Before visiting the Opera house, this lession gave me an introductory and explanatory session of the world of the most elegant music style:the opera. It has deeply stun me that such luxory thing as a 5 billion HUF budget Opera house in the global crisis still gets its share from the main budget and its financing is a national question of representation of the cpuntry.
Besides the financials the castrato-singers were the point that captured my attention, the way how people submit themselves to art and their lives as well. However, castrato's were the supers stars of the age, that didn't necesarrily brought success. 1:200 was their chance to get famous and successful, less they had a life sacrificed to that goal, completed only half-way...
About the Bluebird's castle lets have a word later, when the experience and expression of the performance is fresh...:)

week 4
This week we have discovered the text's and lyrics' role in the music.
The different voices for instance chest/head voice and such personal capabilities and makings make them sound differently and give them a notable way of expression. But the most important of the music if there is a lyric embeded in it, so that the listener is not only listening to the sounds but the voice as well. The sounds may evoke emotions in us, but voices can clarify them and let us know what the song is about and what attitude we should listen it with.
Classical music pieces often do not contain written lyrics and any voices but sounds, as I have marked it in the lession but they do convey their message via the instruaments and the previous knowledge that we know the title of the song. That really counts a lot in unhderstandig in my point of view.
