Human voice is the most refined of all musical instruments. It has tremendous capability of conveying emotion. But this emotion cannot be taken out of context, because passion over nothing is ridiculous. Hence the opera with its fantastic plots, unreal characters, and out-of-life situations. Opera is escapism. But the whole art is nothing but escapism, not opera alone.Unconvinced? Watch Farinelli, the scene where he sings the second Handel area. Good stereo sound will help.
