I really enjoy how you present this material! I used this video to introduce my choir students to opera. I felt the same way you did regarding opera when I was younger. As a pianist, opera is an acquired taste for me.
You saved my life helping me really understand the opera and its development and reform. I couldn't wrap my head around the understanding of the timeline and the different forms of opera and the reasoning behind how Gluck really established the basis of how things started to really reform to the more commonly know works now done by mozart and such. Bless your soul

I haven’t even watch this video yet but this comment made me holler laughing! 😂😂😂
I love you channel......
opening my eyes to the beauty of the classics thanks to you......
xxxx
Thank you for keeping this video child friendly! I am homeschooling my daughter and this summer we are doing Music History - Opera and Classical Music. And I am happy you did not explain in detail what Castrato was!!!
You did an amazing job explaining opera especially to people who might not be familiar with, or even like, classical music. The video is 18 minutes but honestly feels like 5!
Thank you so very much for your video, very light and easy to follow on a subject that I have ever been able to learn. I will be following your recommendations on the famous Operas to watch! Thanks again!
Hello, can you please do videos on the types of dance forms in classical music like this one? Thank you so much, your videos are always so interesting!
brilliant. Gracias!
Thank you for this very informative video. Learned quite a lot.
Thank you! Really enjoyed your mini-history lesson.
So thankful on finding your channel!!!!!!!
Thank you for that educational and simple for understanding video!
I just wanted to correct one moment. The earliest surviving opera is "Euridice" by Peri, it was written in 1600.
its so comfortable to watch you talking
Love food analogies. I do it and teach Software development lol. I have a similar experience. It's like you have to learn something about the musical vocabulary. I saw my first live one a few months back. The Marriage of Figaro. I strongly urge anyone to see one. The costumes, everything was dazzling. They had titles projected above the stage
Opera! Thanks for uploading!
RevoDon3S, I love opera!
This is one of the best videos to learn opera history, I just have to say that Lorenzo da Ponte lived between 1749 and 1838, is really impossible that he was born in 1792 and worked with Mozart because Mozart died in 1791. Love your videos.
you're saving my semester
I love your channel. This was a good overview, so far. My voice professor would cringe at how you anglicise Italian words. I am looking forward to hear what you have to say about my favorite opera composer, Puccini.
Ha ha ha, I know my Italian is awful. Maybe that's something I need to study next. :)
Compared to English, Italian and the other Romance language vowels are significantly easier. They are far more logical and consistent. There are only five vowel sounds and they correspond to the five vowel letters; a, e, i, o, and u. They are pronounced ah, ay, ee, oe (long o), and oo. There are some exceptions, but there are significantly few than in English.
I agree with you on opera! As a kid I hated it! Now I'm in love with it and I catch myself Singing/screaming Se vuol Ballare under the shower!
I love that you're teaching about opera and you present it in a really fun manner. I'm a college music professor and I'd love to use this vid for one of my online classes but, you mispronounce so many of the Italian musical terms and composer names.
Helen. Jack and Stacey were once good people. Remember the goodness in them. Helen. I'm sorry. But. You wouldn't survive by yourself.
30 more years.
It's time to split the tips.
I promise you. We will always. Split the tips.
This was such a great intro to opera :)
Great video! A da capo aria just means an aria with two parts, where you repeat the first part after singing the second one. But you're right that singers would use these to impress the audience, because they would do the repetition with variations which were often improvised and virtuose.
Also, the first operas didn't have dancers.
your video is amazing
Do you know what Chopin’s favorite operas were? I can’t find anything on the internet about this... ☹️
You might have updated this in a future video already, but the "spiel" in Singspiel means "play." It is a sing-play!
Very good video, though, thank you. I just watched Phantom of the Opera and I'm suddenly really interested in opera stuff. This was a great video to kick me off! My friend loves Gilbert and Sullivan operas. Mikado is the only one of his recommendations I've watched and I found that very interesting but not quite deep-dive worthy. Thus we have Phantom, and now I'm in this carriage. :D
Well get into musical theatre because that’s what phantom is.
@@anthonydixon8602 Yes I'm aware. Thanks.
Please, make video about Marriage of Figaro
tiny correction: commedia dell' arte predates opera.
13:15 da ponte was actually born in 1749. he had his spouse since 1792
did not leave the links in the description
My favorite 2 operas are Carmen and riggeleto
PS. You do a great job on these videos. Wish you were a flute player, cause that's what I am learning
My first release is out now called Wishing on One- wanted to share for your consideration:)
Thanks, I can't stand studying music history XD
Music Appreciation was one of my favorite classes in college. The instructor’s style of teaching made it an enjoyable experience.
