Baseball is more verismo, slow moving, real time, with real people, and quiet. Basketball is like grand opera -- a true spectacle, more entertainment than sport sometimes and LOUD! Opera companies would do well to promote their art at these venues, whether singing the National Anthem, or simply having a night out with opera fans! A great way to get recognition on the big scoreboards! I love both sports and opera, especially baseball and basketball. Baseball is more verismo, slow moving, real time, with real people, and quiet.
