A few years back I decided to try and understand why people go to and listen to opera. After all, it's only been around since 1600. I found out that for a couple of centuries it was the leading form of entertainment in Italy. Also, if you grew up when I did, many cartoons, movies, etc. have operatic themes and music, not just What's Opera Doc. Also, found out that the quarterback of our high school Football team ended up as a principle with the Metropolitan Opera in the 80's and 90's. In high school he was the last person you would have ever thought would end up doing that.
Anyway, it's free, it's got subtitles, so check it out.
