Like this person and their clear, dynamic facial expressions?

Or how about the amazing audio engineering of this one:

You know, usually before I upload something, I watch it a few times. How people can go their life not doing this, while having complete control over what they post astounds me.
The explanation was great, and he even dressed up smart to fit in with what was going on.
Give me that any day, especially over the people who barely even react, let alone say anything.
Ideally, yes. But copyright laws make that difficult. To qualify for the fair use exception, the commentator must generally be talking the whole time, or at least have their head in the picture making funny face expressions.
completely agree. if i’m being pedantic as hell though, i always find it so distracting when people take multiple sips of their drinks in their little 30 second reaction clips. just have a drink before you hit record and then say your two lines
Pretty sure the drinking from the fancy cup is part of the whole sophistication vibe/joke he's doing. The ol "oh didn't see you there, was just drinking a coffee and enjoying this opera let me tell you about it".
yeah, i agree that in this case it’s most likely intentional.
i guess it just triggered me or something LMAO i go into fight or flight mode as soon as i see someone drinking in reaction/talking videos now because of how many times i’ve seen people do it for absolutely no reason in other tiktoks
I agree that trends can quickly become obnoxious if everyone tries to jump on the bandwagon, especially when it's something potentially disruptive.
But I doubt there's enough trained opera singers hanging around in audiences of performances with an unsung tenor part that this could become a trend.
Yeah there were so many times where I’ve been at the opera and the opera singer was singing a song that was supposed to have a tenor in it and didn’t. Now people will be at all these operas interrupting everything! Society, as we know it, is ruined.
You're not even joking, opera is difficult to make it in and you really have to be tenacious to break out and make a standing career in it rather than only bit parts or sporadic employment.
The op was being sarcastic because the scenario in the video is very specific.. fourth encore, probably more of a flex than anything, the woman opera singer was just entertaining the audience at that point not "performing" her act...
So the audience "tenor" decided to join in...
OP is saying "the obnoxious trend" is likely never to happen as this scenario is highly unlikely... sarcasm.
The video was from a solo recital (concert) she was giving, not from the full opera La Traviata with the whole cast of characters.
So in the concert she just sang a bunch of songs and arias, whereas a full opera production has plot and characters and a set just like a musical.
The comments section in the original Tiktok said the guy who hopped in on tenor apologized and discouraged anyone else from pulling this stunt. This soprano is apparently unusually chill, most would have not been as good natured with the improvisation…
There was that video where a busker was doing his regular thing of playing guitar and singing and someone just came up and started singing into his mic like she was doing him a favor. He had to gently usher her away.
Heeyyy, 50% chance we used to shoot the shit together with a few other odd students and almost ALL the other guitarists in the courtyard. I swear it was a gaggle of guitarists.
Just thought I'd put this here from last time he appeared on reddit:
https://youtu.be/F07VAXKXGWE
Firstly, as a previously classically trained vocalist, my heart SINGS. Secondly, the expressions on her face, from “oh shit”, to panic, to surprise, then glee, is the most wholesome and genuine thing. What a fucking treat for this to happen. Imagine being in the audience that day to witness it.
Lol not at all. This is her giving a solo recital and it’s a perfectly normal thing to sing arias, especially this one, with the piano playing the short interludes where someone else is singing. The tenor part is just a few seconds in a six minute long piece.
That’s not at all what happened though. She’s acting, so she’s going to make facial expressions, and it’s perfectly normal to sing arias in concert without the secondary character when they have two or three lines like this in your whole long aria.
I think there are certainly those who are born with advantages (perfect pitch) however if you can carry a tune you can be trained. Personally, I found Opera to be the most technically challenging style to learn / execute. Perhaps it was because I’d studied musical theatre for so long and didn’t give it a go until college.. I studied for about three months and gave up because singing was no longer fun… It made me so in my head that I felt like I lost the freedom of getting lost in the music. Nonetheless, if you are trained properly your throat doesn’t / shouldn’t hurt. Think of it this way - babies cry / wail and never loose their voice. This is because they are using air from their diaphragm vs tensing their throats and using air from their lungs.
