I’m bored. I like putting videos up so other people can see them even though I know no one will watch it. So with out further adu the opera video of the week.

This Week’s Opera Song is “Pa-pa-pa-pa-Papagena!” Performed by Detlef Roth and GaĆ«le Le Roi.

Papageno the bird catcher wants nothing more in life than a little wife. When he goes on an adventure he meets the one woman that was meant for him, a Papagena. At first she appears to him as a very old ugly hag but when he must choose between taking her as his wife or never having a wife he chooses her. She reveals herself to be a lovely woman whom he falls for. She is chased away though and he fears he will not see her again. But when he rings his magic bells she returns to him and there is much rejoicing.
