The Salzburg Easter Festival is over, but Krista was privileged to listen to a recording of Jonas in the title role of Wagner's Tannhäuser this past weekend on Austrian radio. Was he as bland as those first reviews claimed? What's with the feet in Act 2 and 3? Why did some weird schmutz monster maul Jonas in Act 2? And why is Krista's audio being a pain in the ass? (Everything except the last question will be answered)

Hello, and welcome to the opA Tresh Podcast with audio issues. I'm
Christa and I'm finally audible. Whono, we I I like. I
know that you guys have probably heardlike the skips in the in the in
the blips in the audio. AndI think it's because of the fact that
(00:22):
I had to get a new uhcomputer, because because my old computer didn't
do that, and I thought itwould work. I thought I would be
able to get it to work ifI used a headset. And um,
unfortunately for me, when you couldhear like when we recorded, you could
hear me, but Anna was talking, but her voice wasn't coming through like
(00:47):
like it wasn't picking up her jackass. Yeah, but it wasn't. But
it wasn't picking up her voice.So we had to unhook the unhook the
headset, I mean, and andkudos to my kudos to make BANDI who
suggested I used, you know,I at least try to use my workhead
set. It did work last Yeah, I thought it was gonna work last
(01:07):
night and it didn't. It didn'tquite register like it did last night,
like it actually picked up that.Um. The the fact that the actual
make and model of my headset inthe in the listing so that it sounded
crisper with the with the headset thatit than normal. But uh, tonight
it didn't pick it up, andI was kind of upset. But well,
(01:30):
we'll figure it out eventually, we'llfigure out. Okay, we'll do
it live. Yeah, fuck it, we'll do it live. What do
you want? This was me bitchingabout work. Yeah, this is the
second day that some system I've beeninvolved with has had issues. UM,
my work computer use it. Oneof the systems we use is Microsoft Access
(01:51):
and it, um, oh yeah, it decided it wanted to open in
Access two thousand and ten, whichisn't really behaving on our systems, and
it caused everything to freeze, andit froze un first for five minutes and
(02:15):
then first again for two hours,which meant that I could not do my
usual fix, which was um tryingto essentially um just going and switch what
it which version it's opening in andthey were in the process. There was
(02:36):
some Christmas communication between me and mysupervisor and it it was a shit showes
ran today. When I went in, I decided to be smart and take
a look to see what my previouslydownloaded versions of the database word to open
it, and damned if it wasn'tfixing to do that a second time,
but this time, before I openedanything, I changed the motherfucker. There
(02:59):
you go. Worked. But I'vethen perceived it didn't really have a heart
attack because I got the connection anddirected messaging a verbal desktop At one point.
Ah yeah, I lean out theloudness, talking, oh hell no
known demand I had to. OhI I am thankful that right now,
(03:21):
like when I switched jobs next week, that for the time being, we're
not gonna be in Citrix. Theyeventually want us to use Citrics, but
like right now, we're not gonnabe using Citrics. So thankfully I don't
have to put up with that bullshitbecause I had because I had to reboot
today. It froze on me.Well, not if it didn't freeze on
(03:43):
me, it starts lagging like ifI notice, like like with not if
I have her over something, Igo to click it, it'll have that
little hour glass pop up and it'slike, you jackass, don't do that
to me. You know, Ihate that. But every once in a
while it will freeze. But ithasn't froze on me lately. Um,
like it's definitely some I fight bullshit. Yes it is, it is,
(04:03):
but yeah, it's like, ohit's like, oh, Citcher to you,
motherfucker. I don't have to dealwith you for a while, for
a long while after this week,wait me. Yeah really, but which
one of us still does? Folks? Yeah, oh god, poor poor
(04:24):
ye still has to put up withCitchris. But yeah, we yeah,
we we We both have our shareof work computer m horror stories. Yeah,
horror stories and that's fuckery h god, damn it again with the Boles.
(04:46):
Yeah really, Um, okay,so we have so this week we're
gonna talk about uh the uh thispast weekend, I got I got to
listen to Develker. I forgot itwas Anna Ceaster weekend, so uh and
she forgot about about Debulker. Butconnection to everyone's house isn't that good and
we call it timmy. For thoseof you who don't know about my mom's
internet, my mom isn't a positionwhere you can only get a satellite internet
(05:10):
hookup because for some god on noreason, Comcast Internet doesn't fucking go out
to Somerset Burrow, which is fuckingstupid. Yeah, Soshasty used Husnet,
and now the problem. To befair to Husnet, the problem ended up
being that something had knocked a screwon the on the satellite dish, so
(05:35):
it was moving. That's what theproblem was. And of course Mom and
I blamed the gigantic fucking squirrel thatused to hang around that we called squirrels
zilla um, which they said whenthe tech found it and said it was
an annal, it's probably like asquirrel or something, and moment I looked
at each other and we're like,yeah, we know exactly which you want.
(05:56):
Um. So he's been more stable. Timmy's been more stable then,
but he initially the Internet was initiallygoing down like constantly, so every time
it happened, to keep myself fromprocts, I was trying to work from
home at my mom's house during avandemic. When this was going down,
I started every time the internet crest, I started yelling a line from Dinosaurs,
which was we're going to need anotherteam, which is what happened when
(06:20):
mister Lizard would blow up his youngassistant, who was inevitably always named Timmy.
So we so my mom, whoclearly remembers those moments from times I
thought they were just as funny asI thought they were, and has my
sense of humor in spades, waslike, okay, so the Internet's name
is Timmy accepted, And then asebl knowed, her five G doesn't always
(06:46):
work in her house because she hasa mental roof. She has named the
five G Faraday because she says herbecause with the metal roof, her house
acts like a Faraday cage. Ohdoes she or a core named the fact
in her place? And I couldnot be more proud. Nice, But
yeah it was. It was orthodoxeas here last weekend. And we have
(07:08):
this funny tradition I me and Momwand you do. Ever since, like
pretty much ever since we us kidsgot phones and got texting, came abilities
on east on Orthodoxy, we'll texteach other, We'll text each other.
She's strow Aesti, which was JohnCorbett's butchering of Christo Sinesti in my Big
(07:29):
Factory wedding. Because one, weknow Mom absolutely loves John Corbett, has
loved him since he was Chris inthe Morning. And two it's fucking funny.
Well, my people were riding forthe last of the year. People
were swinging from trees or something likethat it's link to that effect. Yeah,
but yeah, we think it's funny. So we that's like our that's
(07:54):
our tradition. And I texted itthis year, my little sister goes.
