	Opera is expensive. It doesn't make money--you put money in, and you get ''Opera'' out. And ballet shoes are very expensive. Very few things are more expensive than ballet shoes; violins just happen to be one of them. If you think there is passion onstage, you should see backstage. Everybody hates everybody and half the crew won't speak to each other.		Opera is expensive. It doesn't make money--you put money in, and you get ''Opera'' out. And ballet shoes are very expensive.

The only difference between Opera and madness is (according to [[Salzella]]) better scenery. The plot doesn't make any sense and relies entirely on people not recognizing their servants and husbands, mostly because the plot is just there to fill in time until the next song.

Opera is expensive. It doesn't make money--you put money in, and you get ''Opera'' out. And ballet shoes are very expensive. Very few things are more expensive than ballet shoes; violins just happen to be one of them. If you think there is passion onstage, you should see backstage. Everybody hates everybody and half the crew won't speak to each other.

Whistling on stage, live flowers, wearing new makeup on opening night and yellow are Bad Luck, but more horrific than these is stopping a performance: THE SHOW MUST GO ON[[Multiple exclamation marks|!!!]]

Operas are performed mainly at the [[Opera House]] in [[Ankh-Morpork]], in [[Bugarup]], in [[Genua]] and [[Brindisi]] as well as in various [[Dwarfs|Dwarfish]] and [[Trolls|Trollish]] venues.

== Annotations ==

=== Ring ===
[[Salzella]] sells ''The Ring of the Nibel.....'' a bit short when he calls it "Three days of gods screaming at each other". The Roundworld {{wp|The_Ring_of_the_Nibelung|counterpart}} has '''four''' days of gods screaming at each other, for a running time of 15 to 17 hours depending on the pacing of the conductor.

=== Meistersinger ===
The German {{wp|Nuremberg| city of Nürnberg}} has a rich history in culture and science, particularly astronomy and grand historic architecture, the city of [[Scrote]] less so.
Nürnberg boasts the {{wp|Nuremberg_Castle|Nürnberg Castle}}, [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heilig-Geist-Spital_(N%C3%BCrnberg) the Hospital of the Holy Spirit] and several notewothy {{wp|St._Lorenz_(N%C3%BCrnberg)| cathedrals}}. Scrote merely boasts.

Several Nazi rallies were held in Nürnberg. Scrote has at least something to be proud of.

=== Lohenshaak ===
May be a take on the opera ''Lohengrin'', but going downmarket by many notches, it also calls to mind the B-52's dance-floor filling stomper ''Love Shack''.
