Looking for a fun family-friendly event? Come to my kids choir concert (with special guest Jeremy Messersmith!) in a few weeks! Adorable musical chaos guaranteed!
That's like, a thousandlips.
If it was just a matter of uncoolness, fine. But this woman is a city council member solely representing the interests of rich white folk, which is decidedly antithetical to Prince's interests.
How dare she.
And this is a really obscure opera; no company in the US has performed it in the past 20 years. So it's not like some tenor just has this role in their back pocket or something.
Then before the matinee today, we get word that HE'S too sick to sing (it's a very demanding role) and a friend of the Board president who was in the audience Friday spent all day yesterday (14-16 hours) learning it to sing today! Concert performance, so with scores, but still! Just nutso.
Original hired lead (in from Mexico City) was under the weather, sang Act 1 on Friday, then handed it off to his understudy, the MN Opera resident artist tenor who I've done several shows with. He nailed it in Acts 2 and 3 and we were all very proud.
We only had two performances of Puccini's Edgar and ended up having three different tenors sing the lead role onstage at the Ordway. This was a short but wild run. #mnopera #chorus
Digby from this season of The Pitt was Skinny Pete on Breaking Bad. You're welcome.
This is a modern art installation.
Wait, younger? I forget which is which.
I still giggle about when you got the older one the labelmaker. Classic.
If I lived within proximity to a place called The Butterscotch Den, I might never leave.
I'm not a real adult, I'm just three kids in a St Paul jacket.
There's more than one way to skin a jacket.
I'm in. We could Red Lobster this bitch.
Yes, please name me the ways in which ST PAUL is depraved. I'll wait.
I am following you solely because I love both things in your name and you ordered The Jacket. Hell yeah.
@scoopsstp.bsky.social Do you know Norm? Can you vouch? I want sandwich. This is what parties should be all about.
Iain, out there doing the Lord's work.
I wish Dr. Robby would swaddle me.
Welcome to paradise, kids.
A Dr. Seuss name.
I have opera rehearsal tomorrow but I swear I’m going to make it one of these months.
It's weird that he did this in the first place, weirder that he didn't take the subtle hint of you ignoring it, very weird that "I just do that with you," and Red Flag City that he ignored your request to stop. I second Josh's suggestion to start responding with selfies of your husband.
Please show them this.
I only drink White Russians when bowling. I also only drink White Russians when bowling.
I know I'm wrong, but I kinda want you to be Vinny.
