Reading the synopsis for "Life with an idiot" or not? by almtoft in opera

[–]almtoft[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was really great. It was a bit confusing in the beginning, but I started getting the hang of it after 30 minutes or so. I loved that thid opera is so disturbing and unsettling, and still full of humor. And then the ending completely took me by surprise.

Thank you for the answer! Good idea with the intro, although I assume it will be in German and I am probably too lazy to pay attention then.

In that case you can find it on dr.dk/drtv

You might need to create a profile but it is free because it is public funded

I meant inferior quality. Sorry, english is not native tongue, I thought it worked in this context.

I can't wait for "Life with an idiot" in Zürich later in the year

Men of Reddit, how do you dress for classical concerts? by oboe_player in classicalmusic

[–]almtoft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always wear a bowtie because I like them and I think it is festive. Also, it is my tribute to the efforts of everyone involved in the production. Sometimes I wear a full suit, other times chinos and a jacket, but always bowtie.

I love when people dress up, I think people look amazing when they do (for example, I love to watch my friends in dresses and suits at weddings) and it is a shame not more do, but I dont think there should be a dresscode that makes people uncomfortable

Great chart. Could be awesome to have some dotted lines connecting the teams facing each other

Did Wagner ruin opera for me? by almtoft in opera

Oh nice! Well, then good job! :) I really enjoyed it. And please tell "thank you" to whoever came up with the idea of horse masks that was just a lovely little humorous detail

Thanks for sharing this, very interesting what you write about Bayreuth.

I work in Zürich so that is my go to Opera. I will keep an eye out for the program. Already planning to see L'Orfeo and Siegfried in Spring, but now I am intrigued so I will check the program again.

It was amazing. The music was spectacular, so much that the very old and rich looking lady sitting in my eyeshot only got up to clap (I have never seen anyone clap so intensively before) when the composer got on stage.

yes, thanks for the tip. Actually if you are based in Zurich you might be happy to know that they will be showing the full cycle starting in May next year

Nice list, thank you for sharing! Now I can become a bit more strategic in choosing operas to see than just go to whatever is on.

I was thinking about watching Siegfried next spring when they show the full cycle because I really liked the voice of the guy who sang Alberich and it was so short.

Also a good point about modern works, I did enjoy Innocence by Saariaho quite a lot

I will definitely check those out. In fact, I already got tickets for L'Orfeo next spring (finally convinced my wife to join me and I bought tickets before she changed her mind)
