  • Sacla' the Pesto Pioneers and Italian foodies favourite brand, served up a great surprise at John Lewis Foodhall from Waitrose and staged an impromptu Opera in the food aisles.
    They planted five secret opera singers who were disguised as casual shoppers and store staff amongst the groceries who broke into song bringing the foodhall to a standstill with a rousing rendition of the Italian classic Funiculì, Funiculà.

    Omg I was there! I remember this and it was stunningly good. Even funnier was how they all went back to the shelf stacking and shopping afterwards and just melted away. So clever. The world needs more of this.

    I'm reading all the negative comments and think they need to get a life and enjoy whats going on around them. Its videos like this that make you realise that no matter what is going on in the world, we can all come together and enjoy what is happening at that moment, its as if the world has come together, if only for a moment

      And so do I! And so do I!
      Some think it well to be all melancholic,
      To pine and sigh; to pine and sigh;
      But I, I love to spend my time in singing,
      Some joyous song, some joyous song,
      To set the air with music bravely ringing
      Is far from wrong! Is far from wrong!
      Harken, harken, music sounds a-far!
      Harken, harken, with a happy heart!

    I love the Italians ----- they have opera and music in their blood. When I was in Florence, I walked into a produce market and they were singing the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves from Verdi's opera "Nabucco". It was beautifully sung, superbly executed, and actually made a lot of the onlookers cry out of their love for Giuseppe Verdi, the composer. In America, all we hear is rap, crap, and filth. Culturally, we are the dunces of the Western World, sorry to say.
