Opera

[tinhuvielartanis]

It's not bloody music. How can anyone think it's music? If I want to hear people screaming and wailing like they're having their bits twisted, I'd better damned well be watching some really good BDSM porn, where people are actually having their bits twisted and are enjoying every excruciating minute of it.

Opera and Country Music: wastes of auditory space. Just my not-so-humble opinion. *snort*

i'm biased- i grew up around opera, so perhaps that's why i like it so much. my big gripe about opera, amusingly enough, is how... simple the lyrics are. like you think it's going to be something as fancy as the singing and orchestration makes it sound, and then you read the libretto, and realize that 5 minutes of singing is something like "oh my candle's gone out it's dark" "your hand's so cold (hey she's cute i wonder if she likes me)"

i *do* have to be in the right mindset to listen to opera- it's certainly something where i find i have to sit down and give it my full attention- i can't just have it as background music while doing the dishes or something...

I'm glad someone likes it so I don't have to. If it comes in parts, you're more than welcome to my part. Freely, I give it to you!
