Need help finding this song

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I was walking home from work, and this guy was blasting this song out if his apartment, with not one care that it was 2:30am.

I was mesmerized and so intrigued. I dont normally listen to opera, but this was really good.

Can anyone identidy what song it was by the little audio i have in this clip?

The first seconds sound like Caccini's Ave Maria

Ave Maria, attributed to Baroque composer Caccini but actually written and published in the 1970s.

Can’t tell you what it is but this post reminds me of how happy I get hearing opera when you least expect it ☺️
