Despite being way into amazing singing in solo and in groups, and really liking fabulous costuming, I *hate* opera. I believe my summation in a previous post was "a bunch of idiots in love who fail to own their own feelings, then whine about it at high volume."

And no, it's not because I haven't seen the right one, or the right production. I'm sure there are exceptions here, too, but nothing to justify the genre.
