If you want to check it out I recommend Nightwish Pantom of The Opera ( live end of an era) and Tarja Turunen O mio babbino caro ( live beauty and the beat) or her Ave Maria also stunning.

@jonathanthorn6615 5 жыл бұрын

I would have to politely disagree. #1 It is specifically an aria for a soprano (female) voice, so not exactly a staple song for opera singers around the world. #2 even just considering the sopranos in opera, the range, breath control, and clarity of pitch that must be done in order for it to sound even decent let alone perfect, is not something every soprano can do. However, it is one of my favorite pieces to listen to and thus I do think it's placement is incorrect.

@desertpair2 7 жыл бұрын

A musical is, basically, pop stuff, wherein the actors speak in normal voices for the most part, and then suddenly burst into song when you least expect it. Plus, they don't sing like opera singers, with their extended ranges. Opera is pretty much all music, with elite musical talent singing things that most people couldn't even consider singing. I mean, it's a whole different world!

They at least had a piano or organ and the big theaters even had house orchestras with full scores. If the studio didn't own the score (like the improvised ones used in small theaters) they used public domain music, especially classical, to avoid paying royalties.

Why is Phantom not an opera? Because its in English and not French, German, or Italian? I HATE Phantom, but it is an opera. Both opera and musical (musical theatre) have definitions, and Phantom is definitely not a musical.

His German accent was also horrible. But the fact that he didn't have this problem in his French pronunciation makes it unacceptable. Why put so much effort only on French but butcher all others? Especially Italian, that was just atrocious. It doesn't cost anything to look at the pronunciation before making the video.

Thank you for uploading a clip, listing many famous operas to a younger crowd. Really appreciate it. 😊 Amongst honourable mentions came the musical "Phantom of the Opera", in my opinion it is a musical with some opera characteristics but wouldn't sort it to opera. What I thought is at least mention worthy is Gounod's Faust. (My favorite song is "Le veau d'or est toujour debout" sung by Mephisto in baritone.) Cheers and keep it up! 😉

I am referring to both the entry AND comment. Carmina Burana is a work by Orff in & of itself. It requires a combination of chorus, soloists, dancers & of course, the music. However, it is NOT OPERA as we know it.I first performed this on a scholarship, with pro orchestra, soloists, conductor & ballet when I was only 16 years old. Long story. I do not wish to bore you with details of my own career. However I choose to lead a quiet life & not plaster my work all over internet. The Deutschgrammophon recording of this featuring Fischer-Dieskau Gundula Janowitz et. al. is extraordinary.

They put forth effort to talk about a beautiful art form and most of you just shit on them. Get off your high horses and let us all celebrate that someone tried. That's the important part.

Jacy G the person narrating, teaching about opera ought to be able to pronounce/talk about them. This isn’t rocket science. The Spanish or French teacher in your high school must know their stuff, so should someone narrating about opera. When the target audience knows more than the teacher, then the teacher isn’t very good.
