I love living with music majors

The way I feel currently as I dive into the role of Charlotte myself.

When I was in eighth grade, I discovered the musical A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC and instantly decided that I wanted to play Charlotte. What WAS it about thirteen-year-old innocent me that made me look at the bitter, snarky character who knows her dolt of a husband is cheating on her and say “me?”

[angrysoprano]

Charlotte: He talks softly of his wars, and his horses and his whores. I think love’s a dirty business!

Anne:

therapist: the semihemidemisemiquaver isn’t real, it can’t hurt you

the semihemidemisemiquaver:

[angrysoprano]

music theory professor: behold! a vii0 chord in root position with a doubled leading tone!!!

the entire class: *collective gasp, someone faints*

[angrysoprano]

Me, Playing a woman: *Accidentally leading my dance partner the whole time*

Choreographer: You’re leading again!

Partner: Did she ever stop?

Me: I would do no such thing.

Me, Playing a man: Sorry if I’m bad, I’m not used to leading.

Me, Internally: Ah yes, finally, my element.

My partner, as we twirl dramatically across the stage: Are you sure you’ve never led before?

Me, a liar: Not much.

Do the Clemenza feels genuinely ever leave?

I’m having serious Clemenza feels right now

[angrysoprano]

I AM SO HERE FOR THIS!

Thing I want: a mezzo to release an album titled “fuckboy” and it’s just arias of annoying teenage boys who think they are in love and need to get laid.

[angrysoprano]

Because mezzos

the answer to everything (via operarox)

Honestly, the real, constant mood.

This gem I found on Youtube.

My Range: Extends a 3rd on top

Voice Teacher: I think you might be a Soprano now

My Voice: What if I got “darker?”

Voice Teacher: So...Pants roles?

[angrysoprano]

I feel seen and appreciated...

Sexual Orientation: Obscure Mozart mezzo arias

opera situations that keep happening

1. Mad Scene: usually happens to coloratura sopranos, but occasionally tenors or basses can catch it too

2. Standard Baritone Overreaction: you are a decent baritone minding your own business, then something happens and you think your wife cheated on you with the tenor. maybe she did but either way you have the irresistible urge to shank the tenor (or your wife. or both)

3. Tenor Hissyfit: the tenor equivalent of the above. if soprano interacts with any other man she a thot! this can range from calling her a whore to whining about your broken heart to straight up murder. for some reason sopranos don’t dump these immature jerks.

4. Tenor/Baritone Duet of Scorching Passion: no matter whether you are best friends or archenemies. if you are the same generation and there is a duet there will be homoerotic tension.

5. Sensible Bass or Mezzo Best Friend Not Listened To: these poor characters know they are in an opera and try to warn the reckless tenor/soprano/baritone in vain 

6. Bass Aria of Depression: bass (or bass-baritone) is sad and/or haunted by his past fuckups. lowkey wants to die.

7. Previously On: this can go to any character. isn’t it lovely when most of the plot happened long ago?

8. I’m In Love Aria: typical for tenors and sopranos, occasionally baritones. really nothing else but waxing poetic about the object of your desire. cabaletta optional but strongly recommended. 

9. I’m Evil And Here’s My Nefarious Plan: usually sung by a baritone or bass, the operatic equivalent of the Disney villain song. Supervillain laugh at the end is a nice bonus.

10. I’m Dying, Time For My Most Technically Difficult Aria: the closer to death you are, the better your singing! Tuberculosis? No problem. Bleeding out? +15 to legato. Poison? Take as long as you like.

11. The Ensemble Where Everyone Stops To Sing About Their Feelings: characters who would normally instantly aggro at each other will stand 2 steps away and sing together in perfect harmony. 

12. The Official Love Duet: usually less passionate than the aforementioned tenor/baritone duets.

13. Filler Chorus: the main characters need to rest or change costume. let’s sing about, idk, wine? war? flip a coin

14. And Now, The Weather: orchestral interlude

15. Disastrous Party: any dinner party, ball or wedding will go horribly wrong unless it’s a comic opera, and sometimes even then.

16. Prison Scene: someone (usually the tenor) is in jail. The love interest, best friend or enemy will visit. If jailed character is scheduled for execution, they will also often have the

17. I Will Die Soon And This Kinda Sucks Aria: If lucky, their sad laments are interrupted by a friendly visitor. If not, the villain will come in and gloat or they are led off to be executed.

18. Fatherly Concern: Being the father of a reckless tenor or soprano is not easy. Your kid insists on ruining their life with a love affair, often wants to die, and doesn’t listen to you. 

19. Soprano/Mezzo Catfight: usually over some tenor who isn’t worth it. they should kiss instead 

20. Soprano/Mezzo Kissing: ah, pre-Romantic or Rossini. Much better.

21. Showoff Aria: all about the extremes - highs, lows, fast tempo, coloraturas, extreme sustained notes. Often half of these are singer inserts but now You Have To Do Them Or You Suck.

Me: [Gets out of casket and walks out of own funeral]

Friends and Family: "Where are you going?"

Me: "I have choir."

It’s a Friday night at 11 pm, and I’m watching Joyce DiDonato masterclasses on youtube.

Why do you love playing pants roles so much?

What she says: I think it's a great opportunity to explore the gender roles of not only our society but society hundreds of years ago.

What she means: you get to make out with cute girls and also I feel like alice coote

I just came here to have fun and I'm honestly feeling so attacked right now...
