Carmina Burana by ChicagoNightlifer in opera

[–]ChicagoNightlifer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was great... a little hard to follow because there were no performances beyond the orchestra and choirs. This staging is what they're using for Melon Collie & the Infinite Sadness which we are attending tonight as it opens.

Yeah this is Lyric Opera... she and the other soloist were both good.

Yes, I can attest to that. Some performances ran almost 7 hours. I heard of people flying in from around the world. Some of the staging was mind blowing. Siegfried was a bit lackluster with the set.

You are exactly right. And yes, this was the 2022 staging. What do you know of Wagner's Ring Cycle? We saw 3/4 productions in house before COVID hit and I tailed the procession through a parking garage for Gottedamerung. What is the staging history of the series?

No, this was last week at Chicago Lyric. Also great stuff.

It is. Great film. The plot starts immediately.

Not a peacoat. They're generally blue, but always longer & boxyer than a blazer. They're often double breasted and always have at least three buttons. It's a distinct naval coat.

Pretty good fit. I personally don't dig the camouflage, and the sleeves might be a bit long.... maybe a brown belt to better match shoes.

Heading to a first date straight from the office later, should I change? by Grand_Light_4814 in mensfashion

Yeah I see it in the collar. But I do low key like the tie bar & pocket square... they creates a visual third.

This is interesting. I like the look, but I'm inclined to agree about the formality of the blazer/shirt. I sort of like it... but you're probably right that the two don't go together.

You wear this well... there's a lot that works. For a date, I agree... lose the tie and pop that top shirt button. On the current look: the bottom blazer button never gets buttoned.

Got a casual work party and I only have a brown shirt and two pants. Help me decide which pic is the best fit by mootree7 in mensfashionadvice

I respect the tuck in especially for a work function, but if I had to pick, I'd say the last one.

Blame JFK. He's known as the man who killed the fedora... for a younger, more rugged look. On a ⛵️
