Today most music videos are made by pop stars with shallow lyrics and messages aimed at a younger demographic. However, once in a while a video comes along that attempts to break through and convey a deeper meaning and has actual real life application. Sometimes they show real artistic expression and try to make a difference through their music.
This is extremely similar to musicals and operas, which try to tell a story that people can relate to and understand on a personal level. They are beautiful pieces of art that inspire and move people. Seeing Katy Perry's video right after the opera show that despite their differences they both use dramatic scenery and intricate costumes to get their message across, and how important the setting is to the storyline.
