Dear Princess Sunbutt

Letter 97

Hey Tia,

I couldn’t say this in the opera house because public image is kind of your whole thing, but that was fucking awful. I appreciate you inviting me, I really do, but how the hell can you stand that noise? I genuinely don’t understand it.

I was ready to jump off the balcony after the first act. I've heard more pleasant sounds come from Spike after he accidentally swallowed a plastic ruby. I would have preferred listening to Blueblood talk about himself for three hours. It was pure agony wrapped in wigs and makeup.

Just to be clear, I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at the concept of sound for allowing opera to exist. Sorry for ragging on something you enjoy, I just really needed to get that off my chest.

Love, Anon

Okay, you know that something is down right awful when that is your alternative.

Celestia, at the opera: 'At least I'm a better actor than those ponies.'

Maybe she's so bad, she doesn't recognize bad acting? Or alternatively, if opera is her standard for good acting, that might explain a few things.

Here is a Plot twist Celestia uses ear plugs!

[A Wild Magikarp]

Oof. Brutal, it the honest kind. At least you can say that about Anon, he doesn’t BS anyone, he tells it like it is.

To be fair, I love theater, and I don’t get opera either.

[FanOfMostEverything]

So, Klingon or Vogon?

[TigerCat111]

Okay, it is BAD if you'd rather listen to Blueblood for 3 hours

[Illi]

HUZZAH! The story returns once more!

[Stelarwand030]

I actually like Opera. Its not too bad if you can find the right genre(?) of Opera. I mean seriously some of the notes the singers can hit... OMG!!! Its absolutely amazing what sounds a human throat can produce. I like Opera Arias the most myself.

I can understand Anon's pain, Opera like any performance art is soul crushing if it is not being done right.

THE HORSE-WORDS HAVE RETURNED.

Round two! FIGHT!

I feel like there's no Ok opera. Like it's either a beautiful masterpiece of the power of humanities voice... Or it's a cat giving birth to a moose.

Let’s be fair, if it was Klingon he would be complaining about permanent hearing loss. If it was Vogon, after the first act there would have been no contemplation, he would have already jumped or retreated into a catatonic state

So operas are the redheads of entertainment, is what you're saying.

[SeventhBrony]

9979752 OPEN SECRET, we just never told Anon

[vinyldash23]

OPERA SUUUUUUUCKS.

[ToobertSawk]

I ask only that you watch Amadeus or listen to the Opera the Marriage of Figaro. He explains in the movie that there is no other form of theater that can have five people talking at the same time in a recognizable way, let alone the 40 that Mozart got away with writing in one scene.

[Blackfire24die]

I've heard more pleasant sounds come from Spike after he accidentally swallowed a plastic ruby.

How do you come up with this

[Bronzer]

I didn’t take it seriously until that line.

[Totally Not A Pony]

Ah, opera. One of those things that, alas, essentially need a fair dose of proper parody to become enjoyable.
