sydneyboy got a reaction from musclestuduws in Gurrelieder at the Sydney Opera House
I know it’s not an opera but this seems the best place to discuss it.
Last night I attended a performance of Schoenberg’s cantata Gurreleider at the Sydney Opera House by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra conducted by Simone Young. It was the first time Sydney has heard the work and it an occasion to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of the composer.
There were 139 players in the expanded orchestra, 3 choirs totalling 271 singers and 6 superb international soloists.
It was an astonishing overwhelming experience never to be repeated in my lifetime. The spontaneous standing ovation at the end said it all. Tremendous.
I just read a review online of the performance by the Sydney Morning Herald’s music critic. In his words “ a massive monument to the imagination, this performance was a triumph.”

I heard Simone Young talk about the performance a couple of days ago on ABC RN (on the Music Show, I think). I'm glad it lived up to her ambitions for it.

sydneyboy reacted to + Charlie in Norway Summer Visit Suggestions
The other places are pretty to look at, but if you intend to stay any length of time, Bergen and Oslo are more interesting. I know nothing about the gay scene, because I was only in Norway once, more than 30 years ago, on a tour with my elderly mother. The opera house in Oslo was the only place I have ever seen a production with singers singing in different languages : Aida sung in Norwegian by everyone except the lead, a visiting Russian artist who sang her role in Italian.

Met Skyler tonight. Very boyish in appearance but he has a tight body, a nice dick, and is all man! Will meet again!

For the life of me I can’t see anything special or particularly attractive about his nips.
