Hi guys----- now there are some folk who say that Operatic music is cold, sterile and lacks human feeling...Well take a look at this then...... It's Andre' Rieu with Brazilian Soprano Carmen Monarcha at the open air stage in Maastricht............ The piece is called "Habanera" and is a song about love taken from the Opera Carmen......In particular note his eyes at 1:55 and 4.00.........and see his bow goes from horizontal in the beginning to VERTICAL !!!! at the end...Make of that what you will........... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icJRTdpS2pU .........PS}--- go to Full Screen for best effects.....ENJOY !!!

Am I missing something here? ( culture probably ) - but is this not a motorcycle forum? I don't see Royal Enfield misfire issues discussed on Pavarotti's forum ...

Andre Rieu – opera?! Not in a month of Ring cycles! Maybe his bow is in a ‘VERTICAL!!!’ orientation because he’s playing the ‘e’ string. But I have to agree with Wayne – even though I'm an opera fan (at least selectively!) - isn’t there a time and a place?

Ah-ha !!---------- I wondered how long it'd be before this question was asked..LoL !!....OK chaps, I claim the 5th and also the fact that I've entered my thread within the SOCIAL/OTHER heading..Now I would say that to be most appropriate, especially the "OTHER" part.....Hello WAYNE & PRESTO------I hear what you say gentlemen but in the spirit of fairness and balance I would ask that you have a quiet word with COWPAT ( Bullet rear light ) and ABE ( Left hand electric box ) re}--- the availability of the "TECHNICAL" main thread heading rather than posting in here.....Quid Pro Quo ?? etc..

Just a thought}--- it's a free country so you don't have to read this thread, nor post on here if you feel untoward about the subject matter.....But let us not fall out over it....Clearly some are unhappy so, as thread "owner" I now call an end to it.. But finally, for PRESTO here is Andre'Rieu in subdued mood, "not" doing an operatic piece........Enjoy !!}----- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJC-_j3SnXk -----

What a delightfully tangential posting away from all the I've mended something that was not broken but now it is because I did not know what I was doing, what do I do about it threads
As Alan says - if you've no interest in a thread don't read it
