      Yes. Opera = Carmen, Madame Butterfly, etc... I don't enjoy them because I have absolutely no idea what they are saying.


      Not in English?

      Most opera, original, in Italian, French, etc

          There is a Shakespeare in the Park Othello he is interested in. I am afraid I might fall asleep while watching :rotflmao: Told him to find some classmates to go with him, but he's unwilling 🤷

          Fall asleep okay, coz it's in the dark. Just don't give yourself away by snoring. :rotflmao:

            That's not opera not a musical either. That is a play. Unless you are into Shakespeare, yup high chance of falling asleep. 😂

              Yuh boi. Shakespeare still gives me nightmares with all the memorisation of the verses. The only thing I remember is the beginning of the 3 witches chant in Macbeth \"Bubble bubble toil and trouble\". That's it. And only because it was catchy. Everything else is too painful to recall :razz:

                Right now for the musicals available in Singapore, I’d say go for Phantom of the Opera. I’ve watched it several times and have enjoyed every performance. The difference in the leads, the backdrops, the sets, give a different vibe to each.

                  Musicals, I like. Wish it could be a cheaper affair so I can indulge and bring kiddos along for all of them.


                  Opera, ummm. Andrea Bocelli and The Three Tenors counted?

                    Did anyone watched the movie version of Les Miserables? I thought it was very good! Totally impressed by Anne Hathaway as Fantine. Her \"I dreamed a dream\" was much more tear-jerking and real than Susan Boyle's or Elaine Paige's rendition! 😢 :love:

                      Ehhh... \"Double double ......\" or \"Bubble bubble....\" ?

                      I remember Lady Macbeth \"Out, damn spot! Out, I say!\"
                      Use it a lot when I'm doing laundry.

                        Good job, Funz. And yes... that \"out out damn spot\" too 🙂
