The Music Of The Most Popular Operas

In Silent Movies, They Tended To Put The Camera Down, And Everybody Walked In Front Of It And Acted, And Then They All Walked Off. Cutting Was Quite Infrequent.

When The Music And The Characters Are Flawlessly Synchronized, The Opera Develops An Emotional Force That Movies And Plays Cannot Match.

In Opera, Everyone's Watching From A Fixed Viewpoint, And That Really Challenges You. Lighting, The Sets, Stage Groupings, The Music-but Doesn't Relate Too Much To Film.

In My View, The Operas Of Carlisle Floyd Will Find A Place In The Permanent Repertoire.

Film Is Shot In Fragments, And The Same Moments Can Be Shot Again And Again Until The Director Is Satisfied.
