Today in class was different. We spent a lot of time watching clips from different operas and movies with opera in them. My favorite was definitely the final opera, The Magic Flute. That opera sounded very farmiliar and i loved the way the woman's voice goes up and down the notes just hitting each one, not extending the notes. It was cool to see the crazy fireworks in Vatel and how they used pyrotechnics back then.
For my paper i will probably watch La Boheme.
It sounds like a good one to watch, and I have seen Rent on Broadway in NYC, and I really liked it, so I think I will like this opera!
PS. I lost my homework folder and need to find it, i'm lost without it.
PPS. I watched the movie Julie and Julia last night and loved it, totally made me want to BLOG BLOG BLOG!!!!
Today was the first day of class. The teacher, my academic advisor Santiago, seems pretty funny and smart. I enjoyed the excerpt from the movie he showed us and thought the guy had an amazing voice. It kinda reminded me of the opera from the movie, The Fifth Element, when the BLUE lady sings during the fight scene, it was fierce.
Definition I learned today...
