chums they haven’t said whether L'incoronazione di Poppea with Kate Lindsey and Sonya Yoncheva at Salzburg Festival will be broadcast on tv yet but it looks like it will be on Ö1 radio station on the 18th of August at 7.30pm (presumably Austrian time) and the free live stream of Ö1 is here

Mostly Mezzo Mondays: Röschmann, Prohaska, Crebassa, and Larmore

Mostly Mezzo Mondays: a recurring (though not weekly) feature where, on Monday nights, I blog a list of the upcoming broadcasts that have caught my eye on World Concert Hall. My interests: baroque vocal music, art song recitals, and a list of favorite singers.

Dorothea Röschmann sings Mahler’s Rückert-lieder with the Aalborg Symphony Orchestra: this should be good. Wednesday, May 2 on DR P2 Klassisk. 

Anna Prohaska and Marianne Crebassa sing Debussy together: this could be sexy. With the Staatskapelle Berlin under Barenboim. Thursday, May 3 on Deutschlandfunk Kultur.

Jennifer Larmore sings the Lady in Hindemith’s Cardillac at the Maggio Musicale: this is probably not my cuppa, but maybe it is yours? Saturday, May 5 on Rai Radio 3.

#la clemenza di tito #opera for the people

[voi-gay-sapete]

this doesn’t seem to be the case in the libretto but in the garanča/netrebko (vienna 2008) production of i capuleti e i montecchi romeo literally dies in the middle of of singing giulietta’s name and mm. im crying

#capuleti + montecchi

[voi-gay-sapete]

i only have to THINK about the figaro act 2 finally and there is electricity in my veins & fire in my loins

#listen. LISTEN. when can i go back in time n give mozart a big sloppy kiss for all he has done 4 me

Anna Netrebko as Giulietta in “I Capuleti e I Montecchi” by Vincenzo Bellini. “Eccomi in lieta vesta… Oh! quante volte” (Paris, 2008)

#sadf;ldkf im listening to this production As We Speak #and i Love it #capuleti + montecchi

[voi-gay-sapete]

any character in any opera: ah! signor

my figaro loving echolaliac ass: signor! cosa stato!

[voi-gay-sapete]

this is getting ridiculous

Elina Garanca as Sesto and Kate Lindsey as Annio in Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito

#i think about this every goddamn day!!!! #clemenza #parto/torna

[voi-gay-sapete]

i could never been an opera singer even if my voice were much, much better than it is bc i’ll just be going about my business humming deh per questo and i have to briefly stop and Scream out loud bc i love that aria so much

#how do you keep it together when singing mozart...... #hello i am Big neurodivergent

[voi-gay-sapete]

it’s genuinely weird to me that sesto/annio was like, never intended as a romantic pairing. sesto is a violent garbage baby who agreed to murder his best friend/the emperor bc a hot chick told him to. annio is a gentle ray of sunshine who has never done a thing wrong in his life. of COURSE they should be making out.

#annio being in love w sesto's sister is a smoke screen come on you fools #clemenza

[voi-gay-sapete]

sesto: *tries to murder his childhood friend because the woman he fancies told him to* I know I tried to literally kill you and all but if you could just see it from my point of view

me: ohhh my poor baby, my child,, I love you,,

#glamfksgk stop #clemenza #why do i love sesto So Much

[voi-gay-sapete]

i love unnecessarily enormous beds in operas. good shit. 

#it's like having a set piece that just screams THESE CHARACTERS WERE HAVING SEX #GET IT

[voi-gay-sapete]

i just think it’s really valid how much of her time kate lindsey spends resting her head on the ample bosoms of sopranos

#live your best fucking life kate

[voi-gay-sapete]
