Very cool.
Seconded.
I was born (and am still) in nearby Greece, Ece - and I'm also 18 (more like 19), as well! I don't play the violin, though. :P
But welcome to the forum, nonetheless. ;)
Greetings from The Netherlands Ece, and you are very welcome! :)
Hi Ece, and welcome. You'll find a few Puccini fans here, including me! The Chailly La Bohème (with Gheorghiu and Alagna) is one of my favorite recordings. Anyway, enjoy GMG - lots of interesting people here.

Thank you :)
Angela Gheorghiu is one of my favourite sopranos.I love her Boheme and Tosca.Roberto and Angela are a great couple.I love their singing and acting together.They always make me cry!!
Ece, another warm welcome from the Netherlands.
I see that you are going to reinforce the women and opera lovers on the forum - excellent!
MM (MozartMobster) will undoubtedly try to convert you to Mozart's operas... 8)
Have fun. :)
Q
Welcome Ece!
Puccini is great, he is one of my favorite opera composers.
Ece - huge welcome to the GMG Forum - plenty of opera lovers here! :D
BTW, I'm just getting interested in Ahmet Saygun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmet_Adnan_Saygun) - can't remember at the moment if we have a current thread on him (or whether one might exist on the old forum!). Hope to see you posting & looking forward to your comments - :D
Thanks to everyone! I can't live without opera. :)
SonicMan; if you are interested in Ahmet Adnan Saygun, this video is for you:

Welcome Manon! If you love opera, you should visit our Opera and Vocal section! 0:)
Hello Ece from a fellow Istanbul-bred.
I don't enjoy opera much myself (yet) but we used to go to Istanbul Opera and Ballet's productions in Taksim AKM. I distantly remember a particularly well made Salome from the 1990's (you are obviously too young to have attended though ;D)
Yes, I was very young to watch Salome in Istanbul Opera.
I've been watching operas in AKM for 10 years.I don't miss any opera now.In 2007-2008 season new productions will be shown like Puccini's La Rondine.As i like Puccini a lot, i am happy to hear that! ;)
