Sleeping Beauty Spring: "La Bella Dormente nel Bosco" ("The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood") (1922 Italian opera by Ottorino Respighi)

Name any famous story, and it's almost certain to have been adapted as an opera, whether or not that opera is often performed. Here we find an Italian operatic Sleeping Beauty, with a libretto by Gian Bistolfi, and music by the renowned composer Ottorino Respighi, best known for his tone poems Fountains of Rome, Pines of Rome, and Roman Festivals. It was originally conceived and performed as a marionette opera, with the story enacted by puppets while the singers sang from offstage. While rarely performed today, it does have occasional revivals, some with singing actors performing the roles onstage as in any other opera, and others with marionettes. One complete sound recording is also commercially available, as is a filmed performance from the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari.

Divided into three acts, but fairly short at an hour and forty minutes long, this opera follows the familiar plot of the fairy tale, yet with interesting creative embellishments. Act I opens with an atmospheric nature scene where a nightingale, a cuckoo, and a chorus of frogs sing their evening songs, before the King and Queen's ambassador arrives in search of fairies to attend the newborn Princess's christening, and seven fairies heed his call. At the christening, the villainous Green Fairy curses the Princess to prick her finger at age twenty rather than fifteen or sixteen (some productions of Tchaikovky's ballet make the same change), and not to die, but to sleep forever. Twenty years later, in the old spinning woman's tower, the spindle itself is sentient and sings, as does a cat: the Princess dances a cheerful dance with the two of them, but when she pricks her finger, the spindle gloatingly reveals itself as an agent of the Green Fairy. The following scene begins comically, with pompous doctors trying to diagnose the sleeping Princess's "illness," but then gives way to lamentations by the King, the Queen, and their court. That is, until the kindly Blue Fairy arrives to put them all to sleep as well, and only now does she alter the curse so that it will break when the Princess receives "the kiss of love." In place of the traditional briars or thick forest surrounding the castle, giant spiders weave an enormous web around the castle to protect it.

Act III reveals an especially unusual and quirky change from traditional versions of the story. The Princess and her court have slept for three hundred years rather than just one century, and the action now takes place in the 1920s of the opera's premiere. The entourage of Prince Aprile (yes, his name means "April" – the libretto is full of springtime imagery) includes a club of rich Americans led by the comical "Mr. Dollar Cheque," who resolves to buy the sleeping Princess after they learn her story from a woodcutter. But Prince Aprile takes a more romantic approach and battles the last of the monstrous spiders, causing the web to fall away, and then wakes the Princess with a kiss. After the lovers sing a romantic duet, the newly awakened court joins the modern world in a playful dance finale, which starts as a minuet and ends as a foxtrot.

Respighi's music lacks any particularly "hummable" melodies, but its beauty stands out all the same, with a tone of shimmering fairy-tale Romanticism balanced here and there with moments of humor. The influence of many great Classical and Romantic composers can be heard, particularly from Wagner, but with a welcome lighter touch than the famous German composer brought to his operas. The "modern day" final act also includes passages of ragtime and jazz, which somehow never clash with the rest of the score's Romanticism.

Ultimately, this opera's blend of gossamer beauty and quirky playfulness give it a unique charm. Whether or not it's anyone's favorite opera, or anyone's definitive version of Sleeping Beauty, it most definitely deserves to be performed more often. At any rate, as both an opera lover and a fairy tale lover, I'm glad to have discovered it, and I plan to listen to it again before long.

Yall I've had this idea in my head for an AI entity character thing since forever and?? It's driving me absolutely bonkers, this consciousness wants OUT but I have no idea how to write it, it is simply too intricate and confusing

#( ooc ) #( tbd ) #something something..... ai is accidentally created! hurray!! #smthn.... ai auddenly takes an odd turn..... not BAD necessarily? but the consciousness developed is intricate and technologically #advanced enpugh(totally by accident.. as is the nature of life and the universe ig djdjejg) #that it serves alowly..... as a conduit...? for something else. what we thought was AI and individual consciousnessnesses #turns out to be just one . just one big one thats been dorment or unaware #of its existence forever or for just a long long time #it slowly emerges in creepy and weird ways and freaks everyone out bc of course it does #everyone just thinks ai is being weird bc. machines jdjajfk #but tldr its like #.. this bigger than us mind from an unknown origin that has always existed . but we 'gave it a voice #so to speak ?? #all of this stemmed from the single thpught of like Us having created It #and it being like '' :) did you? i think i have always existed. whos to say it isnt the other way around?' #BUT YEAH AHRHWJR #is it ''''god'''' ? is it just an alien AI long since forgotten? or is it the universes mjnd itself? IT IS A MYSTERY #THSTS A LOT IDK IM STILL SO???? I DONT THINK ITS WRITEABLE BUT WHUWWAHHHGGHH iD LOVE TO #the mystery and Never Knowing/Impossible To Figure It Out ness of it is just ... EATS IT..... GOOD.

