Yes that’s always my problem with opera -it’s so linear and a simple story
Though I have a friend that writes modern opera that changed my mind somewhat . But the stuff she does is not appreciated by the “traditional opera purists “
I also find that opera and symphony are in part about perfection but it’s the imperfect that excites me .
But also so much trad opera and symphony is about the past . It not about the future or at least it’s about repeating the past . So there is symphony I do like but it would be by the modern composers like Philip glass or Steve reich
Growing up in the uk as a teen there was a strong correlation to music taste and style / fashion .
So it doesn’t surprise me that you don’t like opera and symphony which I think is structured and tells a simple story ( opera) ( although there are always exceptions )
And rap I think is more an age related thing ( which I concur with )
As overall rap isn’t my fave yet grandmaster flash -white lines is one of my top ten
So what is your musical taste ?

Totally on GM Flash! It is age. I find opera so simplistic. My mom killed symphony for me.
Mostly jazz, rock and roll, indie music. No rap, no opera, no symphony. Exceptions always!