I was just about to text that, Oh my god. Yeah, yeah,
but it was it was a goodIt was a good easter we got
My grandfather had sent up some Arabicfood, so our easter brunch, as
(08:20):
it were, were baked kivy footballseric rice, so like rice with orzo
in it. We which in myfamily we call it situtris because my great
grandmother always made out whenever we comeup, and it was always really buttery
and delicious and Stef's cabbage leaves,but the long ones instead of the short
(08:46):
and fat ones. So the onesthat are the ones that are the ones
that are built like Janus instead ofme, oh okay, the tall,
skinny ones instead of the yeah okay. Uh so yeah, and I got
sent home with great leaves and spinachwies, which are not present any longer.
(09:09):
Great leaves don't last long around myfamily member, no, no, I
can imagine. Oh my god,I had Yeah, yeah, it was
good and I managed to score onthe day on our Holy Monday, which
was a day after but after everyoneelse's Easter, or is My grandfather blessed
him at ninety seven, likes tocall it Pagan Easter, Pagan's Easter.
(09:35):
I don't know how long he's beencalling it that, but it's funny and
he and like I said, he'sninety seven. He can do what he
wants. At this point. Theday after I hesitated to say Catholic Easter,
but it's like the day after everyoneelse is Easter. Yeah. Yeah,
Um, I scored. I scoreda pretty good haul of discount candy.
(09:56):
And it's all. It's all Racy'swhole. Oh many many cups and
the many spring turds as I callthem race. For some god unknown reason,
every holiday Reese shape looks to sounddegree like a churd. It does.
That's the Eggsam, the dude.It look these herds. Yeah,
(10:18):
so I've got I got the minichirds, yeah, nice, and a
bag of mini cups. Nice.No, by the way, it is
four nineteen. It is fully leaveum leave weeding cookies out for your dinner
of choice, whether that be whetheryou celebrate Snoop Dog or Willie Nelson or
even Cheech and Chong. Yeah,although Tony Jong is more likely to stop
(10:41):
by and pick that ship up thanCheach Marine is nowadays. Yeah, but
still yeah, oh man, yeahthat's yeah, you got your eating cookies.
I will I will never forget theone year that Snoop Dogg actually tweeted
on April nineteen. Somebody took ascreencap off it and I actually went remember
going to Twitter and checking Snoop dogTwitter camp to make sure that it wasn't
(11:05):
like aked, Yeah, like aclever photoshop. And he was real he
he act when he actually tweeted,don't forget to leave out weed and cookies
tonight. Yeah, like you're probablybetter off leaving them out for Willie Nelson
because he managed to outsmoke Snoop dogSo Willie Nelson is pretty much stoner Jesus
at this point. He is heis he did he else He outsmoked Sup
(11:31):
Snoop Dogg in Amsterdam. Yeah thatafter that, Yeah, that is that
is amazing. Yeah, yeah,Willie Nelson, Tom I think it was
Tom Brady on his podcast asked SnoopDogg what's the most weed ever smoked?
And Snoop Dogg told that story.Yeah yeah, so yeah that Willie Nelson
(11:52):
is like is like steer, likeyou know, like grandfather, the godfather,
the grandfather or whatever. He's stonerJesus Jesus, yeah, like,
And I think the best part aboutWillie not the best thing about Willie Nelson
is no matter how many times hegets busted for a possession, he always
(12:13):
manages to get busted with just themisdeaner amount on him. Yeah when you
know, you know there is travelingwith felony levels of weed. Oh yeah,
but they never find it not tocharge him with more than a misdemeanor.
And I love it, and I'mfair, and I'm thinking that he
(12:37):
mostly put that for touring. Hemostly puts it in edibles. Yeah,
he mostly. And that's why thathas to be because the dog Because if
you bring the drug dogs in,like, they're not gonna sniff at the
fridge because of all the other ingredientsin it. Yeah, like a weed
brown, he's not gonna smell likeweed. No, So I told him.
I think that's how he's managed inall these years. Like, I
(13:01):
honestly think he's been eating most ofhis weed because I know that man would
not dare flush his weed. Hisgood ask wen Oh no, no,
no, no, no, hewouldn't. Mom thinks he also has somebody
who transports the weed for him.But might be if they stood but he
but they would have gotten caught bynow. Yeah, that's so I'm thinking
(13:22):
it almost has to be in it. It has to be. Yeah,
that's some god tier. That issome god dear trolling of the police right
there. And he's been doing thatfor as long as I can remember,
too. Yeah, that is somegod tiar trolling. I love that.
Yeah, because we love we loveWillie Nelson here at this podcast for a
(13:45):
variety of reasons. Yes, excellentperformer, but also you know, we
always appreciate a good troll. Yeah, we do now, and of course,
of course you have to you haveto do too. He said that,
he said those big commercials with thelighters because they Oh I love that.
I still I also still love theone post that points out um the
(14:07):
talks about how it like it's weirdto see your dog and Martha Stewart together
and how of the two of them, only one of them has been in
prison and it's not snoop dog.What are the Stewards to embrace in the
Thunderlife? I just I love thatMartha Stewart embracing her sun side. Finally,
(14:28):
she probably made him, has madehim some good ass for twenty cookies.
Oh yeah, really fancy ones.Oh yeah, that's really the Oh
yeah, yeah, you know thoselittle mad lens. You know they have
the little uh the yeah, withthe with the fancy with the fancy molds
as if. Oh yeah, shemakes. I bet she makes madeleins in
(14:50):
the shape of pot leaves. Ohshe gets, she she gets. She
gets only the best molds, youknow, the silicon of molds, and
makes the two kies. Yeah.Oh yeah. So in the unlikely event,
In the unlikely evented Snoop Doggs andlistening suggest that Martha. Yeah,
(15:11):
I mean I personally do not partict. I would not be a smoke weed
because I'm asmatic yea. But yeah, Look, if the most that happens
on that drug is that you eata followed or you see elephants or,
in the case of titles from yourfavorite meme, fat yeah, it's unless
(15:33):
that's just laced with like PCP,You're not gonna be much of a menace.
