For Vleisman...

I was very concerned over Vleisman's quote in the 'SA Artists worth mentioning' thread re his lack of knowledge concerning Opera. So to help him understand Opera, I wish to introduce the following easy "Dummies' Guide to Opera", as presented by one Victor Borge. Borge has a very unique distinctive method of explaining difficult matters such as the one in the short youtube link below.

Vleisman, you will enjoy a thorough understanding of matters Operatic afterwards. No need to thank me, please just forward me some Chillibites.
