What Makes a Great Soprano

Opera is probably one of the most difficult forms of art ever existed in human history. Such a vast combination of literary/ mythological references; music; visual art and acting all put together in a condensed time frame is literally unimaginable. It might seem effortless from eyes of the audience, however behind the seemingly effortlessness is at least 10 years of hard, boring and bone crushing work. Don't believe me? Try it!;)

Rigoletto at the Met

Long before we saw the opera, we've had ear full of comments about its apparently flamboyant and modern stage design. I'm never against progression, so I was excited to find out with my own eyes about this opera. The brightest spot of the opera has to be Diana Damrau--what an artist, musician and wonderful character. Since my first very Gilda was Anna Moffo, naturally I expect vocal impeccability and drama. At the end, I'm glad to say that the opera was very successful, the crew were excellent singers as well as performers.
