Now and then, I come across a blog post that really speaks to me.
It might be deep, thoughtful, spiritual, analytic, or just
silly. Here are a few more that I wish I had written, and some clips to go
with them.
In Opera Canon vs. Opera Fanon, at
Pamina's Opera House, Pamina takes on some commonly believed opera plot myths,
and explains why they simply are not true.
Note that this "love duet" is really about Don Jose's mom.
The Earworm is one of my favorite blogs, and my
fellow Röschmann-head. Her posts range from serious to silly.
In this one called Friday
Operatic Advice, we read some words of wisdom
from one of Mozart's favorite busybodies.
Patricia Petibon as Despina is like...um
...well, she's not quite like anything.
I have not seen this full production yet. Check out a great
evaluation of this performance over at operaramblings (another cool
blog.)
I hope you enjoy these posts and others from these thoughtful
bloggers. I'm going to re-read them and pretend I wrote them.
