One of the most gorgeous versions I've ever heard...I had a screener, so no credits were shown.
Also, the music from which opera is featured at the end? I don't know my operas as I should..any help appreciated.

The operatic aria heard at the end of the movie is 'O Mio Babbino Caro' (O My Beloved Daddy) from Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi". The first one was sung by Miriam Gauci and the second version (piano) was by Melinda Coffey. The actual version used in the actual Event that honored Valentino was by Maria Callas.

I've wondered about this version of The Party's Over for years--I even emailed the distributor with a screenshot of this thread to prove that people want to know. Never got a response, though. It's a much more melancholy rendition that I'd like to play while I clean up from throwing a party.
