>still, i believe opera works best live.
Oh it does. I like listening to arias in isolation but I could never sit at home and listen to an entire opera on a CD. I'd get bored. It would end up on in the background like an episode of Holby City. My attention span gets worse and worse.
My experience at the Royal Opera House (London) wasn't the best. I can't see very far at the best of times and the place is much too big. Smaller performances can be so much better.
