@RmjBooks The fact that Blomstedt is still conducting in his nineties is kind of bonkers. About T&I: we muddled through till the end. They had Internet issues. I really liked it, both the production and Lise & Michael.

@_Michje Terrific! Just think they are about the sameage now, what about a re-match?! Btw, did things at T&I settle down at the cinema?

Leontyne Price appreciation tweet! Turned 99 last month, so she was 59 (!) during this concert performance of the final scene of Salomé with Herbert Blomstedt. Acting with only her face. WHAT. A. VOICE. ❤️ #opera #richardstrauss #Salomé youtu.be/RotF0uy4Iic?is…

Berliner Philharmoniker
Wie hat Richard Wagner bei seiner Inszenierung des »Rheingolds« das Schwimmen der Rheintöchter simuliert? Warum hat er sich über die Uraufführung geärgert? Und wie viele Ambosse braucht es für eine Aufführung des Werkes? 💡 Diese und weitere Fragen beantwortet unser Tour-Blog: berliner-philharmoniker.de/blog/osterfest…

@Bachvereniging @TiVre_Utrecht I had to think about our conversation yesterday, @jepaco . After the opening chorus, our mayor got up from her seat and returned 10 minutes later. Are mayors exempt from the "do not enter during a performance" policy? 😂

Masaaki Suzuki is back in town🥰 to conduct my first St. Matthew passion of the season with the @Bachvereniging at @TiVre_Utrecht. I've sung it (tenor & bass in choir 1&2) written about it, lectured on it listened to it a million times, and still not tired of it. #Bach #Matthäus

@RmjBooks @MetOpera There's lots of clips on YouTube and social media where you can see this. According to the director Yuval Sharon, T&I is about rebirth. In the first act there's a younger version of T&I functioning as doubles.

@_Michje @MetOpera The commentator was saying there are silent actor doubles on the stage. I've seen it in opera and it irritates me.

Big cuts! Pages and pages “Der Tag! Der Tag!” all gone, missing a whole thematic development.

@jepaco You're probably having a better experience. Loss of technical issues here, unfortunately.

@jepaco You were there, so maybe it was justified. Artists are also human, after all. Remember when Patti Lupone lost it on stage when somebody was filming her? 😂

After the Masnadieri overture the House let in latecomers, and there was a HORDE of them finding seats through the entirety of Amor ti vieta. I felt so sorry for Meli. Maestro Muti turned around and scolded the audience for a couple of minutes.

@RmjBooks @jepaco Not clapping can be awkward as well. It's an early 20th century invention. Performers have different opinions about it. I think they should include this in the "turn your phone to silent mode" messages before the concert, so we all know what to do.

@jepaco @_Michje Whilst on a moan about audiences, am I alone in singularly disliking clapping between movements. Only this week during a radio broadcast of Tchaikovsky 6th symphony, yes you've guessed it, the clapping after the 3rd mvt. .
