What kind of people hate opera?

Answer 1

Opera is an art form in its own style or custom. a law unto itself!- it doesn:t necessarily (Fall In!) to popular ideas of what entertainment should be, such as doses of comedy, comic relief, and plots happily concluded. Most operas are tragedies of one sort of another and Happy endings are rare indeed- one compromise one was notably Louise, which was more temporary sadness- a break up, but hope of getting back together like one of Ronnie Spector"s songs- the last line was from the male lead-IT"s a Big town! It;'sa great city in other words, well there are a lot of other girls around and we might get back together, etc. such endings are all too rare, there is all sorts of violence and duels, stabbings, in many operas and some glorify warfare and not merely in a historical (like Gettysburg) angle. Operas drag on for hours in obscure languages, and that is part of the attraction to the opera fan. it takes all kinds.My mother hated opera-and opera singers she called (Screechers) but she liked dumbed down (Popular) stuff like Sinatra. so it goes.
