UniqueTracks has released 5 new volumes of royalty free classical music entitled The Opera Pack. These recordings feature some of the most famous and recognizable songs in the world.

Remember the famous helicopter attack scene in Apocalypse Now? That scene was made even more dramatic (some might say infamous) with its use of Richard Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries as soundtrack. Ride of the Valkyries is featured in our Opera Pack collection.

You may have followed the story of Paul Potts, a mobile phone salesman from South Wales who, in June of 2007, stunned Simon Cowell and the other judges when he sang Puccini’s Nessun Dorma on the TV show Britain’s Got Talent.