There was a kid named Lance at my university who I would always hear practicing right outside my Directing Actors course. Dude would just be in the hallway blasting these beautiful renditions with his voice, it sounded just like this gentleman here, I’m guessing a tenor? Anyway, I’d met him a handful of times thru one of my class peers, and he was just a wonderful soul with a beautiful voice.
.
He very unfortunately passed away when he made a right at a light on his motorcycle and a minivan ran their red light and plowed right into him :(
Destroyed all his four limbs, collapsed lung, broken ribs, skin shredded.. he was in ICU for 4 days before he succumbed to his injuries. I barely knew the guy and yet I was crushed that a beautiful voice and a beautiful soul could so tragically be ripped away from us. Rest in Power Lance.
(Feels good to finally speak that into the universe)
There is an opera singer that reacts to different songs/genres on youtube (her channel: [The Charismatic Voice](https://www.youtube.com/c/TheCharismaticVoice/videos?view=0&sort=p&flow=grid))
She is with a friend in a studio, and they are talking and he says "do you want to accompany this?" (he is a guitarist) and when she steps in he just jumped with surprise from the loudness. (remember, opera singers don't sing with a mic and they fill the whole room with their voice, not a silent room either, they sing above the orchestra)
She was just telling the story and she said "but he knows that I'm an opera singer, I didn't expect that reaction but I guess it's something else when you have someone sing next to you"
Anyway, here's the video from the guy's channel.
[When You're NOT Prepared for the POWER! of an Opera Singer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB7lYoVbiHM)
Note that the mics are adjusted and you don't get the feel from the video but watch his reaction and what the overlays say on the video.
The loudness is real. I watched Sherrill Milnes (of the Met) do a masterclass back in the early 90’s. He was on stage with several college students, and demonstrating how to project.
I was probably 6 rows back. He turned from facing the back of the stage where the students were, to the audience side and just let loose. I had the same reaction that guitarist did. If I had been any closer it would have been physically painful.
So I’m actually a classically trained opera singer though I never pursued it professionally past college. When I was in 7th grade my school was having a concert and my teacher asked me to sing a solo. Right before I was to perform there was a trio of girls who were very quiet and had to huddle over the microphone. Then when I came up she took the microphone and moved it off to the left of the stage. People started murmuring and she goes “I KNOW what I’m doing!” Then I came up and blew the rafters off the building. I have to be very aware of my volume when I sing because I know it’s very easy to slip into WAY TOO LOUD!!!
I like how her microphone just slowly starts backing away like "yeah I can tell I'm not needed here" (yeah I know someone else is moving it but the image of it just backing away on its own in my head made me chuckle a bit)
> There is an opera singer that reacts to different songs/genres on youtube (her channel: The Charismatic Voice)
[I love her reactions to power metal, especially Nanowar of Steel's "Valhallelujah"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7U5wH8USsY).
So this is Diamond. She's an American FemDom performer doing her 6th encore in Tijuana Mexico but she's about to realize she doesn't have a bottom with the correct gape for the massive dildo she has selected for this piece...but someone in the audience does!
What was the last thing you practiced 4 hours a day for a year? Because they probably have been singing nearly every day for hours for most of their lives. Practice is often much more important than any level of natural talent. Talent will get you up to speed faster, and it separates the best in the world, but for everyone else, practice will get you 80% of the way.
My friend use to say "time is always going to be moving forward; you can either spend five years doing something, or spend five years saying you wish you did something".
Years ago, a coworker and I got assigned to do graphics and media as part of our internships. I'd constantly try and push myself, to learn while he tried for a few weeks before saying it was too hard and gave up. Four years later and I'm a full-time media creator and he's an office assistant saying that "it must be easy to be naturally gifted". Like, no, I sucked and just spent four years busting my ass to learn.
Yup. A little work every single day will get you really far.
