She has her own network now right? Don't hear near as much on her now. Kinda a woman show though.

As for Opera, I've never actually seen before... but I love me some Pavarotti, Domingo, and Carreras.

And I might add, when Grand Theft Auto 3 first came out for PS3... there was an opera station I always played on repeat.

Since SAV killed this thread with a turrible joke I'll try to answer honestly.
I appreciate Opera but have no effing clue what's going on. I know you can read the story or whatever but I'm someone who needs to follow along.
I feel similarly about Opera as Brian Regan
Stockholm, more densely populated than NYC - sturg
Big opera fan, this guy kills it. Enrico Polatzzo

I killed it with a bad joke!?!?? What the hell?

Here are a couple of opera like American albums, oddly both written by a Brit: White Mansions, The Legend of Jesse James
I'm a fan.
I posted the question because I scored pretty great, almost-free tickets to Puccini's Madame Butterfly last Friday at the Lyric (which was directed/staged phenomenally), and it'd been several years since I'd seen anything operatic on the stage. Nice to see more, and more interesting, responses than I anticipated.
Opera's interesting because it prioritizes spectacle while often de-emphasizing story (and it does help to review an opera's main narrative in advance if one isn't already familiar). In a lot of ways, I think its akin to our contemporary comic-book-based films, except the spectacular in opera is much more musical and much less visual.

When I lived in Atlanta I received season tickets as a gift. I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Season tickets? Did the Opera choke too like many other entertainment events hosted in Atlanta?

I believe you're thinking of Phantom of the Opera.

Nice little piece on 60 Minutes on Sunday. How the MET is using live broadcast to bring Opera around hte world. I've always seen these Opera Advertisements at my movie theatesr here, had no idea if they were actually live or if they were just pre-taped.
Interesting how the director of the MET wanted to update and modernize Rigoletto
Also mentions how the MET is 100 million in debt lol. Crazy they spend about 1.5 million per day on production costs.

Just saw a really damn superlative production of Antonín Dvořák's Rusalka.
