Back from NY. Catching up on research. Now on Belini’s Norma.
What is it that we can learn from Opera?
What are we seeking?
How can music and art influence our life?
How will it transform you?
These are the questions that is constantly on my mind.
I have no classical training in art or music, but I want to learn and be able to purely enjoy and be inspired. By studying important music pieces, we will learn history, philosophy, physiology, story telling, life, desperation, love, and hope. Drive to change, and better live.
Same for visual and contemporary art, but it may be more so with some of these major music pieces.
This is why Balse is increasingly focusing on Opera at this time.
What if we researched the 20 most important Operas and summarized them in our own ways, for us to be educated and truly studied the context and messages. I think it will have an impact on our lives.
