This Is Part 1 Of My Tragic Alphabet That Highlights The Most Drama-Licious Opera Death Scenes Through The Ages
I have always wanted to make an alphabet about opera… now don’t be like that, there is nothing more drama-licious than opera!
In order for them to sing those unforgettable, heartbreaking arias that take your stomach on a ride in the clouds, they create a character that resonates with everybody… and they kill them! It’s really beautiful in the most macabre of ways. So I dedicate this alphabet to all those tragic death scenes and their victims through the ages.
If you would like to follow the drama see more on my Instagram.

Share on FacebookThank you so much!! My very first comment on my very first Bored Panda article.... And it's such a nice one!!! You rock!!!
Load More Replies...Thank you!! I worked really hard on doing the research, I wanted to be able to show what I love in opera (the drama) to everyone!
Load More Replies...absolutely brilliant...can’t wait to see the next segment! (and i love the descriptions... you’re making the operas much more accessible!) xxx
Thank you so much!!! All the kind words mean so much to me!!
Load More Replies...This really is wonderful. I love the illustrations and the narratives.
These are extremely well done and thought-out! I loved how you included a synopsis of each opera.
They admin team replaced the image for me, yay!!!! Well, spotted ;)
Load More Replies...thank you. the drawings are good and it's interesting to read about these operas.
I'm also an opera fan. The artwork on these is fantastic, and I love the artist's sense of humor in her descriptions. Looking forward to the Second Act!
Overly simplistic synopsis of the operas. That's what I like about it. Hopefully, will get non-opera goers interested in seeing a production.
These are so beautiful. Will these be in your next installment? Nabucco, Verdi, 1842 Orfeo ed Euridice, Gluck, 1762 Porgy and Bess, Gershwin, 1935 (A) Quiet Place, Bernstein, 1983 Rigoletto, Verdi, 1851 Salome, R. Strauss, 1905 Tosca, Puccini 1900 ’U’, Eef van Breen, 2010 Vanessa, Barber, 1958 War and Peace, Prokofiev, 1946 X, The Life and Times of Malcolm X, Davis, 1986 Yerma, Villa-Lobos, 1971 Zaide, Mozart, 1780
Hey, those are some great guesses, you are very close to the list!
Load More Replies...Great art work and nice to have the synopsis. Some operas are unfamiliar to me so it was good to learn something new.
These are great, but Kaiser von Atlantis was written around 1943 and PREMIERED in 1975. Ullmann died in Auschwitz...
These are gorgeous! I kept searching for a way to purchase the collection as a bound book. I hope you consider publishing this incredible idea!
I have actually been thinking about it, will make sure it's organised by the time I do the second part of the series.
