She sounds like Joanna Newsom. Who knows what I'm talking about?

[NinjaOutfitInTheWash]

I find Tom Waits quite sexy and enigmatic.

@Od1n90 Glad your English is good, my German really sucks but I had a good time visiting Germany once.

@slessorpr I meant Romanticism in the sense of the movement. In that sense might be more classicistic, since it's satirizes Italian opera. In contrast to that even the most stripped down version of the 3 Penny Opera is Epic Theatre. Always glad to show-off. Thanks for giving me an opportunity. :-)

@CliveGotham Thank you 4 putting me on the right track Clive. It is very interesting to hear the source material 4 'The Black Rider' was Romantic. 'The Beggar's Opera' was rather romantic too, but with more morality than romance overrall. Always glad to be taught new things, TY again.

Ya, I know this of course, Clive. But if you'll make yourself very familiar with Burrough's own tragedy you'll understand why this tale is particularly powerful for him. Incredibly intense and wonderful performances all around - I have the thing by heart, I think.
