Opera in a Nutshell #1

Every now and then, I'll share some opera wisdom to demistify what the whole thing is and what its really about. In a fun and quirky way, because that's how we do it at Opera With Pearls. 
“Well, basically there are two sorts of opera," said Nanny, who also had the true witch's ability to be confidently expert on the basis of no experience whatsoever. "There's your heavy opera, where basically people sing foreign and it goes like "Oh oh oh, I am dyin', oh I am dyin', oh oh oh, that's what I'm doin'", and there's your light opera, where they sing in foreign and it basically goes "Beer! Beer! Beer! Beer! I like to drink lots of beer!", although sometimes they drink champagne instead. That's basically all of opera, reely.” 
― Terry Pratchett, Maskerade

Even I could not have made it this simple and straightforward.

    About ChatdOpera

    I am passionate about opera and writing this blog is my way of sharing this love with you all. These are my thoughts, highly influenced by too many high note vibrations and good wine.
