I'm glad I finally have an incite into this great piece of classic music, I grew up with all the Warner Brothers classic music cartoon cameos, like Elmer Fudd singing flight of the Valkyries, and of course Bugs Bunny in the the 1950 episode entitled The Rabbit of Seville, id probably seen heard this piece of Opera hundreds of times and I just thought of cartoons really. Ill admit that this it where I first encountered most classic music I know of. Now However I can enjoy the piece for what it is and appreciate the context of the era that brought it about. I wonder if the animated version of this piece is as meaningful to a child as the real opera would be to an adult?
