"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."
I KNOW you all have been *breathlessly* awaiting to hear some of the singers from our first opera of the season - *Rigoletto*! This video was recorded last Wednesday.... enjoy! (Backstage photos coming soon...)
Wow ...wow wow wow!!!! That Gilda's voice is just amazing!!! So rich and even in the high registers which so often challenges even the best singers. Superb. Enjoy the full production Robin ... I know you will. Big hug. xx Jos
Can't play the video here.........it get interrupted all the time, will try at home again. But what I did hear sounded like a great voice. Happy for you hope all the operas this season will be great for you! Hope to talk soon............. love from Africa
I like the costumes! The singing sounds exciting. Believe it or not I have never attended the opera.
Robin, thanks so much for your comments on my blog today. I am so glad you enjoyed the humor as well as the art. And your suggestion for Carlos to hang all my drawings would be such a dream. I did ask about a show there, but I think the concept is not one he connected with...an art show in a restaurant seemed foreign to him. ;-) I'm glad he likes looking at them.
A lover of all of life's beauties - music, poetry, nature, animals, the ever-changing moon, the smell of jasmine at twilight. Thunder and lightning in the Summertime. The smell of Pinon after the rain. Running through crisp, multi-coloured Autumn leaves with my favourite Chocolate Lab, Walking in the first snowfall of Winter and tasting snow on my tongue. Believing in the power of love - no matter what...
