jawnbcLast night I went to Turandot with my pal Noel. It’s only my 3rd opera, and while I’ve not become an instant opera kween (”just add water!”), I enjoyed it thoroughly. Though we were chuckling about the esthetics of 140kg mesmerizingly beautiful princesses. We get our knickers in a knot about modes and actresses that jeopardize their health through starvation--where’s the outcry for the obesity epidemic in opera? And a lot of the males weren’t exactly svelte.
D’oh! Guess I just lost my bear membership card. How hegemonic of me! ;)
In other news, our $30 DVD player went on the fritz the day I finally received the 50th anniversary Eurovision DVD set. Maudit estie calîsse tabarnak! But I found a good (LG 530A) inexpensive DVD player for $80 bucks. When I got home with it![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
querrelle advised that the cheapo DVD player was off the fritz (i.e. working) again. I’ve watched a couple of performances, but I do have work to do today....
Oh, and I’m all ocular again: wearing glasses for the first time in 10 years. I’m now officially nearsighted and have astigmatism.
Tonight it’s the aquafit, followed by (oh please oh please) sodomy!

Small body=small diaphragm=boo'd off the stage and never gets And, to Las Vegas, never mind the Met or La Scala (or in your case, Eurovision)
Large body=large diaphragm=fill the opera house with glorous vocals resulting in much applause, chocolates, flowers and unending love and devotion from said kweens. Champagne, furs and diva-hood follows.
'Tain't over till the fat lady sings!
I prefer Eurovision to Opera
Date: 2005-10-27 09:24 am (UTC)Don't dare to change from Eurovision to Opera or I would send Montserrat Caballé (who is a spanish citizen but, oh, has her taxes in Andorra, which means she doesn't pay taxes) to sit on you!
Smooches
