An outstanding night at the opera. Barrie Kosky’s cycle will go down as one of the good ones. Standout performances from all. Stunning. #operasky

#NowPlaying Getting very excited about my trip to Covent Garden for Kosky and Pappano’s third instalment of The Ring today. This cycle is so much better than the last one at the ROH. #operasky

Nearly everyone in the arts had an opinion about Timothée Chalamet vs. Opera and Ballet.
But did the flood of outrage and op eds have an impact on what matters most: ticket sales?
Has there been a...(dramatic pause)..."Chalamet Effect"?

Timothée Chalamet told Matthew McConaughey he doesn't want to work in ballet or opera because "no one cares about this anymore."
His Mother did ballet and he completely shit on her profession.

Verdi, Don Carlos
(Claudio Abbado & La Scala for Deutsche Grammophon, 1985)
Abbado restores Verdi’s five-act French conception for this.
Grand opera just sounds better en français 😉

The Queen of the Night from Ingmar Bergman’s TROLLFLÖJTEN (THE MAGIC FLUTE) in extreme close-up.
If you don't want to leave the comforts of your own home, and want to dip your toe in via film, one of the best options is Ingmar Bergman’s TROLLFLÖJTEN (THE MAGIC FLUTE), available streaming on the Criterion Channel. #OperaSky

First of all, you can’t really go wrong with any of the so-called warhorses. I give fun summaries of the plots of the ten most performed operas in the first two posts of my “Opera Plots in 101 Words or Less” series (and, no, that should not be fewer). #OperaSky

Dylan shouting out Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht is cool as fuck (I sing a lot of Kurt Weill, including Pirate Jenny, accompanying myself on cello).
Would love to see Timmy and Pirate Jenny in a cagefight, actually. He'd be dragged out in a trashbag.

Book cover for Opera Wars
Just finished Opera Wars by @caitlinvincent.bsky.social
If you're interested in opera but suspect the official story is a bit too tidy, definitely give it a read. Not nostalgia, not doom-scrolling, just a lucid inside account of how the art form and industry really works #BookSky #OperaSky
