Why Society Needs Opera Now More Than Ever: A Reminder of the Power of Dedication, Emotion and Humanity

​Opera is a timeless art form that has stood the test of time for centuries. It is a powerful medium that can evoke deep emotions and inspire individuals to reach their full potential. In today's society, where cookie-cutter Kardashians and talentless insta-famous celebrities dominate the media, the need for opera has never been greater.

One of the reasons why society needs opera now more than ever is because it is a reminder of the beauty of hard work and dedication. A master level opera vocalist has spent years honing their craft, dedicating themselves to perfecting their craft. They have worked tirelessly to hone their skills and achieve a level of mastery that is truly awe-inspiring.

Opera is also a powerful reminder of the human experience. The stories and emotions portrayed in operas are universal, connecting individuals from all walks of life. In a world where people often feel isolated and disconnected, opera provides a powerful reminder of our shared humanity.

Another reason why society needs opera now more than ever is because it allows individuals to escape the noise of the world and lose themselves in the beauty of the music. It is a form of art that can take us away from our everyday worries and remind us of the beauty and wonder of the world.

Experience the craft of a master level opera vocalist and the years of dedication it takes to achieve, it's truly an inspiring and emotionally intelligent experience.

Get ready for an epic drama on the field as the NFL playoffs kick off today - it's like an opera with high stakes and thrilling performances!

Living the opera also means looking at life through opera glasses to extend your world view towards experiencing the familiar in new ways. Here's how opera fans can better relate to the NFL to become part of the thrills and excitement. 

​As an opera fan, it's no secret that sports may not be your go-to form of entertainment. But fear not, because the NFL playoffs are about to prove that there's a lot more to relate to in football than you might think. In fact, today’s playoff games between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs at 4:30pm and the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles at 8:15pm are essentially just like an opera.
​Think about it: both opera singers and football players have to perform under pressure in front of a live audience. They both have to put on a show and make sure to put their best foot forward. And just like how opera singers have to hit those high notes and sustain them, football players have to make sure they're hitting those touchdowns and sustains those yards. Both opera singers and football players have to be in top physical shape to perform at their best.

But what really makes the NFL playoffs just like an opera is the drama. Just like how operas have dramatic plot twists and turns, the playoffs are filled with unexpected moments that will have you on the edge of your seat. And let's not forget about the passionate fans. Football fans are just as passionate as opera fans, cheering and booing at all the right moments.

Opera fans, it's time to put aside your preconceived notions about sports and give the NFL playoffs a chance. You might just be surprised at how much you'll enjoy it.

So, grab your popcorn, your opera glasses and enjoy the show!

Where: Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri
When: Saturday, January 21 Start Time: 3:00 p.m. ET; live coverage begins at 4:30 p.m. ET with Football Night In America

Mystic Side Opera is helping brides discover the opera to help create this ultra-unique themed wedding.

The opera-inspired luxury wedding theme is quickly becoming one of the most popular and sought-after wedding trends of 2023, particularly in Europe. This unique and elegant theme combines the grandeur and drama of the opera with the intimacy and romance of a wedding, making it the perfect choice for couples looking for a truly unforgettable experience.

One of the reasons why the opera-inspired theme is so perfect for a wedding is that it allows couples to truly personalize their event. They can choose from a wide range of operas, from classic favorites like
"Carmen," "La Traviata" and "The Barber of Seville" or a more modern and opera-inspired production like "The Phantom of the Opera," (but be forewarned opera-enthusiasts will let you know that it's not really an opera) This allows couples to tailor the theme to their own tastes and interests, making their wedding truly unique and special.

When planning an opera-inspired wedding, it is important to start by choosing the right venue. An opera house or a grand ballroom would be the perfect setting to create the ambiance of an opera performance. The decoration should be elegant and fitting for the opera-inspired theme, consider using a lot of candles and red roses, these elements will help to set the scene and create a romantic atmosphere.

When it comes to the engagement party and rehearsal dinner, you can also incorporate the opera-inspired theme. For the engagement party, you can have a mini-opera performance or a singing competition among friends and family, for the rehearsal dinner, you can have a masquerade ball, where guests can dress up in costumes and masks.

For the music, you can choose a mix of classical opera tracks and modern pop songs that have been used in recent opera productions, for example, you can play "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's Turandot during the ceremony and "All I Ask of You" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera (again, not actually and opera) during the first dance.

When it comes to the reception, you can continue the opera-inspired theme by serving a range of sophisticated and elegant cocktails, such as a Prosecco and Elderflower Cocktail, or a Classic Martini. And as for food, you can go for a classic French or Italian cuisine, such as beef wellington, risotto or pasta, and of course, don't forget to serve Caviar on blinis as an appetizer.

However, one of the concerns of many couples is the cost of an opera-inspired wedding. But there are ways to make it affordable without sacrificing the elegance and grandeur of the theme. One way is to opt for a smaller, more intimate wedding, with a smaller guest list. This will help to reduce costs while still allowing you to create a truly special and unique event.

Another way to keep costs down is to opt for a DIY approach. You can make your own decorations and favors, and even do your own makeup and hair. This will help to cut down on costs without sacrificing the elegance and glamour of the theme.

The opera-inspired luxury wedding theme is a unique and elegant choice for couples looking for a truly unforgettable experience. With the right planning, it can be a perfect and affordable option for any budget. Remember to choose the right venue, the perfect music and create a personalized menu that reflects the couple's taste. With these tips and suggestions, you can create a truly magical and memorable event that your guests will be talking about for years to come.
