damn youre good! thanks. Ive never seen an opera, but i’d like to. What do you recommend for a 1st one? Have you seen Madama Butterfly or La Traviata?
I’m a big opera fan :oops: .. my lunatic Mother practically raised me on the stuff (together with Frank Sinatra – no I don’t mean she raised me WITH Sinatra literally, though methinks she may have liked that just a tad.. but, oh you know what I mean :? )…
Anyway, opera, yes.. well, for beginners as it were something like Bizet’s Carmen is a good place to start. Though set in Spain, it’s actually written in French. It has quite a few catchy numbers as such (including an instantly recognisable overture) and a plot that’s not too convoluted!
Give it a bash :P
Who knows? :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0HaDXu4M0UI do, but only because its familiar, just as mesen dora or whatever its called , I like that, but i dont have a clue what they are saying so I cant personally see the attraction of sitting through the whole thing not knowing what they are going on about lol!
I’m not a huge opera fan though i do like classical music.
I like to listen to the classical music i just cant get the weird voices and foreign words of opera.Tis all double dutch or/ spanish / or italian or whatever lolBut Sinatra i was force fed cos my Grandad played double bass for him quite a few times in his early days.
One of my fave operas is La bohème.
I had the great fortune of seeing this in Verona’s Roman Amphitheatre in the summer of 2005.
A night I shall never forget
.Anyroad, one of the most famous and most beautiful aria duets can be witnessed here.. O Soave Fanciulla

You can’t discuss opera without this peice of music, and i defy anyone not to have a tear in their eye after listening to it.
