i feel like eventually i should sit down and write my "how to get into an opera as a beginner with zero musical knowledge" guide. unfortunately the first part would be: get really into sondheim for about five years. then you will be ready. then we can get into stravinsky's the rake's progress ^___^
#sondheim is not technically opera and he would be really mad at me for saying so#but if you can appreciate sweeney todd and passion and sunday in the park w/ george#you can appreciate opera. you can!#actually i saw my first live opera in 2024 (rigoletto) but my interest in it kind of exploded in the past year#seeing the amadeus play live really really helped