No, no, serious, Like, the worst thing it's going to
be menace is your refrigerator for possiblythe McDonald's drive through. Yeah, give
me everything on the dollar menu threetimes over. Yeah, really, like
(15:56):

Like, like I said, unlessit's laced with shit, as I
understand it, you're pretty harmless onit. Yeah, yeah, Okay,
(16:18):
there's a story like X told,yeah we are, we are for twenty
friendly here, you're not going tododge. Yeah, there's a storyline now
and I'm and I'm with Jim Belushion the on the fact that one it
has great medical applications and two hisbrother Don would have had a longer career
if he was just just a stoner. Yeah. Yeah, well if he

I thought to be friendly here.Yes, we are here. Just you
know, don't mace your shit.Yeah, don't don't lice it with stupid,
don't be stupid. Yeah, weI mean we we know people who
who you know, would rely onthat if they if they were if their
states were more for twenty friendly anda lot of for medicinal purposes. We
(18:59):
we live in states that do haveyou know, medical marijuana. Um.
I live in a town that hastwo dispensaries within a block of each other.
See, I drove past one ofthem today. I'm the way to
my psychiatrists office. I have noidea where the dispensaries are around here.
I have no idea because they're becauseit's so rural. It's so rural around
here that I'm sure people grow itthemselves. You know, I'm sure people
(19:23):
grow it themselves. They don't goout and like buy it. But uh,
but you know, it's just becausebecause there are so many, there's
so many cornsils there. We havea Drug Task Force DT off here and
uh, they like to fly thelittle their little helicopters and stuff around every
once in a while, looking Joe, Yeah, looking for for weed growing
(19:48):
in the middle of corn fields.That's what. That's the big thing around
here. Since it's so rural,people like to grow weed in the middle
of the corn fields. Not kidding, No, I fully believe it because
on um fucking oh what is onthe show Northwood's Law. Yeah, used
to be on it up in Mainewith the folks up in Maine. Yeah,
(20:14):
for the um oh which the umthe game, the game Ward News.
It would they would frequently run intowe grows in the fucking woods.
Yeah. Yeah, but that's datalcity. Like the corn grows so high
around here, that high. Yeahreally, but no, there was the
(20:41):
one time, there was one timeI remember reading. Uh it was it
was in the police blatter when weused to get them, when we used
to get the newspaper. Uh,somebody called the police to report her plant
was stole and it was her potplants. She called police say, somebody
stole my pot plant off my frontporch. M hmm, okay, lady.
(21:06):
Then there's a joke I heard aboutthis about a an old man,
a soul man used to uh uhwhen day he opened the door, there
was a police star and I said, well, we've had reports of you
growing you know, pot plants,and we'd like to look around your house.
He's just go ahead. So theylooked, and they they there.
They opened the closet and there areare road pot plants with grown lights and
(21:29):
everything, and and the officer said, sir, are you a cultivator?
And he goes, hell, no, I'm a Presbyterian. Oh tiss,
(21:52):
So yeah, that is that isUm? Yeah, that that's yeah,
that that is our I think weI think we've covered the news habit.
Uh, definitely maybe, I thinkso let me check here. I mean,
yeah, we covered some um oh, let's see. Oh yeah,
(22:15):
Ryan's Peter Green won the twenty twentythree Beverly Sials Award. Um let's see
he let's see here. What's itsay? Says Um says. The Metropolitan
Opera has announced that Ryan's Petter Greenis the winner of the twenty twenty three
Beverly Scals Award. This is thesecond time that he receives the decision following
a vitory in twenty twenty one,when he was named alongside for other artists.
(22:36):
The honor comes with a fifty thousanddollars cash award that recognizes major singers
with rising met Opper careers. Greenis currently in the midst of a run
of Champion. At the met ofhis performance opera, Wyer noted that he
sang with a much silkier and robustsound, which was often tested throughout by
a wide variety of vocal styles,especially morti begance numbers during the start of
(22:56):
both halves of the of the opera. Uh yeah, so he's also in
performed in the Death of Klinghoffer,Met Dumba, Butterfly Paska in Portival.
Um yeah, so yeah. Congratulationsto Ryan Speedo Green on one of the
Beverly sALS Award. And uh let'ssee what else do we have? Oh
yeah, we have we have this. Oh yeah, this shit. Uh
(23:18):
kind of well, we'll get tothe we'll get the other one kind kinda
Simon chuck. Uh. She wassupposed to play play uh pressy Cilia uh
in in the METS version. Inthe METS production of Lafoursavil Dustin. It's
new, it's a new production.But um, let's see um but the
website currently the website currently lists therole as TBA and has not announced a
(23:41):
replacement. And this is for thetwenty three twenty fourth season. Um she
here and here's the reason why theMetsa here's probably the reason why. The
Metsic Supart recently performed a tribute toSaint Petersburg at the Marinsky Theater, as
well as a production of Aida alongsideElata Stikina and Valairea Gargev. Yeah,
so that that might be why umyeah, And then then there's this shit,
(24:10):
okay, which which is kind,which is rather unfair, Okay.
The Queen's Sonya competition has elimitated asoprano, Anastasia tarata Quina, because she
is a double citizen of Russia andGermany. Abar Wire has received official emails
from the soprano in which the competitionstates that no person with a Belarussian or
Russian passport will be allowed to participate. The email read this year's regulations do
(24:33):
not allow participations with a Russian orBelarussian citizenship, which unfortunately means that you
are disqualified even though you also havea German passport. We will, of
course rom bearship craved application fee andhope that the situation changes that will be
welcome you to apply for the nextcompetition. She was right, it says
in previous email Tara Tarata Kina saidstated that she was representing Germany because it
was not prohibited by the rules ofthe competition. Um, let's see this.
(24:57):
Additionally, the Sopranos ran say thatshe has lived in Germany for many
years and performs regularly with the StatoVspaden. Um. Yeah, so,
you guys is The news comes asthe Queen Sonya Competition announced earlier this year
that the competition board endorses Norway's condemnationof Russia's illegal and brutal tax in Ukraine.
(25:17):
The competition cities in solidarity with Ukraineand its citizens. Applications for seniors
with Russian or beliracy and citizenship willtherefore not be accepted. Uh. Yeah,
so that is fucking unfair. Shewas competing as she was competing as
a German citizen, not a Russianone. Um. You know, so
even though she has dual citizenship,she was not competing for in as a
(25:37):
Russian citizen. She was competing asa German citizen, which I think.
