  • Anna's suggestions are great! I started listening to opera when i was 14years old. I am now 16years old, and i totally agree with Anna here. In my opinion, the young people of today do not see opera for its true musical beauty(this is certainly the case in Scotland where I live)

    To be honest with you all, I don't see how people can honestly watch Netrebko's videos and not just fall in love with her voice. I certainly did!

    God bless! Viva Anna Netrebko!

  • its right. i would say especially "La Bohème"... Such a good one. Not too long.

  • My own personal introduction to opera was a compilation album of Maria Callas. My entire family while I was growing up were opera aficionados so I resisted it a bit. Certainly my peers made that easier too. (I was born '84) But yeah, anything Maria Callas would make one love opera– just by her sheer virtuosity. After that, Mozart: Don Giovanni or Die Zauberflöte. But I followed my family's fanaticism really after hearing Rossini. So, best place to start, Rossini! (L'Italiana in aligeri)

  • "I sink.... "hehehe in istead of i think

    composes... COMPOSERS!

    hehe, shes so cute!

  • @HijadelaIglesia Definitely.

  • The best opera for young people to start out with? That's easy. Pagliacci! Short, very excellent opera! I'm 24. Pagliacci was my first!

  • I love her in La Boheme.

  • im 19 and your the best singer in the world to me anna

  • I'm only 13, and I admit, you ARE my favorite soprano. I've seen 7 operas so far and you've been in 2 of them. L'Eliser D'Amore, and Don Pasquale, which i actually saw last night. when act 1 scene 2 came and i saw u, i wanted to cry. i adore u, u are funny, and u have a great voice. ymnetsa! bravo

  • There is an easy test - Callas' 53 Tosca under de Sabata - if someone resists this he is either not ready for Opera and he ll never be ready for it.

    Also Verdi's Traviata (melody so strong that you get infected by it)