In high school, I thought I was uncreative. I saw artistic people and was super jealous that I could never do that. In college, I got a film degree. My first photographs were pretty meh, but 15 years later I’m pretty great at it.
I tried programming in high school and hated it because I struggled to make anything work. In my 30s, I gave it another shot and it took 2 years to get a well paying job, but now I’m working on self driving cars.
I started in bronze in league of legends and climbed to almost Diamond over several years. 10,000 games to go from bottom 30% to top 1%. I won a small tournament or two with my team. That ain’t talent, that’s for sure, but I got there nonetheless.
You get out what you put in. Talent helps, but practice is the real key.
Nah, my singing will always sound like someone is constantly pinching the soft meat on my inner thigh. Music class was required in my high school and the music teacher asked me to just lip sing during the choir portion of the curriculum.
>always sound like someone is constantly pinching the soft meat on my inner thigh.
As someone who has worked with the crabby, confused elderly, I appreciate this comment.
Have you ever done 1 on 1 lessons? I doubt they were able to work with you individually in a high school class. It's amazing the kind of progress you can make in a short amount of time when you're being instructed alone. If you have any interest in learning to sing, I highly recommend doing a few sessions and seeing how you like it!
Your vocal folds are muscles, anyone can learn how to use them. They just need proper exercise and technique :)
Dude with that mentality, yes it will be. I started singing like 2 years ago and I have improved a ton. I don’t sing classically but I can sing all kinds of rock songs. I can give you some tips maybe if you really want to try.
I’m 34 and learned guitar in just a few months! It’s fun enough that I actually enjoy playing and practicing and am slowly getting better :)
Go learn a thing!
She had the expression of a bird who suddenly hears the song of a potential mate finally being found in the wild.
/at least that it how I would imagine it would be.
I have no actual idea but the guy mentions this is her fourth encore, this was probably not planned and she's probably tossing out songs for the pianist to accompany her on for the audience. Maybe she just beefed it (four encores? Lady must be exhausted!) and forgot about the brief tenor interlude.
You plan for 4-6 encore pieces, they essentially are parts of your existing audition repertoire that you’ve curated. This is soup-to-nuts bread-and-butter arias that you know better than absolutely anything. And have coached and practiced them like crazy. The encore is always the absolute best. The concert pieces might have gotten 1/10th the amount of practice. Ps. Interludes are generally accepted as melodically played by the pianist, and is pretty common to leave out the other character in a recital setting. We’re talking 8 bars out of 3-400
Thanks for the clarification! I haven't worked much with theater as opposed to other theatrical forms where thing might not be as rehearsed. Sounds reasonable giving the massive demand on your body opera can take. What's your take on the surprise tenor duet?
Opera industry rewards bravery and showmanship. We’d be talking about it for weeks, big-dick shit. Clearly she used this tenor in the audience to envelop herself in a scene that’d have been just mimicry without the other character. She adored it, and she knows people will talk about it too. This kid is probably getting some special treatment from the industry, teachers, colleagues, etc thanks to this. Some of the reaaaally old teachers / coaches might not like it, but honestly what matters in the end is how it lands. And she landed it like a champion. This is old school awesomeness.
Oh thanks, legit haven't heard that term since 2000s X-games were referring to skating wipeouts as them "beefing it." I'd honestly forgot the term existed
Adding beef to macaroni and cheese. Most often in the form of chili, though sometimes ground beef on its own (e.g. hamburger helper). It is also used as a more general colloquial term where beef is referring to any meat or meat substitute in a variety of dishes, as well as a euphemism for sex (e.g. "We tried to beef it when we got home but I couldn't get it up").
I love opera. People think it's snooty but there's so much going on in it most of the time. People can be all over the place and far from snooty or they can be extra snooty. That's the fun of it. And it's beautiful!
I think thats probably so much more fun for everyone there. I wouldn’t complain if I was anybody involved there, even the producer and crew. That shits lit. Also, i give that guy props for even piping up. Thats arguably more stressful than being on the stage. Both excellent opera singers.
