Bluesky culture is to yeet trolls into the highest level of the atmosphere with what is called “the nuclear block,” but should actually be called an “Exospheric block” because we handle trolls by depriving them of oxygen until they drift into outer space
legitimately one of the most pathetic things i've ever seen on a social media website
Im an opera singer I fucking LOVE echo chambers
I will never understand this industry in the US. Like what do you mean for a paid chorus/ensemble position I have to be an independent artist who also lives locally to the org. but to be considered for any kind of soloist or principal role I have to be a managed artist from out of town ???

Really missing my time in this fantastic production of Dead Man Walking. I have a lot more music coming up that I’m excited about but I still can’t get over the fact that this experience went by so quickly!

Can’t believe it’s almost time for my next debut! Two weeks ago I was Joseph De Rocher and this Sunday I’ll be singing Jesus of Nazareth in Bach’s Johannes-Passion

As opera singers I don’t think we talk enough about certain topics when it comes to roles:
💠 learning roles from scratch
💠 working with conductors & anticipating their needs
💠 proper acting techniques
💠 dramatic integrity
💠 vocal pacing
💠 performance anxiety
💠 proper rest

A reminder that this entire Trans Panic thing is just another shitty step in a long history of fake panics completely invented by political hacks.
Trans people are very likely not affecting your lives at all and they certainly are not the cause of any problems on a national level. It's BULLSHIT.

So annoyed that I haven’t made myself sit and watch Conclave. I read the book twice last year and loved it lol
The white smoke belches in the chapel as Conclave, based on the novel of the same title by Robert Harris, has picked up its first Oscar win tonight upon winning Best Adapted Screenplay.

Like absolutely no shade to Zoe Saldaña for her win. She’s an acclaimed and deserving actress. But the movie itself was insulting to anyone involved with music-making on any level - particularly narrative driven vocal scores

I’m borderline disgusted that there is any competition at all between Emilia Perez and Wicked. Even more infuriating that it’s receiving nominations and awards

The daily life of a performer is….kinda boring. I have a big rehearsal this evening so I’ve spent all day cleaning, walking my dogs, and warming up. That’s all
