DU opera fans .. riddle me this.

There is a current TV commercial for Playstation "Black" that has a fantastic opera piece in the background. It sounds like Verdi to me, but I'd really like to I/D it. It is obscene in that it is used to sell a game that, basicially, is moving through a structure shooting things up with the equivalent of a 50-caliber machine gun (like the Hue scenes of Full Metal Jacket).

I am an oboist and bass violinist, and I know my classical music pretty well. This is a piece I want to get familiar with.

1. Thank you mods

I specifically posted this question in GD so that it might not sink in the Lounge.

2. Hey Demo

You are a man of surprising talents.

Why you do not ask this in the classical music group?
