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. Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:24:44 AM 1023 Views
I suppose I will be narcissistic and respond to my own survey. Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:29:44 AM 706 Views
Heh. I figured "Little People" would get your tears flowing. LiterateDog - 31/01/2010 06:43:06 AM 608 Views
Yes, but for entirely different reasons. I confess to heartless relief when the child died. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:49:31 AM 387 Views
Hehe, I was in Les Mis. I played that kid. Great Lord of Chaos - 31/01/2010 06:54:30 PM 669 Views
I think "because of" your role would be more accurate. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 07:42:43 PM 360 Views
You now sadden me. Great Lord of Chaos - 02/02/2010 01:46:24 AM 695 Views
I hate when I switch quoting styles that it deletes my already-typed title. LiterateDog - 31/01/2010 06:39:37 AM 709 Views
Probably my most frequent thought while on this site. Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 06:47:05 AM 681 Views

i agree with you, and it's not the style of music LadyLorraine - 31/01/2010 09:54:40 PM 529 Views
Piccolos are nasty. End of story. Their only function is that of ornamentation. *NM* Amys - 31/01/2010 10:34:33 PM 373 Views

How is it that you are picky about musicals?! Ghavrel - 31/01/2010 10:13:56 PM 711 Views
Because of the singing, I guess? ironclad - 31/01/2010 10:26:10 PM 700 Views

The best Phantom is what some guy did on Youtube... Legolas - 31/01/2010 11:25:50 PM 524 Views
Ugh. I heard about three clips from the movie and I will definitely not see it. Cockatiel of Doom - 01/02/2010 01:25:36 AM 713 Views

Most musicals are trite, saccharine drivel for uncultured tourists from the Midwest and South. Tom - 02/02/2010 05:38:41 PM 738 Views
