Have you ever seen live opera?

This can be magical, but very expensive.

I once saw La Traviata in Rome.

It can be dreadful too. Othello in Covert Garden, I walked out. The chorus were better than the principals

@SW-User Shame, you miss out. It’s like Shakespeare. It is designed at school to put you off for life, dry and boring. But when you see it live by a good company you are hooked.

@SW-User i don't doubt this. i went to a hockey game once and i was screaming from the bleachers when seeing it from a screen normally puts me to sleep.
