Operetta Tunes on my mind
by smorg | Sep 15 '09
A few lighter but no less catchy tunes from the operetta even pop music fans can hum to.

Thanks so much again for good wishes! :o) I think it'll be a while yet before I can hang at Epinions as regularly as before. Been meaning to write a few CD reviews here, but just haven't got time at the moment. There's light at the end of the tunnel, though, I think. :o)

Hope October is looking good your way. Thanks very much again! :o)

Cheerio,
Smorgy

Dear Smorgy,
I do hope life balances out for you soon with a nice place to live, means of support financially, and a pleasant future ahead. Many hugs, and quite a few prayers. -- Telynor

I'm sorry you've been kicked around by life, and you can take refuge wherever you want. And survival takes precedence over epinions! Hope things are going better.

Thanks very much for stopping by! :o) Sorry I haven't been around here much. Been having a rough summer. Lost my job and then apartment and spent the last 2 months sort of moving around. Hope to get back to reviewing stuff here when everything is stable again, though. :o)

I didn't care much for operetta at first, though once I gave it a good go I have to say that there is some really gorgeous music in the subgenre! :o) Sometimes I wonder what Offenbach or Lehar would compose if they're alive today. Lots of good wacky stuff to make a satire about! ;o)

Hope everyone is well and having a good September. Thanks again!

Smorgy :o)

It's taken me a long time to tolerate operetta, but I confess that Les Contes des 'Offman and Die Fledermaus are favourites of mine. Great list, I'm going to have to look up some of these soon! -- Telynor

most operetta music repellant, though you do have the two tunes I find tolerable (Offenbach's Barcarolle and Lehar's Magic Widow Waltz) on your list.
