What an awesome song, truly makes my spine tingle listening to it. Don't know if you'd call it opera or what, but I'm looking to see what else I can find now.
Strayed off my usual diet of rock and techno and discovered the song Con Te Partiro (Time for goodbye). Came across it watching the Sopranos box set
(series II IIRC).

Youtube link (hope it's the correct one!)
It was sung by Andrea Bocelli i think that might be the most upto date version. Dont listen to his xmas album cos its pish.

Sarah Brightman does a good version of it, the duet with her and Andrea Bocelli is good too imo.
The English version is called Time To Say Goodbye.
I became aware of the song in the same way. That episode has the directors comentary on it and worth watching helps you pick up even more nuances.
On a musical front try "Au Font Du Temple Saint" from Bizet's "The Pearl Fishers" a similarly stirring piece of Opera,
however it is an important piece for me and others may not have the same affininty.