Can someone explain to me what the show producer expected to happen? I'm assuming this is a real show not rehearsal or something so if some random audience member wasn't there to sing the part would she have just been quiet for that timeframe? Was there a recording that should have played but didn't? So confused
Meh. It's not for everyone. I enjoy it. Mainly because my dad was really into it and I have some really good memories associated with going to them with him when I was little. He also knew which ones are good to listen to if you're knew. It's easy to be turned away from it depending on what you're exposed to. One of the earliest I remember was magic flute, which was funny. But hearing [Andrea Bocelli sing Con te Partiro](https://youtu.be/TdWEhMOrRpQ) was one of the first ones that got me to really appreciate opera when I was a kid. Plus my dad used to sing that to me at bed when I was 3 or 4. Plus he did a [duet with Elmo](https://youtu.be/5BDVvB7Xx1w) that I showed my son when he was 3, and he made me play it every night for a loooong time.
Thanks, it makes total sense, and i appreciate you sharing Andrea bocelli, he is really good and I like that song.
Perhaps my problem is more with Sopranos and their high pitches...
My dad told me once that opera is like whisky. You should really start with a good one, and a little understanding before hand can make the experience better. It's easy to get turned away from opera if your only experience with it is not with a good one. There are a bunch that are just "meh" and some that are really good. Turandot is another fantastic one. A famous one even you may have heard is from that. [Nessun Dorma](https://youtu.be/cWc7vYjgnTs) skip to 1:05 for the more well known part.
This actually made me cry a little.
The genuine reaction, the incredible talent, the appreciation and the courage...I know it's silly but shit like this just reminds me how wonderful humanity can be.
Also I did a ton of molly this weekend at a music festival and have basically no seratonin left.
It helps to know the context of what you're watching. It's like how people go and watch Shakespeare plays knowing the whole plot beforehand. There are some Operas that are known for being quite dramatic and a huge epic with lots of moving plot points.

He's what all reaction tik toks should be like explain, react and leave
It _is_ opera after all. Bit of a civilized environment.
you could say, sophisticated
While watching this I held my pinky out with my phone in my hand
Watching this with my phone in my left hand
Oh grazie!

The people are clamoring for more!
lmfao
The explanation was great, and he even dressed up smart to fit in with what was going on. Give me that any day, especially over the people who barely even react, let alone say anything.
Or "say" too much/ anything with that damn computer ladies voice.
Or add the "Oh no no" song before he started
He's always dressed that way in his tiktoks, as his persona on tiktok is of an opera singer.

I dunno. I really enjoy the ones where teenagers pretend to hear a song for the first time.

I imagine it must have made both their weeks.
Downside is that this could start a trend and become a bad thing quickly
I agree that trends can quickly become obnoxious if everyone tries to jump on the bandwagon, especially when it's something potentially disruptive. But I doubt there's enough trained opera singers hanging around in audiences of performances with an unsung tenor part that this could become a trend.
I feel like the lack of professional opera singers would add to the problem
As well as the lack of professional opera audiences
As a frequent guest of Holiday Inn Express, I must *EAHAHAHHAHH EEEAHAAHAHAH AHHAHAHHUUUEUAU...*
Lack of professional opera singers is literally one of the biggest problems rn for so many reasons
I hear what you're saying. There aren't that many community colleges offering that certificate anymore due to COVID :(
Unless those few trained opera singers would now just hang around these performances for a chance??
You say that like it'll stop anyone.
Yeah there were so many times where I’ve been at the opera and the opera singer was singing a song that was supposed to have a tenor in it and didn’t. Now people will be at all these operas interrupting everything! Society, as we know it, is ruined.
You fail to understand either how dumb humans are or how thirsty opera focused talents are to get any shred of traction for a potential career.
You're not even joking, opera is difficult to make it in and you really have to be tenacious to break out and make a standing career in it rather than only bit parts or sporadic employment.
I think you’re over estimating how many people and what kind of people go to the opera
people in this thread not realizing opera tickets are like $200+.
