    A form of theatre in which all, or at least most, of the lines are sung rather than spoken. They are commonly written in Italian, German, and French. However, there are also Czech, Chinese, Russian, and English operas. Frequently, the three largest roles are given to a soprano, a bass, and a [tenor].
    A soprano is a female singer with the highest [vocal range]. There are, however, many different types of [sopranos], each suited to certain roles.
    A bass is a male singer with the lowest range. An example of a very good bass voice is [Nicolai] Ghiaurov.
    A tenor is a male singer with the highest vocal range. Often, they are the hero of the story and are in love with the [sopranos] character.
    The plots range from a light-hearted comedy such as La [Fille] du Regiment (The Daughter of [the Regiment]) to tragedies such as [Aida] or La [Boheme]. The music is often difficult to sing, though some [arias] are easier than others. I would not recommend attempting to sing any of them without training, however. Contrary to what some people believe, singing opera takes a great deal of work and skill and hitting all those high notes, which many people refer to as shrieking, is certainly not easy.
    If you intend to go to the opera, it is a good idea to read the story first. Whether you have the story in a book or find it online, it tends to be more enjoyable if you know the story. Especially if you arent a great opera fan and are simply going because some one you know wants you to accompany them.

          Fastest browser and lightest one I know of between [IE7] and Firefox. People seem to underrate this browser, its less than 8MB yet manages to hold a bittorent [downloader], email client, [magic wand] features, and endless customization to the interface along with thousands of widgets and themes (skins) you can choose from on their site. Most stuff Firefox has or just added, has been intergrated with Opera for years.

            A superior form of entertainment in which most of the characters lines are sung. Not many young people [like opera], because their brains are so [clogged] by rap and sex that they are unable to appreciate the [dignity] and beauty of opera.
