La Habanera by Yello.

[reine-du-sourire]

Grelle as Carmen. Singing the Habanera specifically. Absolutely nailing the high notes.

[pristina-nomine]

Girls when L’oiseau que tu croyais surprendre battit de l’aile et s’envola – l’amour est loin, tu peux l’attendre; tu ne l’attends plus, il est là!

Maria Cebotari - Habanera (L'amour Est Un Oiseau Rebelle) • Bizet: Carmen

[youraveragecatastrophe]

So does EVERYONE who was at Carmen's performance that night got brainwashed along with Dr Dennam and Carmen? Does it stop working after some time or are they all stuck with this? Do random people suddenly drop everything they're doing and try to 'launch a boomerang' whenever they hear L'amour est un oiseau rebelle? Can the opera singers even perform again??

Can you imagine? You're just some dude going to see an opera and you get roped up in the stupidest evil plan ever and now you can't even listen to the best aria in the world. I'd be so pissed.

If you aren’t watching the olympic opening ceremony you need to right now. The heavy metal band Gojira playing while standing on the walls of the Conciergerie immediately followed up by an opera singer in a prop boat wearing a feathered hat singing Habanera from Carmen. Imagery directly evoking the execution of Marie Antionette performed in the place she was held during the revolution. Blood red streamers. A gaudily dressed throuple eyefucking in a library. The torchbearer is an individual of indeterminate gender dressed like an Assassin’s Creed character and parkouring on top of roofs like one. Direct references to Arrivée d’un train en gare de La Ciotat and Le voyage dans la lune the former of which came out of the screen and almost hit the torch bearer in a very cinematic moment. Apparently Lady Gaga and Celine Dion sang earlier. Holy shit.

Tonight’s Midsomer Murders episode I’m watching is centered around an amateur opera production, so I promptly thought of you!

Got any operas (or pieces from operas) to recommend? This episode got my dad and I talking again about going to see some opera sometime, so hopefully we can make that happen at some point! :D

omg how fun!!!!!!!!! :D

honestly, i recommend any opera that your local company performs, BUT you should definitely go if it's:

Porgy and Bess (get tickets ASAP if so bc they WILL sell out)

anything by Puccini (esp La Boheme)

honestly anything by Verdi too (esp La Traviata)

Carmen

anything by Mozart (esp a comedic one)

here are some snippets as well!

la traviata - one of the beginning scenes

symphonic suite of la boheme

the extremely famous queen of the night aria by mozart

habanera from carmen

summertime from porgy and bess

i hope you have a chance to go soon! :D

Since you brought up Wolfstar!daughter and her French album, I can also see her making covers of famous French songs like La Vie En Rose and Habanera. That way she can reintroduce the classics to a new generation.

-🦄

Yes! I can see her ending her album with classics like those.

La Habanera has become the purest source of energy to me lately. Opera makes me want to dance till I’m transported to a time that has never been, when passion was expressed without limitations.

