Have you heard operas of librettist W.S. Gilbert and the composer Arthur Sullivan? I wasn't familiar with any English opera before, but yesterday I've heard H.M.S. Pinafore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.M.S._Pinafore) which is quite interesting and funny. It is a comic opera! You can listen to the whole thing: http://www.deezer.com/music/monica-sinclair-pro-arte-orchestra-sir-malcolm-sargent/gilbert-sullivan-hms-pinafore-1097779 (http://www.deezer.com/music/monica-sinclair-pro-arte-orchestra-sir-malcolm-sargent/gilbert-sullivan-hms-pinafore-1097779) http://music.yandex.ru/#!/album/166517 (http://music.yandex.ru/#!/album/166517) Or just listen to one track: http://www.deezer.com/music/track/11975195 (http://www.deezer.com/music/track/11975195) What do you think? | (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/H_m_s_pinafore_restoration.jpg/220px-H_m_s_pinafore_restoration.jpg) |
