This is just what I wanted, I’m 59, have appreciated most musical genres and recently developed an interest in opera. I can’t wait to learn and hear more. Thank you!

Try some of la Boheme, from Puccini! That is my favorite opera. Musetta's waltz is very good.

I have noticed that many opera companies are offerring education on their websites and before performances to help people understand Opera better. If I could ever find an online Opera Appreciation Course, I believe that others beside myself would pay for such a course.

Interesting video Mr. Reveles. I started listening and watching opera when I was fifteen yrs old. I’m 69 now. Needless to say I was hooked. My first opera was Carmen. I’ve graduated to more serious operas like Wagner and baroque opera. I love it all.

Mr. Reveles: Look at the Broadway musical "Phantom Of The Opera". It starts with a song from "Faust". Not only commercials and movies, but also stage works on occasion.

For the major barrier to opera is the fact the most in a foriegn language. I wish they would translate them into English and then I could tell was the heck is going on.

@nicreveles 5 жыл бұрын

Most opera companies in the US have supertitles now, translating everything in real time above the stage. No need to know a foreign language!

@einstu 5 жыл бұрын

The words are only one part of the experience. I find that once I understand the story, reading the translations are a distraction from the acting, the scenery, the music, the emotion

@clivegoodman16 4 жыл бұрын

I once saw a performance of Tarare with music by Salieri and words by Beaumarchais. Unfortunately, it was in French and there were no subtitles. I discovered that my knowledge of French was less than I thought. I found the experience very bewildering.

You will understand the plot of a good opers without understanding a single word

The music itself and the action onstage tells the story.
