Opera - you like it?

[kennedia_nigricans]

I only like opera in languages i understand (which sorta reduces it to my 1st language as i don't know if there are any GOOD operas in english?).

I want to know what is going on (especially when i am listening to it for 3 hours).

Have you given up your first language Kennie?

By the way there are quite a few German opera to be had but i Guess now that you have relinquished your mother tongue and adopted English your taste for opera has been a casualty

I hate the sound of women singing opera, it sounds like a cat caught in a roller door. I don't mind the blokes singing and I like classical music.

No, i have not given up on my mother tongue it's just that hubby who is a native english  speaker can't comprehend german. I'ts too complicated. english is so simple that it appears to be made for toddlers. Not much grammar and no beauty whatsoever. i can understand that it must be VERY hard to learn a language that contains a mentionable amount of grammar.

I only listen to german opera. there is mozart and he is so entertaining.

pimpy, you have not heard the right pieces.

i am sorry to inform you that i can't think of anything you would like as you  would need to understand the lyrics and i don't think there is anything good in english as they have have no soul therefore there are no english operas worth listening to.

Meine Liebe Frau, perhaps you might be receptive to expanding your vistas embrace the culture of other languages 🙂
