Sorry if you're already over 50, I ran out of room (you're welcome to leave your thoughts in the tags or replies!)

If you're younger than 10, get the fuck off Tumblr. People are saying swears on here!

i encourage you to go to your favourite writer's ao3 page and comment on an older fic, because i can assure you that it will make their day. It can mean so much to see your work doesn't disappear into the void to be never seen again after a day of people interacting with it. Just, if you have the time, go comment on an older work

(pls reblog this to try and get as much writers a bit of appreciation)

Watching the Aix-en-Provence La Traviata for the first time on DVD, aka the first time with decent quality. I am even more in love with this production than before.

Tenors sad and disheveled in a white shirt on the floor is what opera is all about.

#physical media #my beloved #also #why cds over vinyl? #because vinyl is much more fragile #and cd boxsets can get soooo much music in a small space #my 135 maria callas cd boxset would be ridiculous space-wise on vinyl

Went looking for something to watch in honor of Barbara Frittoli's birthday, and is operablr aware that a certain site that has Opera that is on Video has her in SiBo from Vienna with Dima and Furlanetto? Did you know this?!
