This Is Part 1 Of My Tragic Alphabet That Highlights The Most Drama-Licious Opera Death Scenes Through The Ages

ADVERTISEMENT

I have always wanted to make an alphabet about opera… now don’t be like that, there is nothing more drama-licious than opera!

In order for them to sing those unforgettable, heartbreaking arias that take your stomach on a ride in the clouds, they create a character that resonates with everybody… and they kill them! It’s really beautiful in the most macabre of ways. So I dedicate this alphabet to all those tragic death scenes and their victims through the ages.

If you would like to follow the drama see more on my Instagram.

Overly simplistic synopsis of the operas. That's what I like about it. Hopefully, will get non-opera goers interested in seeing a production.

These are great, but Kaiser von Atlantis was written around 1943 and PREMIERED in 1975. Ullmann died in Auschwitz...

Iris, Mascagni. 1899 is a little off. it starts with " the daughter of a blind man" and continues with " her father sees her". HA! when bad things happen, her father miraculously gains sight?! what the c**p?!
