I would just like to say that opera is no longer about fat people in breastplates shattering wine glasses.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
More and more, we're used to taking things in through the eyes rather than through the ears, and opera is more of a spectacle.
Opera is for a lifetime, not just a minute.
My worry is that opera will become an historic art form as opposed to a living, breathing thing.
It seems to me opera is just as relevant as an expressive art as anything else.
I'd hate this to get out but I really like opera.
Opera, next to Gothic architecture, is one of the strangest inventions of Western man. It could not have been foreseen by any logical process.
I feel like it's a real shame that my generation doesn't make an appearance at the opera.
But nevertheless, it's music ultimately that matters in opera, and opera is a piece of music reaching out as a vision in sound reaching out to the world.
Opera is really fun.
Opera is full of trappings that make us go away from being human. You can't let them do that. You can't walk like you're in an opera! You have to make it real. You have to just be there.
