Catching up on the opera challenge. I figured illustrating everything with video would be overkill.
DAY 19
Facebook challenge: Favourite opera of all time
An Acquired Taste: Most powerful aria
DAY 20
Facebook challenge: Best duet
An Acquired Taste: The opera you listen to most
(Only true this year.)
DAY 21
Facebook challenge: Aria which perfectly exemplifies anger
An Acquired Taste: An opera you'd sell a kidney to see
Salome with Cheryl Barker in the title role. Luckily, I understand I won't need to pay nearly so dearly.
DAY 22
Facebook challenge: Famous operatic chorus
An Acquired Taste: Best opera to see with a friend
Surely that depends pretty heavily on the friend? But I guess most people would struggle to have a terrible time at Tosca. (And it's certainly the best opera to take my best friend to.)
DAY 23
Facebook challenge: An evil character you'd like to play
(Speaking of Tosca.)
An Acquired Taste: Best opera to see with a lover
Peter Grimes. No, really. As a test. I mean, if you don't fundamentally agree about Grimes (either positively or negatively) then maybe you need to reconsider the whole relationship. Or is that just me?
