An opera has to have beautiful melodies to make an impression on me.
Just to emphasize: this was at a performance of an opera by Puccini. It has plenty of beautiful melodies; they just don't come in the form of discrete arias.

One of those melodies from Fanciulla that didn't come in the form of a discrete aria was good enough for Andrew Lloyd Webber to steal it for The Phantom of the Opera's big tune, Music of the Night. She probably liked it in *that* guise.
