Music from opera?

From which opera does the music come from starting at 0:10? 5.168.1.240 (talk) 13:55, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Someone is incessantly and loudly talking through the music, making it hard to hear anything else, but what I hear does not sound particularly operatic. Could it be from a symphony? The style is romantic. --Lambiam 14:46, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My phone's song identification utility (most Android phones will find a song if you pish the little microphone button and select "search a song") identifies it as "True Love - Ashley Returns to Tara from The War - Tara in Ruins" from the Gone With The Wind score by Max Steiner. It seems pretty close. --Jayron 32 15:40, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The same question was asked three years ago, see Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Entertainment/2019_August_22#Background_music, and I'm still sticking to the answer I gave then: I think it's actually the film score you can hear toward the end of Visconti's Bellissima, a film in which young Corrado Mantoni actually played a minor part (the radio announcer). Franco Mannino who composed the score drew from the opera L'elisir d'amore by Donizetti. ---Sluzzelin talk 17:15, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And both IP's link to Italy. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:30, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sluzzelin and Baseball Bugs: I found the movie on YouTube but it is hard to me to find the composition. --5.168.1.240 (talk) 18:54, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, scratch my answer. I don't know what I heard three years ago, but Jayron's device had it right. The part one can hear in your link starts approximately at 2min 32s of "True Love - Ashley Returns to Tara from the War - Tara in Ruins" from Steiner's film score of GWTW. (Won't link to YT for copyright reasons, but this is the album). ---Sluzzelin talk 19:56, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sluzzelin: I believe that copyright is broken by YouTube, not by Wikipedia. Link to something is not against the law. I have listened and I found it different than the video I posted originally... --5.168.1.240 (talk) 21:36, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your statement on the law is overly simplistic but in any case it's forbidden under policy to link to copyright violations WP:COPYLINK. Nil Einne (talk) 05:47, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
