Welcome, Bussetta, hope to see many more thoughtful posts by you.

Coppola liked opera. lThe brindisi (drinking song) from Traviata is one of the most famous and recognizable opera choruses. A trio from Rigoletto appears at Anthony's party in GFII. A little, white-suited band (similar to the one that played at Michael and Apollonia's wedding in GF) plays a chorus from Nabucco when Michael . in Bagheria in GFIII. Nice that he surrounded the conclusion of III with Cavalleria Rusticana, and closed with the famous Intermezzo from that opera.
