Dark suit or tux.
At least a button down shirt and nice slacks. A jacket and a tie isn't necessary but would be a nice touch.
As natural
a suite, matching jacket and slacks atleast, shiney shoes with laces, no velcro.
A nice buttoned down shirt with kakhis or black pants and a tie. Wear a blazer if you want to look even more dressy. Men have it easy when dressing for things like this!
tux or suit.
first, silence the cell phone!



dress nice. no jeans, nothing raggedy, no slogan shirts or biker wear. just, you know, job interview nice.
a nice pair of slacks and a god button up shirt

Opera - Regency Era?

During the Regency Era, when did people most attend Operas? Or did they just attend during the Season. And which was the most famous opera house? How much did it cost around...1815?



Opera - Regency Era?opera sheet music



Opera - hugely popular form of entertainment for the Regency upper classes. Though some operas were German and a handful were in English, the prevailing form was the Italian. The typical Regency person’s education included learning at least some Italian in order to enjoy this quintessentially civilized art form. The main place to see/hear opera in London was the King’s Theatre, also known as the Royal Italian Opera House. A season subscription for an opera box could cost as much as £2,500. (Contrast this with the annual salary of Jane Austen’s clergyman father, approximately £150/year, or a private in the army, at just under £18/year.) “The doors opened at six and performances began at seven.” (Hendrickson, Emily. The Regency Reference Book, p. 24.)

The ton would have gone during the Season, to see and be seen, and perhaps gone for supper at the Piazza afterwards.



Opera - Regency Era?shows opera theaterThank you! Report It


You're right in guessing that the most often attended period was the London Season. The London Season coincided with the sitting of Parliament, and began some time after Christmas, running until lat summer (July/August), when it became too hot, and wealthy city inhabitants took to their Summer homes in the countryside, or on vacations on the continent. They would return by late November, in time for Christmas and the start of the new Season.



The most famous opera house was (and still is) undoubtedly the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden. It's competitor, and almost as equally famous and important is the Theatre Royal at Drury Lane.



Theatre admissions were roughly four shillings for the box seats, two for seats in the pit, and one for the gallery.



Hope this helps,



Peace!

Phantom of the Opera the 3 skulls?

I went to see the Phantom of the Opera and at the start when they are selling things from the Paris Opera House, and one of the things the sell are three skulls, I can't work out who the skull's belong to, can anyone tell me please?



Phantom of the Opera the 3 skulls?listen to opera



It is a reference to the very beginning of the play when they are enacting the sale of the estate by auction. In it they are selling props from one of the "Opera houses" many plays, such as lot 664 "a wooden pistol and 3 human skulls" from a performance of Robert de Diable.

Phantom of the Opera?

Who else here thinks the book "The Phantom of the Opera" shouldt've have been made into a musical? I like musicals but just because the book mainly takes place in an opera house does not constitute making it a complete musical. I concede thea actors were great ande everything but it was just so... stupid seeing a story like that acted out like a Disney movie with sporadic singing moments. I rented it once and got through an hour of it. (I'm talking the 2004 version btw) but it just started grating on me watching people sing lines that gave me chills when i read the book. I put the subtitles on and started fast forwarding it reading the words of the songs. That didn't last long obviously. Like I said before, I like musicals, I like Cats and one I don't know the title of but is about New York but you don't adapt a book to a musical, cats wasn't a book before the musical. Also, Erik has little hair so why do i see "pretty boys" with full hair playing his part?



Phantom of the Opera?city opera



You're right, the musical shouldn't have been made into a movie. I never saw the stage version of the musical, but everyone that did said it was amazing. I had the soundtrack when I was in highschool and I really enjoyed it. I think the stage is probably a better medium for the musical than the big screen. The movie was kinda cheesy at points. Visually the movie was stunning, and the acting was goo too, it was just those moments of breaking into song that ruined the somber and romantic mood and took it to the cheesy Disney level.



Phantom of the Opera?performing shows opera theaterHmmm... I think the singing bring much entertainment to the movie and made it more bright and carry on with the plot. I can't imagine how it would be like watching the characters talking for the whole movie. I think Disney is great and brought entertainment to the big screen. Report It


i havent read the book yet , but i didnt enjoy the movie , i didnt finish watching it
im glad it was made into a musical.. i saw the play years ago and LOVED it !!! and it really got me hooked onto the "phantom" and i stilll love that play !!! especially with Michael Crawford as the "phantom" but they shouldnt have made the new movie.. it was supposed to star Antonio Banderas as the 'phantom' that would have been great to have seen him in that role
All of u people who dont think it should have not been made it to a movie need to get a life. its like the best movie in the world. it looks nothing like a disney movie so get over it. oh and by the way movies can be different than books its not all the same. and gerald butler is one of the best actors in the world so shut up about the whole pretty boy thing.



u just cant apperciate good movies!

Who watches passions its like a teen soap opera?passions soap opera



I've been watching sine the beggining. It's stupid but I keep watching everyday. The witchcraft is ok for the most part funny %26amp; all. I just can't stand how they never resolve anything!!!!



Who watches passions its like a teen soap opera?mr messed up opera theater



I love passions and I've been a fan of the show since it started but now that it's on direct tv I can't get to see it. I specifically watched it for the magic and witches twists to it, but then they had to down play the magic and focus more on relationships to bring in an older crowd. All in all it was a nice watch.
i love passions.
The witches is what makes it interesting I loveendora and her mother. Boy i miss timmy. sadly it went off our station can`t watch it anymore. I hated Teresa for a while she was always fate this fate that got sick if it.
i love passions i been watching it for a while



it gets weard with the whitches somethimes but still good
I miss passions

The soap opera show i missed was passions on abc channel 3 is there a way to watch it online?

Passions is an NBC soap, so it's unlikely it was on an ABC channel. Nevertheless, you might try online peer-to-peer networks like TorrentSpy or PirateBay. It's a long shot (and also kinda illegal), but if you're desperate, it's worth a try!

i think you have to pay a small price for it but yea you can watch it online



The soap opera show i missed was passions on abc channel 3 is there a way to watch it online?tickets opera theater



Probably, but why waste time and most likely money. Those soap opera's never change. You'll catch up tomorrow like today never happened. Soap opera's are carefully staged re-runs.
if you want to know what happened i watched it so i could tell you what happen if you want to know just reply back..

Who watched "passions goes bollywood" ? it's a soap opera?

Passions is a soap opera and some of the characters were planning to move to India so one of them fantasized a whole Bollywood extravaganza about moving there and ditching the woman causing them grief. I recorded it, but I'm not sure where it is. None of the characters are Indian, but there were a lot of Bollywood dancers that were brought in for this episode.
