Finally a video about the history of Opera with sound
All the other videos were just text on opera footage

[@rayfridley6649]

Many day opera houses have branched out into presenting musical theatre works. The Lyric Opera of Chicago has presented the works of Rodgers & Hammerstein, including Oklahoma!, Carrousel, and South Pacific, just to name a few. Julie Andrews assisted the Sydney Opera in presenting My Fair Lady.

I wish I could super like your video. When I searched “what is opera?” So many videos could not answer that question.
You answered that in a way that my novice but eager opera lover self could digest what opera is.
Thank you so much. Your page deserves more love and followers :)

[@grethinberotabui2400]

Hi Ms, I want to ask..
is there a relation between Operatic and Christianity?.
Thx🙏🏽

[@YesLets]

This is such a good question! There are many links between Opera and religion, and Christianity especially - biblical stories and figures have served as inspiration for many Operas. Religion has had an undeniable influence on the arts as a whole throughout history - I might need to make a whole new video for this topic! 😊⭐️
