What have you been listening to, lately?

[Aksel]

This Incoronazione has bright pools of blood and quite the most briliantly twisted, vicious, giggling, sadistic, capricious, perverted Nerone I have ever seen. Poppea's not much better, and everone else ends up in dead in the blood.

Is it the Oslo one? I haven't watched it yet, although I should.

Yes it is, and yes you should.

Baldassare Galuppi (1706-1785) with over 90 operas, is said to be the sixth most productive opera composer, and all I could find was this collection with some arias from his operas.

Just watched 'L'Upupa und der Triumph der Sohnesliebe' by Hanze Werner Henze via this production. It was very weird, I was starting to get tired of it in the part where the Demon sang about the apple, but it turned out that the apple discussion was instrumental in the weird way it ended. I think the orchestral music was pretty cool. Parts were a little static, but on the whole, it was a very entertaining production and the music suited it in its odd and somewhat darkly comical way.

I like it a lot. I gave it a "highly recommended" rating, and published a full review [here].

True. It is indeed very boring.

Isn't it just? Natalie said she enjoyed it more than the DVD, as she wasn't distracted by the chest, but you wouldn't understand about things like that ....
