So... I've started a tradition of bringing a group of friends to performances at the Metropolitan Opera and creating illustrated orientation guides to help everyone get prepared for each show. The next one is Richard Strauss & Hugo von Hofmannstal's Der Rosenkavalier, and I'm proud of how the document turned out... even if it does run to 23 pages 😅.

Some excerpts:

Illustration by Al Hirschfeld of the 1982 Metropolitan Opera cast: (L-R) the Italian tenor, Sophie, the Marschallin, Octavian, Herr Faninal, Baron Ochs

On the final trio:

Musically, the thing that really blew my mind about this number is the way it builds to an unbearably beautiful climax (3:33), then a heartbreaking chord change (3:43), then it feels like gravity turns upside down (3:50), then somehow goes sideways (3:59), then FINALLY resolves (4:10). I’ll never be able to adequately explain how this makes me feel. It blows past all expectations, again and again, and just when you start to catch your breath, the bottom drops out from under you again, revealing a whole new level that you never dreamed was possible.

The most common way to stage this scene is to spread the three singers across the stage, each processing their turbulent emotions alone to the audience. But I also like the staging from Zürich in 2004, which keeps them tightly together and even has the characters touch at key points. It also helps that all three performers look like they’re about to fucking explode.

Feel free to read and share, and let me know what you think!

Maggie Stiefvater really played the “what car would this character drive” game with all her characters

And sometimes the answer to that is “horse” and that’s ok

#sometimes it’s carnivorous water horse with razor sharp teeth blood red coloring a lame leg and a heart of gold #sometimes it’s an eco friendly orange 1973 Camaro with no engine that her friend pulled out of his dreams during a homoerotic mental spiral #and that’s ok #maggie stiefvater #the scorpio races #the raven cycle #puck connolly #sean kendrick #blue sargent #richard gansey #gansey

First Contact (1982). First Contact is a 1983 documentary by Bob Connolly and Robin Anderson which recounts the discovery of a flourishing native population in the interior highlands of New Guinea in 1930 in what had been thought to be an uninhabited area. It is based on the book of the same name by the same authors. Inhabitants of the region and surviving members of the Leahy brothers’ gold prospecting party recount their astonishment at this unforeseen meeting. 

This is a really fascinating slice of history and an interesting chapter in both Australia and Papua New Guinea's history. A meeting point of worlds and a really up close and uncomfortably personal look at colonialism in action. Depressing, but pretty remarkable as an historical insight. 7/10.

Till the Clouds Roll By (1946)

My rating: 4/10

I got this movie as part of a box set, so I went in pretty much without knowing anything about it - to the point that I don't think I'd ever heard of Jerome Kern. I still don't think I know much about him, by all accounts this is heavily fictionalized, but you'd think if they were going to do that, they'd at least come up with an interesting story. This one is dull as drywall, and it most certainly did not need 2 hours to be told. As for the song and dance numbers, they're fine, and I can recognize the technical accomplishment in some of them, but not really my kind of music - which made the 15 minute medley of his songs, performed by (presumably) a bunch of big names of the day, almost as boring as the rest of the movie to me.