I think it's pretty damn unfair.She she should have had it. She
should have had a chance to explainherself and say, hey, I've lived
in Germany all you know, allthese years, I regularly perform at and
at the stats Baden. I Iwould rather be a German citizen. I'm
competing as a German citizen. Yeah. Yeah, this is where it gets
(26:03):
dicey, shit like this. Youknow, you have to yeah, yeah,
we're trying to Yeah, you're tryingto make a point. But when
something like this comes up, youcan't just blanket say oh no, you
can't be you're not allowed. Youhave to take case by take, take
case by case. You can't lookat it like in general. You have
to look at it individually. Ithink that I think it was unfair that
(26:25):
she was. I think that's unfairtoo, because she wasn't trying to participate
for Russia. No, nor wasshe trying to participate for another country with
the past. But she didn't havecitizenship. She didn't have Yeah, yeah
she's dual. She had dual citizenship, So I think she should have been
she should have been allowed to participateunder her German citizenship. She know,
yeah, what she was trying todo in the Let's not forget that Belarus
(26:51):
is kind of a is compared toour tiny ass country, and they were
probably they probably were supporting Russia outof the peer that they'd be next if
they didn't. Yeah, So Ithink it's not fair of band Belarusians either.
Yeah so yeah. It's at thesame time, how many Belarusian operators
(27:12):
are there? I don't I honestlydon't know. I don't know any.
I know bog I know, youknow, there's both. There are Bulgarian
ones, um Latvians. I can'tthink if any Belarusia is I can't,
Oh my gosh. But yeah,I just I understand like the Russian ones
(27:33):
being eliminated. But I yeah,no, that's not nice. That's not
nice. And the words and thewords of my and the words of my
little being Tom Tom, that isthat's not nice. Yeah no, that's
not nice. All right, Sothe words of the New Day. That

tell fictional. Yeah yeah, really, he's tired of having his constant boner.
So he wants to go back toreality. And he finds out that
is the Porner version, the Poroparody of the movie The Constant Corner.
Yeah yeah, so so he basicallyI did so so um so basically the
(34:21):
sortin Hoisier is it's a guy whohas been in the in the in the
arms of the goddess Venus. Uhhe but he the arms in the arms
and the ties, the arms,the titties and yeah lee the board hoole,
yeah of Venus, Yeah of Venus. And he finally decides he he
(34:43):
longs to be back in the realworld, okay, and he goes back
to the real world, and um, he has left behind when he went
when he went to to you know, to be with Venus, he left
behind. Uh this this a youngwoman named Elizabeth. Uh she know.
He's like, oh God, don'tyou know I miss her? Yeah,
(35:04):
I'd love to be with her again. And he was about that before you
went into the Penis Garden. Yeahreally really, um so he So of
course they bring back like the singerthe scene competition, and uh it was
like what is your you know,what is your concept of love? And
everybody in these other three people werethinking about, you know, different aspects
(35:27):
of it. He goes right intothis, He goes right into the song
about about you know, rotic loveand the Venus Berg and everybody knows he's
been there, and they start,you know, like, oh you you
discussing man, get away from us. You're you're sick, You're you're gross.
You know. And uh he's toldbasically that if he wants to repent
(35:49):
and be accepted back into back intoyou know, back into the fold,
he has to make a pilgrimage toRome. And uh so that's what he
does. He goes to make apilgridge and pilgrige Schmorrow. And what happens
when he gets there, Finally thePope tells him he is Yeah, the
Pope tells him basically, fuck off. He says, you're you're you're so,
you're so rushed and gross, you'renever young. Yeah, he based.
(36:13):
The Pope essentially says, schedules caedodle, you're big is now a noodle.
Yeah. So he you know,he's like, he's like, the
Pope told me I'd never be youknow, I was irredeemable, you know,
much like much like much like theexpired keep on held by a Karen
It is irredeemable. Yeah, he'sthat was fucking good. He is he
(36:37):
is irredeomable now. Um but uhyeah, he yeah. He Finally he's
like, he's like, I Iwant to go back to He's like,
the Pope told me, I I'mI'm trash. I want to go back
to the Venusburg. Well at thispoint, yeah, yeah, So,
so what happens is that Elizabeth,like at the beginning of A three,
(36:58):
he she's waiting for him to comeback from Rome and she doesn't see him
come back, and so she decidesshe's gonna go off and die because she
can't. Yeah, I'm gonna I'mnot I can say better, drink my
own piss. Yeah really, butshe she says that, you know,
I'm I'm gonna go die now becauseyou know, he hasn't come back.
I guess he didn't. He didn'the wasn't redeemed, he wasn't lost with
(37:20):
the hope. So if you takea nap, I take a dirt nap.
Yeah right here, Yeah, Itake a dirt out right here.
Well yeah, so, so ashe's as he's calling out to Venus and
and and he's ranting and right forhimself. Then the funeral procession comes and
he's like, wait, what's this? And he and they're like, what's
this? What's this? What isthis? Yeah? And and and she's
(37:44):
like, you know, his friendwolf m is there. He says,
Elizabeth died, she's now she's nowan angel above you and he's like,
oh listen, I'm like, God, I can't believe. I can't believe
you died, you know. Andso he so he finds out he realizes
that you know, from from likethe other Pilgrims, that he that he
had been on the journey with thatuh that she is down an angel that
(38:06):
has redeemed him, and uh sohe does he dies. So uh Sokay,
this could be could be basically sometimeas pants fall, everybody dies.
Yeah, pants fall, everybody dies. Uh so and so so that's the
(38:28):
basic store of tan Horser. Okay. And so I saw like if you
had been like if you are likeAnna and me, we're in like at
least one of these Jakray fan groupson on Facebook, and they have shown
multiple times the different seat different likedifferent uh um snapshots of you know,
(38:49):
of the opera, a tent ofthis production of pans About and it it
is different. Okay, tittynies,there are titties in the prelude, okay
um. And it's like this isthis this lineup of amazons shooting arrows at
this picture of an eye. Idon't know what what that's supposed to mean.
(39:12):
I honestly God don't know. Um, I wish, I wish what
happens when she's like through nipples,dude, people's eyes when it's cold in
the opera house. Go on,um what you asking? You're like?
And I do not regret asking,No, I don't. Uh. But
um, so that's like the firstthat's like the prelude, and then biscuits
(39:37):
and the acne is yonis and yonisrumping among the producal biscuits. Wrong,
producal biscuits. Sweete should be rumpingthrough mine. Uh oh my, oh
my, but um uh but it'she sounded amazing in it, okay,
(40:00):
just just from the from the fromthe very beginning, it sounded amazing like
he he sang the you know,like it was just it was just gorgeous,
like he's he did miss a step. Um, he's sang it like
very um. It wasn't like.He does not like to sing Wagner the
way that by Roy wants him singit. He hates to sing it like
(40:22):
they want a lot of yelling andspitting of consonants, and he doesn't like
to do that. He hates todo that, so he likes to sing
it more fluidly. If you've everlistened to him sing Wagner. He does.
