Opera right to your ears by Romana Schlesingerova

For many people the word "opera" evocate some mixed up feelings connected to a dark theater, yawning husband and four hours full of screaming Italians in bloated robes. Naturally, we are not all lovers of every kind of art. Counting with numerous distractive factors, there is no blame that opera is one of the most unpopular music genres amongst the new generation. We prefer more freedom- especially in the lyrics. Believe or not, the Metropolitan Opera Association of New York City, founded in April 1880 and the major presenter of all kinds of opera, has been created from the need for the freedom as well. Functioning Academy of Music represented by the highest and wealthiest circles, didn't have a pleasure in accepting new members into their lines. These singers created another stage, where talents were welcomed and very soon outlasted the Academy. The Metropolitan Opera, nowadays known as MET, opened its spectacular history with Faust, on October 22nd 1883. The creation of a new, modern wave meant a sudden progress for the society at the end of the 19th century. The similar breakthrough kicked up the brand new project of MET and Rhapsody. They just recently launched an on-demand digital music service. You can purchase hundreds of operas from 1937 to 2006 from the comfort of your house. The art that was once an exclusive privilege of enormous halls is available for you. To listen and give it a second chance.
