I never really thought of this before - but does Opera even exist in DR?

Most musically-orientated things in DR point to Western Music roots, but I don't think I've seen mention of Opera. Would be cool to see something in game as I sing for a regional opera company in RL and would have lots of suggestions - heh!

Just thinking out loud...

Also, we need more titles!

Not sure if this is what you mean, but we have plays up in Theren. The play scheduled for December 1st, Nissa's Choice, is a musical. I was thinking of making it an opera type, but I really needed to have dialogue too. so it is more on the lines of a serious musical.

There is no reason someone could not rp an opera type singer in one of the theatres. I would think it would be kind of fun, and would welcome such a one in our Theren Players group. Maybe it would encourage a playwright out there to write an opera.

So, anyway, that was my two lirums.

<<I was thinking of making it an opera type, but I really needed to have dialogue too.>>

I could swear that there are operas with some dialogue (heck, with more dialogue than some musicals. Les Mis comes to mind as a musical with what, only one spoken line? A quick trip to ask.com turned up Carmen as an opera with some spoken dialogue).

I dunno how much dialogue, though. So you're likely talking about more than what it had.

I'm getting weirdly nitpicky, though - I know what ya meant. :)
