Opera

I am a lover of Italian Opera, with Giacomo Puccini being my favourite composer. However, I do have a fairly varied taste and enjoy Tchaikovsky and a few pieces by Wagner. I have probably listened to a vast cross section over the years, and it is surprising how many compositions by lesser known composers are quite inspiring.

I like to listen to Shaoxin Opera in China. It is a local opera. I love it for its beautiful art. I started to love it ever since I was a kid when I watched the movie The Red Mansion, which is a famous ancient novel talking about love and I was so interested in learning more of it. The opera made me fall in love with Shaoxin Opera.

Me and my 4 year old watch opera and balet on tv a lot I dont have personal favorite I just watch whats on tv. I am more into the old once (not the new and modern opera). My son loves it he is never more behaved than when he is watching opera and even more when he is watching balet.

I am absolutely hypnotized by the voice of Andrea Bocelli. He sounds so effortless... he amazes me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmWvdrdm7VEVE
