YOU GUYS. Normally the symphony broadcasts don't get put up in full after the fact, but they're doing it with our performance of La Damnation de Faust from a couple of weeks ago, because it was JUST THAT FABULOUS. You should go listen to it because it was an amazing set of performances and all our soloists were brilliant and very hot.

#choir stuff #berlioz #la damnation de faust #omg i'm so excited about this #i'm gonna record the audio first chance i get #not sure how long it'll be up #soloists were michael spyres as faust #john relyea as mephistopheles #isabel leonard as marguerite #and patrick guetti as brander

Faust (2001)

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo siamo tornati a parlare di cinema e l’abbiamo fatto con una pellicola fantascientifica post-apocalittica molto particolare e diretta da un regista molto interessante, The Divide. In questo film una bomba atomica colpisce la città di New York e un gruppo di persone si rifugiano nelle cantine del proprio condominio. Qui riescono a…

Opera videos that are 10/10 to me

Some recordings I've seen that I personally think are perfect and amazing, listed for your convenience, in chronological order. I have posted about most of these before and probably will again.

Händel, Giulio Cesare in Egitto (1724), Glyndebourne 2005

The opera: It's Julius Caesar in Egypt. Someone loses his head, Cleopatra seduces a guy, her brother is king but not very good at it. This opera is 4 hours long and a lot of stuff happens.

The video: Beautiful choreographies, strange meditations on British colonialism and gender, great costumes too. Lots of stage blood.

Notable singers: Danielle De Niese, Christophe Dumaux

Official link: Glyndebourne Encore, there's also a low res version on medici.tv, there's also a 2013 revival on Met on Demand.

Mozart, Don Giovanni (1787), Festival Aix-en-Provence 2017

The opera: The bad man gets punished. It's Don Juan.

The video: A minimalist, "Brechtian" production. The acting is excellent, the costumes and gestures are very effective, everyone involved is super hot. The camerawork is the best I've seen.

Notable singers: Nahuel di Pierro, Isabel Leonard

Official link: medici.tv, it used to be on Youtube but alas.

Rossini, Le Comte Ory (1828), Metropolitan Opera 2011

The opera: It's a fun farce about a youth who tries to seduce a countess and ends up in a threesome. Peak Rossini.

The video: A very Disney-esque production with simple sets and fairytale costumes, excellent acting, wonderful all around.

Notable singers: Juan Diego Florez, Diana Damrau, Michele Pertusi, Stephane Degout, Joyce DiDonato (yes, all of them)

Official link: Met Opera on Demand

Gounod, Faust (1859), Metropolitan Opera 2011

The opera: A very simplified version of Goethe's tragedy Faust, a scholar makes a deal with the devil, seduces a girl, then regrets it.

The video: Instead of a 16th century devil, the seducer here is 20th century science. Basically Faust is a scientist who works for the military, his work haunts him and kills everyone he loves. The video itself is serviceable, I just really like the concept.

Notable singers: Jonas Kaufmann, Rene Pape

Official link: Met Opera on Demand

Verdi, Don Carlos (1867), Paris 1996

The opera: Based on Schiller's tragedy Don Carlos, it's about a crown prince who is very bad at his job and in love triangles with literally every other character. Heart-rendingly sad. I love it.

The video: This is pure eye candy, everything is unbelievably aesthetic and well shot, the gestures are fantastic, there's a lot of stage blood at one point. Mildly 90s camp but in a good way.

Notable singers: Thomas Hampson, Roberto Alagna, Waltraud Meier

Official link: medici.tv

* Mostly based on whether I think the opera and production and video (and audio) are good. Very much my personal taste; I'm not an expert. I'm linking to official (paid) ways to watch them, all of them can also be found on the internet in various places, but the subtitle situation might be dire. Enjoy responsibly.

“...what is revealed little by little in The Phantom of the Opera is the world of illusion that is the theater. Indeed, beyond its historical significance, the setting of the Opera Garnier (where all but a select few of the novel’s scenes take place) constantly draws our attention to the relationship between reality and appearance, between art and artifice. As with two sides of a coin, we witness both creation (the onstage production of operas such as Faust) and the behind-the-scenes preparations and dramatics as dancers, singers, stagehands, costume and set designers, directors, and managers perform their functions with various degrees of enthusiasm and competency. We also are privy to the inner workings of the technical side of the Opera House, to the secrets of production that are used to create the imaginary world of the stage. This panoramic vision of what it takes to stage an opera is mirrored by what is ultimately a panoramic vision of the most grandiose portrayal of all: the role of opera ghost as played by Erik. It is through Erik—a master of creating and maintaining illusions—that the “powers of artifice are exemplified. Among the many tricks in Erik’s bag are magic, ventriloquism, skills in the construction of secret and trap doors, and the ability to create elaborate visual illusions (such as those of the torture chamber) and to (over)hear conversations at seemingly impossible distances. Artifice is also underscored in a very deliberate way by the mask that Erik wears, which separates—literally—the reality of his existence (his horrifically mutilated human face) from the perception that he wants to give to others (that of an apparition). The great disparity among the numerous eyewitness accounts of sightings of the ghost—from a walking skeleton, to a headless body, to a blazing skull, to glowing yellow cat’s eyes—speaks both to the natural complicity between artifice and imagination and to the ways in which Erik uses artifice to his advantage, understanding that terror is a more valuable currency than revulsion, and capitalizing upon the fear that he inspires.”

