The coolest thing about opera is that most of them have existed for actual centuries and people have just run out of normal ways to stage them. You either do something boring and predictable or you go off the fucking rails.
We've all been in this enclosure so long we've started losing our minds but we don't want to leave. In fact we want to see how much crazier we can get.
#this post is motivated by a bunch of stills of various productions i've seen#but mostly bc i met a singer who was in a Dido & Aeneas prod#where the singers were encased in golden statues from the chest down and physically couldn't move#like yeah sure why not#it's been 300 years#idk i just love how wild the world of opera is#this is why orchestra musicians think we're freaks btw#i also think this “going crazy” thing applies to music itself#not writing#operablr#ramblies#back to my operaposting i fear 😔
