Phantom of the Opera

+4
I have trouble enjoying my kids events at school, I just hate crowds.

I did see Phantom with my wife once in Atlanta. I did enjoy it a lot.

I havent really had a lot of chances to see or listen to opera but I'm going to go with Repo the Genetic Opera. I love how it blends rock with the more traditional opera with Sarah Brightman

The Marriage of Figaro

+1
I probably like the Mozart's music from this better than most from Don Giovanni, but that's because the latter is so dark. I also like Madama Butterfly. This is from Don Giovanni, but is one of my favorite duets.

Yes, I really like that. The rest of Don Giovanni is so gloomy, it seems, but then, there is this beautiful duet of the two flirting.

If Tommy qualifies, then I need to go with Phantom of the Paradise. Delightfully weird and way, way, way ahead of it's time.

I'd count that. Very interesting. I'll have to put it on my MP3 and listen to the whole thing.

Try to find the DVD if you can. I think you can score a "25th Anniversary" one from Amazon for like $10. It's basically Phantom of the Opera meets Faust meets Kiss.
