I have some stuff I can up, but not sure it's what you're looking for.
The more mellow, ethereal sound. Nothing too bombastic.

Just you tubed a few snippets and they seem a little OTT for what I was looking for but there is something that appeals for sure. I would imagine an Opera is a lights out eyes closed type of experience. Thanks for the suggestion.

Man, you know, I'm having a real hard time getting into mainstream post-grunge. Anyone think they can help me?

Which artists have you looked into so far?

Here's one you may know...I love it personally, may be a little much for you but worth a try. (It's just one song...we can post links to single songs right?)
14 Ellens Gesang III ('Ave Maria'), song for voice & piano, D. 839 (Op. 52-6).mp3

Just some mainstream stuff. I recently stumbled upon a good jazz/blues station here and they play alot of good stuff but don't offer a tracklist so i rarely know what they are playing. Any reco's would be nice.

I don't know much opera at all, but what do you think of this....

Caruso - Luciano Pavarotti



On the version I have, Jeff Beck plays on it and it's incredible.

This isn't quite as mellow, but I like this track a lot too...

Gladiatore - Luciano Pavarotti
