Ask The Diva

Question: I heard the most beautiful aria about a girl pleading with her father to allow her to see her boyfriend. No title was give and I would love to purchase a recordiing of that opera/aria. I am certain it is famous. can you help me please with some suggestions to search for?

Diva: It sounds like "O mio babbino caro" from Giacomo Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi." I believe it was used on the soundtrack of the movie "A Room with a View" several years ago, as sung by Kiri Te Kanawa.
