O Mio Babbino Caro

'O Mio Babbino Caro' is the song that made Amira famous, and it is her signature song. But she never sings it the same way twice. Here are a few of what many feel are her best performances of the aria. 'O Mio Babbino Caro' (Oh my dear papa) is from an opera comedy by Puccini. In it, a spoiled young girl begs her father to allow her to marry a boy, and threatens to go to the Ponte Vecchio (a famous medieval bridge in Florence) and drown herself in the Arno River if he refuses. These performances by Amira are in chronological order.
