The Sorceress - Kiri Te Kanawa
Voilà, probably one of the weirdly campest videos ever made: Kiri Te Kanawa's The Sorceress, (filmed in 1993) with English and Italian subs, so even if you are unfamiliar with opera - you have no excuse!
youtube
Tiptoeing the fine line between kitsch and camp, Kiri's The Sorceress has been a long favourite of mine. It's not only a video; it's its own mini-genre. Using the very Baroque tradition of the pasticcio (a patchwork piece to enrich an existing piece or following a known plot), The Sorceress is informed by a time that was celebrating the novelties of MTV video storytelling and was still obsessed with John Malkovich's Liaisons Dangereuses a couple of years prior. It's a throwback to the 90s in so many awesome ways. There are many versions of The Sorceress YouTube; I cleaned up one video a little, made translations and added captions in English and Italian so everyone can understand what Alcina is so upset about.
Kiri Te Kanawa Ensemble: The Academy of Ancient Music Conductor: Christopher Hogwood Choreography: Baroque Opera Atelier Toronto Mise-en-scène: Barbara Willis Sweete Ruggiero: Andrew Kelley Bradamante: Jeanette Zingg Alcina's Servant: Wilbert Hanssen Music by Georg Frideric Händel
I needed a short mental break, so I wasted a day (and a couple of bucks). The original plan was only to add subtitles in English and Italian, but I ended up scrubbing the video a little, upscaling and cleaning it with AI. Don't expect too much; the best version flying around is 444x360 pixels or something (black frame around it included) - VHS, I believe filmed from a screen too.
tl; dr: I did what I could!

Yes! I have been searching for this recording for years. I had it on CD when I was a younger man but lost it during a move. One of my all time favorite wind serenades by Mozart performed by Christopher Hogwood and Amadeus Winds. Thank you Apple Classical!

Book review: The Good Pig: The Extraordinary Life of Christopher Hogwood by Sy Montgomery
This book was soooo cute; I loved it! I instantly connected with the author, a naturalist whose childhood was largely spent in New Jersey. She decided to move with her husband to New Hampshire to escape the crowdedness and lack of nature there. At a time when her father was dying from lung cancer, they took in this runt pig from one of their neighbors. It was a very difficult time for her because she had been estranged from her father for a few years after her mother disowned her for marrying a Jewish man (amusingly, the father was actually both Jewish and Italian, but his father and grandmother had changed their last names because they wanted to become lawyers, and Italians and Jews didn't have a particularly great shot at being hired by big firms during their time. But the author’s father told the author’s mother that he was of English and Scottish heritage, and the truth wasn't discovered until a long-lost relative contacted the author to say that she loved her book. So the mother’s husband was also technically Jewish since all children of Jewish mothers are considered Jewish lmao). The author and her mother semi-reconciled after the father’s death and talked mostly about the pig Christopher, though sadly the mother never accepted the author’s husband Howard. 
Christopher became the small town’s largest celebrity. He eventually grew to be 700 pounds, but was affectionate enough to be trusted around children, who would come to the author’s house daily during the summer to give Christopher “pig spas.” Neighbors enjoyed saving their leftovers for him, and he even got gourmet cheese and pastries delivered to him almost daily from local shops. He became a very picky pig, choosing only the most delectable morsels. He would flop over on his belly to be pet. He would also escape regularly, making headlines in the town papers. But everyone loved him. Interestingly, he never tore up the masterful vegetable garden of the author’s tenant. He was featured on the radio, in documentaries, and in photoshoots with famous photographers. He had a profoundly positive impact on the lives of many people, much more so than if he had been turned into bacon.
I also learned so many interesting facts about pigs from this book. Wall Street, for instance, was so-named because the wall around it was constructed specifically to keep out the city’s loose pigs. Loose pigs were a major part of all New England villages, and most had specially appointed “hog reeves” whose job was to coral them (interesting how historical movies and tv shows rarely show this). The author’s other books also seem captivating. One is about Sundarbans, where for reasons no one completely understands it is common for tigers to hunt humans. Yet, the tigers are still treasured there rather than hunted to extinction. The book explores why the human relationship with animals there is so different than almost everywhere else. I will probably be reading more books by her.
