Guest bcnjunkie Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Not considered, I have been to the Opera, several times !!! in London, NY, Paris, Rome, Los Angeles and Miami. And I have also been to the ballet, modern dance (which was actually the most boring), broadway shows and Las Vegas style burlesque shows the likes of The Lido and Moulin Rouge. Then again I also went to the live shows in Amsterdam, that's cultural no ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest durrtylexx Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 I'd love to go to the opera to hear the fat lady sing! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Okay okay, fine. Saleen is opera-curious, but you're full-on operatic. Fine with me man, we cater to all kinds here. Shalom and love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smentac Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Thanks to cooljunkie for scouting this out. Opera arias have already been mixed with dance music to create some interesting results and opera singers aren't all fat - nudity has been done (even at the Met, in Salome, and this summer bigtime in Germany - I forget the opera). Don't see why the two crowds would be mutually exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bcnjunkie Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 I would like to see a Concerto, never been to one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 I never even thought of Sarah Brightman as opera. If she's singing Andrew Lloyd Webber pop tunes then it doesn't count as opera, no?So does anybody know of any cool dance tracks with opera layers? I can only think of all of the dance tracks based on O Fortuna from Carmina Burana. I'm sure that there must be some remixes of the Ride of the Valkyries somewhere? Remixes of songs from Tommy don't count.Hey wasn't one of those O Fortuna remixes from an act called "Apotheosis"? That isn't where that came from is it Apotheosis?

Guest macboy Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 I never even thought of Sarah Brightman as opera. That's correct TJ, because she's a singer, not an actor. Still has a great voice, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mikepayne Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 I know I have heard several dance tunes with opera but I am sooo bad at track names. Sowwy. Wasnt there one in the movie Blade?The track at the beginning of Blade during the blood shower scene is New Order - Confusion, but I'm almost sure that can't be the one you're talking about, since there's nothin' opera about it, heh.

Guest macboy Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 I always enjoyed <gasp> the trance remix of Emma Shapplin's Spente Le Stelle. No flaming please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest endymion Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 that cd "rave till dawn" was what got me into electronic music in the first place. oh fortuna was track 1.Wow, holy crap, me too. I never had that compilation, I had a girlfriend in high school who heard that O Fortuna movement in a trailer for the Les Miserable movie and she wigged out. She tracked down every known recording of the thing. (Before the Internet!) One of them was Apotheosis, the O Fortuna track and another one that just sucked. It ended up all over the Orlando dance scene the next year. ;D About 89, 90.That was the first dark electronic track that I had ever heard, ever. Everything electronic before that had been Danny Elfman Oingo Boingo happy bright 80's synthesizer pop. Then that track comes along and 'hey, cool, sophisticated and energetic at the same time, justfication for using computers in music'.To this day the dance and electronic music that I like has some sophisticated organic layer at center stage, preferably designed by a real composer instead of a tone deaf beat poet. Layo & Bushwacka!, Thomas Newman, Underworld, Photek.Interesting. We come back to our roots. Maybe we really should check out this opera thing.

CrzyC1414779017 Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 I remember when I was in college I had this aerobics intructor that I did theatre with and all of her classes were set to music from musicals and operas that had been remixed with a dance beat...wish I could remember her name.
