[quote:Anonymous Coward 1539724:MV8xNjg4ODI2XzI3OTI1MTg0XzJGMEJFNDkz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 553712:MV8xNjg4ODI2XzI3OTE3NDEyX0ZDQzg4QTVG] The Magic Flute is the only opera that comes close to qualifying. The rest are on a level with soap operas or Nazi propaganda (Wagner). Ever read the plot of those things? And the singing style is overblown, and to my ears, ugly. Opera turned off generations of kids to singing. It's a left-over from an ugly, non-spiritual era and will die out presently. [/quote] You obviously haven't read the text of Parsifal (or the literary works it was based on). That is some esoteric and important ideas being discussed. Overall I agree, it's (opera) musical drama for the everyman/woman. [/quote]
