Advantages: Great singing and lively performances Disadvantages: Live recording noises! Quite expensive
If anyone had told me 4 years ago that I would become a huge opera buff I probably would have laughed in their face! But here I am, spending my money on buying operatic recordings, going to see operas, and singing opera. If you’re looking for an introduction to the world of opera, you won’t find a more perfect introduction than Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro - filled with wonderfully drawn characters and ‘hummable’ Mozart melodies, this was the first opera that really caught my interest and is still my favourite.
---Synopsis---
The opera is set in Spain (but is sung in Italian!) and the action takes place over the course of one day - the wedding day of Figaro and Susanna, both servants to the Count and Countess Almaviva. Unfortunately for the couple, the Count fancies Susanna and, as well as stalling ...
Advantages: An apartment where Mozart lived and worked Disadvantages: Limited artifacts and displays
Mozart had a number of residences whilst in Vienna. Not many are still standing, most were destroyed during WWll. There is, however, one that survived, a small apartment in a terraced building in a small narrow street within the Domgasse behind St Stephens Cathedral where Mozart lived from September, 1787.
The period in which Mozart lived in this apartment were said to be the happiest for the composer. This was the peak of his musical career. He was successful and had popularity. He was married to the woman he loved, Constanza and had two adorable children (four others did not survive).
The apartment is open to the public as a museum, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday. It is now referred to as Figaro House as the opera of the same name was composed here. To visit the museum, we took advantage of a guided tour in English which ...
Advantages: Looks great and stylish Disadvantages: Expensive to get fixed if anything goes wrong - but it is a classic
The Nissan Figaro car is a classic. It is elegant, retro, and definately stylish. They come in various colours - manly pastel colours such as green, blue, topaz, and grey - but can be coloured to every persons requirements as I have seen pinks, reds, violets and metallic ones. The insides are gorgeous, you can still find the original accessories (such as feet mats and cup holders). You can even have the insides designed in more details, such as coloured lining on the seats, and there are many great places to get them serviced and looked at (even bought), and my favourite is www.autosupplyuk.com in Brighton and they did an amazing job on my car and really can help you out if you need to ask anything.
It runs really well, winter and summer, and doesn't gussel up alot of petrol, although there is one problem I have had a couple of times ...