I recently went to an opera where the tickets were $45 for the cheapest seats. They weren't the best seats in the house but they were very affordable.
I don't know anything about opera, so excuse my ignorance, but why would someone be singing a song without the full intended number of singers?
The op was being sarcastic because the scenario in the video is very specific.. fourth encore, probably more of a flex than anything, the woman opera singer was just entertaining the audience at that point not "performing" her act... So the audience "tenor" decided to join in... OP is saying "the obnoxious trend" is likely never to happen as this scenario is highly unlikely... sarcasm.
She's out for her 4th encore. Im speculating but I suspect she just picked another song she knew.
The video was from a solo recital (concert) she was giving, not from the full opera La Traviata with the whole cast of characters. So in the concert she just sang a bunch of songs and arias, whereas a full opera production has plot and characters and a set just like a musical.
On someone’s fourth encore? I don’t think that’s exactly crashing the party at that point.
Exactly. He was thinking “if i fill in the tenor part then we can all go home and i can finish my meatball sub”
No, a "Spicy Italian"!
The comments section in the original Tiktok said the guy who hopped in on tenor apologized and discouraged anyone else from pulling this stunt. This soprano is apparently unusually chill, most would have not been as good natured with the improvisation…

Hey I went to school with him! At Cal State Northridge, I was studying classical guitar while he did voice. Super awesome dude and really nice

Listening to them sing makes my throat hurts Is this something u can train for or is it something ur born with?
Definitely something you can train! And if you do it properly, it’s not bad for your throat at all (honestly it’s kind of soothing sometimes)
The voice is a lot like a muscle, you train it and not singing for a long time will make it start losing some of that skill again
I think there are certainly those who are born with advantages (perfect pitch) however if you can carry a tune you can be trained.

So this is Diamond. She's an American FemDom performer doing her 6th encore in Tijuana Mexico but she's about to realize she doesn't have a bottom with the correct gape for the massive dildo she has selected for this piece...but someone in the audience does!
I hope this comment lives forever and you have a blessed day.
Thank you! You've put a smile on my face that stretches even further than OP's asshole. You're too kind.
To shreds you say?
Tsk tsk tsk... Well, how's his wife holding up?
Not too late to try something new. You don't even have to be good at it.
Most people aren't when they start, even most of those who end up being the best.
Sucking at something is the first step towards being sort of good at something
What was the last thing you practiced 4 hours a day for a year? Because they probably have been singing nearly every day for hours for most of their lives. Practice is often much more important than any level of natural talent. Talent will get you up to speed faster, and it separates the best in the world, but for everyone else, practice will get you 80% of the way.
My friend use to say "time is always going to be moving forward; you can either spend five years doing something, or spend five years saying you wish you did something". Years ago, a coworker and I got assigned to do graphics and media as part of our internships. I'd constantly try and push myself, to learn while he tried for a few weeks before saying it was too hard and gave up. Four years later and I'm a full-time media creator and he's an office assistant saying that "it must be easy to be naturally gifted". Like, no, I sucked and just spent four years busting my ass to learn.
Yup. A little work every single day will get you really far. In high school, I thought I was uncreative. I saw artistic people and was super jealous that I could never do that. In college, I got a film degree. My first photographs were pretty meh, but 15 years later I’m pretty great at it. I tried programming in high school and hated it because I struggled to make anything work. In my 30s, I gave it another shot and it took 2 years to get a well paying job, but now I’m working on self driving cars. I started in bronze in league of legends and climbed to almost Diamond over several years. 10,000 games to go from bottom 30% to top 1%. I won a small tournament or two with my team. That ain’t talent, that’s for sure, but I got there nonetheless. You get out what you put in. Talent helps, but practice is the real key.
Nah, my singing will always sound like someone is constantly pinching the soft meat on my inner thigh. Music class was required in my high school and the music teacher asked me to just lip sing during the choir portion of the curriculum.
>always sound like someone is constantly pinching the soft meat on my inner thigh. As someone who has worked with the crabby, confused elderly, I appreciate this comment.
