Stages

After watching all of the clips, it is amazing to me that they were able to come up with all of the technology needed in order to put on such an elaborate production. I think the techniques that they used were still in use up until a few decades ago on modern stages like the ones on Broadway. The fireworks and use of pulley systems surprised me the most. They were able to create productions that were very entertaining and do things that were never done before.

I never knew that Mozart had such a difficult childhood and that his own experiences influenced all of the operas that he created. I also only thought that he was a composer. I had no idea that he was directors of operas.

The class so far has been really interesting and a lot of fun for me. I like learning about the history and then how it ties in to modern art that I have never seen before in class. All of the clips that have been shown have been great examples for me to better learn the material.