1970s: Allende

Quién fue Salvador Allende y cómo influyó en el pueblo Chileno? Allende tuvo un gran impacto en la población Chilena cuando fue presidente. Sin embargo, no llegó a ser presidente fácilmente. Para empezar ¿quién fue salvador allende? Salvador Allende nació en junio de 1908 en Chile en el seno de una familia de clase media alta. En 1932 recibió el grado de médico en la Universidad de Chile. En 1933 ayudó a fundar el Partido Socialista en Chile. En 1937 fue elegido diputado y en 1938 fue nombrado ministro de Salud de la administración del nuevo presidente, Pedro Aguirre Cerda. Se postuló para presidente cuatro veces en su vida en 1952, 1958, 1964 y 1970, pero no ganó hasta la última vez. Finalmente fue presidente y comenzó a cambiar la sociedad Chilena para volverla más socialista, pero manteniendo su forma democrática de gobierno, respetando las libertades civiles de las personas y respetando el debido proceso legal. El gobierno de Allende se apoderó de propiedades estadounidenses en Chile sin compensación, compró sitios mineros y de fabricación de propiedad privada para utilizarlos en cooperativas campesinas, aumentó los salarios, congeló los precios e imprimió una gran cantidad de dinero sin respaldo. Todo esto terminó teniendo resultados negativos para Chile. Por ejemplo, provocó una tensión entre Chile y el gobierno de Estados Unidos e hizo que otros países tuvieran menos confianza en el gobierno de Chile. En 1972, Chile sufría una producción estancada, menos exportaciones, menos inversiones privadas, reservas financieras agotadas, muchas huelgas, más inflación, menos comida y malestar interno. Allende perdió el control de sus propios partidarios radicales de izquierda. Los únicos países con los que Chile estableció relaciones fueron Cuba y China. Allende todavía contaba con el apoyo de muchos Chilenos. su coalición obtuvo el 44% de los votos en las elecciones al Congreso de marzo de 1973. pero, en septiembre de 1973, su gobierno fue derrocado por un golpe militar liderado por Augusto Pinochet, del que Emma habla en su blog. Durante este golpe se produjo un ataque al palacio presidencial donde murió Allende. Los oficiales militares afirmaron que Allende se suicidó, pero otros creían que lo había matado el golpe y que su "suicidio" fue un montaje.

Durante la presidencia de Allende, el movimiento de la Nueva Canción Chilena continuó. Antes de que Allende fuera presidente, el gobierno no apoyaba estas canciones de protesta, pero mientras Allende era presidente, el gobierno apoyaba el movimiento. Los cantantes ahora viajaron, compartiendo su música con otros países. La música del movimiento Nueva Canción Chilena tuvo un gran impacto en la gente de otros países porque les dio a las personas el poder de tener una opinión política fuerte y darse cuenta de que incluso si no pensaban que tenían voz y voto, podían actuar. En Chile incluso se celebró el primer festival de Nueva Canción Chilena. Sin embargo, después del golpe militar, el apoyo a este movimiento de protesta terminó repentinamente. Músicos famosos del movimiento Nueva Canción Chilena podrían ser castigados y fueron castigados por hacer música, algo que Emma comenta en su blog.

  Para concluir, Allende tuvo un gran impacto en la sociedad y la música en Chile cuando estuvo en el poder. El ayudó a potenciar el movimiento de la Nueva Canción Chilena y le dio más poder a Víctor Jara y Violeta Parra. Yo recomiendo el blog llamado "Décadas de Música en Argentina" por Sharanya y Amaris porque habla de un tema muy similar al nuestro. Ellas hablan sobre muchas décadas de música diferente en Argentina y también hablan sobre el movimiento de la Nueva Canción pero en Argentina, no en Chile. Una cosa diferente y muy interesante que ellas hablan sobre es los otros tipos de música que eran populares durante el movimiento de la nueva canción como la polka, la habanera, las melodías españolas e italianas y el candombe africano. Un otro blog muy interesante y relacionado a estos blogs se llama “la Música Hispana” por Aydan y Madeline. A cambio de canciones, ellos hablan más sobre tipos diferentes de las danzas. Ellos hablan sobre flamenco y tipos de danzas que existían durante la Revolución Mexicana. Ellos hablan un poco de canciones también, pero la información de las danzas es muy interesante. ¡Por favor, mira estos blogs! ¡Vas a encantarlos!

I want to start listening to/watching opera do you have any suggestions to start with?

oh boy, this is a hell of a question with a lot of possible answers! opera is super subjective, and everyone with a passion for it has a different seminal experience—most often that's a live production of La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi, La bohème by Giacommo Puccini, or Carmen by Georges Bizet. really the best possible in for opera is live performance—but there's a reason opera's considered a hobby for rich people, so in lieu of shelling out for tickets!!!

below the cut is a list of arias that fucken rip (and a few full-length opera recs)! this is definitely not your, like, greatest hits list, because i think the arias everyone shoves at people are deeply fucking boring—but you definitely have heard the first three before!

