Rewatching the Lepage Ring in BRay and still loving it. I had forgotten @lisetteoropesa.com was one of the Rhinemaidens!

A beautifully sung Walküre at Opéra de Paris, but as usual and unfortunately another messy, meaningless and ugly Calixto Bieito production…

If you’ve got Wagner fans in your family and are out of ideas for Xmas, the Zurich Ring (Noseda/Homoki) just came out in BR/DVD

Ein Kolossal Katastrophe. Left at interval. This Damnation de Faust at TCE is by far the worst production I have seen in my life at the opera. Nothing to save, with Bernheim gone. And Van Horn needs to stop trying to play devils in French opera. He’s just not good and massacres the text. I’m angry.

I have no luck with La Damnation de Faust at TCE. 18 months ago I got a cancellation from Stan and now one from Benny… I am cursed 😩

Am going to see la Damnation de Faust tonight at TCE just for Benny (heard the rest of the production is dreadful) and Benny just pulled out due to illness… 😩😭😱

L’Opéra de Paris poursuit sa nouvelle et très attendue production de la Tétralogie Wagnérienne mise en scène par Calixto Bieito. Nous nous demandions précédemment s’il fallait investir dans L’Or (du Rhin), alors, on en est où désormais avec La Walkyrie ?

Pretty Yende announcing « Tosca Debut Loading » on Instagram is unexpected… I am perplexed.

No electricity since mid-afternoon. Thankfully Inhad reloaded my phone because without light there isn’t anything to do, I can’t even read…

Huw Montague-Rendall owes the opera world an Oreste. Hope it will come soon enough.

A star is born : Tamara Bounazou is the best Iphigénie I ever heard or saw. Phenomenal voice and stage presence. Brava!

I’m never in favour of an opera singer having to do the full Monty… I find it both distracting for the audience and humiliating for the singer. And if you really want nakedness for the staging it works just as well with nude underwear on.

I’m at Opéra Comique for Iphigénie en Tauride. Bring it on!

I am disoriented… I keep opening Facebook instead of Bluesky because the apps are next to each other on my screen and now are the same colour 😫
v1.109 is rolling out today! #NewProfilePic

We've given the app a mini makeover with some new shades of blues! Plus, a whole bunch of bug fixes and performance improvements to make your experience better.

The colour of the Bluesky app has changed. I am unsettled.

Suite à la disparition soudaine de Pierre Audi en mai dernier, l’auteur et metteur en scène Ted Huffman est nommé Directeur Général du Festival d’Aix-en-Provence pour lui succéder. Sa personnalité pourrait aisément faire écho à l’identité du Festival.
