Terrific voice, good-looking, too. Well, both of them, Anna and Beyoncé! Here's a list of some popular opera tunes for you: *Lakmé: Flower Duet (Dome épais) *Die Walküre (The Valkyrie): Ride of the Valkyries *La Forza del destino (The Force of Destiny) : Overture *Andre Chénier: La mamma morte *Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville): Overture *Il Barbiere di Siviglia: Largo al factotum *Lohengrin: Wedding March *La Wally: Ebben? ne andro lontana *Cosi fan tutte: Soave sia il vento *Legend of Tsar Saltan: Flight of the Bumble Bee *La Traviata: Libiamo ne lieti calici (Brindisi) By providing a list of popular opera tunes? Too highbrow for the pseudomusicians in this newsgroup? Sure, Tom...whatever you say. I've been an opera fan since the 7th Grade, when our choir club teacher took us to a performance of La Boheme at the Met. We've been to at least a half dozen major league opera performances in the last year. STOP. * I have this bizzare image of you on stage with one of those pointy Viking hats with the horns on the side, *hands clasped before you, belting out a "tune". Eisboch Wish it were so. These days, I can't carry a tune with a bucket. Back in junior high, though, before my voice changed from boy soprano to gravel, I could sing. A little. At that first opera, we had seats on the side of the house, probably the second balcony, and one of the female leads had absolutely spectacular cleavage. That hooked me. The same weekend, we got to see "West Side Story" on Broadway. I think the kids in the choir were charged about $20 for the whole trip, including trainfare. The school picked up the rest. That was in the days schools had a little money. Opera has fascinated me for a long, long time. Virtually every aspect of it is way, way, way over the top. BTW, if you want a real treat, listen to Anna Netrebko's "Violetta" CD. Violetta Valery, the woman who "strayed." Some of the most beautiful vocal music ever. -- Ha, ha, ha..... what a bunch of ****....perv.. I have to know if there is one person here reading these fantasies, who thinks wafa is "not" full of ****.. Go ahead, post up guys, who is falling for this crap...?? Anyone? Anyone at all??? I won't hold my breath...  |

Opera does absolutely nothing for me. However, I *can* understand your early introduction to it. My intro was the Boston Symphony Orchestra, probably at about the same age. The power of the orchestra blew me away and stuck in my head. Even today, once in a while, Mrs.E. and I get tickets and journey into Boston just to hear a beautifully played piece of music. But .... NOT opera! Eisboch |

The boy was playing the banjo using a "claw-hammer" style, and in reality the song dueling banjos is played on a different style banjo using finger picks. In other words, that boy is really not playing the guitar. Now you know the rest of the story. |

If you went to see the Magic Flute or La Boheme or any of several others, I bet you'd enjoy it. I didn't like ballet until I was about 30. Then I went to one here in DC and got hooked. Try these two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSX3HyWBqW0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4sONjSaHWA The latter has Netrebko when she was a young girl...the last few bars of her as a coloratura soprano are just incredible for such a young singer. She does an even better job of it now...her range and phrasing are just remarkable. -- Republicans - They Take Special Pride in their Ignorance. |
