Javert ✨

Got to see Daniel Gutmann and the Munich Les Mis production in general for the last time last night 💔 I already miss that fabulous cast.

Anyway, off to marry that rarely thinking man. Maybe it will save him from the bridge.

Doing one of these but with my mutuals after seeing this image on my dash today!!

..Y'know he may be the god of war but.. I'm not mad. No, no not at all. :)

does Austrian operatic baritone Daniel Gutmann have a list of whichever roles in his repertoire deserve to do parkour onstage after his Don Giovanni did a backflip

Congratulations to Team Italy for winning a historical bronze medal at World Team Trophy 2025!

2025 World Championships Preview

I can’t believe it’s time for Worlds! 🥺 I’m happy that we get to delay the post-season depression by a couple of weeks this season because World Team Trophy is in April! But first we must survive Worlds.

Men - My Predicted Podium

Ilia Malinin (USA) - I fear that he’s going to do the 7 quad program again. Really wish he would take some quads out because doing 7 makes for a very messy program but I’m sure the crowd will eat up whatever he does. The only way he’s not winning is if something goes terribly wrong. IDK what he’s thinking with this new AI chat bot thing lol.

Yuma Kagiyama (Japan) - Heard he’s lowering his jump difficulty a bit in order to secure the Olympic spots for Japan which is very admirable. I think it would be so cool if he wins. I want two squeaky clean programs from him pls.

Junhwan Cha (South Korea) - I think it’s gonna be really close between Jun and Mikhail for 3rd place but I think Jun will be able to sneak ahead with his PCS as long as he puts down all his technical content with no hiccups. If he makes it on the podium I will be so happy.

(Rest of top 10 in no particular order)

Adam Siao Him Fa (France) - It has not been his season so I’m just hoping that he can put down two solid programs. His landings were scary af at Europeans. I really want him to do well but I am nervous.

Daniel Grassl (Italy) - I don’t love the fact that he’s probably gonna be in the top 10. His score is really gonna be decided by how strict the callers are going to be. Can’t wait to hate watch the Billy Elliot free - it’s literally my least favorite program of the season.

Nikolai Memola (Italy) - Grand Prix season was rough but he was pretty solid at Europeans. If he is able to perform like he did at Europeans he’ll end up in the second half of the top 10 but that’ll be a a good finish for him.

Shun Sato (Japan) - I am really nervous about Shun. The last two competitions I saw him at were JNats and World University Games and he did not do well in either. It’s been a hot sec tho so who knows what’ll happen. I will root for the fuecoco trio no matter what.

Mikhail Saidorov (Kazakhstan) - I think Jun is going to have to work really hard if he wants to challenge Mikhail for 3rd place. If Mikhail performs like he did at Four Continents it’s gonna be hard to beat. Really looking forward to his performance!

Lukas Britschigi (Switzerland) - I am a little nervous about him because he is recovering from butt surgery. Unless things go wrong for top contenders I don’t see him making it into the top 6.

Andrew Torgashev (USA) - Pizza King has had such a good season! I hope he can finish it off with a solid performance at Worlds. The pressure will def be on him to help get those 3 spots because who knows what Jason is going to do.

Women - My Predicted Podium

Kaori Sakamoto (Japan) - I think Kaori is going to have to do better than the best she’s done this season if she’s going to get 1st but I believe in her. I love her so much and if she 4-peats I will never stop talking about it ever.

Chaeyeon Kim (South Korea) - Miss girl was unstoppable at Four Continents. She always looks as cool as a cucumber, so I am not worried about her nerves. I know she will go out and kill it, I just hope she gives a smidge more in the PCS department.

Amber Glenn (USA) - If she puts down two clean programs and with a 3A in each, miss girl is going to win. I am a little nervous about her nerves because I’m sure there’s a lot of pressure on her as a favorite going into a home Worlds. I just want her to do well!

(Rest of top 10 in no particular order)

Nina Pinzarrone (Belgium) - Worlds did not go the way she wanted last year so I’m hoping she can get some redemption this year. Europeans was the best I’ve seen her all season so I hope she can harness some positive momentum.

Lara Naki Gutmann (Italy) - Miss girl is going to have to do her best in order to squeak into the top 10 but I really hope she does it because I love her. I’m interested to see what is going to happen next season with Anna Pezzetta on the scene.

