I need you to know how much this series is helping me finish my last incomplete class so I can graduate from music school haha! I have never been fond of opera or the traditions that is upholds today but I have definitely gained an appreciation for its larger collective story that propelled us forward musically. Thanks so much!
I too adore this series and share in the befuddlement as to the paucity of views. That said, I really think Berlioz deserves a mention, and not simply b/c he is a quintessential romantic. I am listening to Benvenuto Cellini (1838) and am hearing traces of bel canto and grand opera, to which I think perhaps Berlioz can be seen as a bridge. More, I find myself wondering had he dedicated himself to writing opera rather than turning them out once a decade, might he have been to French opera what Verdi and Wagner were to their respective nations?
@@johnandrews3924 Yes, it would be helpful also for those who doesn't understand very well English, but in general a so comprehensive material is useful, so if you do it, I would love to know about it. Thank you.

You're very welcome!
This is a wonderful series; many thanks.
Thank you!

Thanks Emily! I'm so glad.
I love this series of history of Opera, but could you please enable subtitles? It would be really helpful as English is not my 1st language. Thanks!
I'll try by best! It may struggle with the non-English terms but let's see
@@johnandrews3924 thank you so much!!

A fair point!
Great content, congrats!!
I saw that you are reading your text and I was wondering if it's possible to send these information in written form?
Hi Peter - I'm really sorry, I only had brief bullet points for most of it but perhaps I should write something!
