Cristofano Martelli, the author of Roma liberata dalla congiura di Catilina (1775), says that he drew the events and characters mostly from Plutarch's

Life of Catiline.

Surely you can guess the questions I am asking myself.

Kinuko Y. Craft’s posters for the Dallas Opera’s production The Ring of the Nibelung by Richard Wagner

i heard livin it up on top (bway version of course) play on the radio tonight on my drive home. and while i am not going to turn this into yet another Opinion Piece about Which Version of the show is Best(tm) it did make me think about how often operas will be performed in different versions. the age old battle of prague vs vienna don giovanni (nevermind the fact that the current most common/popular production combined elements of both libretti) and italian vs french, four act vs five act don carlo(s), or magic flute productions which can look and act completely different from one another based on what recits are kept or cut or translated loosely or rewritten entirely. for several reasons of course i don't see musicals doing the same type of thing Any time soon but it would be interesting indeed if they did

Serial Drama, my art final from last semester.

Thinking about physical vs. emotional violence in soap operas, what can be shown on daytime/pre-watershed television vs. what can't be. Thinking about how much I love soaps and how much I love to take them seriously.

Luke and Laura's wedding on General Hospital, the most watched moment in American soap history. Layered over dialogue from the scene where Luke raped Laura two years earlier

The catfights in Dynasty (1981) that never left lasting physical injuries

Luke and Laura's first meeting, pastel copy of a low quality VHS rip

"Who shot JR?" from Dallas

Luke and Laura fighting, appearing as if in an embrace, layered under painted static

Kylie Platt's stabbing death on Coronation Street

Aaron from Emmerdale's storylines about self-harm

Scenes from Dynasty and Eastenders. Vaguely about characters being recast and then reappearing in long-running soap settings (Eastenders), and about gay actors playing homophobic characters (Dynasty)

A Dynasty piece for fun lol. Alexis forever <3

"Serial drama" can be used to describe soap operas, and obviously the word serial brings to mind "serial killer". Very deep stuff. Written in the Eastenders font.
