Opera vs Poem

"When people like it (Opera),they could have been die for it,but when they dont,they still respected it"---Sir O.Henry

I am the one who mad about opera. Opera for me,is such a precious thing. In order to get an act in opera,i like doing vocalising. Vocalising means singing in Operatic/cantabile/classic styles. It requires a good technique to produce good quality and strong voices. By vocalising, I able interpreting the opera scores in my own style. It is very hard to understand the scores,because instead of many of them wrote in latin or italic,they have several emotions divines on it,the singers should bring such as emotions appeal into their performance,so the audience will understand trully the meaning of the pieces. That, requires sight reading ability to read the scores,imagining the unreal note at different key is the key . The sight reading itself, depends on the composer's character, creating a scores.Some are very calm, some very emotional and some are very melancholic.So in order to perform good interpretation of opera,i did a lot of practices in vocalising.

Based on my interest in Opera, i've been take part in many musical events. So far, i've been participating on Singing in Wisconsin competitions, Mozart Competition 2003,St. peter's Choirs and Royal Music conservatory. While i'm in the States, I achieved gold medal for vocal perfomance (opera category) of Wisconsin Music Affair 2003, The stars gold medal for musical interpreting and the gold medal for vocal jazz performance.Another achievement is,the roling play as Dorabella on Minessota Opera sesons "The Magic Flute" composed by Mozart.Those are very ingenious experiences of singing. I really hope i can improve my ability more.

Meanwhile, contradict from being very 'operatic', I really hate read a poem. I hate it because it takes a lot of effort to understand the poem.Indeed, it is not quite different from reading the liberettos (opera's lyrics) ,but still ,poetry is such a confusing.

I have expereinced on reading Edgar Allan Poe and Henry Thoreau 's poem. It all ended up with confusion. I can't read the poet's mind in his work.I'm so numb in interpreting the emotion occurs in their wriitng.Simply, i have no sense on it.To me, It is very hard to be able sense the word in every poem.

Based on my self description above, i fully conclude myself as a person who like to be melancholic through the musical pieces not through the art of poetry/literatures.

Good work, thanks for posting.
