who is the female singer in the DFS advert singing mio babbino caro OTHERWISE KNOWN AS oh my beloved father.

[Philtaz]

Sounds like Montserrat Caballe to me.

You are looking at the information for the 2008 advert for DFS Sofas.

The music is O Mio Babbino Cara from Gianni Schicchi by Giacomo Puccini.

Not sure of the singer but a short while ago Charlotte Church bought a DFS sofa from one of their stores, perhaps they did a deal.

On this Charlotte Church album no. 4 track is:

O Mio babbino Cara

coincidence? could be

Thanks to Philtaz and Kev 1 but I knew these weren't correct after I had listened to 32 recordings and none of them sounded like the advert. The nearest was by ANNA NETREBKO but even she was not the singer so I wrote to DFS and they came straight back with the reply. TATIANA LISNIC accompanied by the Malaga Harmonic Orchestra.
However I fell in love with ANNA NETREBKO'S voice and bought her CD on e bay. She is also very beautiful and of Russian origin. She is also on YOU TUBE.
