Oprah Endorses Puccini

With weightier endorsements behind her, Oprah has now voiced her support for Puccini. In the December 2008 issue of O: The Oprah Magazine, the "The O List" of must-haves includes a new release of Puccini's Complete Operas, a 20 disc set that's going for just $79 on Amazon.com. The magazine says, "Puccini's music can break hearts and stun with its sheer drama. Mark the composer's 150th birthday with a gift of the complete operas...". Oprah also endorses polka-dot piggy banks, pomegranate vinegar, and monorgrammed soap this month.
