Hello, guys.
Welcome to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
Oonga boonga.
That's right.
Today, we have an oonga booga, oonga uh boonga,
oonga boonga episode of us sharing with you guys
how beautiful and majestic opera can be.
So, for those that are musicians and non-musicians
that don't know much about opera,
we're going to show you how amazing this can be
and going to change your mind.
The world needs to appreciate opera.
Let's go.
The first one.
Mozart's Magic Flute, a very famous opera.
If you don't know it...
Shame on you.
Just kidding.
What?
See? Operas figured it out.
How do you make humanity
produce more babies at the quickest...
Pace possible?
- Oh my god. Yeah. - In an ideal world, right?
One, two, three, your family is done.
- Dude, they look freaky. - Wow, that was...
- Babies are weird, man. - Look at them.
They look like the type of baby dolls you see...
In like those exorcist type movies.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, start moving.
- Oh, what! - Oh!
Oh right, like it's their faces.
- I thought they just killed the babies. - Yeah, I was like...
That's assassination.
See, that's so beautiful. The opera is all about that.
Plot twist.
- Did that baby just kick all the other babies down? - Yeah, the baby just -
And then when the last one just like
freaked out and tripped over.
Yeah.
- Dude... - I don't think a baby can survive that fall.
Dude, that was like hunger games for babies.
It was.
It was intense.
Woah!
All right, keeping it PG, guys.
Guys, you think those...
Netflix series getting all hot and steamy...
Dude, opera is the most hot and steamy...
Action you'll ever see.
Bro, look at that guy's face.
He's like, yes, the moment I've been waiting for my whole career.
All right, next.
Queen of the Night.
Oonga boonga.
Wait, is that milk?
That's milk.
Why is she pouring milk on a dying lady?
I guess you need a lot of calcium,
when you're getting stabbed, right?
How's the person just sitting there like this?
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have the energy
just bleeding like that with the elbows.
- Yeah. - You know?
Nah, it's because she's done too many
HIIT core workouts.
Her abs is ripped apart.
Do you see the actress or singer lying down there?
- She looks so bored. - I know.
"I don't have the main part. Just chilling out here."
"I wish I got the main part."
Yeah.
Can I just say, that concert hall, the floor,
if it's like wood or something,
that milk's gonna seep through.
It will smell after the twelfth concert.
- Ooh... Oh, yeah. - Just that patch will forever smell like milk.
How many...
Bubble teas could you have made with that milk?
What a waste.
Ohh, I want bubble tea.
Ohh.
Next one.
Stravinsky Le Renard.
Oh, nice.
Guys, opera's a party.
Halloween's got nothing on Stravinsky operas.
Oh nice.
It's like an excuse for the older people to join a party.
But they don't have to be involved. They just spectate.
Yeah.
Dude, it looks like some cult.
Yeah.
It's going on right now.
Guys, you have to be a...
Super cultured opera intellect to appreciate this scene.
Super cult-ured.
Dude, this guy's like stunting over Conor McGregor.
Yeah, he's like, "Yeah!"
Conor McGregor is shaking.
He's being all silent after this opera.
It sounds like they're saying...
Da~Ah~
**** this ****.
That's what I thought they said.
I wonder what the musicians feel.
Like, in orchestra.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Very interesting production.
I wonder what you opera singers and
classical voice majors out there...
Think of these clips.
Is this an accurate representation of opera?
I haven't seen an opera singer half naked on stage before
with a fox tail.
But, anyway...
Wait, what happened?
Wow...
Dude, I'm just confused.
Dude, this is like...
- A whole Hollywood movie and a half. - It is. In itself.
I need to know the context. What is happening?
Imagine being that musician that had to do the shouting.
I bet he was just like, "Ah, damn it. That's my part."
You know, he either is like...
Hates it or he loves it.
Yeah, you can't be in between.
You either hate it or you love it.
- Next. - Next one.
I've seen this.
Is that noses?
Yeah.
I don't know the context, but I've seen this.
This is what it feels like when hay fever season comes.
- That's very - - Why the nose?
Maybe Shostakovich had a nose fetish.
The story is about a Russian bureaucrat,
who wakes up to find his nose missing.
Apparently, the opera is a...
Satire.
- A social critique of the 19th century Russian society. - Wow, guys.
Dude, this is basically the cultured version of making the...
"I stole your nose" joke.
Yeah.
- Yeah, it is. - Haha, I got your nose.
Well, we've evolved so much.
Guys, are you loving it so far?
I hope you love opera.
Thank you, London!
Would she...
Get performance anxiety if your face wasn't showing?
I definitely don't think you would get as much
performance anxiety.
- Yeah, it's cause... - Cause people don't know who you are.
They don't know who you are.
If you screw up, what would they do.
You can run back.
It's an interesting concept,
they should try the ears next time.
What's this next one?
Offenbach.
Okay.
Dude...
When your mom tells you to eat your veggies.
Yeah, "eat your carrot."
Ohh!
Whoa!
That's right, kids.
If you don't eat your veggies,
they'll come haunting you like this.
So, you better eat them early before they grow to that
The music's pretty catchy.
- Yeah, I like it. - I'm actually enjoying it.
I am the raw carrot.
I don't know.
That's it, guys.
Did we convince you to like opera?
If not, you must go practice.
Until you're cultured enough to appreciate opera.
I actually kind of enjoyed it.
I did.
To be honest, I thought I was going to be in
for like disappointment.
- Why would you be disappointed... - Surprised.
- Don't know. - By opera?
Maybe from some experiences in the past.
Ooo...
Like and subscribe.
- See you guys next time. - Bye bye.
