Weddings "Do yoy have any opera?"

[Papa Deuce]

Just got an email I was expecting from a referral. The potential client asked me if I have any opera.... Well, no, I actually do not have any opera other than one CD by Andrea Boccelli.

Anyway in her email, she said that if I get her wedding, she would like to hear about 5 or 6 opera songs..... and not all during dinner / cocktail.

Yeah, that oughtta play well....

I'm a bad DJ.... I know nothing of opera.

 

[DJ JohnThe1]

No Opera here either. It sounds like she wants to put her guest to sleep. If the gig paid good $$$$, I would have no problem purchasing some Opera.

Does she have square wheels on her car, too?

I did a wedding last year where the entire dinner hour was classical and it was fine... Now, to insist on opera pieces during the dance portion, well...

I don't think it matters much. We talked on the phone, and I don't think she liked me asking about playing opera during open dance time, and I don't think she liked my take on it... I highly doubt she will be calling me back.

Some Sarah Brightman would be nice during dinner....

Sometimes clients mix up Opera with Classical. If not sure ask for a couple of examples and that will give you a better idea. I hope she calls back. I love Opera and Classical. Remakes of Classical just won't fly at an event like this one.

In fact that is true... but she wants opera... she sings in a local opera group.

But I am 99% sure the window is closed on this one, as I could tell by our phone conversation.

you don't seemed to be REAL upset about losing this one.

I know I wouldn't