He sings it. He doesn't singit in a shouty way. He
see it very fluidly. Like ifyou listen to him sing sing this sings
(40:44):
ten Noiser, it does it soundsgorgeous. Um. But uh yeah that's
Act one. Um he so thena so so like Act two. Uh
there there's a bunch of like BillySheer curtains. Okay, and Marles Patterson
was Elizabeth. She was making herreal debut as Elizabeth, and uh she
(41:06):
is like hiding me high. She'slike on one side of the curtain onus
is on the other. And youknow they're singing to each other now as
as this, uh you know,like and then like they they decided like
the the landgrav or like the thethe they or the like the he's like
(41:28):
the um the owner of the thethe lands you know around Varberg, around
a upper castle. Uh. Hehas decided to bring back to the singing
competition since Tanaiser is back. Sohe called for you know, the the
people to come and watch the singingcompetitions. Like okay, So in this
version, the people are like lying, they come and they land laid down
(41:52):
on the floor they like side byside, okay, and one by one
they start getting up. Yeah,they are all take a napp right here
and there are and like they laydown and like in the background, behind
that one curtain, they stick theirfeet out under from under underneath that curtain,
like their feet like all you seetheir feet. I'm not out monkeys
(42:14):
nightmare. I'm not. I amnot a person who has a phobia of
feet. But I don't understand whythey what what the what the whole thing
about the feet thing. I don't. I don't understand the feet thing.
I don't. I don't. Idon't want understand the faith thing. Um.
But then you know they stand theywonder one. They still leak get
up and they start acting like thethe audience and uh now the now.
(42:37):
The the harp that each singer issupposed is supposed to play as they're singing,
uh, is represented by a bythis giant gold colored bow, like
like you know, like a shootingbow. Yeah. Um, and they
each one take it and they sayingand Yon this of course is saying about
(42:59):
here. He sings about like thevenusburger, like, ah, you've been
in the Venisburger. So then thisthis as they're yelling and singing like get
out to hear you're disgusting this thisthis black this person clad in a black
body suit head to toe and coveredin like this greasy, dirty, shutsy
(43:20):
stuff comes out, comes out andstarts, Yeah that starts wrestling with Jonas
and covering his lovely white robe withuh, with schwootz, just this black
sooty schwotz and and and soon he'slike he's just like, you know,
just like defeated. He's covered Schwitzand it's like and that's when he's told,
(43:44):
you know that you have to goon filgrimage of blah blah and uh
and and that's it. It's like, wow, you know, I don't
I don't get it, you know, like this black, this, this
this SHWUTSI bought guy in a bodysuit comes out and just starts just like
bawling, and it's just like modelingyos and it was it was awful.
(44:06):
But um then in acts like thisis the here's the weirdest part. Okay,
at three is the weirdest part.So Marls Petterson Peterson is out there,
and of course at the beginning ofa three there is there are plastic
or I guess the like fake feet, you know, like disembodied feet laying
around in the background. Okay,don't, I don't. I don't know
(44:28):
why. Okay. So she's yes, she's singing about how she was waiting
for him to come and to comeback he never did, blah blah blah.
So she and she decides to gooff and you know, and die.
And pretty soon, I'm pretty Jonascomes back on. He is dressed
in one of those choir in awhite like choir rug looking thing, and
he starts going into the road narration. It was just in Bostam Herrison and
(44:52):
that was incredible, Seriously, thatwas incredible. He he's recorded before he
did the whole Wagner album. Uh, and that was one of the songs
he recorded. Um and he itwas it was amazing, like that was
that was like two thousand and thirteen, two thousand and four key when he
recorded that. So it's been liketen years. Uh and it just sounded
(45:15):
better than ever seriously. Um.And then like and then you know,
he takes off the road whatever thathe's he's like, I want to go
back to the Vidasburg round um inthe background. They're they're always two slabs,
one says, one has his nameon it, Jonas, and the
other has Marla's Petterson the same onehis is Marla's. So they're supposed to
(45:36):
represent um, like like the bodiesof like Tan Hoyser and uh listen,
And every month, like every sooften they will change them out, like
there's there's a there's wording in thebackground. I have I forget what um,
but they all it said. Butit was like something about like one
hundred thousand years or something like thator whatever. You know. It starts
(46:00):
and increases, it keeps increasing andand pretty sick. And you see these
bodies that are laid out in variousstates of decay until they become like these
piles of dust. So then atthe end, instead of like you know,
instead of like uh Um, Elizabeth, you know, not being there
(46:22):
and and Timewiz are dying, whatJonas and Marlas do is they take they
each take a handful of this bustand the supposed to represent each other,
and they and they let it pouronto this middle like stand, like this
marble looking stand, and they pouredout into one pile to represent the fact
that time, Wiezer and Elizabeth indeath and decay have now joined have have
(46:47):
have become one, have become one, finally one with the dirt. Yeah,
they become they become one with thedirt and the animal poop. Yes.
Now the reviews okay, at first, when when it first uh,
when it first opened on April first, it got tepid reviews, like people
(47:12):
were like, we're throwing shaded andjust Nelson's he was a conductor by saying,
oh he went. He conducted ittoo slowly. It was too slow.
It was it was terrible he did. He did a terrible job of
conducting it. Uh. And peoplewere, uh, we're shooting on the
we're like taking shots at the atthe the staging and stuff. Uh.
(47:36):
And then especially the end of it. Yeah, and then um, they
were praising. They were praising theguy who's saying wolf from Christian Gerhard.
They were praising him, and theywere praising Garret Zepperfeld who played the lugrav
Herman. Uh. They were praising, they were praising both of those guys.
They were like and and then ofcourse they were like Lamaros Patterson did
all right. She kind of heldback. She was uh. She it
(47:59):
was her rule debut. And thenthey're like and yeah, nice was okay,
but he was kind of me andI'm like, what, wait a
minute, what he was? Meh. They had more price where it for
for the like the supporting rules thannonas They're like, yeah, he was
(48:20):
he sounded like he wasn't he wasn'ttoo sure of his own voice in it,
in it, and it's like,are you kidding me? So then,
of course, like other like as, as the performances went on,
you know, the more reviews cameout and they were like, oh yeah,
now like these other womens are like, oh, yeah, he's good.
