Opera

The first opera I ever saw was Utah Opera's performance of "Madame Butterfly" with my little sis. We loved it! Thanks to my sis's good grades, we got two tickets for another Utah Opera performance, Don Pasquale.

So, yeah. Feel free to discuss how much you love opera. Or hate opera. Or how you don't know that much about it, and therefore can't really say that you hate or love it. Any of the above will work.

Madame Butterfly <3333
That was the first opera I ever saw, still my favorite. Lol.

Barber of Seville is starting here in a few months so I'm getting tickets and going with my friends from choir and my grandma. :B

Yays! I never thought I'd find another opera dork around here.

Barber of Seville, eh? The Utah Opera performed The Marriage of Figaro not long ago. Sadly, I didn't get to see it. Oh well, you can't win them all.

I"ve never seen an actual opera.

I've really wanted to though.

along with Madame Butterfly I really want to see: The Ring of the Nibelung. its a 4 part (like it takes four days to watch).

IT has a prologue: then three main parts. (like LOTR). And this was the opera that originated the phrase: "It's not over till the fat lady sings."

I have sadly never actually seen an opera, but i wouldd kill to be able to.

Opera is a magnificent form of art. I was interested in Therion's songs and when I "dug" deeper in music, I saw that opera could well be considered to be one of the elements of the foundation of modern music today.

I have just taken my chances to see "Il Trovatore" and I must admit that it is really a must-see.

I've never seen an actual opera, but I just finished watching Phantom of the Opera, and I loved it

Amalthea · June 21st, 2009, 05:16 PM

Phantom is an absolutely amazing work. It must be seen by those who haven't seen it.

For a second, I thought the title said Oprah.
Anyway, the only opera I seen was the Phantom of the Opera. Nothing else, but I loved it. I might see others one...

Phantom of the Opera was a remarkable one, I must admit... Seemed flawless to me.
