“Hitman Returns” was filmed before a sold out crowd last year at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Pie Jesu” from Requiem has been steadily increasing in popularity since its premier in 1985, massively in part to the large successes of Angelis, a six-member group of preteens created by Simon Cowell in 2006, Sarah Brightman (Webber’s wife at the time), Marie Osmond, Charlotte Church, and Jackie Evancho. Requiem earned Lloyd Webber a Grammy Award for Best Classical Contemporary Composition.
“O mio babbino caro” (“Oh My Beloved Father”) is a soprano aria from the opera Gianni Schicchi (1918), by Giacomo Puccini, to a libretto by Giovacchino Forzano. It is sung by Lauretta after tensions between her father Schicchi and the family of Rinuccio, the boy she loves, have reached a breaking point that threatens to separate her from Rinuccio.
