I'm not familiar with the opera music in the film. I asked AI, and it said it was from Mozart's Requiem - "Tuba Minum". Check with an AI source, and see if it sounds familiar.

Thanks, @ChiroDoc; I just pulled up Tuba Minum, and wow, its beautiful! It's not the same piece, so I'll keep looking, but what a treat that was!

So, opera is considered classical music???

I guess I considered it an all-encompassing topic, not so specific.

Sorry, I wasn't directing question to anyone specifically.

Oh, no need to apologize! Your post actually sent me off on an online search about music, and to me that's always a good thing.

Opera is a beautiful genre. It combines classical music with singing and acting. And the old productions (for example at the MET) had beautiful staging and costumes.

I love opera. I only regret that I became an opera lover too late (in my 50s).

I'm not too knowledgeable on the topic in general, but depending on the time-frame you were interested in it, can you guess who this person is?

To my ear the aria sounds Italian: Verdi, Puccini, etc. But I don't know the piece.

Opera is not generally referred to as "classical music", although in the strictest sense it is.

Music specifically from the Classical Period (1730-1820) would include the composers Mozart Beethoven, Schubert, and others.

But for more than a century, "classical music" generally refers to western music that is not popular music, or folk music-- most often symphonic or chamber music. It used to be called "long haired music". But '60s rock took care of THAT description...
