I really enjoy how you present this material! I used this video to introduce my choir students to opera. I felt the same way you did regarding opera when I was younger. As a pianist, opera is an acquired taste for me.

You saved my life helping me really understand the opera and its development and reform. I couldn't wrap my head around the understanding of the timeline and the different forms of opera and the reasoning behind how Gluck really established the basis of how things started to really reform to the more commonly know works now done by mozart and such. Bless your soul

This is one of the best videos to learn opera history, I just have to say that Lorenzo da Ponte lived between 1749 and 1838, is really impossible that he was born in 1792 and worked with Mozart because Mozart died in 1791. Love your videos.

Compared to English, Italian and the other Romance language vowels are significantly easier. They are far more logical and consistent. There are only five vowel sounds and they correspond to the five vowel letters; a, e, i, o, and u. They are pronounced ah, ay, ee, oe (long o), and oo. There are some exceptions, but there are significantly few than in English.

Great video! A da capo aria just means an aria with two parts, where you repeat the first part after singing the second one. But you're right that singers would use these to impress the audience, because they would do the repetition with variations which were often improvised and virtuose. Also, the first operas didn't have dancers.

You might have updated this in a future video already, but the "spiel" in Singspiel means "play." It is a sing-play! Very good video, though, thank you. I just watched Phantom of the Opera and I'm suddenly really interested in opera stuff. This was a great video to kick me off! My friend loves Gilbert and Sullivan operas. Mikado is the only one of his recommendations I've watched and I found that very interesting but not quite deep-dive worthy. Thus we have Phantom, and now I'm in this carriage. :D

Hello there! I have a bit of a question here... Does the type of vocal range affect your chances of becoming an opera singer? I know the chances of someone or anyone becoming an opera singer... But, Im really curious. I do hope you can answer as quickly as possible -Greetings from Malaysia!- (Sorry for my horrible english 😓)
@rawr3122 7 жыл бұрын
Frankly yes, but do know your range may be not in full potential because your singing technique may not be in its fullest.

The amount of range you have is important, but that only becomes apparent with some vocal training. The specific range you sing in (higher or lower) affects which sorts of roles you'll likely sing.

I’m getting a doctorate in voice, and I’ve studied opera for years. Ive even been reviewing it for my general exams coming up soon. Everything you’re saying is very good, BUT... for your next video, please double check your pronunciation. Words like Gluck and buffa aren’t pronounced with American short [u]’s. They’re French and have a long [u] sound like boot. Glook and Boofa. I just thought it was a shame that all of your information was good, but your pronunciation was off. There were others as well. Just double check for your next video. You can use a phone translator. Good Job☺️