Mone Chiba (Japan) - I love her so much, but unless some things go wrong I don’t think she’s going to make it onto the podium which is so sad. Four Continents was really rough for her so I’m looking forward to seeing her in better shape!

Wakaba Higuchi (Japan) - I think she can end up in the top 6 if she nails everything (Looking at you 3Lz3T) . Really hope the judges give her the PCS she deserves.

Kimmy Repond (Switzerland) - Europeans was a little rough but my girl is a fighter and I just know she’s going to go down swinging. She’s looked very hungry and determined all season. I hope she can put down a program she is proud of.

Alysa Liu (USA) - Can’t wait to cry during her short program again. I don’t think she’s gonna get close to her US Nationals score (because all nationals scores are fake) but I do think she has the capability to cross the 200 pt mark which she hasn’t done internationally this season.

Isabeau Levito (USA) - IDK what to expect from her but I hope she does well because if she does bad she’ll look sad and then I’ll get sad. It’s been so long since we’ve seen her compete, so I’m really excited to watch her programs again.

I will see you all on the other side! Happy watching everyone! I am nervous but excited!!!!

GUYS!! I saw Les Mis! In Munich!!!

Let's recap!

The Cast:

Daniel Gutmann as Javert. He was incredible. Definitely my personal highlight. Everytime he sang his voice just ROARED. And he was menacing holy shit. Aggggggh I'm normal about him

Barbara Obermeier as Eponine. When I first heard her sing in Act 1, I knew she was gonna kill it in Act 2. And she did.

Merlin Farcel aka Enjolras. His voice was so perfect I LOVED all the high notes, BUT:

The beard. Sorry, but in my world Enjolras doesn't have a beard. Plus, it makes him look like Peter Maffay

Madame Thenardier was PERFECT (I don't remember who played her that night😭) She was so funny and the audience really loved her.

The Music:

At first, I felt a bit underwhelmed by the orchestra. To be fair, I listened to the 10th anniversary recording SO much, that I really got used to that grand orchestra sound.

There was an electric guitar and at one point an electric bass when Javert sang, which I really loved.

During Master of the House/ Beggars at the Feast you could really see the orchestra bopping their heads and having fun and that made me very happy

I really loved the brass section, they really stood out (That French Hurn during On My Own????!)

The Costumes:

I don't know why, but the Les Amis were wearing these caps all the time. I have never seen a production with them in it. Is this a historically accurate thing?? I didn't really like them, they looked very plastic/shiny and fell out of place

I cannot find a picture but in the beginning of Act 1 Valjean wore a pink vest and then a purple coat which both looked very cheap and which I both didn't like (maybe it was because of the light? The colors felt very unnatural)

Eponine's outfit. At first I thought it didn't look shabby enough. But it looks so badass I'll let it pass

Why don't you let Enjolras wear his red vest??

What is Marius wearing? Goofy boy

Big Mad Hatter vibes from Thenardier. I loved his and the Patron Minettes outifits, they looked very edgy

This is perfect. Perfect. I only wished he had undone his hair for Javert's Suicide (he did, but only for the last 10 seconds)

The Stage:

The stage had a turning middle and stairs that could be moved around, similar like in Hamilton.

They did a cool transition with young Cosette walking up the stairs and old Cosette walking down

Also, they had some cool staging with buildings moving around for Stars. But I feel like there was almost a bit too much happening in the background for this song.

I don't know why they didn't have the Barricades turn and show Enjolras hang upside down. It's such a cool/tragic moment!

During the Barricade scenes, the stage sometimes felt a bit empty. I mean, there were always like 15 people standing around. Maybe the Barricades were to small/not high enough

Empty chairs at empty tables. Where were the empty chairs and empty tables??

In Everyday/A Heart Full of Love Reprise single leaves started falling down on the stage (Like Valjean entering the Fall/Winter of his life) I loved that.

Also, the parallel of Marius learning to walk again using a cane, and Valjean loosing his ability to walk using a cane. I never noticed this before!

There are SO many cool things about the staging I could talk about here. But I want to mention some other topics as well:

The "Spirit" of the Show:

There wasn't a single French flag to be seen. Some red ones, but no French flags.

In the trailer, the director said he wanted to create a more universal setting, speaking to everyone in the audience

I think that's a great sentiment but like. Everyone has French names. There were titles above the stage telling us the year and locations (Places in France) of the events. The title of the show is French.

