I can't get into it either. I remember studying Dido and Aeneas in A-Level music, but even then I couldn't bring myself to want more exposure to the genre. Maybe in time something will creep into my consciousness and change my mind, but it hasn't happened yet. I’m with you on the whole Opera question… I can’t get into it either.

They look nice and peaceful on that pic, but I suspect they're a pair of hellraisers! Our two still chase each other around, but they're 5 years old and weight around a stone each, so it's not quiet!

I was left awestuck with jaw utterly dropped - the theatrics, the drama and the musciality of it all won me over completely!!! ...or so I thought...then went to see Madame Butterfly and it was drabbest, sickliest, warbly bilge that I have ever seen. I guess, like in every other genre of music, for every Steely Dan there is a Kajagoogoo...and you only know if you like after you've tried it!
