Watching an Opera on TV

After eating lunch, I decided to take a rest, and then turned on TV. When I changed some channels to look for an interesting program, suddenly I found that an Opera was starting. I was not sure if the Opera's name was "Orlando Palandino", but it did not impede me to enjoy it. I turned the voice loudly, drank a cup of hot jasmine green tea , and wrap up with a warm woolen blanket on sofa. Everything was perfect! However, I felt depressed because I could not understand what these singers' Italian voices at the beginning. Fortunately, there was English translation on the bottom of the screen, so I could enjoy the songs and also read English translation to understand the whole story. The most spectacular of the performance of the two chief actors was their solo. From their voices and body languages, I felt their love, pain, angry, conflict, and contradiction. They put in themselves to sing the opera as if the story was true, not a play. I was touched by their professional skills and emotions. After watching the opera, I felt so happy and satisfied that I wanted to sing and dance in my room. Although I had not watch a Broadway show at New York, I had a wonderful time this afternoon.
