There are an awful lot of tragic themes in operas!
Which is why the goofy ones like The Magic Flute are rather fun!
I have had a problem forever...with my pc and it's sound card. Tonight it seems I'm overcoming it in some aspects. I'm having a ball just listening to music. It amazes me to listen to opera, classical and hear the nuances the crisp clear beauty. Mozart and the obvious genius. Then of course, I go off to some LeeAnn Rimes...:-)