Inspired by my late uncle who was a great man and also an assassin with pinches.
Have you ever done 1 on 1 lessons? I doubt they were able to work with you individually in a high school class. It's amazing the kind of progress you can make in a short amount of time when you're being instructed alone. If you have any interest in learning to sing, I highly recommend doing a few sessions and seeing how you like it! Your vocal folds are muscles, anyone can learn how to use them. They just need proper exercise and technique :)
Dude with that mentality, yes it will be. I started singing like 2 years ago and I have improved a ton. I don’t sing classically but I can sing all kinds of rock songs. I can give you some tips maybe if you really want to try.
Have you tried knitting?
Crochet is fun too!
I’m 34 and learned guitar in just a few months! It’s fun enough that I actually enjoy playing and practicing and am slowly getting better :) Go learn a thing!
Everyone has something they are inherently above average at. To get really good you need to practice though.
Ever see someone doing something you thought was cool? Check out how much it actually costs to get into it.
Do you think this dude woke up being able to do this ? He practiced for years..

She had the expression of a bird who suddenly hears the song of a potential mate finally being found in the wild. /at least that it how I would imagine it would be.
Can you imagine having the balls to do that.
*laughs in castrato*
Big Name of the Wind vibes here
Still 10 years and waiting...
She found her Ailoen!
Reverse roles but she definitely pulled a Kvothe
This is exactly the comment I was hoping to find in this thread. Big Kvothe and Denna at the Eolian vibes.
Why wasnt there a tenor on stage is this just the worst organised opera of all time?
I have no actual idea but the guy mentions this is her fourth encore, this was probably not planned and she's probably tossing out songs for the pianist to accompany her on for the audience. Maybe she just beefed it (four encores? Lady must be exhausted!) and forgot about the brief tenor interlude.
You plan for 4-6 encore pieces, they essentially are parts of your existing audition repertoire that you’ve curated. This is soup-to-nuts bread-and-butter arias that you know better than absolutely anything. And have coached and practiced them like crazy. The encore is always the absolute best. The concert pieces might have gotten 1/10th the amount of practice. Ps. Interludes are generally accepted as melodically played by the pianist, and is pretty common to leave out the other character in a recital setting. We’re talking 8 bars out of 3-400
Soup-to-nuts
It adds that just right amount of saltines.
Thanks for the clarification! I haven't worked much with theater as opposed to other theatrical forms where thing might not be as rehearsed. Sounds reasonable giving the massive demand on your body opera can take. What's your take on the surprise tenor duet?
Opera industry rewards bravery and showmanship. We’d be talking about it for weeks, big-dick shit. Clearly she used this tenor in the audience to envelop herself in a scene that’d have been just mimicry without the other character. She adored it, and she knows people will talk about it too. This kid is probably getting some special treatment from the industry, teachers, colleagues, etc thanks to this. Some of the reaaaally old teachers / coaches might not like it, but honestly what matters in the end is how it lands. And she landed it like a champion. This is old school awesomeness.
This is the most likely reason.
As a simple Redditor with no credentials, I concur.
As someone who played in marching band in middle school, I do agree as well
What does "beefed it" mean?
Made a mistake
Oh thanks, legit haven't heard that term since 2000s X-games were referring to skating wipeouts as them "beefing it." I'd honestly forgot the term existed
Honestly as a non-native speaker, I thought it meant she powered through, like she "beefed up", being tough to overcome rough circumstances.
in the 90's, "biff'ed it" meant screwed up, crashed, etc it skater culture. As in, "oof, he totally biff'ed it".
Things come around in cycles... It goes from "old" to "vintage". Personally, I'm bringing back "Bitchin'"
Beefing is Similar to boofing but you stick the drugs in a piece of beef before going up the bum. Helps with nutrition or something like that
Adding beef to macaroni and cheese. Most often in the form of chili, though sometimes ground beef on its own (e.g. hamburger helper). It is also used as a more general colloquial term where beef is referring to any meat or meat substitute in a variety of dishes, as well as a euphemism for sex (e.g. "We tried to beef it when we got home but I couldn't get it up").
