For the most part I enjoy musical theater, but not opera.

And this is what makes the world go round.

If everyone loved opera, I would not be able to get tickets!

And I loathe some musical theater, so there you go.

My intention was just to expose the kids to opera.

NOOOOOOOOOO.

I have a really hard time stomaching this type of parenting. Is having enlightened historical knowledge such a bad thing?

Any kind of program that makes a kid sit for more than 15 minuites is torture to them. They need to learn to be calm.

People freaked out about 'Last Temptation of Christ' too, but the event in question took place during a dream. The overall message was that Jesus had thoughts/dreams like a regular man... But they protested anyway...
Bleh.

I'm not a fan of opera, mind you, but going to school on a music scholarship entailed having to endure them.

Opera ain't so bad. I rather liked Tommy in quadraphonic.

I'm not a huge opera fan either, and certain musicals bug me, but I am gay. Really I am.

There are some operas that truly are stinko. I'm not a fan of 'Tristan and Isolde'. Bleh.

Agreed, a snore-fest!

Sounds like the parents should be made to repeat the 4th grade, they obviously missed the point of the lesson.

I named my laptop Mephistopheles. But I had no idea that blue pubic wigs even existed. Now I want one.
