To the Cast and Crew of Sweeney Todd, I want to tell you how impressed I was by the professionalism, elegance, and refinement of your production. I had to leave slightly before intermission, but in the hour or more that I was in the audience, I was proud and pleased. I have heard nothing but wonderful things from others who saw the show and from my two companions who stayed until the very end....

HELP ME CHOOSE MY AUDITION PIECE, PLEEEEASSEEE
Okay, so I’m auditioning for the Summerscape Meyerbeer opera this tuesday, and I was going to touch up “Je Veux Vivre.” However, I really didn’t want to do that, because I don’t like that piece that much, so I’m sort of back to square one, here. Luckily, I’m going to choose one of my most accomplished pieces, so that it shows off what I can do. There is,...
2 Male Singers I'd Stay Straight For
A follow-up blog to the one on August 18, 2008
Placido Domingo.
Not only did he used to be hot, but DAMN, THAT VOICE! His technique is flawless, his voice like delicious maple syrup, and his sound absolutely gorgeous. Placido, I’d let your voice do me any day.
Bryn Terfel
Do I even need to explain? The most amazing bass-baritone I’ve yet heard. He sings Welsh lullabys, does...
Words of Wisdom from Placido Domingo
Newsweek Interviewer: Do you think about retiring? Are you scared of singing after your voice goes?
Domingo: I do not wish to to sing one day longer than I should but also not one day less than I could.
Newsweek Interviewer: What do you say to people who say that opera is boring? Domingo: I don’t think it’s boring.
Newsweek Interviewer: Of course you don’t! Domingo: But let...

Lala Rants About Opera, post #1
I have been told that I should become an opera critic. And although it is very certain that I am no M in the department of harsh criticism and sheer ability to tear one a new asshole, I was thinking I’d bring music back to my inherently soprano-owned blog and rock the opera critic title once in a while. So here’s to my new series of posts: Lala Rants About Opera!
So for my first...

I am fucking sick of people flaking out. Is it just that no one wants to be in my presence, or am I friends with some of the flakiest, non-committal people on the planet? I’m glad my friend base is atleast solid…
I feel so fucking unliked sometimes. I’m serious.

Woman, Revealed...

Me: (to Eileen) I see you’re reading the Falstaff guide.
Eileen: yeah, I just watched the opera…
Me: And…?
Eileen: It reveals what women really are.
Ali: …you mean whores?
I love opera.

Being sick is lame
Particularly when Health Services tells you that you don’t really have anything. But I still feel like crap, though I’m starting to get better. I feel guilty about missing chamber singers, but I don’t think I can sing with glands the size of golfballs. I’m definitely going to try and make it to Lesley and Rosina’s moderation though.
In happier news, Amherst, MA for...
