Sexy Opera

Now, I'm willing to bet that you guys wouldn't actually put those two words together. Ever. But opera, much like every other style of art- music, painting, sculpture, dance, pottery- is becoming more and more sexualized. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but there are those who mourn the loss of opera as the last great bastion of true art.

Then again, who can argue with this?

I've always been the sort of person who's just addicted to one musical artist, and I'll love whatever they do, anything they do. And recently I've discovered that there are people, difficult as it might be to believe, that might only like one song by an artist and never heard anything else by them. And then they'll have the audacity to say they're fans. I'm sorry, but if the only song you've ever heard by Regina Spektor is Fidelity, then you are not a fan. It's simply impossible.

Speaking of ReSpekt, she's on CBC radio right now so I'll leave you dear readers.
