The most exciting part is the ending. Usually the music and the singing conclude at a fever pitch, with power and crescendo. Then comes the fun part. If it is a really good performance the audience will go wild. Everyone will jump to their feet and aside from the thunderous applause, you’ll hear screams of “bravo.” The star performers will make curtain calls and each time the opera house will erupt anew. It is not unusual for people to start throwing flowers and bouquets on the stage. This spontaneous combustion of enthusiasm can go on for a good ten minutes or more.
Well, are you ready for your first opera? You’ve already gone dirt biking , river rafting, and sky diving so it’s time to experience a different kind of thrill. You’ll find that opera can also actually be fun. And, your root canal can wait!