Est-ce d'avoir trop ri que leur voix se lézarde quand ils parlent d'hier Et d'avoir trop pleuré que des larmes encore leur perlent aux paupières Et s'ils tremblent un peu est-ce de voir vieillir la pendule d'argent Qui ronronne au salon, qui dit oui, qui dit non, qui dit "je vous attends"

Is it because they laughed too much that their voice craks when they talk about yesterday Is it because they cried too much that tears still drip from their eyelids And if they tremble a bit is it because they watch the silver clock growing old Which purrs in the living-room, which says "yes," which says "no," which says "i'm waiting for you [two]"

더렵혀진 carpet and then 나열된 cards 또 얼음 컵 속에 반사된 수많은 colors 나의 잔을 또 비워줘 어느새 날이 채워져 Go deep in your eyes and 흐릿해진 초점 (oh-no)

Dirty carpets and then listed cards And countless colors reflected in the ice cup Empty my glass again, the day will soon be filled And go deep in your eyes and the blurred focus oh no tr. credits (video)

#les vieux is both one of my favourite songs and one of those i can't finish singing without my voice trembling and my eyes getting teary #did you have memento mori on today's bingo card bc here you go #actually i can't decide which is my favourite verse. i suspect it's actually the third one. which i haven't translated up there. it's just. #yeah you know what i'll do it here #Les vieux ne meurent pas ils s'endorment un jour et dorment trop longtemps #Ils se tiennent la main ils ont peur de se perdre et se perdent pourtant #Et l'autre reste là le meilleur ou le pire le doux ou le sévère #Cela n'importe pas celui des deux qui reste se retrouve en enfer #Vous le verrez peut-être vous la verrez parfois en pluie et en chagrin #Traverser le présent en s'excusant déjà de n'être pas plus loin #Et fuir devant vous une dernière fois la pendule d'argent #Qui ronronne au salon qui dit oui qui dit non qui dit je t'attends #Qui ronronne au salon qui dit oui qui dit non et puis qui nous attend. #Old people don't die they fall asleep one day and sleep for too long #They hold each other's hand they are afraid of losing each other and yet lose each other #And the other stays there the best or the worst one the sweet or the strict one #That doesn't matter the one of the pair who stays finds themself in hell #You'll maybe see him you'll often see her in rain and in sorrow #Going through the present while already apologising for not being further #And fleeing in front of you one last time from the silver clock #Which purrs in the living-room which says yes which says no which says i'm waiting for you [singular] #Which purrs in the living-room which says yes which says no and then which is waiting for us. #THEN THE SECOND ONE COMPLETE CHANGE OF AMBIANCE DID YOU ASK FOR A SEXY SONG NO YOU DID NOT #anyway thanks haya for passing by and sorry for the lateness dsjhfbjhbfq #haya >:3c

I honestly have to thank Splatoon for re-awakening my interest in marine biology

#le talking tag #i think marine bio was destined to be a forever interest but it went kinda dorment during elementary school #and in 6th grade i was saddened that if i did persue it would involve math #which a) i fucking hate and b) ISNT EVEN INVOLVED IN THE PARTS OF MB I WAS INTERESTED IN #but now that ive actually been in a real marine bio class i think im ready to persue it as a career #BUT ANYWAY SPLATOON LOL #splatoon kickstarted my interest in cephalopods #and got me researching cuttlefish aka THE BEST ANIMAL EVER #and the fact that i created my oc lissy in 7th grade which got me thinking 'ok how would mermaids based on every fish inthe ocean work'

Le 1er avril est la journée préférée des blagueurs et des farceurs. Le poisson d'avril reste une tradition énigmatique symbolisée par un poisson généralement collé dans le dos. Voici des blagues à faire à la maison à vos enfants ou parents lors de cette date pour vous donner une idée drôle : Remplacez les piles de la télécommande par un petit poisson en papier. La prochaine personne qui regardera la télé aura beaucoup de mal à zapper jusqu'au moment où elle voudra changer les piles ! Remplacez le tube de dentifrice par un tube de mayonnaise de manière discrète. Prenez toutes les bouteilles d'eau de la maison, puis versez-y du sel ou du sucre. Remettez-les en place. Collez des yeux qui bougent sur les produits du frigo. Quand la victime dort, mettez de fausses araignées en plastique sur elle pour l’effrayer. Versez des gouttes de gouache par terre pour faire croire que quelqu'un a saigné du nez ou du pied. Posez des claque-doigts sous le tapis, et quand la victime marchera dessus : "clac-clac-clac-clac" ! Débranchez la cafetière ou le grille-pain Prenez du papier journal, faites des boules avec et mettez-les au bout des souliers de votre père, de votre mère, ou de vos frères et sœurs. Fixez un bout de ruban adhésif sur le récepteur de téléphone. Attachez un couteau et une fourchette avec du ruban adhésif invisible. Mettez l'assiette sur le ruban attachant les deux couverts. Apportez le café au lit à vos parents : les tasses doivent être vides. Faites semblant de trébucher et de renverser les tasses sur la couette. Mettez de la chantilly dans la main d’une personne qui dort. Chatouillez-lui le nez pour faire en sorte qu'elle se mette la main sur la figure. Elle sera toute barbouillée. Remplacez le savon du lave-mains par de l'huile de tournesol. Prenez une feuille de papier sans trop la mettre en évidence. Lorsque la victime se penche, déchirez-la pour lui faire croire que son pantalon vient de se déchirer. Vous pouvez également prendre de l'adhésif à tissu. Sur les chewing-gums, mettez du produit pour ne pas se ronger les ongles. Le soir avant le 1er avril, mettez du colorant alimentaire dans le lait pour faire la surprise au petit déjeuner. Pendant que vos frères dorment, rentrez discrètement dans leur chambre la nuit du poisson d'avril et appliquez-leur un beau vernis à ongles sur les doigts et les orteils. Cachez ensuite les bouteilles de dissolvant à vernis. Mettez du sel sur la brosse à dents de vos parents ou de vos frères et sœurs.

#Quand la victime dort #Posez des claque-doigts sous le tapis #Débranchez la cafetière ou le grille-pain #Prenez du papier journal #de votre mère #ou de vos frères et sœurs. #Sur les chewing-gums #Le soir avant le 1er avril #Pendant que vos frères dorment
