  • Add-ons for Ep.12 Romeo and Juliet

    Hope someone could identify that the left corner random drawing is an email symbol...

    I love French operas, especially those related to love, French people are really talented at revolution and love.

    I should work more efficiently and stop being late... need to finish my review on the Beethoven string quartet.

  • The Bored Swallow - Met's La Rondine

    Welcome back!

    La Rondine is a great work :) 

    One of the most famous English French courtesan I can think of is Cora Pearl,  she published a memory, Mémoires de Cora Pearl. If you are interested at this topic, reading it will be a good choice.

    Happy April fools day! I can't think of any fools or jokes but enjoy!

  • Fate or Gate, that's a Question.

    Why is it fate or gate because 1. Destino -> fate, 2. my desire to leave -> door -> gate. 

    And that is based on the quote "To be, or not to be, that is the question." from Shakespeare's Hamlet. 

    Hope you get my little humor!

    Is it time to get a butter mic? I do think the sound quality is kinda unsatisfied.

    Please listen to Serafin and Callas' version of La Forza del Destino, it is really great and I use it as reference. 

    I'll definitely be there when Davidsen comes back next season!!!

  • Romeo & Juliet? I rather stay home!

    Hi everyone I'm finally back!

    I think I do want to mention here is that Juliet is about 14 year olds when marrying Romeo... 

    The opera itself is splendid, beautiful. But not the met's presentation.

    I try to invite Federick Ballentine to my school, will make some update if that happens.

    Can't wait to see the new production of La Forza del Destino, time to judge some new production.

  • Judging Met Opera 24-25 Program & What Did I do

    I didn't give up this podcast, I'm alive... and I'm back!

    Hello everyone! How's your days. I enjoyed one month break. I was listening to Mendelssohn for these days and have read a few great books related to opera. 

    ehh... I lose my recording for two of the works:

    Fidelio: I love all of the singers, defiantly excited to see it
    Die Frau ohne Schatten: another Strauss' work, I like the libretto and the opera itself. The fact that this opera is about marriage and love and this production a gift of a Managing Director and his wife is interesting.

    24-25 season is like, average, but it is 2024, please, just don't have any high expectation.  

    I don't wanna say much about the new productions before the came up, but Peter Gelb please don't mess up everything :)

  • Get Some Butterfly & Met's Light

    Met's Madame Butterfly here!

    My eyes can still feel that pain... the lighting reminds me of nycballet from last season since they also got really bright lights
    If a random foreign males says he wants to marry me (14 and half by this point) I'll make sure to kick his ... as hard as possible
    I feel like I'm turning podcasts into essays especially now this form of I say my point -> find arias that prove my point. I don't really like this but I'm not that sure of what I can do. If you have great advices please do consider email me at [email protected]

    By the way if you are interested at Aulinda's pick, which is something kinda like a daily opera recommendation except I'm not doing that in a daily bases (as a high school student I really don't have that much time to do so)

  • [New Year Special] Akhnaten and my Obsession

    Happy new year! First Episode in 2024, I decided to do a special one for my favorite opera of all time -------- Akhnaten. 
    It is relatively long because Akhnaten is really truly my favorite opera. If you don't want to listen to my personal little stories with opera and Akhnaten please just jump right to 9:01.
    This is the longest episode I've ever done, I tried to stop myself from saying too much otherwise it will exceeds 40 minutes.
    See you in my next episode!
