Well, how about Opera? I started going to the English National Opera because they always sing English translations of the Operas and found thatnI still couldn't understand the lyrics, added to which the sounds and rhythms were all wrong. I have gone back to listening to opera in the language in which it was written and making sure that I know the story line before I go in to the theatre (theater for wow) It is the musical sound that is so wonderful - the lyrics are fairly crappy anyway, for the most part!
