Why do people like classical music and opera? That's what a lot of people ask, maybe because they know nothing about Music with a capital M. The flow of sounds, the harmony, the emotions... Regular pop music cannot come close to that not by a freggin mile... Not that it's not enjoyable... I enjoy pop and rock too, but it doesn't give me what I feel when I listen to opera and classical music in general. It took me years to realize it.
Puccini makes me vibe the most. When I hear the music of Liu's death in Turandot, tears flow... Madama Butterfly, I just cry the whole thing. lol.
Anyways, to whoever has an old-fashioned and weird idea about opera, watch this video.
Anna Netrebko, the new face of Opera. She's young, beautiful and powerful. In this video, she sings outside in front of 10000 people in Berlin and in the middle of the song she gets away from her mic and her voice still projects!!! Amazing... She's just amazing... The orchestra is conducted by the great Marco Armiliato, whom I absolutely love... Oh and if you could see the whole DVD, you'd see the legend Placido Domingo, still singing at the age of 67 years old and more powerful than any of those cereal box singers that need 10 mics to be heard in a 10 meter2 room.
