Vox Operae

@mormolyke More exactly about the epoch-changing opening of the cablecar to Vesuvius. That funicular didn’t take off, but it established the first funicular in the Naples area, and the next ones (in the urban core) were momentous additions to the city’s services.

Also I realized I had absolutely zero idea what any of the lyrics meant until this moment lol wtf it is a song about a trolley line!?

Kinda embarrassed to admit this, but I was just wondering, "What opera is Funiculì, Funiculà from?" and was shocked to discover it's not from an opera at all?? I feel like I've spent my whole life waiting to encounter it in some obscure opera where it's the only memorable song.

@UncleDickScott @HotepJesus What about neither??

I don’t even know what I watched but I’m so proud of Kanye. #Nebuchadnezzar

@jbrownrecords It’s a disastrous piece devoid of all originality, sense of shape, and point. Listen to Glass’ Akhnaten if you want minimalism.

@HannahWolfWolf This isn’t an oratori either...

@TIDAL This is bad!!!! Beautiful voices are not enough to save it. And the performance started more than 2 hours late. Also, why are they singing in Latin, a language which didn’t exist for 700 years after Neb’s death, and that in a completely different continent? #Nebuchadnezzar #Kanye
