OPERA

Never mind the Plots
(Never mind the narrow seats)
Never mind the foreign words

Bring on the deep resounding flowing Love duets
Highlight the Beauty the litheness of Youth
Pour out the Sorrows
Pour out the Laughter and strutting Costumes
Pour out the lingering Emotions
the Passion (with interludes)

Give the Orchestra a chance on its own

Startle . . . use Silence . . . use Space . . . use Color

All: Bigger than LIFE itself
All: God’s Non-Verbal Language through and through.

          O P E R A ! !
