The Opera
Today in class we learned about Opera. I never knew much about Opera. I have never gone to see one nor do I have an interest in listening to it. I always thought it was very dramatic and tragic performances with loud singing. However, I thought it was really interesting learning how only little boys used to be in choirs because of their higher voices. Also what shocked me was how opera can be comedic and it can be sung in any language, not just Italian. It was amazing to see a video of an Opera but sung in English. I have never seen that before.
What I also enjoyed from this class was learning how everything started relating to the Opera.
It makes me realize great things take time. Also the greatest things may not catch on quickly with society.
Opera is a great form of art and I enjoyed learning about it.
