That kind of defines "opera".

You pay good money to go sit in the dark for two hours watching overdressed actors sing in a language nobody in the place speaks natively.

Exactly and you go out of the hall saying that was an amazing show.

And, of course, the "fat lady" sang!

I listen to a lot of French and Swedish music. I do at least speak French though. I adore (as you well know!) the music of Tomas Ledin. I also like Kurdish music and the Vietnamese music of Khan Linh. She sounds like Barbra Streisand.

If it has a good beat then I am down!

 

[Starmix]

I don't listen to music foreign to my ears. I love to listen to rock songs.

 

[PGen98]

I listen to a lot of different music in foreign languages. Rammstein and Eisbrecher in German (though I do know some German, I'm nowhere near fluent), Eluvietie in Gaulish, a few different Celtic bands, several Finnish and Swedish bands, and...I don't remember too many others, lol.

[MrDawn]

Some songs in the past. I find Japanese songs in Anime to be entertaining even though I have no idea what meaning the song has. I also used to listen to Ramstein but lost interest because.....I didn't understand anything they were saying.
