Most people learn about opera the way: by going to them. Like, who's got the time? Written, Photographed, Edited, Narrated, and just Generally Created by Kim Thompson.
I also saw this on Bravo, nearly thirty years ago. Finally needing to show it to one of my children, I typed "guide to opera parody" into the RU-vid search bar and recognized the fourth entry thumb nail as this video. Normally my google-fu is nowhere near this level of success.
@@hellno7960 I’m still kicking! I am now 46 years old. So my first post was when I was around 29-30 years old and I was remembering seeing it as a teenager. 😀
It was funny, and I know it's not the point, but they should have included The Marriage of Figaro, The Magic Flute, La Boheme, and Rigoletto at the VERY least.
Hilarious and brilliant! Thank you so much for posting this! I particularly like tags with "Incest!" "Murder!!" "Adultery!" etc., and the narration is just perfect. Five stars from me, too!
does anyone recognize in this artwork also an homage to Terry Gillia,’s screwy cut and paste/ decoupage come-to-life style animation for Monty Python’s Flying circus?
Why are Gangsta Rap, Jerry Springer, the Steve Wilkos show and tough-guy films considered to be low-brow, yet opera is considered to be refined when they all deal with the same stuff? I guess that's the whole point of this video.
my music teacher barely showed my class this. it was so funny and im in sixth grade. hahaha i was like lol and then this kid in my class got the right # of people and gods that died and i was like omg how did u know that and he said that he just guessed.
Well, as i see you can read the Synopsis from a BOOK. First book you picked up eh! Well done you! Your musical extacy and incredible knowledge evolved from your recently developed whisteling nostrils! And basing your entire personal statements on a guess and assumption...as so far ( for you) by 'opera' you probably meant the chat show host (oprah)? At least im certain thats the closest you have come to the word Opera !... where according to you :'people dont say anything...they sing'
I don't know what the purpose of this video is but if it was to convince a novice to try opera it was a complete failure. To say nothing of the piss poor, terrible production values.

I must say this is very stupid. I mean, how do you dare talking about opera without its music? Do you really think the plots are everything in the operas?
