Today we talked about Opera. We learned about the castration of young boys that took place in Italy. This was due to preserving their young voices for Opera later on.
Opera began in Italy 400 years ago in Florence. Opera was considered the ultimate art piece, combining music and drama all in one. Monteverdi was a very famous Opera composer. He had created a secret room where he performed his pieces all into the night and it wasn't even discovered until four hundred years later.
Monteverdi also had an all male Opera and used Renaissance instruments that don't even exist anymore.
VIDEO GAME IDEA
A video game idea based on the Opera- Madame Butterfly.
It would begin by choosing the characters on the home screen, one of which is Madame Butterfly. Players would go through the game playing out the scenes of the Opera and making real life choices that Madame Butterfly faced.
The antagonist of the game would be Madame Butterfly's ex, the one who left her and only returned to tell her about his new lover. At the end of the game players would have the option to either kill Madame Butterfly, like in real life, or face her ex and duel him. Resulting in the death of him and forever changing Madame Butterfly's life.
