Check out the last scene of Mozart's Don Giovanni. My fave of all time. Pure drunk-at-the-opera-on-Saturday-night stuff. Opera was and is for everyone. Working people would go to the opera in Mozart's time, same as the aristos. Very boisterous.
In the last scene, the statue of a guy that Don Giovanni has killed comes to life and invites him to supper--in Hell. Super basso profundo singing, snazzy costumes, smoke, fire, the works. Finally, a bunch of demons come up from Hell and drag Don Gionvanni away. Talk about entertainment.
Sounds great . Im gonna have a couple nips , turn the lights down and try to really immerse myself into the experience tonight after a hard day's work Thanks for the recommendation !
