Opera Representation in Video Games

Welcome back, everybody!

So sorry about the delay again, I had a lot of technical difficulties these past few weeks with video editing programs, but I was finally able to finish the video and I'm really excited to show it to you all!

#Opera is always a style of music that everybody knows about, but there's quite a lot of history to it that not as many people know about! It was always something I was never too interested in during my Undergrad and Graduate studies, but I came across a book titled "When the Fat Lady Sings. Opera History as it Ought to Be Taught" by David W. Barber, and I got interested almost immediately!

But that got me thinking, what kind of representation of opera is there in #videogames? I was amazed by how much representation there actually was after doing my research! So that's what I decided to tackle today! I hope you all enjoy it!

Here are the references I used for today's video! Check them out if you get the chance!
