"We met at the opera more than twenty years ago. Since then we have been living a triangular relationship very intensively with all devotion. Love stories are relationships in which something happens between two people. But something third should be added, to make it interesting and lasting. With us it is: the opera. About opera as an art form: Yes, it is realistic: We experience it with all our senses. At the same time, it is completely anti-realistic. Anyone who tries to put something realistic on an opera stage doesn't understand what it's all about. What we experience very real with our senses has absolutely nothing to do with reality. Opera is THE mannerist art form per se. There is no other way. It is not for nothing that opera came into being when mannerist art reached its peak in Italy. And now to Wagner's music, tonight at a SIEGFRIED performance at Staatsoper Berlin: Nietzsche used to say: Wagner's music is fatal to woman, overthrows the strongest bulls and is not for anemic youngsters. The prerequisite for this intense effect is a good performance. In search for it, we are both always on the move in our triangularity, without interruption and without signs of fatigue.” #operalove #operafan #audience #triangularity #operalover #instaopera (hier: Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin, Deutschland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cki481BDRH3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“When one is singing high and loud it’s as though one is in light air, high upon a mountain. I feel a lightness and dizziness. Exhilaration too. I’ve never smoked marijuana, but I fancy it might be the same sort of feeling.”

Joan Sutherland

Portrait as Lucia di Lammermoor. Feb 1959.

I think this is something many people may not be aware of - "The Shining: The Opera."

The opera, composed by Paul Moravec with libretto by Mark Campbell, is an authorized adaptation of Stephen King's classic 1977 novel about a family haunted by ghosts at a remote mountain hotel. Many are familiar with the story through Stanley Kubrick's 1980 movie, but King was displeased with some significant changes Kubrick made to the novel's story and tone; the opera hews much more closely to King's original vision.

The opera had its global premiere in 2016 at the Minnesota Opera, causing a sensation at the time with sold-out performances and receiving critical acclaim. Jack Torrance (played by Brian Mulligan) wears the classic red and black plaid flannel shirt, creating a visual and auditory spectacle for the live audience.

If you're interested in this extraordinary opera, you can find more information on "The Shining" at www.yourclassical.org.

Yesterday, my mother and I went to the Palmetto Opera‘s performance of Great Voices from Broadway to Opera for a belated Mother’s Day celebration. Did you know Italian composer Giacomo Puccini, born in 1858 was diagnosed with diabetes in 1908? Numerous reports mention that he struggled to manage his diagnosis for much of his life. Understandably, managing diabetes was difficult before the discovery of insulin wasn’t until 1921. Before insulin was discovered in 1921, people with diabetes were put on very strict diets with minimal carbohydrate intake. Some doctors prescribed as little as 450 calories a day! Sadly, some people with diabetes died of starvation. Read More: https://divabetic.org/2023/05/22/opera-puccini-diabetes/

“Experiencing Opera is going into far beyond what daily life could possibly reach. Music starts when breathing seams to be insufficient. Singing starts when words are no longer enough.” - (Carla Cottini) #opera #operafan #operalover #audience (hier: Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin, Deutschland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkUAl8JMuY1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
