Update: It appears there's no doubt that he's the new cover, even if Stage Entertainment hasn't bothered to announce it so far. There have been more sightings of him as Alfred, and he seems to appear regularly in the Gesangsensemble. I can't express enough about how happy I am about this. Time to start looking for flights to Berlin...

It appears, according to a cast list of yesterday’s performance from Berlin, that as of yesterday Tibor Héger is back playing Alfred at least temporarily. He was playing in Berlin yesterday when it seems that a lot of people are sick at the same time. Does anybody have official information on whether he’s going to be the actor replacing Kevin Köhler next month as cover Alfred, or if he just happens to be there now?

OK, I'm moving. As described a couple of posts under, I just want to have my personal blog independent from my fannish one, so I created a new one with the same username as this used to have. Head thee over there if you still want to follow my posts. I'll be following people on it as I get around to it, but I can't bear to sit too much at the computer now so it'll be a while before everyone's properly followed there.

*grins* I can imagine.

We had college about hormons today at school. Very intersting how that thing works, but all I could think about was Tanzblr and, for me personally, this guy…very useful ;-)

Temporary rename and blog move coming up

I renamed this blog because I want to be able to name another blog "ladyvalancy" so that I can then move there for good and keep the name I've had for this one. Because I'm tired of my personal blog being a sub-blog to foralfred simply because I created that one first, and I want to turn my personal one into a primary blog of its own so that I can follow, like and comment on things under it. Stay tuned, I'll let you know when you should go and follow a new one instead of this.

How cute is he? Very, very cute.

Dolhai Attila & Füredi Nikolett: Táncolnének boldogságtól (Tanzen möcht' ich) from Die Csárdásfürstin

I always wanted these two to sing a duet together! And why doesn't the Operettszínház use Niki in operettas? She's perfection. Also, can I marry her?

Füredi Nikolett & Szabó Dávid: Gefühl und Verstand (from Kunze and Levay's Marie Antoinette musical)

Why hadn't I realised this existed before? I wish the sound quality was a little better, but oh, I love this song, and Niki would be the perfect Marie Antoinette. (Her German is a lot better than Dávid's, but who cares...)

Vágó Zsuzsi and Füredi Nikolett: Sose sírhatsz ha fáj (Mädchen der Nacht, Jekyll & Hyde, in Hungarian)

[valancystar-blog-blog]

Bányoczki Nóra and Mihálka Gyuri: Kell egy tánc (Wenn ich Tanzen will, from the musical Elisabeth) in some concert.

OK, there are some sound quality problems, and maybe it's not quite Gyuri's part at least as long as he still acts like Alfred rather than Death, but... it's still quite a treat.

Mihálka Gyuri with the Jazz and More choir: Pity the Child from the musical Chess (in Hungarian)

Here, I'm just waiting until he's old enough to actually play this part, then they'd better do this musical with him...

[valancystar-blog-blog]

Mihálka Gyuri: Miért van (from the Hungarian musical Valahol Európában)

One day, I'm going to find out what this musical and this song are actually about, but until then I'm just going to love this song anyway. And Gyuri sounds amazing singing it.

I want to sink into this picture and pretend it's summer.

This is all very true. I've been on the internet for more than this, and have had the same experience, and I'm slowly pulling away from discussing things too much, from sharing too much, because it always ends up hurting people eventually. It's unpleasant to have to do that, because I also have genuinely enjoyed thrilling intelligent discussions with people... but so often people end up hurt over something that needn't have hurt anyone, simply because mere words are harsher than if we'd say them in person and because we read others' words with our own interpretations, taking things more personally than they were meant. And it's especially dangerous to discuss something very open to interpretation and full of symbolic meanings, if you have some deeply felt issues and traumas that it relates to. A piece of art can be an immensely powerful way of dealing with such feelings, but it becomes dangerous if you assume others must also interpret it with the same things as you, and if you feel others' denial of your interpretation as their denial of your feelings, experiences or person. I've done this many times myself and I know how easy it is. If the trauma is bad enough, it may be impossible not to do it to some extent. Then the only solution is to recognise when it will happen to you and decide if you want to be a part of that or if it will be healthier to stay away.

In the past months I've become emotionally much healthier by staying mostly away from debates and by sharing personal stuff only in very closed environments. Whenever I slip from this, I feel worse, and risk hurting others in the process. And some discussions really get out of hand in ways that nobody meant them to, and that's just bad.

So from now on I'm going to carefully keep both this and <a href="http://foralfred.tumblr.com">my Alfred blog</a> to their original purposes: only sharing nice stuff. I will not take part in any discussions other than shared squeeing, and maybe the sort of analysis that doesn't seem to be leading to any painful stuff being shared.

I’ve been on the internet for about 3 years now. Of course, I’ve been searching the web for longer, but let’s say that I’m part of the internet for 3 years now. 3 years of posting on fora, 3 years of showing others what I like and dislike, 3 years of giving my opinions…and for some reason: On all...
