Must-See Operas

By Mark Walters

Making the decision to go to the opera can be a very exciting decision. Part of the fun can happen at home as you take the time to consider all of the famous operas that are out there and you try to determine which one you want to see. This article may be able to help you with that because it will briefly mention some of the most famous operas. Then, if you want more information you can log onto the internet, or open a book, and research some of the famous titles that are out there. You will be amazed at how much you will learn about the opera if you do this.

Carmen may be the way to go if you are searching for a famous opera that many people have heard of. It follows a gypsy girl and it is thought to be very powerful and moving for the people that have seen it. You might be interested in something such as this if it is playing in your area. Then again, you might want to read the entire story before you make any final decisions.

Madame Butterfly is another opera that many people can state that they have heard of. It is the opera that is performed the most throughout North America. So, if you are really looking for an opera to see that you will be able to discuss later on with others that enjoy this art, this may be the way to go. However, keep in mind that you might be very shocked when all is said and done because this is an opera, just like Carmen, that was not really enjoyed when it was first created.

There are so many different operas out there that you could spend hours researching the perfect one for you and your family to see. The opera can be difficult for some individuals to truly understand. Therefore, taking the time to learn as much as possible about the opera you are considering seeing will help you follow it once you reach the theater. Also consider the fact that if you take the time to see an opera that is relatively famous, you will have a much easier time finding information on that opera.

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. - 40727
