Opera Virgin

[bookgirlwa]

I’m going to see a performance of “The Magic Flute” on Saturday. This will be the first opera I’ve ever seen - I’m more of a musical theatre buff. I don’t know anything about “The Magic Flute”, except that it was written by Mozart, so I think I will do some reading up on it. I haven’t been up to theatre or movie-going in the last few months,

Cool! The only Mozart opera I'm familiar with is The Marriage of Figaro - I don't know much about the Magic Flute except that it includes that famously difficult aria by the Queen of the Night. Let us know how it goes.

That aria is the one that makes me wish I could sing.

Colour me jealous :)

Lovely music, but it turns out to be Masonic-misogyny (and let's not forget classism and racism) central after a promising start, alas. What did you think of it? *just added you and am now skimming your LJ after reading a comment on vassilissa*
