        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 it

            I was a musician for 8 years, ending on my 20th birthday - played the trumpet. During that time, I performed in an orchestra, large wind ensemble, marching band and a few different jazz-type bands.

            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...

              That was a wonderful performance. I've always wanted to go check out opera but I'm afraid I won't understand the story (where the true moving power of the music comes from) and end up confused . Is it easy to understand and catch on to the story when watching opera in a different language?