For those interested, here's a lil playlist of full operas with subtitles

Wait, L'Eurdice was before L'Orfeo(performed in 1600). BTW: Lorenzo da Ponte is born in 1749! You missed a serveral operas and composers like Purcell and his "Dido&Aeneas" or even Rameau
You didn't talk about Rameau, very important composer in Opera history, imo. Nice video, tho.
Hello there!
I have a bit of a question here...
Does the type of vocal range affect your chances of becoming an opera singer? I know the chances of someone or anyone becoming an opera singer... But, Im really curious. I do hope you can answer as quickly as possible
-Greetings from Malaysia!-
(Sorry for my horrible english 😓)
Frankly yes, but do know your range may be not in full potential because your singing technique may not be in its fullest.
Everyone can be an opera singer with constant practice.
Thank you!
The amount of range you have is important, but that only becomes apparent with some vocal training. The specific range you sing in (higher or lower) affects which sorts of roles you'll likely sing.
Lukador Bernstyle Thank you very much for your kind responses! (^_^)
are you going to mention about The Ring of The Nibelung by Richard Wagner
...stay tuned :)
How does this not have more views
Because those who watched it couldn’t show their students because she pronounces a whole lot of things wrong. Just flat out wrong. Some info was incorrect. Good for someone who hasn’t studied music I guess.
Was the picture in 11:00 a Star Trek reference? Ha ha, poor Doctor.
can anyone please add subtitles to the video? English is not my second language
I prefer watching this over going to music history in uni.
My music teacher asked to watch it
Who is your favorite modern musician/composer? :) I am a fan of Joe Hisaishi
Da ponte actually was born in 1742
Ha these pronunciations are slaying me
how did Mozart and da ponte worked togheter? the dates dont match...
(editor) Hey, sorry, I messed up his dates. Thanks for letting me know!
It should be 1749 - 1838. That is the date of his wife's birth and death. My bad. I'll put a disclaimer in the description
septobus ,no problem. is there any video of her's playing? I would love to see she doing an original song.
can you do a video about chopin' s waltz in e minor
pls can I ask how old are you?
30!
pianoTV WHAT I SWEAR YOU LOOK LIKE 24
+pianoTV how is it possible you look so young
Try Klingon opera XD
Opinion: The master of opera buffa is not Mozart, but Rossini 😁😁
Fun fact: opera is the plural of the word opus.
1:40 the foreign speakers are watching this.
hiiii les 4 emes
I’m getting a doctorate in voice, and I’ve studied opera for years. Ive even been reviewing it for my general exams coming up soon. Everything you’re saying is very good, BUT... for your next video, please double check your pronunciation. Words like Gluck and buffa aren’t pronounced with American short [u]’s. They’re French and have a long [u] sound like boot. Glook and Boofa. I just thought it was a shame that all of your information was good, but your pronunciation was off. There were others as well. Just double check for your next video. You can use a phone translator. Good Job☺️
And learn how to pronounce "recitative". It is not at all like "recite".....
@@pamengelmann right!!!!! Lol
i so ... you want to say that. CGM
listen to LA TRAVIATA by Giuseppe Verdi
NO! Listen to Carmen by George Bizet! It has so many catch tunes it is unbalivable. You never get bored by the music!!!
Le nozze di figaro! you can't beat the music from le nozze
la donna e mobile
@@reehji sure you can lol. It’s ok!
Spiel means play not speak.
peking opera than itlan dance
"...couldn't stand opera *in my youth*". Haha, what? C'mon, you're still young as hell!
Nah you're just old :P
Bibbermans lol im 20
I am 21 years old, and I always tell people this. I never liked opera growing up. I thought I was going to pursue musical theater my entire life, until I found my voice. Singing opera is one of the most liberating experiences for me.
Hello my friend, please learn how to pronounce the name of the Opera,Composers,names of the singers etc. Opera is the Greatest art form in the world. And 'is very complex etc etc etc. Take care Arnold Bourbon Amaral
Really didn’t like canned cat food the first time I tried it......now I hate it
I think I can Handel opera
you´re so beautiful
Recitative is pronounced RE CHEE TA TEEVE Allysia. Get it straight.
It's more like re-si-ta-teev (it's French). It's got a ch sound in Italian: recitativo
I have never heard more mispronunciations in my whole entire life
Cailum
Cailum
Cailum
Cailum
pronunciation is 0/100. 🤚🏽
Lmao it’s pronounced recit-A-teeeve lol good try
Please work on saying these terms and names correctly. I showed this video in my class and had to constantly stop and say the correct pronunciations. If you're going to share info, please share it all accurately. It is also offensive to those who speak these languages and just a form of miseducation in general.