— Isabel Roche, in an introduction to The Phantom of the Opera

TY Isabel :) More answers from the Choose Violence fandom ask meme…

Screenshot or description of the worst take you’ve seen on Tumblr:

Congratulations, you’ve created a false dichotomy that reinforces puritanical attitudes about sex and pornography!!!

That one thing you see in fics all the time: A prose lexicon that makes reference to slang terms, objects, products, technologies, etc that do not yet exist in the universe in which the fic is set or were not yet widespread amongst the population in question. “He would not fucking say that” is often a subtype of this general syndrome, but a 1990s convenience in a 1960s story will yank me out of a fic just as fast depending on how egregious the error is.

Common fandom opinion everyone is wrong about: Gratefully this is NOT a fandom opinion that rears its head on Tumblr at all, but I see it on Twitter all the time: in Heat, Neil mentions having “a brother somewhere” he’s lost track of; every time Michael Mann re-enters the press cycle some bonehead will correctly observe that Vincent wears a similar gray suit in Collateral, and take this to mean that Vincent could be Neil’s long lost brother. This drives me nuts because there is in fact a reason so many Mann men share this wardrobe feature, and it does have to do with the tremendous intertextual continuity that he has cultivated in his work, but this “ain’t it,” as they say.

You’re mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like: “Ashamed” is maybe too strong of a word, but I wanted to swat myself with a rolled up newspaper while I was reading Faust and thinking about Faust/Mephisto. I’m not the first, not by a long shot, but at the time I was trying to focus on other interpretations of the text LOL

Who are the greatest characters in all of literature?

(Sub-questions: Best characters in Shakespeare? Do you agree with Bloom's sextet of Hamlet and Falstaff first equal, followed by Macbeth, Rosalind, Cleopatra, and Iago?)

It's an interesting question, because there essentially are no "characters" exactly before Shakespeare. People act scandalized by Bloom's "invented the human" line, but he's transparent about deriving it from Hegel, and it's not that different from the academically respectable New Historicist thesis on "Renaissance self-fashioning."

Before Shakespeare—and then after Shakespeare but only in popular fiction—there are myths and archetypes to whom a few stable characteristics attach but who are available for reinvention and recirculation, an infinitely malleable legendary surface without inherent psychological depth: Prometheus or Odysseus, Arthur or Roland, Count Dracula or Sherlock Holmes.

On the other hand, the type of modernity inaugurated by Shakespeare—and then passing from him into Romanticism, realism, and modernism—gives us the character of bottomless, labyrinthine depth rather than an iconic or archetypal but flat figure: tragic heroes like Hamlet, Milton's Satan, Goethe's Faust, Captain Ahab, and the Brothers Karamazov, or more strictly novelistic figures like Emmas Woodhouse and Bovary, Hester Prynne, Anna Karenina, Isabel Archer, Clarissa Dalloway. And then, reuniting the novel to the epic, the character to the archetype, perhaps the 20th century's greatest literary character: Leopold Bloom.

(Honorable mention for accomplishing the same synthesis as Joyce but from the other direction: Ursula Brangwen. If Joyce tailors a Homeric hero to Flaubertian proportions, Lawrence turn an Austen heroine into a Biblical prophetess.)

Best characters in Shakespeare: I do mostly agree with Bloom (Harold, not Leopold). I love Falstaff less than he does, though; there's a meanness or squalor in Falstaff he doesn't seem to see. I would also replace the bewildered Macbeth with the raging Lear, and I might add Prospero to our roll call, since he is (I fancy) the closest thing we have to a Shakespearean self-portrait.

This time last week I was getting ready to sing in Berlioz's Damnation de Faust with the symphony chorus and it was absolutely wonderful -- this was the season finale and the last performance in our home venue for two years while it's renovated, and it's also our musical director's favorite piece and the one that was cancelled on final dress night back in 2020. I wasn't even in the chorus yet in 2020 but it was cathartic all the same. And the principal cast was just absolutely perfect.

I feel like most of the time I'm not visible in the photos from concerts but you can see me in all of these.

#i have a link to a review of it that tumblr won't let me add for some reason #but we had a perfect cast #michael spyres was faust #john relyea was mephistopheles #and isabel leonard was marguerite #it's so amazing getting to perform with singers of that caliber #and maestro was so proud of all of us #it was such a wonderful experience and it took me like a week to come down from it #choir stuff #la damnation de faust
