On
Saturday, January 12, at La Place de L'Opéra de Marseille, more than 10,000 people
participated in L’Operaclameur,
singing Libiamo from La Traviata along with the opera
chorus.
It sounds like they had fun, but it also proves that more is not necessarily better :-)
The last time I heard the Libiamo live it was being sung by two opera students at a new restaurant in Cuzco. They gave us free champagne too.
ReplyDeleteI bet it sounded a LOT better than this. We used to go to an "opera night" at a little Italian restaurant in Old Town. Crap buffet food, and the piano was out of tune, but the singers were good. They wanted us to sing along with Libiamo. Of course, the average opera lover doesn't know the words. So we are all singing " Libiamo, libiamo, la la la la la laaaaaaaa..."
