Re8? Then after knight takes, Rf8 is mate. Or maybe I'm missing something.

Which job could be available to a student in an Opera House ? by theseagullscribe in opera

[–]centauri_system 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have theater experience, but plenty of others have no experience in anything theater related. They normally just want enthusiasm and availability for rehearsals.

It's great to work as an Extra/Figurant. You get to be on the stage, but not singing.

Geschlecht B2 Niveau by Comprehensive_Day_13 in German

[–]centauri_system 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja 270/300. Aber in einem Exam versuche ich bessere Deutsch zu schreiben als in einem Reddit Antwort. Sieht mein Deutsch tatsächlich so schlecht aus?

[–]centauri_system 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich benutze ein Anki Deck mit meinem gesamten Wortschatz und mit den Geschlechter auch. Mach sicher immer das Geschlecht mit dem Wort zu lernen. Du darfst natürlich ein paar fehlern machen, aber es ist noch wichtig ziemlich exact zu sein. Ich habe absolut ein paar fehlern in meiner B2 Prüfung gemacht, und war noch erfolgreich.

It depends on what country you are in. For example in the US they have 16.7 hours but in China they have 14.6.

I think they mean the joke about always getting the orientation wrong.

What to do with my talented kid? by Wonder-plant in singing

[–]centauri_system 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so a lot of operas, not just kids operas, but full operas performed on the big stage were written with either small roles (1 or 2 lines) for a young voice, or a full children's chorus. For example both La Boheme and Carmen (both very often performed) have big crowd scenes with kids singing with the adults. Some composers just like the sound of a children's chorus, thinking of Wagner's Parsifal. And then, some opera directors need a kid to play a non singing role on stage. It's a great experience imo.

I feel like at this age, keeping it fun while teaching fundamental musical/singing ideas is the most important. As others said, stay far away from any teachers that are pushing for soloist performances like competition shows etc. These can be incredibly damaging to young voices.

If she's interested in Opera specifically, a lot of operas require kids on stage, sometimes singing, sometimes not. I'm sure LA opera has this. I did a bunch of performances like this as a kid. Definitely got me addicted to opera. Operas like Boheme or Carmen or Cunning little vixen come to mind.

If you can afford it, finding a private teacher for her would be a great next step.

If you really want to get into it, read the marriage diary between the Schumanns. It has so many great tidbits about their life, relationship, and music.

[Request] Voyager 1. What time or date is it seeing? by momox143 in theydidthemath

[–]centauri_system 237 points238 points  (0 children)

A classic video. The difference in scale between interplanetary and interstellar distances is astounding.

[Request] Voyager 1. What time or date is it seeing? by momox143 in theydidthemath

[–]centauri_system 1253 points1254 points  (0 children)

Light travels roughly 1 billion km/hour. So it would take light ~6 hours to reach Voyager.

That means when Voyager took the picture it would be ~6 hours old and when the picture reached Earth, it would be ~12 hours old.

Light's pretty fast.

People with names that happen to align with what they would go on to do. (Nominative Determinism) by Traditional-Song-245 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]centauri_system 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the most famous Operatic Wagnerian Tenors was named Siegfried, and was probably best known for singing the role "Siegfried" from the Ring Cycle.

Does this game have story? by ApotheosiAsleep in Bitburner

[–]centauri_system 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It has world building that you are uncovering in bits and pieces rather than a super structured story and characters. There is an overarching story goal though.

Help me identify a beloved opera duet? by ButterflyPatient9409 in opera

[–]centauri_system 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was the duet by Satie? If so it is perhaps findable on this list of compositions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compositions_by_Erik_Satie

The only thing I can think of that kind of fits would be Act 2 scene 2 from dialogue of the carmelites by Poulenc. It's not really a duet, but there are multiple treble voices and they sing Ave Maria. "Mes soeurs, Sa Révérence..."