He's really good in this. Thisis one of the better Ti Ton
Moiser's ever sung. And and they'restill they were still you know, like
(48:45):
the same same thing as before,but this time they were they were like
praising nas for his performance, andit's like, oh, now you're kissing
his ass. Now you're kissing hisass. But uh, I didn't think
there was a problem with the conducting. I honestly didn't. I've heard that,
(49:06):
you know, I heard under NelsonNelson's conduct stuff. I've heard uh
versions of tone, you know,different versions of Tonoiser. I don't think
he had. I don't think itwas too slow. I don't if if
it was too slow, he wasgoing he was going by like the very
first time he saw ton Moiser,he had seen the Paris version, which
is longer. Uh and it's ait's a it's a mite slower. So
(49:30):
he might have been thinking of thatinstead of the Vienna version, which is
what was what what was sung inZeltzberg. But uh, yeah, I
know I thought I had no problemwith it. It was wonderful. Um
yeah, yo yos was amazing init. Uh that was it? A
friend of mine set that that thata couple of months that he spent h
not singing, you know like FibruarianMarch did him a real good So,
(49:54):
I mean he's got his voice back, seriously, there there was no problem
with it. Um. So yeah, he so that that that rest was
what he needed to get his diethis voice back stronger than ever. Um.
But yeah, overall, um,it's really good. I will put
the I will put the YouTube videoup on up under our Facebook page so
(50:15):
you guys can listen to it.Um. Uh yeah and and the the
um the metso who sings Venus isEmma bell Um. She's British. It
was supposed to be Elena Garuncha singingin Venus, but she had to drop
out she was ill so um soEmma bell was a last minute replacement.
So but she did really well,she did um. I may also I
(50:37):
think I'll also put up a thelength that I used when I was when
I was listening to it, Ifollowed along I had. There's a libretto
that's in German and English, soyou can follow along um to the you
know, as they're singing it umsince there's no um, since there's no
um, you know, like subtitles. This is audio. But I'll put
(50:57):
the link for the for the librettoin there too. But that is my
that's my review of Ton Hoyser inSalzburg. I thought I thought he did.
I thought it was wonderful. Honestly, um uh, I'm glad I
didn't. I'm glad I didn't uhuh decide to go there instead of to
Munich because that that was like ifif my Munich plans had fallen through,
(51:21):
that was gonna be my backup.And the tickets were like four hundred bucks
apiece. It's like no, no, no, no, no no,
but yeah, that was that's that'suh so I'm glad I did not do
that, but but it was sowonderful. It sounded it sounded gorgeous and
you know, you might agree withme when you hear it. Um and
(51:43):
of course, um if you knowwhen you when you hear the prelude,
when you hear the overture, youwill you will recognize some of the uh,
some of the melodies from What's Operadoc, which of course I was
singing it. Yeah. No,it was re tied my wab, my
(52:06):
heart is wonging inside me. Wetime, my la. I want you
always beside me. Yeah. Sowhat did I do afterward? When I
after I listened to it, Ifound that clip and I tagged Yonis in
(52:27):
my tweet. I said, Isaid, I don't know if you've ever
I said, I don't know ifif Yonis has ever watched this before,
but after listening to it, afterlistening to the Australian Radio today, it
seems really relevant to his interests.I tagged him of the clip of that
part. Oh my god, ohmy gosh. Well I'll see him and

Hello, and welcome to the opA Tresh Podcast with audio issues. I'm
Christa and I'm finally audible. Whono, we I I like. I
know that you guys have probably heardlike the skips in the in the in
the blips in the audio. AndI think it's because of the fact that
(00:22):
I had to get a new uhcomputer, because because my old computer didn't
do that, and I thought itwould work. I thought I would be
able to get it to work ifI used a headset. And um,
unfortunately for me, when you couldhear like when we recorded, you could
hear me, but Anna was talking, but her voice wasn't coming through like
(00:47):
like it wasn't picking up her jackass. Yeah, but it wasn't. But
it wasn't picking up her voice.So we had to unhook the unhook the
headset, I mean, and andkudos to my kudos to make BANDI who
suggested I used, you know,I at least try to use my workhead
set. It did work last Yeah, I thought it was gonna work last
(01:07):
night and it didn't. It didn'tquite register like it did last night,
like it actually picked up that.Um. The the fact that the actual
make and model of my headset inthe in the listing so that it sounded
crisper with the with the headset thatit than normal. But uh, tonight
it didn't pick it up, andI was kind of upset. But well,
(01:30):
we'll figure it out eventually, we'llfigure out. Okay, we'll do
it live. Yeah, fuck it, we'll do it live. What do
you want? This was me bitchingabout work. Yeah, this is the
second day that some system I've beeninvolved with has had issues. UM,
my work computer use it. Oneof the systems we use is Microsoft Access
(01:51):
and it, um, oh yeah, it decided it wanted to open in
Access two thousand and ten, whichisn't really behaving on our systems, and
it caused everything to freeze, andit froze un first for five minutes and
(02:15):
then first again for two hours,which meant that I could not do my
usual fix, which was um tryingto essentially um just going and switch what
it which version it's opening in andthey were in the process. There was
(02:36):
some Christmas communication between me and mysupervisor and it it was a shit showes
ran today. When I went in, I decided to be smart and take
a look to see what my previouslydownloaded versions of the database word to open
it, and damned if it wasn'tfixing to do that a second time,
but this time, before I openedanything, I changed the motherfucker. There
(02:59):
you go. Worked. But I'vethen perceived it didn't really have a heart
attack because I got the connection anddirected messaging a verbal desktop At one point.
Ah yeah, I lean out theloudness, talking, oh hell no
known demand I had to. OhI I am thankful that right now,
(03:21):
like when I switched jobs next week, that for the time being, we're
not gonna be in Citrix. Theyeventually want us to use Citrics, but
like right now, we're not gonnabe using Citrics. So thankfully I don't
have to put up with that bullshitbecause I had because I had to reboot
today. It froze on me.Well, not if it didn't freeze on
(03:43):
me, it starts lagging like ifI notice, like like with not if
I have her over something, Igo to click it, it'll have that
little hour glass pop up and it'slike, you jackass, don't do that
to me. You know, Ihate that. But every once in a
while it will freeze. But ithasn't froze on me lately. Um,
like it's definitely some I fight bullshit. Yes it is, it is,
(04:03):
but yeah, it's like, ohit's like, oh, Citcher to you,
motherfucker. I don't have to dealwith you for a while, for
a long while after this week,wait me. Yeah really, but which
one of us still does? Folks? Yeah, oh god, poor poor
(04:24):
ye still has to put up withCitchris. But yeah, we yeah,
we we We both have our shareof work computer m horror stories. Yeah,
horror stories and that's fuckery h god, damn it again with the Boles.
