Oh yes, I think you'll fight right in. Greetings!

And feel free to ask around about anything classical-related you might be interested in; especially if it's going to help you dig classical even further.

Hi again,

I really like Puccini, I saw Madam Butterfly and cried. I think Tosca is a great part, i love how she kills the evil Scarpia.
I am also fascinated with Strauss' opera Salome. I think the whole head on a platter and dance of the seven scarves is amazing. I also dig the creepiness of Wozzeck.

People have suggested Wagner,  but I cant get into it. What is wrong with me?

Absolutely nothing wrong. Quite the contrary. 

Welcome aboard!

As our dear friend Florestan wrote, nothing is wrong.
I am sure that I will never get into Wagner, allthough,.... I saw a German film form the sixties, about the Nibelungen, no singing there, only orchestral, and nice costumes, so that worked for me.....

Welcome Artressa!

I really like Puccini.

I like Puccini too.

Probably nothing. You just aren't a Wagner person.

Welcome to our humble insane asylum!

Arrrrrgh!

Welcome Artressa! Richard Wagner is truly the Father of Modern Cinema. Without him, it's highly unlikely movies today would be anywhere near as effective. However, he most definitely is an acquired taste!

[Haffner]

oh good, you like Salome! I hope you hate Mozart so you can annoy Elias!

Arrrrgh! (part two)

[Harry]

Arrrrgh! (part two)

Elias likes me, because I like a Mozart opera........

Arrrggggghhhhh

[Haffner]

Elias likes me, because I like a Mozart opera........

Arrrggggghhhhh

(laughing like a madman)

[artressa]

Hi again,

I have to admit that I like Mozart opera, but I find it difficult to sing.

I am trying to understand Wagner, I like the harmony he uses when I have it in small doses.

It is the whole thing together, going on and on that losses me, but I am willing to learn.

Hi artressa, and welcome.  I love Tosca, Salome and Wozzeck.  So what part of the world are you in, and where did you see Madama Butterfly?

Hope you enjoy yourself...lots of fun people here interested in all kinds of music (including rock).
