Going to the Opera in the Year 2000 (1882) - Paleo-Future

I went to an opera…not in 2000, quite, but in the very late 90s. I don’t remember it looking anything like this. Which is too bad; I’d love to have an excuse to wear the helmet like that guy on the left has.

“I approach everything as an absolute outsider.  It’s the only way I can break so many rules.  Remember, my background is totally strange - German classical opera… It was just as shocking for me to sing opera in a falsetto soprano in Germany.  It was another rule I was breaking.  You just didn’t do that.  And I am helped by the fact that pop and rock, which you would think have no rules at all, are really just as conservative as classical music.” - Klaus Nomi
