Angel of Music

It's first time to watch an opera, and the play was breathtaking. I’m happy to be able to use this word. I learned the word of adjective by a teacher when we visited the Grand Canyon. I felt as if I was almost soluble in the landscape. I forgot to breathe. Then again, in the opera, I was attracted by actors’ voices, acts and a stage set. The play took away my breath.

I’ve watched a DVD of The Phantom of the Opera once, and I knew the plot roughly. People often say it’s especially difficult to understand the lyrics of English songs, because sometimes such lyrics are casual form which is confused for English learners, and more significant reason is that singers sing irregularly! So I hardly listened to actors’ singing. However, I surely enjoyed the play. If I didn’t enjoy it, why I wrote an article about it? I can’t understand it clearly but my knowledge helps and supported me. I want to watch the phantom and read the novel in Japan. I send my hand claps again!

Hey, Natsuki!
I was also speechless during the opera. When I sat on the seat and watching the play, I got goosebumpps alot because of their marvelous songs! I also couldn't understand what they sung at all, but I think the most important thing to watch the musical is to be involved!!
