Opera! It's so very very good and it's such an acquired taste.
I prefer to stick to FireFox, thanks.
I feel like all of the arts are that way. You can either put yourself in the mindset to be receptive of them... or you can't.
But I've had many enriching experiences by taking a chance on art forms and genres I never supposed I would like, including those I had some bias against.
Getting into Klaus Nomi has made me reconsider my stance on opera, but I have no idea where to begin
A good way to begin is to watch a popular classic favourite opera like La Traviata or La Boheme, with subtitles, and review the plot summary ahead of time
