Bono's best opera moment
Whats been some of Bono's best operatic moments? When he can really hold a long and strong note? My vote would be Miss Sarajevo from Milan during the Vertigo Tour...that last note is huge.

I was actually going to say Miss Sarajevo as well, but not from Milan. I was thinking of the version from U23D. In Milan, he sounds a bit strained on that note. Not a lot, it's not hideous or anything. But the version from U23D gave me chills. He may have wavered a tiny bit at one point, I can't remember, but he hit the note, and his tone was so full.

The thing about Opera is about emotion to me. I was listening to SYCMIOYO yesterday, and there's a lot of emotion in that song. While I don't really like the song much, it's quite a big opera moment.

His "emotion" is all sorts of fucking awesome in this song.

Miss Sarajevo - some Saitama version, or Honolulu. Or Magnificent, Milano 1. Or Magnificent / Miss Sarajevo (snip), either Zagreb show.

I also like the ending to Winter...although it does sound like Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois join in

My other favorite operatic moment was with a JT era performance of "One Tree Hill" (Austin, 1987). Early in the song, Bono let's out an operatic wail of "oh's" and then has a very powerful "and when it's raining" ending. This may be my favorite performance of that song. I will add the above-referenced "Magnificent" in Milan to this as well. Very good opera voice (i.e., not Kermit) there.
