Madama Butterfly
Its an opera. Puccini's music flows between a fine balance of beauty and driving power...if the opera ever comes into your neck of the woods, take a date to go see it. You won't regret itLast edited by Tom Yum; 06-30-2007, 05:53 PM.

I was in a small music ensemble at the University of Texas; one of the few non-music majors that got in - about 1/5 to 1/4 of us were non-music majors...so in other words, we sucked
In that entire time-span, I played a good deal of classical pieces - like the Pines of Rome, Pictures at an Exhibition, The Carnival of Venice, Carmen: The Opera...so I used to be versed in classical/opera, but I don't talk about it because not many people are genuinely interested in it or worse, they try to one-up you with their knowledge.
The best time to talk about classical music is right before or right after a venue: if they have a deep appreciation for it or have ever touched an instrument, you can feel it...Last edited by Tom Yum; 06-30-2007, 07:24 PM.
