AS1009 Yes, I’ve watched film adaptations of plays, such as Romeo + Juliet. I prefer films because they offer close-ups and diverse settings, which add depth to characters and scenes that a stage may not provide. The visual storytelling in film feels more immersive to me. Word Count: 45 I also enjoy films more than plays, in my opinion films are more realistic. Plays should feel more close and intimate, but for me watching someone on a screen feels realer. I do love the excitement and momentum of seeing a play/live show though. Word Count: 45

student817 4. Just my opinion, I’ve always found operas to be silly, but I understand why some people love them. As for ballet, it has always been something I love watching. My mom always loved them so we would watch ballet performances online and they are always so beautiful. Word Count: 48 I could understand why you see opera as silly, and I also understand why some see the appeal in opera. I have never seen an opera myself, but I would want to witness an opera one day. Also, I agree with you, ballet is an art thats beautiful and peaceful. Word Count: 50

I have never attended a professional drama performance. The last play I read was in English class. It wasn't really my thing. I have never seen a musical drama. I'm not really sure if I like them or not. I don't have much experience if at all. I've seen an adaption, I enjoyed watching more as it seemed like a movie and more entertaining.

• Have you ever attended a professional drama performance? Which type of drama was it (play, opera, musical, dance)?
- I have never attended a professional drama performance in my life. Plays, operas, musicals, etc have never really been my thing. Maybe it's just a matter of finding what I like, but I have never put much interest into them. From the little i've been exposed to with these plays that are assigned to this class, I can say they are interesting.

What is the last play you read? Did you enjoy it?
- This past week I have read numerous plays in order to get my Drama Analysis Essay done. Some I have actually finished reading and others become boring so I just skip to the next one. However, the one I enjoyed the most was "The Cuban Swimmer" by Milcha Sanches-Scott. I felt the emotions and was able to compare myself with that play. I definitely enjoyed it.

Have you ever seen a musical drama? What type of musical was it? Do you enjoy musicals?
This is going to be a very short answer because no I have not seen a musical drama in person. As I mentioned in the earlier post, these type of performances have never been my thing. I remember in high school they would always do musicals. However, I stayed away from them since I did not enjoy them.

What is your experience with opera and ballet?
- I have very little knowledge with opera and ballet. I recall growing up my sister would dance ballet and have her end-of-the-year performances but I never attended them. Now that I am learning more about this topic I would give these performances a try and see what they are really about.

Have you watched a film / TV adaptation of a play? Which format did you enjoy most, and why?
-I have not watched many film or tv adaptions of a play. But I can tell you I've seen a few clips as part of my assignments back in high school. An example would be Romeo and Juliet. I know it's originally a stage play but I did watch it as a movie and it helped me understand it much better because it has visuals and settings.
Personally I enjoy the film version better because I understand it more.

RoosterPenny2 I have watched the show Hamilton both in-person and through the Disney+ streaming service. I found the streamed performance to be better because it is the original cast. I feel like nobody plays a better Hamilton than Lin-Manuel Miranda! Word Count: 39 That’s a great point, seeing the original cast on Disney+ definitely adds something special. Lin-Manuel Miranda brings so much energy and emotion to Hamilton. Even though live shows are exciting, the streamed version captures those iconic performances perfectly. Word count: 47

rshdac If school plays count, then yes, I've seen a professional drama performance. Unfortunately, I can't remember the last play I've read. It was most likely Romeo & JulietI have seen musical dramas before but nothing major. I know what opera and ballet are, but I have never attended a show I haven't watched any film or play adaptations yet. Word Count: 61 The last memorable play for me also probably is Romeo & Juliet. I think its nice that you know somewhat about dramas, operas, and ballets because I personally didn't know much. I highly recommend checking out some of the adaptions because it is very interesting seeing the contrasts between the two. WC: 50

I have attended a drama performance before, but sadly I don't remember it very well, it was on a cruise many years ago when I was younger. The last play that I read was Fences by August Wilson, it was a little vulgar but I still enjoyed it. I have seen a little bit of Heathers, I still have to finish watching it someday, but I do enjoy musicals. Sadly, I have no experience with opera nor ballet. Mamma Mia was the last film adaptation of a play that I have seen, I really enjoyed it.

Yes, I attended a professional performance of Hamilton, which is a musical. The mix of historical storytelling and modern music was really ineresting. It was my first time seeing a Band production live, and the energy, lighting, and choreography made it an unforgettable experience.

I have not had much experience with opera or ballet, but I have seen a recorded performance of The Nutcracker ballet. I was impressed by the storytelling through movement and music. Opera seems more intense and emotional, though I haven’t watched one fully. i would give them a another try in the future.
