The legendary Maria Callas performing the Habanera from Bizet’s opera Carmen. With just a single glance and pure, magnetic presence, she completely owned the stage. Masterclass in performance art!

Everyone is singing in English, then Canadian singer Bryan Adams comes along and starts singing in Italian. You can see how delighted Luciano Pavarotti is, with a huge smile on his face. He seems genuinely impressed and deeply appreciative of the respect Bryan is showing, and you can even see him bowing at the end of the song.
There’s something I can learn from this. If everyone showed love and respect for one another, the world would be a much better place.
