Why you should love opera PART 1 - Hvorostovsky, Fleming, Domingo, Abdrazakov, von Otter, Dessay....

To me it is absolutely baffling how anyone can survive without loving opera. I was thinking long and hard and then I had an epiphany: The reason why opera is not at least as popular as Taylor Swift or Beyonce is that you haven’t realized yet that opera provides you with the right music for each and every emotion you could ever have in your daily life. You are in love? Good for you!!! Opera is here for you! You want revenge? Well, opera has the right aria for you to enjoy your rage even more! Your parents are the worst? You can fire your therapist and instead listen to - well, you will see in part two which will be online next week.

In this video lets talk about 5 basic emotions in connection with love which are:
1) you simply are in love, with the subsections a) crazy love beyond any norms and boundaries and b) the innocent first love of young adults
2) You love but your love is not answered
3) you got caught cheating on your partner and feel terrible or are at least worried about the consequences
4) you suspect your partner to be cheating and are jealous
5) you are in love with someone who has moved on and is no longer romantically interested in you
