I will NEVER understand the purpose of cutting shit from an opera.

Getting rid of an entire piece is bad enough (rip Don Carlo's lacrimosa, forever in our hearts), but cutting out certain parts from an ensemble (for some reason it's ensembles who usually suffer)?!

Atrocious. Despicable. Unforgivable.

#opera tag #look for fucks sake #i pay for the entire opera and i get like 3/4 of it????? fuck off #my local opera house cut out like half of Le nozze di Figaro. i kid you not. #they cut out like half of the act 2 finale (which is. one of my all time favourite finales) #and now im listening to this Don Carlo with Bastianini (duh) Stella and Christoff (and. ugh Cossotto) #AND THEY CUT 'BEN LO SAPETE'??? #Filippo goes 'che? confessar osate a me? ADULTERA CONSORTE' like. what the actual fuck?!??!!! #AND they randomly cut a few seconds from 'Ah sii maledetto'???? what's the purpose??? why would you do that???? #i dont get it. #i went to one Don Carlo a few years ago where they cut the 'dio che nell'alma' reprise after the garden trio. #they just immediately went with auto da fe. this is unimaginable. #and they cut out bits of the auto da fe. the flemish departees went like 'sire sire' and Filippo started singing right away #OK IM FUCKIN TRIPPING OR DID THEY JUST CUT PER ME GIUNTO FROM THAT RECORDING #they did. oh god. there is no Per me giunto. fuck. i am speechless. THE AUDACITY. #i hate this recording so much #i could smother conductors/directors like that with my bare hands. i could. fuck you if you do that.
