Reasons For Watching American Friends Linden Opera Plays

By Carolyn Lee


Ballet and theater are great forms of art that people have enjoyed since the Italian renaissance. Merging acting, singing and choreography to tell a story is a manifestation of how truly creative people are. There are many famous plays that get to be performed worldwide that have many fans. This has evolved throughout time and show a distinct difference between the way plays are written based on culture and generation.

One type that particularly stands out is the opera. The dialogue is relayed through song in a carefully structured way with a distinct style. There is a fine line that divides this from musicals. Both still do include great singers and performers to the stage. The American Friends Linden opera house performances are particularly leaning on to continuous singing, including the dialogues.

Surprisingly the Phantom of the Opera is not an opera, it is a musical. There are associations that make an extended effort of sharing their art to different parts of the world. On one hand, musicals may have their tragic and comedic elements in storylines, they are generally light hearted and do not always border to the human tendency to meddle with the supernatural.

The whole dynamic of operas revolves mainly around music and singing. Give the more classical art a chance and try attending these performances at least once, especially if you are a huge fan of broadway musicals. While it may be totally different, the experience of seeing a whole orchestra and singers in costume is a breath taking experience.

Der Freizchutz by Carl Maria von Weber has the distinct elements of serious tragedy and dealing with supernatural and morbid entities. The story is mainly about a man who decides to make a deal with Zamiel, a devil in the gates of hell. All this captures the darkness and morbidity that seem to be a common theme among many of these performances.

One really good play was produced by Carl Maria von Weber called the Der Freizchutz. This perfectly shows the point earlier made about the characters dealing with supernatural forces. The protagonist in the play basically sells his soul to the devil to be a better shooter.

Another notable one is based on the story o f Don Juan. It is entitled Don Giovani created by the well renowned Mozart. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is famous for both his comedy and dramatics. Apart from that a more notable on would be the marriage of Figaro with a comedy woven throughout its composition.

The main reason why these performances are still being shown is how they still remain valuable even in the age of TVs and digital media. The life that is portrayed in stage gives great insight to the tragic comedy that literature is best known for. Many stories written by Shakespeare have been used and turned into operas. This gives you an idea of what kind of plots are being used and composition of music is preferred by the art form.

It may be difficult for the digital age to appreciate such classical art form carried over from centuries over. But it does show you how much people are invested in art that lifts their spirits even if it means expending so much with music, people and production. Humans have evolved to appreciate art in such a way that it may be their only reason for living, which is, quite frankly, the most beautiful.
