Quoting AEnigma III: Quoting femme_fatal: Quoting AEnigma III: I would love to see Le Traviata again (my favourite), but dont think I will make it to Ankara 
I adore opera! People seem to either love it or hate it, and I notice that most people who "hate it" invariably have never been to one! |
as usual you have to confirm your high culture  |
Offfffffff you heathen  Its not about being "cultured" - its just about enjoying something really wonderful |
The theatrical effects are nice, the sets are great, the costumes are fabulous...it's just the sopranos I can't stand.... To me it's like nails on a blackboard.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  ....I tried, I really did.

With the Turks amazing talent in music, I bet it must be brilliant. I went to see Carl Orf Carmina Braun (however you spell it !!!) and sat in the front row, right in front of the tenor - not a good idea, I could see right up his nose and the temptation to pull a funny face was overwhelming !!!! sit in the middles next time - a much better place.
I love the London west-end musicals, not opera I know but musical and theatrical nonetheless. Miss Saigon - awesome !

If you loved Miss Saigon you should see Madame Butterfly (Miss Saigon was based on it)

Do you go to the theatre also to see plays ? There was a play in London last year which I heard about on Steve Wright in the Afternoon on Radio 2. The play is with that lady from Cheers Rhea Pearlman (something like that)who plays the housekeeper to a very rich airline pilot who has nurmeous women on the go. Do you know the name of this - I am back in London in a few months time and would love a theatre trip and this one sounded hilarious.
You could pm me the details if you know them. Thanks in advance Aenigma.

Beverly Sills, Callas...? The sound is very unpleasant to me. Baritone, Tenor...nice, but Sopranos...no way...it hurts my ears and caused the hairs all over my body to stand up....I do not like it....in fact it's revolting to me.
It's a matter of taste my dear. I'm sure there are things I love that you hate. That's what makes things interesting, no?

Very true (dont call me "dear" I hate it )
I know that many people feel the same way about opera - you are not alone. It has a completely different affect on me - but as you say, horses for courses

It would be great and interesting to see a turkish opera play and to hear aloud turkish sound style all around.
Phantom of the opera one of my favorites.
