Were there Opera singers in the Old Testament?

There sure was a lot of drama... but Opera?
It seems that Psalm 46 hints at the possibility. The lead in reads 'According to alamoth. A song.'
Alamoth is a Hebrew word meaning;

*properly girls, that is,
the soprano or female voice, perhaps falsetto: - Alamoth.

Reading Psalm46 is like watching a dramatic opera with a lot of commotion and noise described in the opening verses. There's talk about mountains shaking and the ocean roaring. There are armies fighting. People run and hide, seeking shelter, calling out to God. (Soprano lady hits dramatic high note)
But then suddenly the orchestra stops playing. The Soprano Lady stops singing.
There's a sudden hush that rests on the audience... and then, after a pause, God's voice speaks from on high;
"Be still, and know that I am God."


To capture the essence of such a moment you need to imagine a dramatic scene in a movie. Imagine the sound effect of armies marching and earthquakes and water crashing. Now imagine hitting the 'mute' button on your remote...
   quiet... in spite of the scenery that continues;
        peace... in spite of the ongoing story line.

You close your eye... shut out the drama... and you think of God... high above the commotion.
He is not surprised by the drama. He is not overwhelmed by our urgency.

Rather, He reminds us, even when the storm hits... that He 'is with us, the God of Jacob is our fortress.' (v11)

I guess this is what Jesus meant when he said we should build our house on the rock... so that we can weather the storms... (Matthew 7:24-29)
- and say to the dramatic opera voice in our head... "Be quite!"

Memo to self; "Shhhh... !"
