@takigan @takigan I agree to a very small degree. People like Nessun dorma, Un bel di, and other arias by the side of that line. But I’m talking about full fledged operas, listening to the whole thing as proposed. Liking an aria here or there and saying you like opera, to me, is like saying you like classical composition when you only listen to, Fur Elise, Canon in D, etc. There’s nothing incorrect with listening to these kind of pieces, but in my opinion that’s not truly “enjoying” opera/classical composition.

I have watched this several times and I don’t tire from it. Certainly one of the most inspiring people I have ever heard.

@hero123213xdzero If you didn’t know what the initially piece is I reckon you are about to enter a wonderfull world of classical composition.