(04:46):
Yeah really, Um, okay,so we have so this week we're
gonna talk about uh the uh thispast weekend, I got I got to
listen to Develker. I forgot itwas Anna Ceaster weekend, so uh and
she forgot about about Debulker. Butconnection to everyone's house isn't that good and
we call it timmy. For thoseof you who don't know about my mom's
internet, my mom isn't a positionwhere you can only get a satellite internet
(05:10):
hookup because for some god on noreason, Comcast Internet doesn't fucking go out
to Somerset Burrow, which is fuckingstupid. Yeah, Soshasty used Husnet,
and now the problem. To befair to Husnet, the problem ended up
being that something had knocked a screwon the on the satellite dish, so
(05:35):
it was moving. That's what theproblem was. And of course Mom and
I blamed the gigantic fucking squirrel thatused to hang around that we called squirrels
zilla um, which they said whenthe tech found it and said it was
an annal, it's probably like asquirrel or something, and moment I looked
at each other and we're like,yeah, we know exactly which you want.
(05:56):
Um. So he's been more stable. Timmy's been more stable then,
but he initially the Internet was initiallygoing down like constantly, so every time
it happened, to keep myself fromprocts, I was trying to work from
home at my mom's house during avandemic. When this was going down,
I started every time the internet crest, I started yelling a line from Dinosaurs,
which was we're going to need anotherteam, which is what happened when
(06:20):
mister Lizard would blow up his youngassistant, who was inevitably always named Timmy.
So we so my mom, whoclearly remembers those moments from times I
thought they were just as funny asI thought they were, and has my
sense of humor in spades, waslike, okay, so the Internet's name
is Timmy accepted, And then asebl knowed, her five G doesn't always
(06:46):
work in her house because she hasa mental roof. She has named the
five G Faraday because she says herbecause with the metal roof, her house
acts like a Faraday cage. Ohdoes she or a core named the fact
in her place? And I couldnot be more proud. Nice, But
yeah it was. It was orthodoxeas here last weekend. And we have

but yeah, we think it's funny. So we that's like our that's
(07:54):
our tradition. And I texted itthis year, my little sister goes.
I was just about to text that, Oh my god. Yeah, yeah,
but it was it was a goodIt was a good easter we got
My grandfather had sent up some Arabicfood, so our easter brunch, as
(08:20):
it were, were baked kivy footballseric rice, so like rice with orzo
in it. We which in myfamily we call it situtris because my great
grandmother always made out whenever we comeup, and it was always really buttery
and delicious and Stef's cabbage leaves,but the long ones instead of the short
(08:46):
and fat ones. So the onesthat are the ones that are the ones
that are built like Janus instead ofme, oh okay, the tall,
skinny ones instead of the yeah okay. Uh so yeah, and I got
sent home with great leaves and spinachwies, which are not present any longer.
(09:09):
Great leaves don't last long around myfamily member, no, no, I
can imagine. Oh my god,I had Yeah, yeah, it was
good and I managed to score onthe day on our Holy Monday, which
was a day after but after everyoneelse's Easter, or is My grandfather blessed
him at ninety seven, likes tocall it Pagan Easter, Pagan's Easter.
(09:35):
I don't know how long he's beencalling it that, but it's funny and
he and like I said, he'sninety seven. He can do what he
wants. At this point. Theday after I hesitated to say Catholic Easter,
but it's like the day after everyoneelse is Easter. Yeah. Yeah,
Um, I scored. I scoreda pretty good haul of discount candy.
(09:56):
And it's all. It's all Racy'swhole. Oh many many cups and
the many spring turds as I callthem race. For some god unknown reason,
every holiday Reese shape looks to sounddegree like a churd. It does.
That's the Eggsam, the dude.It look these herds. Yeah,
(10:18):
so I've got I got the minichirds, yeah, nice, and a
bag of mini cups. Nice.No, by the way, it is
four nineteen. It is fully leaveum leave weeding cookies out for your dinner
of choice, whether that be whetheryou celebrate Snoop Dog or Willie Nelson or
even Cheech and Chong. Yeah,although Tony Jong is more likely to stop
(10:41):
by and pick that ship up thanCheach Marine is nowadays. Yeah, but
still yeah, oh man, yeahthat's yeah, you got your eating cookies.
I will I will never forget theone year that Snoop Dogg actually tweeted
on April nineteen. Somebody took ascreencap off it and I actually went remember
going to Twitter and checking Snoop dogTwitter camp to make sure that it wasn't
(11:05):
like aked, Yeah, like aclever photoshop. And he was real he
he act when he actually tweeted,don't forget to leave out weed and cookies
tonight. Yeah, like you're probablybetter off leaving them out for Willie Nelson
because he managed to outsmoke Snoop dogSo Willie Nelson is pretty much stoner Jesus
at this point. He is heis he did he else He outsmoked Sup
(11:31):
Snoop Dogg in Amsterdam. Yeah thatafter that, Yeah, that is that
is amazing. Yeah, yeah,Willie Nelson, Tom I think it was
Tom Brady on his podcast asked SnoopDogg what's the most weed ever smoked?
And Snoop Dogg told that story.Yeah yeah, so yeah that Willie Nelson
(11:52):
is like is like steer, likeyou know, like grandfather, the godfather,
the grandfather or whatever. He's stonerJesus Jesus, yeah, like,
And I think the best part aboutWillie not the best thing about Willie Nelson
is no matter how many times hegets busted for a possession, he always
(12:13):
manages to get busted with just themisdeaner amount on him. Yeah when you
know, you know there is travelingwith felony levels of weed. Oh yeah,
but they never find it not tocharge him with more than a misdemeanor.
And I love it, and I'mfair, and I'm thinking that he
(12:37):
mostly put that for touring. Hemostly puts it in edibles. Yeah,
he mostly. And that's why thathas to be because the dog Because if
you bring the drug dogs in,like, they're not gonna sniff at the
fridge because of all the other ingredientsin it. Yeah, like a weed
brown, he's not gonna smell likeweed. No, So I told him.
I think that's how he's managed inall these years. Like, I
(13:01):
honestly think he's been eating most ofhis weed because I know that man would
not dare flush his weed. Hisgood ask wen Oh no, no,
no, no, no, hewouldn't. Mom thinks he also has somebody
who transports the weed for him.But might be if they stood but he
but they would have gotten caught bynow. Yeah, that's so I'm thinking
(13:22):
it almost has to be in it. It has to be. Yeah,
that's some god tier. That issome god dear trolling of the police right
there. And he's been doing thatfor as long as I can remember,
too. Yeah, that is somegod tiar trolling. I love that.
