Everyone is making such a big effort to bring people into opera and this sort of thing reall does not help at all. They didn't have to do anything, they could have put a girl singing Defying Gravity or anything like that, but to ridicule opera for no aparent reason is pathetic.<br />Well, I wont stop believing, be sure of it ;) And you "Dream On", never too old for dreaming!Belahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940075924322732507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881539215077596507.post-83624008317456797282013-04-19T18:53:39.060-05:002013-04-19T18:53:39.060-05:00Hi Bela,

Well not all of it but I caught the audition. I was thinking the same thing. <br /><br />I don't think anyone seriously auditioning for Funny Girl would sing opera OR Journey. But mostly I was disappointed, like you, about the way they portrayed opera and (being a person of size) I was especially annoyed by the "fat opera singer" stereotype.<br /><br />And I hadn't even THOUGHT about the whole "It's OK to be yourself" thing, which of course is the main theme of this show. Grrr indeed!<br /><br />But Bela, "don't stop believin'" in our opera dreams!! <br /><br />Rob (old but still dreaming!)Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322512607114908183noreply@blogger.com
