The world is a stage...
Wigs, makeup and amazing voices were some of the memorable things we learned about the baroque period in todays class. By far, I enjoyed the clip from the movie "Farinelli" the most! It was hard to believe that such a high pitch singing voice was coming from a man. It was a little disturbing to find out the way in which a "castroti" was able to hit that high pitch. I couldn't believe how elaborate and colorful the stage and theater was back in that time period. I also would love to see the movie "Amadeus" sometime soon. My Grandfather was crazy about Mozart and always encouraged me to listen to his music. It would be interesting to learn more about his life and music. I have to admit, I'm a little intimidated to write the three page paper on Opera...
