A Bánk Bán az egyik legnépszerűbb opera Magyarországon. Ez egy tinédereknek (pontosoabban középiskolásoknak) szóló előadás volt, a jegyeket is sokkal olcsóbban tudtuk megvenni, 300 Forintért. Mindenkinek azt mondtuk fantasztikus volt, bár néha egyáltalán nem értettük mi van. :D
It is one of the most popular operas in Hungary, called Bánk Bán. It was a show for teenagers (more precisely for secondary schools), so we could buy (much) cheaper tickets (it cost only 300 Ft, about 1 $). We said it had been awesome; but we didn't understand it sometimes. xd
Just seen Sour Angelica by Puccini at Oslo Opera House. Fortunately we hade a intro course about the play in advance, without that we would not have understand the play at all. The singing is not my cup of tea. I will probably never go to an Opera one more time. Tried it, did not love it, but you never know untill you try.
I actually got a bit of a bonus since they showed two one right after the other. The first one was billed as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "The Impre$ario" and the second was Gian Carlo Menotti's "The Medium".
When I watched the first one I felt disappointed since of the fact that it started off a bit weird, especially when you consider the oinking pigs. From there even though the program said it was in English it seemed like the auditioning divas were contesting each other in a language other than English.
But the second one was amazing and that wasn't just since Lauryn was playing a role in it. The voices were dynamite and filled the room, there was the equal amount of passionate feelings, a bit of spooky horror and of course the tragic atmosphere. The best person in my opinion was the guy who played Toby who is a mute since although he didn't say a word throughout the show his part was played so exquisitely that you didn't need him to talk to drive the show.
Unlike most movies and a few other shows "The Medium" was fast-paced and didn't slack. All the right elements were included to capture the mind while I wouldn't mind seeing another production that is just as captivating as this raw show.
