Ainadamar - Exotic Met's New Production 25.10.2024 14:52

WELCOME BACK!!! I really like Ainadamr😭 Latin cultural really can get people immerse in since the first glimpse. I forgot to mention but I really like the chorus and the choreography, they work together really well and pretty. https://youtu.be/X6Fnb6FgcCE ...do you know that Gustavo Dudamel also conducted this opera before? https://youtu.be/LgnwQcJqDeI Send Aulinda a Text Message Support the show...

Disappointments for Víkingur Ólafsson & Nyphil & Honeck 06.10.2024 20:13

I can't think of any better titles so if you have any good ideas just send me a message :). I forgot to mention but Ólafsson is really handsome... he looks way more better than what's on the media.

The Hours | Stories of Women 02.06.2024 15:03

Why am I always sick... It's complex do I like The Hours or not, I'm more like neutral to this opera, but I would like to see more this kind of opera with story-in-depth and a focus on female characters. Anyway I think I might do an episode about Turandot and it will be the last ep of the season. What should I do in the summer? Introducing and comment on recordings? If you have any good...

Orfeo and Eurydice, But With No Love 27.05.2024 18:00

Here's the link for the duet “Vieni, appaga il tuo consorte” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99QSwbucJxg I don't really recommend this, it's great but there's nothing excited... to be honest I'd rather going to El Nino. Anyway the open house was fun. What should I do for ep #20🤔, I want it to be interesting. *Recordings I played are for education purpose only Send Aulind...
