i’m gonna say it. i hate tenors. like literally plz stop screaming at me. plz. very seldom will there be a tenor voice i enjoy, and part of that is probably because they don’t have to try as hard to succeed in this industry, so most of them are just mid and have crappy technique.

sorry.

no i’m not.

maybe a little.

actually no.

a lot of operas exhibit the femme fatale trope, which…i know was created by men and is technically misogynistic because it demonizes female sexuality. however…girl kill boy because girl to sexy and powerful and boy inferior…kinda based.

not to mention these roles look so fun to play, like Salome? she dances naked and then makes out with a severed head, sounds lit as fuck if you ask me.

I think all tenor/baritone/bass roles should only be allowed to be played by trans women because then any love story is automatically lesbian.

I love when mezzo women play pants roles bc then it’s just like a butch/femme lesbian dynamic, and i just think we need more of that.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good, but it’s a musical.
