Re: Short survey. On musicals. And what the hell, why not opera too. Tashmere Send a noteboard - 31/01/2010 08:25:21 PM
1. Do you like musicals? Why (not)?

2. Do you like opera? Why (not)?

3. What's your favorite musical?

4. What elevates it above the rest?

5. What's your favorite opera?

6. What elevates it above the rest?

BONUS POINTS: Do you or have you ever teared up while watching Les Misérables? If not, how does it feel to lack a soul?


1. I love them if they are good. There have to be at least some memorable songs. Obviously the more the better. I have little patience with mediocre music.

2. I am okay with listening to male opera singers but there are few sopranos that I can listen to. I am trying to change that and broaden my musical tastes. It is a glacial process but it is happening.

3.Fiddler on the Roof hands down!

4.The quality of the music, film and story. It has such a profound message! I am not sure that most people catch what that message is. Or at least that they caught what I see as the main message. I suppose it is debatable.

5. I don't have a favorite opera but there are several songs that I enjoy from different ones. I am pretty picky as I have already said. I'm not saying that I am right in my pickiness. As I became more familiar with classical music my ability to enjoy a wider variety increased. I assume the same will happen with opera. I don't know if that will ever happen with reggae.

6. The songs that I enjoy are just ones that make me feel. I don't know what they are singing about but my heart still reaches out for it.

Bonus Points. I have the sound track for Les Miserables but haven't actually seen it yet. I have enjoyed the soundtrack.

Short survey. On musicals. And what the hell, why not opera too. - 31/01/2010 06:24:44 AM 1066 Views
I suppose I will be narcissistic and respond to my own survey. - 31/01/2010 06:29:44 AM 752 Views
Heh. I figured "Little People" would get your tears flowing. - 31/01/2010 06:43:06 AM 654 Views
Yes, but for entirely different reasons. I confess to heartless relief when the child died. *NM* - 31/01/2010 06:49:31 AM 406 Views
Hehe, I was in Les Mis. I played that kid. - 31/01/2010 06:54:30 PM 715 Views
I think "because of" your role would be more accurate. *NM* - 31/01/2010 07:42:43 PM 379 Views

I hate when I switch quoting styles that it deletes my already-typed title. - 31/01/2010 06:39:37 AM 750 Views

How is it that you are picky about musicals?! - 31/01/2010 10:13:56 PM 756 Views
Because of the singing, I guess? - 31/01/2010 10:26:10 PM 747 Views

see, my favorite Phantom is actually the movie (with Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler) - 31/01/2010 10:57:40 PM 722 Views
The best Phantom is what some guy did on Youtube... - 31/01/2010 11:25:50 PM 571 Views
Ugh. I heard about three clips from the movie and I will definitely not see it. - 01/02/2010 01:25:36 AM 752 Views

I was hoping you'd pick Grease 2 as your favorite musical. *NM* - 01/02/2010 04:39:03 PM 365 Views
Well I was only counting musicals I've seen on stage. - 01/02/2010 04:46:05 PM 740 Views