Habanera (L'amour est un oiseau rebelle) sung by Elina Garança, from Bizet's Carmen (because this shit is HOT)

The Queen of the Night (Der Hölle Rache) sung by Diana Damrau, from Mozart's Magic Flute (this one lacks subtitles, so the gist of the aria is the Queen is Angry™ at her daughter for resisting her super super reasonable order to murder her own father, as one does)

Summertime sung by Audre McDonald, from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess (you know this song!!)

Sempre libera sung by Pretty Yende, from Verdi's La Traviata (also lacks subtitles, so the gist of this one is Violetta [the character] is on the verge of falling madly in love, and is trying to convince herself to shut the guy down and keep living her easy breezy party life instead of taking the risk of being hurt and chained down)

Près des ramparts de Seville sung by Elina Garança, from Bizet's Carmen (from the same production as the Habanera above; including 2 from that production bc it's a smash fuckin hit and like... it sure leans into how SEXY opera can be)

Pur ti miro! sung by Nardus Williams and Kate Lindsey, from Monteverdi's Coronation of Poppea (no subtitles, so: this is a love duet from the very end of the opera, right after Poppea [soprano] has been crowned Empress, and is basically just Poppea and Emperor Nerone expressing their very tender joy at being married and in love)

O mio rimorso! sung by Rolando Villazòn, from Verdi's La Traviata (specifically a very cute video from a filmed orchestra rehearsal where Villazòn's just playing around, like. it makes me so, so happy to see it expressed that this shit is fun to do!!!)

if you want more recs, i'm have far too many pieces to put here and also there's a lot of resources for this online! this list is tragically reflective of my own fixation on the Romantic period (exceptions being the Monteverdi, which is what we call Early Music, the Mozart, which is Classical, and the Gershwin, which is quintessential contemporary opera), so mind you, even if you don't like most of these, there's opera for you!

now if you want to dig in further and try out watching an entire opera:

considering that i listed two of Carmen's arias from that same production, i do pretty strongly recommend the 2010 Metropolitan Opera production of Carmen—however, the only video of it that has subtitles is on the Met's streaming site, so it does cost a little money to watch it, much though that hurts my heart. i cannot recommend it enough, but also money is garbage. (fair warning, this opera gets very dark, and it's from the 1800s so it operates from a very toxic perspective of the Romani—and it's opera, so of course the Romani characters are not played by Romani singers, which is its own can of worms)

you'll notice there are also two arias from La Traviata on my list—so of course that's my second full-length recommendation! Traviata is a true classic (that scene in Pretty Woman where Richard Gere takes Julia Robers to the opera? they're watching La Traviata—which is a fun detail, since it tells a story that's very resonant for Roberts' character specifically) and it contains some of the most sparkling, beautiful, heart-rending music that exists, imo. there's a really incredible full-length video of a 2006 production by LA Opera that features really lush period-appropriate costuming and sets, and a really especially fierce take on the lead tenor role. plus it's Renée Fleming, and love her or hate her, if you're gonna do opera, you have to give her a listen once or twice!

finally, the general consensus is that The Magic Flute is a good starter opera! i have my complaints about that but it's definitely a popular choice for a reason! contains the famous Queen of the Night aria from above, which is the most quoted operatic piece p much of all time, and it's definitely a lighter-sounding piece of music than the other two i listed! decent full-length video of a 1995 production at La Scala

that's all for now, but if any of it catches you, anon (or anyone else!) i'm definitely always down for more suggestions. and if you feel like goin rogue after this, my main suggestion is to figure out what specific kinds of sound you like—the light, fast Mozart? the rich Traviata? lush sexy Carmen? or the much more sparse Monteverdi?—and dig into those musical eras! and also if you like any of these singers' voice specifically, search them on youtube and just go hog wild!! honestly i found Pretty Yende because of this and as soon as i post this i am 100% gonna go watch about 7 more of her videos and cry a lot (her Addio del passato, oh my GOD)
