Even the darkest night will end  And the sun will rise.

Musical Theatre

Today, I want to talk about Musical Theatre, a wonderful  art, to everyone.     

1.Summary  2.Comparison with Opera  3.Famous places  4.Other Forms of Theatre  5.A Easy List  6.A Song of Musical

Musical theatre is a style of performance that includes dance, popular songs, spoken dialog, and lots of acting.

The Musicals performed at New York Broadway or London West End are famous.  And most of the musical theatres actors usually sing the Musicals in English or French.

The biggest difference between the Musical theatre and the Opera is that Musical theatre concentrates on acting and dancing first and then singing.  On the other hand, opera focuses on singing the most.  That is why the musical theatre performers are often handsome actors and beautiful actress that sometimes with terrible voice.  Besides, the Musical performers in large theatres often use microphones, but it is avoided in an operatic context.

There are various Eastern conventions of the theatre, for example, Chinese Opera, Taiwanese opera, Noh (classical Japanese dance theatre) and Musical theatre in India.             

1.Musicals: The Black Brook, Les Misérables, Billy Elliot, The Sound of Music, The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, West Side Story, Notre Dame de Paris, The Lion King, 

Notre Dame de Paris …
          2.Opera: Carmen, La traviata, The Magic Flute, Otello, Rigoletto, Madama Butterfly, Tosca, The Marriage of Figaro …

          At the end, I want to share one of my favorite song of Musical: Belle.

My Favorite Things Lyrics

My Favorite Things

Raindrops on roses



And whiskers on kittens




Bright copper kettles


And warm woolen mittens


Brown paper packages Tied up withe string




These are a few of my favorite things



Cream colored ponies



And crisp apple strudel



Doorbells and sleighbells

And schnitzel with noodle



Wild geese that fly



With the moon on their wings


These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes



Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes




Silver white winters that melt into springs



These are a few of my favorite things



When the dog bites



When the bee stings



When I'm feeling sad



I simply remember my favorite things



And then I don't feel so bad

My Favorite Things Lyrics

Raindrops on roses,

And whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles



And warm woolen mittens.



Brown paper package.Tied up with string,

These are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies,

And crisp apple strudel.



Doorbells and sleigh bells 



And schnitzel with noodles,

Wild geese that fly



With the moon on their wings,

These are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,

Silver white winters that melt into springs

These are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites,
  


When the bee stings,
  
When I'm feeling sad.
  

I simply remember my favorite things,

And then I don't feel so bad
