Anybody over 45 remember...
"hk" wrote in message . .. It's not that opera stories were "bad," generally, though some certainly were. It's just that the story really isn't that significant a part of the work in most of them. In most opera, the libretto is just a theme, a beginning. It's the music, the singing, the show that is important. Even in Mozart's time, the libretto for Don Giovanni was...bizarre. But the work is one of the greatest ever written. Consider the libretto for one of the greatest American musicals, Oklahoma! Corny as Kansas, set in Oklahoma. Silliness. But...the music, the singing, the dancing, the visuals are incomparable. "Oklahoma" isn't an opera. Eisboch |