So I think adding the flags (aka a bit more French nationalism?) would have seemed a lot more convincing for the cause of the students and the whole spirit of the show

But maybe this also has to do with the show being in German? I don't know and I'd really like to discuss it. Maybe someone here made a similar experience seeing it in another language

And last, but MOST importantly:

What about Valvert and Enjoltaire?

In the Confrontation, Javert and Valjean got really close to each other. And I mean fighting each other and then stopping just to sing directly into each other's faces.

Instead of running infront of the court in Who Am I, Valjean just goes to Javert and rips his shirt open? Okay, go off I guess

In Drink with Me, we have a platonic forehead touch between Enjolras and Grantaire. Sadly, that's all I noticed between them 😔

Also, the fact that Grantaire is supposed to be ugly/shabby/a drinker/a sceptic got totally lost, which really takes away from his character.

Conclusion:

All the actors were good, some of them were FANTASTIC. I'd watch it again just for the guy playing Javert, if I could. God, he was SO GOOD

The music was all it should be, maybe a bit too reserved (but again, this might be because I am so used to the 10th anniversary concert)

I really loved some costumes and I also really disliked some

The staging was great, some choices confused me (flags, barricades etc.)

Would I watch it again?

Absolutely!

To be clear, some of the things here might sound more negative than I actually mean. It's just that I have watched SO many different productions online, that I fixated on all the great performances and how I think they should be done. Of course everyone has different opinions here.

Okay thanks for reading if you made it here. Have a great day!

2022 Beijing Olympics - Team Event Review - Team Italy

In contention for a medal: Not really.

Back in 2018, Italy had a runaway shot at a bronze which made them changes strategy and use their strongest skaters across all disciplines. This time, they chances aren’t as good but they do have a shot to quality for the FS segment and it will depend on how their other competitor for the spot (Canada, China, Georgia) will do.

First Strategy - Two switches (most likely strategy imo):

Men - Daniel Grassl, Matteo Rizzo

Dance - Guignard/Fabbri

Women - Lara Naki Gutmann

Pairs - Della-Monica/Guarise, Ghilardi/Ambrosini

With Grassl being naional champions he is likely to get the SP. However, if team Italy will qualify for the FS I believe they’ll put Rizzo in and give him some need Olympic ice experience while letting Grassl rest for the individual event. In Pairs, because DM/G have been injured this season and G/A already saying at Euros they’ll do the team event, I think DM/G will do the SP while G/A the FS (unless DM/G are too injured for that which I doubt).

JGP EGNA RECAP

Yes, this past saturday I decided to get in my car right after work destination Egna for the last JGP, it was only an hour and half trip, come on XD

Love the general cheesy and relaxed atmosphere and had great company. We had Zich and Malinin running around and pestering everybody (or generally being busy talking to people waaaay taller and that was hilarious), Shmuratko’s baby brother doing what every annoying baby brother would do XD, ice dancers cheering for everybody.

The competition: reeeally enjoyed junior men in general, Luc Maierhofer floored me: beautiful high jumps that covered so much distance, skating skills, interpretation and he actually got a page from Tessa Virtue’s outfits for his costume, simple but so beautiful live (well, he’s beautiful, I admit it XD). Only thing, that axel. Please, fix the axel boy! Malinin was entertaining, I really liked Selevko and Chen, well done from Adam, he’s recovering, but Brian, please, YOUR HAIIIIRRRR XD

Good fight from Gumennik, the only one who actually looked thiner on youtube than reality XD But I really like him, I’m happy he qualified!

Shmuratko had an....interesting outfit, let’s say! XD Good program, I’d like to see him evolve in the future, plus he can have space in Ukraine right now. And he was so cute outside, you can’t help but cheer for him.

Daniel, yessssssss! You did it my boy! You almost kill me from anxiety but you did it XD Can’t wait to see him in Turin!

Junior ladies, so happy to saw some small federation, I’m always here to new countries to joying the figure skating party, the more the merrier!

Park delivered so well, a pity for her short! Also I hope to see Kiibus grown up in the future. Ruiter won me over with Harry Potter music, I admit XD

Very good job from Sinitsyna, I think Frolova still has a lot of work to do.

And a big YAY for team Italy with all 3 in the top ten! Alessia was stunning and deserved the podium, well done girl, keep up!

Also, now I have a picture with our saviour Ted Barton, my life is complete XD
