4.0 out of 5 stars Opera Cliff's Notes with Humor!, February 13, 2000
This review is from: All the Great Operas (in 10 minutes) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is a good resource for people who are new to opera and a good laugh for anyone! It is especially helpful if you want to sound like you know a lot about opera without having to go to one. Of course, after you watch, you'll probably want to see them all! A friend gave this video to me for my birthday. It makes a great gift!

5.0 out of 5 stars You, too, can enjoy opera..., October 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: All the Great Operas (in 10 minutes) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This video is hilarious. In a brief overview of the plots of a large handful of the most famous operas ever, the narrator has you in stitches and also leaves you with a sense of just how many people bite the dust, enter into incestuous relationships, murder, steal, and crossdress, among other things, within the few hours that you might spend at the opera. And they do all this while singing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Opera is not a dirty word!, January 23, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: All the Great Operas (in 10 minutes) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
As a music educator (of Jr. High students), I have found this video to be the perfect way to introduce kids to opera. The irreverent approach (Pythonesque) appeals to kids who tend to believe opera is not something worthwhile. The humorous fast-paced synopses work extremely well for our MTV reared children. Many students also learn for the first time that operas might actually have a plot, and not just music. Time and again I have seen this video tear down the inherent resisitence to opera found among many young people, and even stimulate an interest in seeing an opera. The format is also thoroughly entertaining for adult music afficionados--who don't take themselves too seriously-- including an opera lover like myself.
