!

[CTyankee]

I AM IN A TOTAL RAGE! Pavarotti's widow has complained. He just borrows Puccini and one of the world's greatest operatic tenors to announce his plane flying into Cleveland, blaring it out on loudspeakers.

Maybe they'll grab Kiri Te Kanawa's beautiful rendering of O Mio Babbino Caro when Ivanka campaigns with her "dearest daddy."

Maybe Melania, who was a jewelry designer, can blast few bars from a recording of Maria Callas"Vissi d'arte" while they're at it.

This guy has NO SHAME. I am going to beat up a pillow...

1. Why am I reminded of the opera scene in *The Untouchables*...?

[pinboy3niner]

2. I could just...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. And even apart from that, what does the aria have to do with the campaign?

Except that "nessun dorma" means "nobody sleeps." That could be true, considering Trump gives people nightmares.

[CTyankee]

4. they play the ending of the aria which is "Vincero! Vincero! Vincero"

"I will win!"

The little video in the article shows the plane landing w/that ending blaring away.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Oh, of course.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Maybe "Che gelida manina" would be more fitting

in light of Trump's tiny hands.

I think the most appropriate opera selection would be the chorus "Ahi, caso acerbo" from L'Orfeo.

[CTyankee]

12. That scene from La Boheme is heartbreakingly beautiful...

thanks for reminding me...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. You want heartbreakingly beautiful Puccini? Try this one:

[malthaussen]

7. Seriously?

Have you ever seen the opening of "Triumph des Willens?"

-- Mal

[CTyankee]

11. no, I'll try to find it, on youtube tho...

[malthaussen]

15. Opening scene after the title cards...

Uncle Adolf descending through the clouds in his airplane to the Nuremburg rally. I had remembered it with "Ride of the Valkyries" playing in the background, but actually that only happened on my internal soundtrack.

8. The irony is that the ones who were hearing it

wouldn't understand the implications..

Now, if they had played some Willie Nelson/Merle Haggard/etc....maybe

[pinboy3niner]

9. They could play 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' and they wouldn't get the irony

[Mc Mike]

10. That's the 4th one I've seen so far.

Hey, how come he doesn't steal any Murican made music?

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. He's coming to kill the wabbit?

[smirkymonkey]

16. Sacrilege!

To be honest, I am amazed he has ever heard of it.

[CTyankee]

18. somebody working for him did, tho. they played the ending where "Vincero!" is repeated 3 times.

and very strongly, with certainty. Trump is in our faces (in this case operatically/dramatically/with flourish) to drive home one of his main messages which is his certainty of ALWAYS winning.

[UTUSN]

17. They/DRUMPF got no music, know no music, have no RESPECT for anything, are *IGNORANT*
