Opera and good bye to Rome

(Don here) Following our evening tour of the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel, we were taken to Ristaurante Opera. We were served a traditional multi-course Italian dinner with wine. We thought the food was not out of the ordinary (our previous restaurant meals had been really great). What was a surprise was to be treated to live opera while we dined. A young lady, accompanied by a young man on an accordion, sang well-known opera songs. I eventually asked her if she took requests, and she said she did. I requested O Mio Babbino Caro (Puccini), which Sami and I know and like, and she sang a very nice rendition. I recorded a video of it also. It did make the evening  special. Back on board, we left Rome, sailing south.
