Opera
I usually get Opera and Oprah mixed up- werid but I do. I can't believe I just said that.. anyway, watching alot of scences from Operas showed me how music really came to be entertainment and how different styles of singing appeared throughout the decades. I like the Baroque era best because it has alot of fun colors, and is really detailed with the props, bacgrounds, and scence settings. Some of it looks like things you would only see in dreams that have come to life and that really grabs my attention because the creativity and detail is so good its almost not real. I also liked how there was typically just one singer that everyone came to watch and admire instead of a whole cast where alot of things and people are going on. I found my attention to stay with that one singer and really pay attention to the song and message that was being said. I love the costumes- anything Marie Antoinette looking is really cool and I get a little mesmerized by it all. It reminds me of fantasy mixed with reality with elegance and money, having huge partys and only the best of everything. I think its a cool era and one that i enjoyed seeing.
