I'd completely forgotten that I'd put in a library request for a DVD of the 2011 La Scala Donny G with Mattei, Netrobko, Terfel, Frittoli, and others. But it showed up today and I'm watching it and it's so freaking good.

This Don Giovanni review

#lmfao #i obviously don’t agree but i also think physical attractiveness isn’t needed for the role #why can’t he be seducing them with his enchanting voice alone? #funny as hell though #don giovanni #opera #peter mattei

Largo at factótum, Rossini.

Figaro como el personaje que hace de todo en la comarca, en el barrio, que es peluquero, es barbero, que es dentista, que es aconsejador de amores, que es el mil oficios, en esta pieza musical, hace alarde de todas las actividades en que podría desempeñarse, asimismo, muestra cuán preparado está, para todos aquellos menesteres, siempre con un tono lúdico, que domina en la ópera del barbero de Sevilla de Rossini.

Largo al factotum

La ran la lera, la ran la la.

La ran la lera, la ran la la.

¡Dejen paso al factótum de la ciudad, dejen paso!

¡La ran la, la ran la, la ran la, la! Rápido,

a la tienda, que ya es de día, rápido!

La ran la, la ran la, la ran la, la.

¡Ah, qué vida más hermosa, qué gran placer,

para un barbero de calidad, ¡de calidad!

¡Ah, bravo, Fígaro, bravo, bravísimo, bravo! La ran la, la ran la, la ran la, la.

¡Afortunadísimo eres en verdad!

La ran la, la ran la, la ran la, la. Dispuesto para hacer de todo, de noche y de día, va de un lado para otro,

Mejor ganga para un barbero ni vida más noble, no la hay, no. La, la ran la, la ran la, la ran la.

Navajas y peines, bisturíes y tijeras a mis órdenes todos están, tengo recursos, además de oficio, con la joven, con el caballero.

¡Ah, qué vida más hermosa, qué gran placer, qué gran placer, para un barbero de calidad, de calidad!

La ran la lera, la ran la la. La ran la lera, la ran la la.

Largo al factotum della città,

largo! La ran la, la ran la, la ran la, la!

Presto a bottega che l'alba è già, presto!

La ran la, la ran la, la ran la, la.

Ah, che bel vivere, che bel piacere, per un barbiere di qualità, di qualità!

Ah, bravo, Figaro, bravo, bravissimo; bravo!

La ran la, la ran la, la ran la, la. fortunatissimo per verità!

La ran la, la ran la, la ran la, la.

Pronto a far tutto, la notte,

il giorno sempre d'intorno in giro sta.

Miglior cuccagna per un barbiere, vita più nobile, no, non si dà.

La, la ran la, la ran la, la ran la.

Rasori e pettini, lancette e forbici,

al mio comando tutto qui sta.

V'è la risorsa poi del mestiere colla donnetta, col cavaliere.

Ah, che bel vivere,

che bel piacere che bel piacere per un barbiere di qualità, di qualità

Peter Mattei, en el Met, como Fígaro.

Behind-the-scenes footage of the reshoot of the squid sequence in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)

A soundstage with a tank was built specifically for the movie. It was used for underwater miniature shots, but most importantly, this was where the famous squid sequence of the movie was filmed. Building the soundstage alone cost $300,000, but costs would continue to climb once the studio realized it would need to shoot the sequence all over again.

The screenwriter Earl Felton originally described the scene as such in his script: "THE NAUTILUS breaks the surface in the red after-glow of sunset, the ugly body of the squid silhouetted against the horizon, its long tentacles writhing."

Peter Ellenshaw, matte artist: I reckoned it would be very dramatic if--and I was doing sketches on the film quite a lot--that if we did a red, deep red sky, and the squid comes out of the water, it would be a wonderful effect. Well they tried it. They put on that kind of wishy washy sky, and it looked ridiculous.

Richard Fleischer, director: [The first squid] had all the tentacles, but the tentacles were held up by very heavy cables, which you couldn't avoid seeing... The cables would break, or great hunks of the material would come apart, come off. And the inside was stuffed with kapok, and it was absorbing the water, so it's getting heavier and heavier and getting less and less mobile, and it was just impossible. So I'm trying to shoot this thing, and I'm sick to my stomach looking at it because I know it's not working.

After seeing the dailies of the squid sequence, Walt talked with director Richard Fleischer, and they both agreed that it looked comical. Thus, Walt halted production while they thought of an alternate solution.

Fleischer: [Walt] said, "Start a dramatic sequence, and leave the squid sequence alone." He said, "I'll get together with my geniuses at Disneyland, and we'll come up with a squid that will do something for you. It'll be much better than this." ...My writer Earl Felton had seen the dailies too. And I said, "You know, Earl, what are we going to do with this thing? It doesn't work, even if we get a good squid." He said, "Well, look: everything's wrong with this sequence. This should be a sequence that takes place at night in a violent storm with lightning and thunder and wind, tremendous wind, waves smashing everything, so that it becomes not just a fight against the squid, but a fight against nature as well. You'll only see the squid really in flashes of lightning, and you won't see any flaws it may have." So I kissed his hand and ran out to find Walt, and I ran right into Walt on the studio street, and I said, "Walt, this is the new concept for the squid fight." And he listened, and he said, "You're absolutely right." He didn't hesitate a minute. "That's the way we'll do it, and you tell Earl to write that sequence."

The new squid was redesigned and remodeled by sculptor Chris Mueller (who sculpted a majority of the animals on Jungle Cruise). In his redesign, he tapered out the ends of the tentacles to allow them to stretch out to twice their length. He added a brow ridge to the squid to give it a more menacing look and rounded out + shortened the head.

The new mechanics were concepted and created by technical effects expert Bob Mattey (who made the animals on Jungle Cruise move and eventually would become well-known for creating the three animatronic sharks in the film Jaws). He created a spring device that made the tentacles light in weight and fluid in movement. It required 28 men to operate the squid, and they would use vacuum hoses to make the tentacles writhe, inflating them to make them curl and deflating them to uncurl them.

With the new stormy setting, it also required the addition of wind machines, dump tanks, wave makers, and reengineering the Nautilus so that it could lean during the storm.

Most of this reshoot was shot by second unit director Jim Havens (pictured in the first and eighth gifs; James Curtis Havens on IMDb), who already had previous experience shooting action sequences, including the underwater scenes in Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Needless to say, the reshoot practically flooded the soundstage. You can see in the last gif that the water spilled outside the soundstage as Walt, with rubber boots on, walks into the building.

The reshoot cost an additional $250,000, but with only half of the principal photography having been shot, the production was in danger of being shut down. The film had to start taking from funds intended for Disneyland.

Fleischer: They had to get in the bankers... They asked them to supply money to finish the picture, and the bankers wanted to see what had been shot up to date. And that was a big day for us. I was working on the set, waiting to hear word whether we're going to come back to work the next day or shut down that night. It was really that close. Word got back to me. They loved it. And they're giving him a million and a half dollars to finish the picture. That's our squid story. It was a real hair-raiser. A movie in itself.
