I went Opera with my host sister, Saritha to watch an opera called The Magic Flute.
Although some operas are only good at one singing or visual aspects, "The magic Flute" was good at both.
And the opera was not hard to understand because when I was 13 years old I had seen an animated video version of the opera during music class:) Because lyrics were German, there was subtitle on the top of the stage setting.
It was interesting that I could understand German without subtitle sometimes since I have learned German:)
"Mutter Mutter!" "Meine liebe" kind of things! there was bunch of words that I could understand during the opera.
I loved the part that the Queen of Night, Aria because Sumi Jo who is the most famous opera singer in Korea is well know for this song:)
I heard that although her acting skill is not that strong as other opera singer, her intonation and rhythm are very accurate.
My second favorite part was when Papageno and Papagena decided to get married and design their future.
In that scene six cute boys and girls came out and followed Papageno and Papagena's dancing.
They were soooooooooooooo cute:)
I love this opera:)
I hope I have the chance to see more operas!
so cya,
Sukyong
