A Night At The Opera.

Goldfinch60



The hero struts on stage with a swagger,

This handsome, charming man opens his mouth

And a sound of such indomitable beauty

Fills the house and my mind.

I am transported into the world of opera,

All other thoughts disappear,

As the music permeates my body and soul.

The heroine appears and a sound of such power

Amazes me as it is done with no effort.

How can they do this, produce this music,

So powerful, so beautiful and so fulfilling to me.

    Erm, different to when a politician opens their mouth (line 2)!

  • Doggerel Dave

    An essence of opera, you have created there, Andy. Too rich for regular consumption (my consumption) but as an occasional treat.....

    • Goldfinch60

      So kind Dave. As you know I enjoy so many types of music and opera is certainly one of tghem.

        In the final scene of Rigoletto I am always in tears.

        Most do not appreciate the years of training along with the talent that goes to being an opera singer where no microphone is used to project the sound and such rich tones produced. A most beautiful write my friend.

        • Goldfinch60

          Very true and so kind soren, thank you.

            I can understand
            Your love for
            the Opera,
            the songs,
            the sounds, it's
            beauty.. 🎡🎢🎢🎢
            Best regards. Thad
