i guess Phantom would be properly classified as a modern musical.

 

As opposed to a straight classical opera where the soprano sings pure classical music.

 

Take for example Turandot. If you have heard of Nessun Dorma, you would notice it is a bit different from the songs of Broadway musicals.

 

The Phantom was named such because, as we all know, the setting was in an opera house.

 

 

Undoubtedly it is one of the best musicals ever. As they say, if you have only 1 chance in your life to see a musical, then Phantom it is

"Phantom of the Opera" is not considered a serious opera work. Strictly speaking, it is a Broadway musical.

 

agree

[rolling stoned]

Definitely Wagner. There is something majestic about his music that moves me. I once took a long drive in the south in the middle of a severe typhoon while listening to 'Ride of the Valkyries'. Mind-blowing!

Magaganda ang mga choices sa opera part ng program ah. Medyo "gasgas" na actually para sa mga tunay na enthusiasts ng classical music, pero ma-appeal para sa mga baguhan pa lang.

Yes I guess the choices were based on popularity

 

The more popular and "gasgas", the more appeal to the crowd of course

 

 

And it wasn't a choosy crowd. Not exactly "masa", but mostly oldies. My crowd

 

I am not an expert on operas, and I do not know them by heart, but I enjoyed the whole thing nevertheless.

 

It was my first time to watch the Rush Hour Concert Series, and it was their last for the year.

 

Hope I can watch more of that next year

Soprano-centric nga lang 'yung selections from "La Boheme". Might as well, pinakanta na rin lang ng "Che gelida manina" 'yung tenor soloist para patas ang laban

[Radiomir]

Baroque Music, Vivaldi, Corelli, Handel and my Fav Albinoni Adagio in g minor. There's a lot to choose in classical. But for the greatest composition is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony " Ode to Joy"

[GoyongDP]

Any work by Niccolo Paganini and Vivaldi. I like classical music on strings. Duets, trios, quartets and quintet on strings.

 

I rarely like symphonies but I like the famous Symphony No. 9's fourth movement of Beethoven. It sorta sounds like the triumph of men, especially the climactic part.

[Tres Picos]

remember the garbage trucks that were blaring a version of Fur Elise as their signal for us to take out the trash?

 

only in the philippines LOL

 

it's because of The Youth's song "Basura" using Fur Elise's melody

[MrBadguy]

Vivaldi <3

[Judge Mental]

Chopin

[taggy]

Sarasate
