Opera is Life

For everybody

This is an episode in which, once again, we’ve gone out onto the street so that it’s all of you telling us if you like music, if you like opera and what music means to you. With all of your answers we see that, as Nietzsche said, not only is it impossible to live without music, but that opera, music and art is forever and for everyone, and not just for the select few.

That’s because all of us are capable of feeling and being moved, as we will see in an exciting and surprising final sequence recorded on the stage of Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu with all of those who have helped us throughout the show.