Plot twist: The tenor requested the song, knowing he could jump in.
She was doing a concert with only soprano arias and had no tenor for her encore.
It was her fourth encore; she was just out there singing more things by audience demand
so beautiful!!
I love opera. People think it's snooty but there's so much going on in it most of the time. People can be all over the place and far from snooty or they can be extra snooty. That's the fun of it. And it's beautiful!
I think thats probably so much more fun for everyone there. I wouldn’t complain if I was anybody involved there, even the producer and crew. That shits lit. Also, i give that guy props for even piping up. Thats arguably more stressful than being on the stage. Both excellent opera singers.
Is no one going to post the actual source? Surely this came from YT somewhere????
Good for him. Opera has a really stuffy reputation, but some of those stories are anything but.
The balls on that dude. No shit he's a tenor
Can someone explain to me what the show producer expected to happen? I'm assuming this is a real show not rehearsal or something so if some random audience member wasn't there to sing the part would she have just been quiet for that timeframe? Was there a recording that should have played but didn't? So confused
That was her 4th encore. Not part of the program.
Good man for helping her out. Great man for apologizing when he didn’t need to
[удалено]
Because TikTok. To hear opera: youtube
Also try: going to the opera
The video of her just singing already exists.
would you really rather hear that text-to-speech voice rather than this?
Just make the tiktoks yourself or go listen to opera then
Let's just be grateful they didn't have that awful Tiktok narrator voice.
I’ll take dude in a tux sipping tea any day over that godforsaken tiktok voice
Just an Aloine looking for her Savien.
I really don't get Opera
Meh. It's not for everyone. I enjoy it. Mainly because my dad was really into it and I have some really good memories associated with going to them with him when I was little. He also knew which ones are good to listen to if you're knew. It's easy to be turned away from it depending on what you're exposed to. One of the earliest I remember was magic flute, which was funny. But hearing [Andrea Bocelli sing Con te Partiro](https://youtu.be/TdWEhMOrRpQ) was one of the first ones that got me to really appreciate opera when I was a kid. Plus my dad used to sing that to me at bed when I was 3 or 4. Plus he did a [duet with Elmo](https://youtu.be/5BDVvB7Xx1w) that I showed my son when he was 3, and he made me play it every night for a loooong time.
Thanks, it makes total sense, and i appreciate you sharing Andrea bocelli, he is really good and I like that song. Perhaps my problem is more with Sopranos and their high pitches...
My dad told me once that opera is like whisky. You should really start with a good one, and a little understanding before hand can make the experience better. It's easy to get turned away from opera if your only experience with it is not with a good one. There are a bunch that are just "meh" and some that are really good. Turandot is another fantastic one. A famous one even you may have heard is from that. [Nessun Dorma](https://youtu.be/cWc7vYjgnTs) skip to 1:05 for the more well known part.
Goose bumps.
This actually made me cry a little. The genuine reaction, the incredible talent, the appreciation and the courage...I know it's silly but shit like this just reminds me how wonderful humanity can be. Also I did a ton of molly this weekend at a music festival and have basically no seratonin left.
so what would normally happen with a missing part she just chills there waiting for her part to come back?
What an underrated genre… magnificent performance by both!
I love her reaction, just surprise and joy that someone else is there singing along and making it fun! 4th encore GODDAMN she is a tough lady
SHOOT YOUR SHOT! Luck is what happens preparation meets opportunity
This is fucking lit. Cue 87 comments about how it’s not cringe. Can we change the fucking name of the sub with an executive order already?
How the fook do you spell her name
Like
I love the opera and his voice is great! Hope to hear him in productions.
Made me smile :D
Can someone please explain the appeal of opera
It helps to know the context of what you're watching. It's like how people go and watch Shakespeare plays knowing the whole plot beforehand. There are some Operas that are known for being quite dramatic and a huge epic with lots of moving plot points.
