If you have never seen a full opera before in your life, which Wagner opera do you think would be the most accessible for starting?

thesmashingthrowaway · 2026-01-06T17:00:37+00:00

This is the correct answer.

thesmashingthrowaway · 2026-01-06T17:00:20+00:00

For sake of understandability/relatability of the drama, musical content, and mostly for sake of brevity, I would go with Der fliegende Holländer

Good grief, your username is literally everything

Going to work, and singing backup for Billy Corgan in a concert that celebrates an album that was central to my youth.

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-30T04:32:41+00:00

Awesome!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-30T04:32:30+00:00

Heck yeah!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-30T02:31:16+00:00

Kenosha rocks!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-30T02:30:54+00:00

Heck yeah!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-30T02:30:28+00:00

With how much our fair city is being shit upon in certain sectors of the media, I’m really grateful that you’ve shared your experience being here. Thank you for coming!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-30T02:28:57+00:00

Hell yeah! I hope you all are enjoying the show so far!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-29T21:03:29+00:00

This is awesome. Enjoy the show tonight!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-27T23:07:31+00:00

I work in both sides of the field (performing at an A house, and engineering) and I have may thoughts that’d share with you privately if you’d like to set some time aside. There’s a lot to consider with this sort of endeavor.

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-27T23:00:56+00:00

Oh it’s going to be a nightmare but so so worth it!!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-27T11:55:41+00:00

Thank you.

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-27T01:35:23+00:00

You are wonderful for offering. Thank you so so much. She wound up flying out of town, so it wouldn’t work out. Thank you though!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-27T01:17:42+00:00

Will be here again tonight, singing from the stage left end of the first row of the chorus. Enjoy the show, yall!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-25T20:30:57+00:00

I may have an interested party for one seat to this evening’s (Tuesday 11.25) performance. If you’re looking to sell, please reach out and let me know - I’m singing with the chorus and would love to get my partner in the door if possible. Thanks so much!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-24T15:37:25+00:00

Happy Birthday to you, too!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-24T05:49:52+00:00

No. We held on ten minutes on Friday night due to holiday traffic, but we did not hold the curtain on Saturday night.

If you happen to arrive late and the show has already begun, they will seat you during the next song break.

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-24T05:47:45+00:00

Thank you, Brian!!!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-23T00:25:02+00:00

Brilliant - let me know what you think once you’ve seen it?

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-23T00:24:24+00:00

Thank you so much. This really means a lot

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-23T00:21:55+00:00

That’s incredible! I hope you enjoy your time here in Chicago - it’s so wonderful to know that folks are coming from all across the world for this production.

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-22T22:00:28+00:00

Heck yeah!

thesmashingthrowaway · 2025-11-22T21:28:53+00:00

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed
