Dream – Initiation – Desire and Impulse<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In a way, an opera is the opposite of a mystery film. (That movie that you are not supposed to tell the end to your friends, so as not to spoil the experience.) In most opera one wants to know the story beforehand\u00a0so that we can focus on how the plot and the music may be presented by each company.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s why I think it’s nice to have access to the whole story online, so even if one can’t understand every word the singers are delivering on performance, we can still appreciate the choices of the director, the emotion in the voices and the development of the characters.<\/span><\/p>\n

This scene works very well on performance, as comic relief inside the opera. Out of context it generated much polemic and confusion. I decided to restrict access to the video from the general public. If you want to watch it, please introduce yourself and request a password.
