Have been working on this stupid shitpost (which I have been planning for months, as some of you might know) instead of working on my English paper, and I put in way too much effort on making that thumbnail, so I’d appreciate it if you showed it some love.

I was looking for something completely different and found this Baby Jonas with Angela Gheorghiu singing "Un di felice eterea," and now I'm officially dead.

Day Six Hundred and Eighty Three

L’amour est un oiseau rebelle Que nul ne peut apprivoiser Et c’est bien en vain qu’on l’appelle S’il lui convient de refuser

Rien n’y fait, menace ou prière L’un parle bien, l’autre se tait Et c’est l’autre que je préfère Il n’a rien dit mais il me plait

[shredsandpatches]

Congrats on watching the 2004 Faust! Bryn Terfel's Mephisto has to be one of the best acting efforts in any opera recording ever, to me. Mildly unusual take on the character, but just honestly 100% perfect in every scene. He's so ugly! And he's so disappointed! And he's evil! Performance of all time. And I agree the serenade/duel scene is fantastic.

Oh their Marguerite also has the rare combo of being super beautiful and sounding super good. I love her. Alagna Faust also not bad, I like how he's so small. And the cartwheel of course.

And the ballet dancers 😭😭😭 And how the devils come out to cheer / mock the patriotism during the soldiers' chorus. That's like borderline poignant.

Well this was really more of a comment than a question but I just love that recording.

(I like Keenlyside and I like Valentin but Keenlyside Valentin is meh to me) (Degout Valentin is where it's at)

Okay I gotta admit: I actually thought Bryn Terfel's Mephistopheles was really hot. In a creepy and sweaty way, certainly, but also, really hot. Maybe I'm weird? (Or a Marthe kinnie.) He absolutely rocked that ballgown. And we are, at any rate, in complete agreement that he was AWESOME. THAT SOUL-PIERCING STARE. I honestly saw a lot of Marlowe's Mephistopheles in his take on the role--that very grim quality he brings to it, and the touches of melancholy at the beginning and end. Maybe the Marlowe vibes are a British thing? Really interesting contrast with Erwin Schrott's Mephistopheles, who brings a lot more of the traditional sass (and who also absolutely rocks the ballgown, of course). Terfel's version would never do the dork dance that Schrott does at the end of "Le veau d'or" (NB. I love the dork dance.) I also thought the 2004 had more homoeroticism than the 2019 and of course I'm always gonna be on board for that.

Angela Gheorghiu is pretty much always great, I agree. She was still married to Roberto Alagna when they did this and real-life couples don't always have chemistry in performance but they did here--obviously they are playing a disaster couple but you still need to have chemistry. I'm not a huge fan of Alagna's singing generally (too reedy and scoopy for me) but his acting and especially his physical acting was really good. (Another interesting contrast: Michael Fabiano in 2019 reads a lot younger than Alagna does in 2004 even though the relative ages at the time of the performances are not that far apart: 35 vs. 41. They were both younger than I am now! I guess Fabiano is just more baby-faced but their duets with their respective Marguerites read pretty differently.)

Also agreed about the soldiers' chorus--given the setting in Belle Epoque (and the fact that I wrote a giant term paper about it in high school) it gives the impression that the war they're coming back from is the Franco-Prussian (even though the localization is not that literal/specific) in which case, of course, they'd be coming back from getting pasted.

ANYWAY. YES. Love this production a lot, both versions. Oh, I also thought that although the DVD quality wasn't as clear (it predates HD I think, or at least HD being common), some of the scenes were filmed in a way that makes the narrative a little clearer -- the Walpurgisnacht ballet in particular. I thought the actual dancing was stronger in 2019 but the 2004 filming put you closer to it. (Also you got a better sense of Faust's reactions; in the 2019 you could hardly see him.)

hi remember that bandwagon that’s been and gone for people discussing people who influence their character’s appearance and/or strongly match the image they have for their characters in their head? yeah? that one? well i finally did one for anica and i’m subjecting you all to it now:  

angela gheorghiu - one of my biggest inspos for anica’s character since day one, even beyond the physical. she is THE modern opera diva. and Wow her voice is phenomenal.

kamila mraz - her city-dwelling, simple and warm aesthetics with cottons and florals are also perfect for anica

cătălina ponor - BIG body type inspo. one of my other big inspos when starting to research romania was their dominance in gymnastics in the 2000′s. she’s so cool and kept going until retiring at 30! that’s really incredible for gymnasts!

diana silvers - she’s my favourite fc for late 19th/early 20th c anica!

marion cotillard - secondary faceclaim! also has a lovely voice!

mădălina ghenea - the legs honey the LEGS. we love a romanian bombshell! she was cast as sophia loren in the recent movie house of gucci, and having the big debate in some casting circles be over whether her or catrinel should have the role is very good, i think.

sophia loren - oh hey look who it is! a classic beauty! it’s really the brow and face shape for me. i love her jawline as well.

catrinel marlon - ah, my primary fc for anica. she really ticks every box i have. her family’s history in athletics and gymnastics leans very well into it as well!

pelin karahan - i’ve already mentioned one of my historical fcs, so i thought to include my fc for wallachia as well.

#making this helped me realise that i do have a really strong image for anica. and i see consistent themes in her inspirations here #that's a great feeling :) #cununi de flori uscate fâ��âiesc ✧ hc #yeah? yeah i reckon this qualifies

[mariacallous]

Renee Fleming, Venera Gimadieva, Angela Gheorghiu are three of the performers who I've seen wear the Sisi dress as Violetta

Also it usually reads as costume-y tbh (but that's because it's a white dress with gold stars all over and flouncy imo)
