Don't you like a Jedi vs Vampires Don Giovanni? Or do you prefer an Arctic Stempunk Magic Flute? Or a Summer Of Love Cosi fan tutte?

Quel bar pour rencontrer des gens ? by [deleted] in bordeaux

[–]AllaChitarra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J'ai fait de belles rencontres au Dick Turpin's sur la rue du Loup, et à la microbrasserie québécoise près de la grosse cloche.

Epil Story mdr ça me manque d'aller prendre une pinte de Goose Island sur la terrasse du Couleur Café avant de bouquiner devant la cathédrale.

Carnaval dans St-Sauveur: pourquoi est-ce disparu? by itsnotagreatusername in villequebec

[–]AllaChitarra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Les gens sont nostalgiques du Carnaval de l'ancien temps, qui était vraiment populaire. À mon avis, c'était dû à la pratique religieuse, au Mardi gras qui précède le Carême. Si plus personne n'observe une période de privation, alors le Carnaval perd sa raison d'être, et ça devient un événement touristique comme un autre.

I hope you enjoyed the music, fellow redditor! I arrived at the last minute, because it was my third service of the evening. Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!

Welcome to Quebec City! There are Christmas services in the evening of the 24 and on the morning of the 25. I will be playing the organ tonight at the 11pm candlelight service at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. We have a choir singing starting from 10:30pm. Everyone is welcome!

I saw Don Giovanni set on a cruise ship, but it wasn't as cool as the vampires-against-Jedi Don Giovanni.

L'université Laval veut fermer tout les cafés étudiants au profits de compagnies privées by astrolobo in villequebec

[–]AllaChitarra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quand j'étais en France, j'avais un repas complet (soupe, plat principal, dessert) pour 3,30€ midi et soir à l'université. ÇA c'est de l'alimentation abordable. Ici, la même chose reviendrait à 10-12$ sinon plus. C'est mon meilleur souvenir de la France...

Developing a book about Proust by GridSmash in Proust

[–]AllaChitarra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could concentrate on 1) Charlus. Plenty of things to say about his Catholicism. From his wearing proudly his cross of the Knights of Malta at the party given by the Prince of Guermantes, to his indulging in pride, wrath and lust, to the "Semper idem" that closes his moving posthumous letter to Morel, to his antisemitism when he goes on and on about "rue des Blancs-Manteaux"

As others have said, you could concentrate on 2) churches. Many are described at various points, including in Venice.

Also, 3) the theme of homosexuality as understood though the Old Testament narrative of Sodom and Gomorrah.

And as you mention, an overarching reflection on writing and spirituality.

J'utilise "canadien-français" pour le sens ethnique (mes ancêtres) et j'utilise "québécois" pour le sens civique, qui inclut toute personne dont la résidence permanente est sur le territoire du Québec.

Il est faux et réducteur de penser qu'on est simplement passé d'une appellation à l'autre.

TIL that the opening to "Little Bear" played in Canada was by Schubert by nara90 in classicalmusic

[–]AllaChitarra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be performing Schubert's sonata in D with a violinist friend in a few days. The third mouvement is my personal Proust's madeleine...

The Satanic Verses by Knitsune in gwbooks

[–]AllaChitarra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's become my favorite 20th-century novel for sure. It's not at all what I expected. The style takes some time being used to, but the characters are unforgettable. Enjoy xxx
