This week, we finished up our Opera's and moved onto Broadway. I was interested to see how they were related and how opera shaped broadway. The documentary we watched in class, I had actually seen before, and I thought seeing it again only made it clearer to see history evolving. I found it particularly interesting to see how the war technology affected the theater technology and how the stock market crash actually had a positive effect on movie technology.
When writing my paper, which I believe will be on Aida, I'm going to use the technology evolution shown in "B'way, The American Musical" to help me with ideas on how to modernize the opera.
