* In Béla Bartók's one-act opera ''Duke Bluebeard's Castle'', the opening of the fifth door reveals the full extent of Bluebeard's wealth as a landowner. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc1d16jREhU The accompanying power chords]] are so overwhelmingly awesome they had [[BlueByrd this Troper]] in tears the first time she heard the piece performed.

* Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's [[TheThreepennyOpera ThreepennyOpera]] gave us "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer" (The Ballad of Mack the Knife), but this troper has always been partial to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_B2Dbsppvo "Zuhälterballade"]] (Pimp's Ballad). What a beautiful, slow tango. They had some amazing music in their works. All you have to do is get past the rather depressing stories. Or enjoy them together, as you really should.

** "Grow Old with You" was really sweet too. The version I saw had two superb vocalists who just made the song work and it was a high school production. Overall, the song is just embodies what it's like to love someone and want to marry them.



* Suessical's ''Alone in the universe'' is pretty powerful, in particular when Horton and Jojo are both singing the chorus together- "I have wings, and I can fly, around the moon and far beyond the sky!"
