Opera - Which Of These Famous Shows Have You Seen?

By Mark Walters

Did you wake up and decide that you would like to take in an opera in the next few weeks? Is that a task that you have never accomplished in your life and now you would like to? Well, then you will be completely amazed at just how fun it can be to decide which opera you want to see. When you begin your search you will be able to learn about all of the famous operas and what their storylines are all about. You will have a great time deciding what you want to see and what will fit your taste.

If you would like to take in an opera that was not seen as that great when it was first produced, but has since grown to be a very popular story then you might want to purchase tickets to see Carmen. This is a very interesting story of a gypsy woman and you may just find yourself completely amazed at how the story progresses. You will be able to see why it has become so popular once you have actually seen it.

There are thousands of people that see Madame Butterfly each year. That can be very hard to believe if you know that this opera was not really liked when it was first produced and it made its way to the stage. Now, however, it is the most watched opera in North America. Knowing that should make you a little bit curious, to say the least.

Books and the internet can be wonderful resources as you try to decide what you want to see, when and where. You can search any opera that you want and spend some time reading about it. You might be amazed to find out some of the history that is related to the different operas, the people that wrote them, and what the public once thought about them. However, you may also be very intrigued by many of the wonderful stories that actually exist within the operas that you are considering seeing.

Finally, when you see an opera for the first time you need to pay close attention to the actors and actresses that you are viewing. When you do this you will come to truly appreciate the opera that you are viewing. It is not easy work to learn the parts and to get on stage and entertain others. If you really know the story that goes along with the opera, as well as how it was created (as well as the language that it was created in) you will love the experience even more. - 42265
