  1. I've been looking at his ad for a few months now since I prefer middle-aged muscle hunks. I wish I could see a face picture
  2. Caruso, Callas, Pavarotti, Fleming, etc. all had some negative critics. I've met opera fans like Mr. Pons in the past, whose attitude is "I, truly, am one of the few who know great singing. You cannot fool me. The people running the operas houses in Vienna and New York don't know, but I know". Those of us who attend the opera on a regular basis all have our own opinions.
  3. Simply put - I was so scared that I was not sexually active with other men. I rented a lot of porn videos during those years.
  4. Have any of you discovered the Vocal Reckoning channel on youtube by ex-tenor Emilio Pons? Here is his review of the Met's Tristan und Isolde and, at 12:25, he says Ryan Speedo Green was horrible -
  5. You wouldn't turn away the guy in the selfie, but would you pay the same price? I wouldn't pay the guy in the selfie the same amount as the guy in those photos that are now over 10 years old
  6. Someone once said to me "a cluttered home is a cluttered mind" and I live in a very minimalist environment. It works for me and when I have to move into an assisted living facility it won't be difficult to downsize
  7. Here is his ad, claiming to be 36 though he's 44 this year - DerekLV - Male Escort, Gay massage - Las Vegas | Rent.Men
  8. I don't know who Mr. Chalamet is but, as an actor, would he say: "Who wants to see King Lear when Dancing with the Stars is so much more an enriching experience". He probably is 100% Hollywood - superficial and dumb
  9. I have only seen Tristan und Isolde twice - Heppner & Eaglen, Robert Dean Smith & Voigt. Both sopranos were good. The third act is murderous for the tenor. Heppner, IMHO, was the most overrated tenor of his generation and he never made history as a Wagnerian tenor. Robert Dean Smith had a light voice and Tristan was not his role.
  10. as the saying goes: "Time in the market is more important than Timing the market"
  11. Big Frank appeared as a guest on the Robin Byrd Show. If you want to see Frank's ass as he dances go to the site below, scroll down; on the lower right you'll choose "Archive of Show Dancers". Then you'll click on the left "Frank 1" and "Frank 2". www.robinbyrd.com/robinbyrddotcom/main.html
  12. Nothing more depressing than negative reviews about a provider with phenomenal looks and a phenomenal body.
  13. Miss Price has mentioned that Sam Barber composed some of "Antony and Cleopatra" whilst visiting her at home and enjoying the delicious meals prepared by her companion Lulu Shoemaker
  14. I know somebody who knew Miss Price and was actually inside her house. While she was living there the house definitely did not have 4,576 square feet of livable space with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.
  15. Acc. to the streeteasy ad "5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms". The architect must be a genius to fit 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms into such a tiny house. He/she must have extended the house in the back, reducing the size of the garden
  16. I've heard that singers like Terfel and Kaufman are very family oriented and prefer to stay on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean to be close to home. Rehearsals and then a run of performances in NY would require a commitment of 5 weeks or more. Cecilia Bartoli does not like to fly (she's said that in interviews) and she may get higher performance fees in Europe. I have never heard Lise Davidsen sing live, but don't you think Cecilia Bartoli is the more important singer of the two? .... albeit singing very different repertoire. On a side note, the finest female singer I ever heard in my entire life was Sydney's own Joan Sutherland.
  17. Does the Australian government subsidize Opera Australia in any way? The Met Opera apparently gets very little money from our government; it relies on the generosity of wealthy benefactors. I read once that if the Met were to sell out every performance it would still only generate 50% of the annual budget. The other 50% has to come from other sources. The other problem is a lack of star singers willing to come to the USA. If Cecilia Bartoli, Bryn Terfel, or Jonas Kaufman were on the Met roster it would be easier to sell tickets.
  18. goodboybruiser needs an underscore in the link - https://rent.men/goodboy_Bruiser
  19. I'm sure many of you have heard of the Met's plan to sell its Chagall murals provided that the buyer will allow them to remain in the Met lobby. Who would agree to that? Also, the endowment fund is below $200 million. The other Met - the Metropolitan Museum of Art - has an endowment of several billion. and the Met Opera should have an endowment of a similar size if it hopes to survive.

    My first guess was Massapequa Park, but I think Manhasset is closer to NYC
  21. These are the January 1, 2026 photos of Miss Price's former home at 9 Vandam Street in SoHo. It is still far from being ready for occupancy
  22. I envy your opportunity to have lunch with a legend. I heard her sing live on 5 occasions in the U.S. I later wrote a fan letter to her, addressed to her home in Switzerland. I was overjoyed when she wrote back to me. I still have the letter
  23. He's made many, many porn videos. If he came to Arizona I'd hire him in a flash
  24. I also suspect it is a reason why Mr. von Cron's career never went very far.
  25. Do any of you remember the catty article written by conductor Stephan von Cron? He was hired to be an assistant to Richard Bonynge and wrote about the experience - https://web.archive.org/web/20020803041224/http://operastars.com/sutherland.htm
