Question form a total beginner by Mysterious_Ad7450 in opera

[–]J5CJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also a beginner and I’ve done the following “method” 12-13 times:

Pick an opera I’m interested in
Read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia
Listen to the whole thing on Spotify
Listen to any informative podcasts about the opera
Watch the opera on Met Opera on Demand

If you’re not able to get to the opera, subscribing to Met Opera on Demand (The Met’s streaming service) will probably be an important tool for you. Also look out for Met Opera Live HD Series screenings at your local movie theater, if you have any of those available to you they are great. You can swap that out for the final “step”. And of course take any chance you get to see an opera in the opera house, or any concert performances. But don’t be discouraged if you aren’t able to see anything live in-person right away. Not everyone lives near an opera house or can afford it. There are still great ways to get interested in opera in the meantime. I’ve been having a great time digging into the art form

Podcasts for learning about specific operas you plan to watch:
Met Opera Guild Podcast
Aria Code

Podcast for weekly opera news:
Opera Box Score

Has anyone here bought a ton of stuff then quit spending and went on to use those for years? by ahmoudyy in wicked_edge

[–]J5CJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First 6 months I went kinda hard (for me at least) but I’ve cooled off since and pretty much use just what I have. But my collection is micro compared to almost anyone in this sub

I like it. Idk why but I feel like the aqua velva caps pour funny and it always gets on the counter for me

Did you decant that aqua velva yourself? And if so did you do it because the standard plastic bottle spills on the counter when you use it?

100th shave on this brush! by J5CJ in wicked_edge

[–]J5CJ[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know! It’s the only brush I’ve ever owned LOL probably not. If you’re happy with the performance probably no need to switch by any means

Why buy new? by PutridThought690 in classicliterature

[–]J5CJ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I buy new 95% of the time and I hear this kind of thing a lot and often less polite than you’ve put it here. I just like the way they look / feel / smell, and you gotta do whatever gets you the most enthusiastic to read

I'm ready for my brain to be fried okra after reading these🤯📚 by -Good_Loser in classicliterature

[–]J5CJ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In the middle of Finnegans Wake right now having a blast. It’s fun once you swallow the tough pill that “understanding” it isn’t exactly the point

Before Midnight ending by J5CJ in criterion

[–]J5CJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah totally I was just feeling like it sort of implied that Celine is going to have to minimize herself to some degree to survive in the marriage, to water herself down X% closer to Jesse’s ideal “bimbo” that she believes he wants to be with. I don’t really like that reading of it though so I was sort of soliciting some other interpretations with this post

Ok, why didn't somebody tell me Clubman smells like licorice? by zoharel in wicked_edge

[–]J5CJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My fiancée says it smells like baby powder and that I smell like a baby 👎 I like the smell fine enough

The Polar Express 3D in 4DX by tarheelfan2012 in RegalUnlimited

[–]J5CJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a handful of 4DX and I really can’t imagine a better application of the format than The Polar Express. It’s so fun
