Ballo watch, Part 3
First scene in Act 3 is just Too Much the way Dima and Sondra play it. They really do love each other, whatever else they both feel for Gustavo, and just…fuck me. I love it so much, it pisses me off.
Tumblr media
"Eri tu” is a Dima song. The end.
Tumblr media
Might seems strange to say, but I think I’ve had more Ballos ruined by terrible Oscars than any other character. Bless you, Kathleen Kim.
Tumblr media
I have such feelings about the sad, drunk violin here at the end.
Tumblr media
KITCHEN KNIFE OF DOOM!!!! 🔪🔪🔪
Tumblr media
Fic-wise, I keep wondering where in the last act I could subvert what’s happening and transition to the OT3 that should have happened, but I’ve never been able to quite decide. Suggestions welcome.
Tumblr media
And that is all! Thank you @revedebeatrice for setting this up!!! I’d love if we could do, maybe, a weekly or monthly opera. Vote on something. Folks can watch and post whenever it’s convenient over the weekend. I mean, Met gave us 24 hours to squeeze in each production, and personally, I found that super handy. And this was so fun, I'd happily do it again!!!!

I looked up “most challenging soprano aria” for fanfic reasons and found this:
youtube
Holy cowplant I’d say that’s a definite contender. Way harder than Mozart’s Queen of the Night aria that often gets the label. The acting and movement it requires at the same time multiplies the difficulty, too.

Ein Werk, dass ich schon immer sehen wollte: John Adams Oper “Nixon in China” von 1987 in der er sich satirisch mit modernen Helden-Mythen auseinander setzt: Richard Nixon und Mao Zedong. Ich kann mich noch sehr gut an die damalige Berichterstattung der Uraufführung erinnern (Houston Grand Opera, Regie: Peter Sellars). Nun also an der Opéra National de Paris im grossen Haus an der Bastille in…

Ballo Watch, Part 1
I’ve got a busy day (shopping! orchestra concert! BFF visiting!), so I need to start posting my random Ballo thoughts now!
Embarrassing confession: the first time I watched this production, I wanted it to be visually so much more and I didn't really get it. Now I wouldn't change a single thing. Perfection. The fact the Met is replacing it makes me think maybe they don’t get it still.
Tumblr media
Because it’s Verdi, I trust that the weird moods are, in fact, exactly right. To me, they are bizarre, but in the best way possible. And I love that this production leans into every mood change. I mean, more operas should have chorus lines with canes and top hats while discussing upcoming visits to fortunetellers who commune with Satan.
Tumblr media
I should start carrying a skull in my purse.
Tumblr media
Also, I’m not really into tarot, but if someone made Ballo tarot cards, I’d buy them.

"This is a production quite like some of Jean-Pierre Ponnelle's productions where what has been crafted is almost inseparable from the music. You're not aware of the staging, you're not aware of the music. It feels as if this is the way it's always been." ~Joyce DiDonato on playing Cendrillon in Laurent Pelly's production
