La Di Donato es un fenómeno, van a alucinar, señores!
Qué Adalgisa este agoto en Salzburgo, maravillosa!!!

Les va a convencer la Joyce, ya lo verán.

Last night we had our final dress rehearsal, and after a meticulous rehearsal period, we were certainly all ready for an audience to receive the splendor of Strauss and his confounded, slightly lost characters. During this month I have had the pleasure of delving deeper into the psyche of this young man who I have only performed once before, and the layers I have found within him have delighted me: infatuation/love and intoxication turn to devastation in short order, and like any teenager knows full well, the fragile world comes crashing down in one fell swoop – the heartbreak is colossal and perfectly captured by Strauss’s music ; love-at-first-sight grabs him completely by surprise the next morning and his sense of loss quickly transforms into duty and honor as he aims to free the young Sophie from the barbarian, Ochs; Act 3 brings what feels like the 3rd opera of the evening, and we see the intellect and determination of Octavian outwit Ochs, but not without bringing chaos and havoc to everyone, leaving him to answer to the Marschallin and to his new love.

Layers of confusion lace nearly every scene as Octavian fights his way to maturity and “manhood” by the end of the opera: the awkward, needy adolescent of the opening scenes quickly gives way to the foresight in Act 2 to advise Sophie that she must stand up for herself and be exactly who she is, showing an incredible understanding of the inherent dignity of women – something sorely lacking in that society’s protocol; in the famous “Mariandel Scene” in the 3rd act, his wily paraphrasing of the Marschallin’s explanation of time from the break-up monologue in act 1 shows he is still trying to sort out the meaning of something a bit beyond his grasp, and manages to do so while feigning drunk AND seducing a revolting man at the same time; his ability to follow his heart and dream of building a future for himself and the woman he truly loves, Sophie, makes me believe he will aim to be a man of honor and not another Feldmarschall, although, it IS opera, after all – one never, ever knows!

Pero hombre, que ya te hemos leído. El hilo lleva escasamente tres páginas, y tu promedio de halagos es de uno por página:









Antes de postear solemos leer los hilos para no duplicar información.

Y en este caso en concreto, a mí no hace falta que me vendas a la DiDonato, por razones que no vienen al caso.

Un saludo

Por cierto que hay que preguntarle si conoce la magna obra de Lina Morgan, y esta tarde veréis por qué

está sumando posts, hombre, eso lleva a repetirse en algún momento!

:lol:

Tate, alucinante, se ha llevado mas aplausos y bravos que casi todos.
