Opera

[Cryranos]

I just wanted to show how opera can be fun! These are scenes from Jean Phillipe Rameau's Opera, Les Indes Galantes, led by William Christie. Just from this you can see that it has dancing Bison, Native Americans, and underwear models, as well as a pretty exited curtain call reminiscent of that of a Broadway Musical (I'd say the only difference is the language and the music is 300 years old).

Say what you think and if you happen to like opera as well you can post some scenes from your favorite opera/operetta (I suppose musicals count, too, since it developed from opera).

I don't think opera is supposed to be fun.
Well, at least I prefer it being epic or tragic.

In all honesty while I mock opera from time to time I've never actually heard any.
