This time, I got the one that's printed with the poster for Puccini's Turandot. I've not seen that one yet, but it contains one of the best-known tenor arias in all the world of opera, Nessun Dorma. Probably most people would recognize the melody if they heard it.
Having bought the tin, and listened once again to its ever-famous aria, I of course felt compelled to look up the plot, and lo and behold, I have discovered an opera that ends happily. I was astonished.
Here's the tin. A rather lugubrious-looking face, what? I enjoy it.
