Hello, Hector Beerlioz here! Good friend Super Mario Batali told me it was wrong to start a thread with out saying hello first and I apologize. Sorry about that. I saw a banner ad and wanted to talk about classical music, so I went about it in a wrong way. Sorry! Please chat with me if you like classical music and opera! PMs always welcome!

welcome hector!

Hello, I appreciate your moderation in C4 with the basement, but by clicking on the banner ad I was excited to make a thread because it made me feel like I was welcome to do so and did not know the lurkers rule. If that's my fault that's my fault. I apologize and hope you can forgive me. Good friend Mario set me straight!




Thinking back, I kinda did know that rule and that thread was brought to you by a tremendous dickhead!

That's a very bold statement. Two very controversial composers.

Piso Mojado posted:

Wagner was one of the most awful people to live on this earth but he created arguably the greatest operas of all time. I find that moral quandary intriguing and relevant. can the beauty of the art outweigh the repusiveness of the artist? I don't know but it's an important question.

Stephen Fry made an entire documentary about this question.

what's the name of it?

Oh drat, it was a while back. It maybe have just been called Wagner. I'll look it up and get back 2 u.

What opera should I start with?

Go to your library and find on dvd Ingmar Bergman's production of Mozart' The Magic Flute.

If that fails Puccini's Madama Butterfly or Verdi's Rigoletto.

Is it in English

No good opera is in English. England was known in the 1800s as "the country without music".

Hector Beerlioz

aw, hec
Well, Dido and Aneas by Purcell is in English but that's probably a bit too baroque for most tastes

Hector Beerlioz

You tube has a movie style version of Rigoletto with famous fat man Pavarotti in it with English subtitles. Start here, my friend .

Piso Mojado posted:

the only thing worse than an opera in English is an opera in french imo

The Germans and Italians will agree with you.

Hector Beerlioz

aw, hec

Piso Mojado posted:

in all seriousness, go see an opera live, it's the only way to go. find out what's playing in your area and look up the stories. If it sounds like it has interesting plot/characters then go check it out.

opera is at its worse when the story is not enjoyable. like if you wouldnt go see a movie about it, then don't expect to like an opera with the same themes.

my first opera was the torn lover snoozer La buona figliuola and I loving hated it. but guess what I don't like romantic comedy film/books either. the music can be beautiful nonetheless, just isn't my thing.

Alternatively, the Met does Simulcasts of productions at movie theaters just like Rifftrax. I've been and they are great. Between acts you get a little behind the scenes thing with Renee Fleming.

Opera and Symphonies are great, friends. There is a reason this music is being played over and over for more than a century.

My 2 cents, ty for reading.

I heard those were pretty good too. I haven't seen one but I might check one out soon. thx for the reminder.

Very good, saw Lucia di Lammermoore and Norma the last times. Good times.

Piso Mojado posted:

lol like they could ever agree on something :rolleye:

Fun fact, there was an actual law for a while in France that an opera had to have a ballet instrumental portion, so there are arrangements of German and Italian composers other chamber works for orchestra by French composers so the operas could be performed. Notably Weber's Die Freischütz had his piano piece Invitation to the Dance jammmed into the middle of it so it could he staged.
