Mike and Fellow Vocalisters
I am not in a contest with your opinions about opera. The ideas I have stated are not mine but those of the most respected minds in the analysis the opera genre. It is very easy to select examples that support your claims, what ever they are, but I am only attempting to put in perspective the basic concepts that have given rise to the development of the operatic form and its basic elements.
I respect your opinions but I must put them in perspective with the opinions of the many critic who have gone on before us.
Please accept my ideas as I do your yours. I will no longer discuss this issue on this site.
Regards -- Lloyd W. Hanson, DMA Professor of Voice, Vocal Pedagogy School of Performing Arts Northern Arizona University Flagstaff, AZ 86011
