I'm taking this coming week off work, which means I will be home on Wednesday to celebrate the Third Anniversary of the San Francisco Don Carlo, and I have two questions.

At what time do I hit play?

How many times can/should I watch it in one day?

Lindsay Rhodes and Michael Fabiano put together one last First Round Mock Draft before Thursday's Main Event with a group of exciting guests. They're joined by WWE Superstar Seth Rollins, Actor James Roday Rodriguez (Psych & A Million Little Things), and Former TE Gary Barnidge who all pitched in to fill out the picks for the 32 slots. Safe to say it's not your average mock draft and there absolutely, positively were some trades.

Just watched the 2004 ROH Faust with @skeleton-richard and that ending messed me up even harder than it did in the 2019

#hot faust summer #the waterworks came on around the time when mephistopheles approaches the pipe organ #also roberto alagna's old man acting was more convincing than michael fabiano's #which contributed to the general devastation of it #both versions give mephistopheles a bit of melancholy about being cast out of heaven #which is even less present in gounod than in goethe but also #I AM A SUCKER FOR IT #anyway really good production #i also liked that this one had more overt homoeroticism #meph singing the last verse of the serenade to a strung-out faust while caressing his face? #*chef's kiss* #*chef's fucking kiss* #bryn terfel could get it #gounod faust

Michael Fabiano is back on the mic to preview TNF's game between the Saints and the Jags with Actor/Director/Writer & Fantasy Savant James Roday Rodriguez (Psych & A Million Little Things). Fabs breaks down Jen Piacenti's props for tonight and then goes through a list of players with James to see whether or not he's "Psyched" or "Not Psyched" about their outlook for the rest of the season. Then Fabs gets into his Starts & Sits and they finish the show evaluating their matchup this week in their celeb league (Fabs is #1 team & James is #2). Set your lineups and make sure to tune in next Tuesday for next week's show!

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.)

#gounod faust #hot faust summer #bryn terfel could get it #really good production i recommend it #not a review just a lot of flailing #2019 also had better wigs #poor poor siébel
