Re: live musicals/plays/operas that make you cry

[(Anonymous)]

since you've mentioned opera, oof, so many of my faves are the tragedies..

to give a few examples:
Rigoletto's aria to the nobles that had kidnapped his daughter, not knowing she was his daughter. (actually, that whole scene gets me in the worst way)
"Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate" from Nabucco
Madama Butterfly's death aria. (Fuck Pinkerton and the little horse he rode in on)
Mimi's death aria in La Boheme (and unlike Rent, she does not have a miraculous recovery)
"Ai nostri monti ritorneremo" from Il trovatore (ugh, by this point, the opera has ripped your heart to shreds because everyone has hit the woobie status hard)
"Gran Dio!...morir sì giovane" from La traviata (she's been reunited with her true love ..oh, wait, she's dead)
"Vesti la giubba" from Pagliacci (because what comes after hits you with a sledgehammer right in your heart)

For musicals:
Final Storm and Disappear - Secret Garden
can I just list the entire end of Man of La Mancha?

seconding those operas I was actually sobbing during some of them. It was embarrassing

opera anon:

Oh, I hear you big time.
And I forgot two arias - "E lucevan le stelle" and "Vissi d'arte". Tosca, you've killed my heart at this point.
And there's a really good animated video of "E lucevan"

Wow that was beautiful, disturbing but beautiful

Operas are really great, I started to listen (and appreciate) them, like, two years ago and it's been great, plus I get really happy everytime I recognize some famous arias and melodies

Opera anon:
I know! I had randomly caught the video on a classic arts channel and fell in love with it. There's a cute one for Traviata but I blank on the aria's name.

I know there's an aria in Lucia Di lammamor that is heartbreaking. It's right after Lucia's wedding. (Forgetting the soprano's name at the moment, but there's a production where you honestly think the singer has snapped)

Thanks for the tip i will look it up!!!

Do you have favorite composer or opera you think is essential to know or just something you like?

Opera anon:

Partial to Verdi and Puccini. Wagner is good but heavy.

For Verdi, I recommend Aida, Rigoletto, Trovatore, Traviata. For Puccini, Madama Butterfly, Tosca, Turnadot.

Others I suggest are Cav/Pag (they're two acts each and usually paired together. Cav is the opera they use in Godfather 3), Barber of Seville.

Those are a few I've seen and enjoyed.

opera anon:
Ah, found the soprano in question for that Lucia scene I mentioned above:
Gianna Rolandi. The vid on youtube is broken into three parts (same user has all three so you should be good)
Here's part 1 of 3:
