I’ve been listening to opera fifty five years and We’ve been attending opera at the Met for forty five years. My first opera was Carmen and I was hooked. I can’t imagine my life without this amazing, glorious art form. You have it all. Music, drama,comedy, dance, and beautiful sets. And the most amazing voices in the world. All I can say to someone who’s never heard or been to the opera is try it you’ll probably love it. The Met HD performances is a good way to get started.

I became a convert over 20 years ago when I saw my first Opera, Aida at the Orange County Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa, CA. I have now seen over two dozen performances at the Met and a few at the Vienna State Opera and La Scala. No artistic medium can move you like a live performance at the Opera. It's not uncommon to see the audience weeping or screaming in joy. Life wouldn't be worth living without Opera. Thank God for the Met!!!

I've been to the Met four times in my life. Every time I walked into the House, I always felt thrilled. In the audience, the Met is perfection. But backstage, as Bob Simon says, "you can cut the tension with an A-flat." Yet in the end, it's so worth it! BRAVO!!

@scottreiburnNYC 2 года назад

Thank you, CBS, for releasing this segment. Bob Simon, one of the great journalists, who I’m sure so many of us miss. The Metropolitan, one of the great, important arts venues in the entire world. How many places can you say that about? A handful. I hope the art form never dies. It must be protected. We have to keep getting younger generations through the doors. Thanks for lifting my spirits. Badly needed.

If people want an intro to opera, Tosca by Puccini is a great place to start. It is a beautiful opera and sits nicely between the baroque composers (Handel, Vivaldi) 😅and the more modern ones (Mahler, Wagner)

@canamus1768 2 года назад

tosca was pemiered in 1900, so it's well distanced from the operas of vivaldi and handel by almost two centuries. also, it doesn't predate wagner and his music dramas, but actually incorporates to a degree his compositional innovation of the use of musical leitmotifs to signify particular characters and situations (e.g., the famous "scarpia" chords that open the opera, signifying the corrupt roman chief of police, baron scarpia, and his pervasive influence in the unfolding drama). that said, tosca is a good intro to opera, with its engaging political thriller plot that unfolds in an almost cinematic fashion.

@Ariadne-cg4cq 2 года назад

@@canamus1768 Although Tosca is a good first introduction to the Opera genre to a newcomer I have used Traviata as a fist introduction to several friends who wanted to try it out and they were thrilled.

@larrychan622 11 месяцев назад

IMHO Gelb's greatest achievement has been the HD Streaming service which is well worth the cost of a full year subscription. In terms of other marketing ploys, they need to think outside the box. They've never thought to try and appeal to the LOTR fan base . There are significant elements of Tolkien's body of work that draw from the same sources as Wagner's Ring Cycle. If you can easily binge watch all 3 episodes of Peter Jackson's LOTR, then you can certainly sit through Das Rheingold at the very least for starters. I prefer the 1990 James Morris version, although the 2010 Bryn Terfel version is also excellent (I just despise that AV mechanical see-saw monstrosity, I just cringe when I see it going full tilt in Die Walküre, but to each their own.

Pues si en el Met la gente va en masa a ver ópera, felicitaciones. Pero, la realidad es que las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI han sido las peores para la ópera. Malos directores, pésimas producciones, puestas en escenas terribles, incomprensibles, los lenguajes muy mal utilizados, y cantantes muy mediocres. Y, después de la pandemia sigue peor, entradas muy caras y lo que se escucha en el teatro es lamentable. Se necesita volver a la esencia de la ópera: tragedia y drama. El Rigoletto es una profunda reflexión de la angustia humana, del vacío , del mal moral que medito el grandísimo Verdi. Es una obra atemporal, magistral…eso no se entiende, ni se comprende hoy en día, y así pasa con todos los demás gloriosos títulos. En fin…esperemos que una nueva generación cambie esto, a ver si se arregla. Gracias por el vídeo. Saludos cordiales.

@jjlungdoc7472 5 месяцев назад

Is Gelb reinventing or sinking opera? The Met is drifting fast toward bankruptcy while blaming the audience is supposed to serve. This production of Rigoletto didn’t last. It is already canned or put in the sack ( pun intended). The new one set in Berlin did not fare much better either. Gelb brought Eurotrash productions to the Met. Most of his new productions have failed while wasting millions: Tosca, The Ring, Cosi fan tutte and more recently Carmen , Lucia and now Forza. Never to be outdone, next year is likely to be Aida. Thank you Peter for all your failed efforts but could you please quit ASAP?
