Hoping for the best

Opera is one of those things that I thought one needed to grow up around with in order for one to truly enjoy it. I have heard small clips of opera, but had never quite listened too much to say that I even know what opera is about. The few times I attempted to listen to opera my ears were bombarded by the mournful sounds of a male voice and the screeching sound of a female voice. I could not decipher what language it was being sung in and it could of very well been English but I understood nothing. Much like the author of the title I turned it off almost immediately and I have not attempted to listen to opera again. I relate to the author of the article since, also to this day, I neither enjoy or fully understand baseball and we had similar experiences with opera, but hopefully just as she learned to appreciate and love opera I hope to be expose to this seemingly wonderful form of art. I am now looking forward to the opera just a bit more.
