Re: Operas - all text, no music! re: AlternativeUlster in BBC Magazine

   In the March 2024 issue of BBC Magazine,    on pages 50-54, there's yet another opera,    this called Abomination, that's all politics, with    apparently no music, as there's no reference to    the actual music other than saying that    "storytelling is the heart of Irish music";    so it *is* Irish music, in case you're wondering.          Since music is so immaterial to Opera, I wonder    if there should be a specific music with    Opera at all? The audience could wear earbuds    playing their individualized favorite background    music when listening to the recitations so all can   be satisfied with going to the opera!