Yeah, because we love we loveWillie Nelson here at this podcast for a
(13:45):
variety of reasons. Yes, excellentperformer, but also you know, we
always appreciate a good troll. Yeah, we do now, and of course,
of course you have to you haveto do too. He said that,
he said those big commercials with thelighters because they Oh I love that.
I still I also still love theone post that points out um the
(14:07):
talks about how it like it's weirdto see your dog and Martha Stewart together
and how of the two of them, only one of them has been in
prison and it's not snoop dog.What are the Stewards to embrace in the
Thunderlife? I just I love thatMartha Stewart embracing her sun side. Finally,
(14:28):
she probably made him, has madehim some good ass for twenty cookies.
Oh yeah, really fancy ones.Oh yeah, that's really the Oh
yeah, yeah, you know thoselittle mad lens. You know they have
the little uh the yeah, withthe with the fancy with the fancy molds
as if. Oh yeah, shemakes. I bet she makes madeleins in
(14:50):
the shape of pot leaves. Ohshe gets, she she gets. She
gets only the best molds, youknow, the silicon of molds, and
makes the two kies. Yeah.Oh yeah. So in the unlikely event,
In the unlikely evented Snoop Doggs andlistening suggest that Martha. Yeah,
(15:11):
I mean I personally do not partict. I would not be a smoke weed
because I'm asmatic yea. But yeah, Look, if the most that happens
on that drug is that you eata followed or you see elephants or,
in the case of titles from yourfavorite meme, fat yeah, it's unless
(15:33):
that's just laced with like PCP,You're not gonna be much of a menace.
No, no, serious, Like, the worst thing it's going to
be menace is your refrigerator for possiblythe McDonald's drive through. Yeah, give
me everything on the dollar menu threetimes over. Yeah, really, like
(15:56):
you'll like buy all the funnions thingsare just sit around watching cartoons all day.
Like, like I said, unlessit's laced with shit, as I
understand it, you're pretty harmless onit. Yeah, yeah, Okay,
(16:18):
there's a story like X told,yeah we are, we are for twenty
friendly here, you're not going tododge. Yeah, there's a storyline now
and I'm and I'm with Jim Belushion the on the fact that one it
has great medical applications and two hisbrother Don would have had a longer career
if he was just just a stoner. Yeah. Yeah, well if he

herbs, his his herb that hewas selling. Uh. And yeah,
he was like he kept raven.He was like, it was this fuck.
It wasn't so much the hot saucehe was talking about. Oh that's

how good the wings themselves were.Oh, these are so great wings.
(17:49):

He was really chill. But Isaid, I man smoked his last

you can come you compare his theway he acted on hot ones to like
Gordon ramsay Ken jumped pretty good onhot ones. Yeah, oh my god,
I mean he's a he's a he'sliterally a doctor though, so yeah,
(18:33):
he would know how to pace himself. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I thought to be friendly here.Yes, we are here. Just you
know, don't mace your shit.Yeah, don't don't lice it with stupid,
don't be stupid. Yeah, weI mean we we know people who
who you know, would rely onthat if they if they were if their
states were more for twenty friendly anda lot of for medicinal purposes. We
(18:59):
we live in states that do haveyou know, medical marijuana. Um.
I live in a town that hastwo dispensaries within a block of each other.
See, I drove past one ofthem today. I'm the way to
my psychiatrists office. I have noidea where the dispensaries are around here.
I have no idea because they're becauseit's so rural. It's so rural around
here that I'm sure people grow itthemselves. You know, I'm sure people
(19:23):
grow it themselves. They don't goout and like buy it. But uh,
but you know, it's just becausebecause there are so many, there's
so many cornsils there. We havea Drug Task Force DT off here and
uh, they like to fly thelittle their little helicopters and stuff around every
once in a while, looking Joe, Yeah, looking for for weed growing
(19:48):
in the middle of corn fields.That's what. That's the big thing around
here. Since it's so rural,people like to grow weed in the middle
of the corn fields. Not kidding, No, I fully believe it because
on um fucking oh what is onthe show Northwood's Law. Yeah, used
to be on it up in Mainewith the folks up in Maine. Yeah,
(20:14):
for the um oh which the umthe game, the game Ward News.
It would they would frequently run intowe grows in the fucking woods.
Yeah. Yeah, but that's datalcity. Like the corn grows so high
around here, that high. Yeahreally, but no, there was the
(20:41):
one time, there was one timeI remember reading. Uh it was it
was in the police blatter when weused to get them, when we used
to get the newspaper. Uh,somebody called the police to report her plant
was stole and it was her potplants. She called police say, somebody
stole my pot plant off my frontporch. M hmm, okay, lady.
(21:06):
Then there's a joke I heard aboutthis about a an old man,
a soul man used to uh uhwhen day he opened the door, there
was a police star and I said, well, we've had reports of you
growing you know, pot plants,and we'd like to look around your house.
He's just go ahead. So theylooked, and they they there.
They opened the closet and there areare road pot plants with grown lights and
(21:29):
everything, and and the officer said, sir, are you a cultivator?
And he goes, hell, no, I'm a Presbyterian. Oh tiss,
(21:52):
So yeah, that is that isUm? Yeah, that that's yeah,
that that is our I think weI think we've covered the news habit.
Uh, definitely maybe, I thinkso let me check here. I mean,
yeah, we covered some um oh, let's see. Oh yeah,
(22:15):
Ryan's Peter Green won the twenty twentythree Beverly Sials Award. Um let's see
he let's see here. What's itsay? Says Um says. The Metropolitan
Opera has announced that Ryan's Petter Greenis the winner of the twenty twenty three
Beverly Scals Award. This is thesecond time that he receives the decision following
a vitory in twenty twenty one,when he was named alongside for other artists.
(22:36):
The honor comes with a fifty thousanddollars cash award that recognizes major singers
with rising met Opper careers. Greenis currently in the midst of a run
of Champion. At the met ofhis performance opera, Wyer noted that he
sang with a much silkier and robustsound, which was often tested throughout by
a wide variety of vocal styles,especially morti begance numbers during the start of
(22:56):
both halves of the of the opera. Uh yeah, so he's also in
performed in the Death of Klinghoffer,Met Dumba, Butterfly Paska in Portival.
Um yeah, so yeah. Congratulationsto Ryan Speedo Green on one of the
Beverly sALS Award. And uh let'ssee what else do we have? Oh
yeah, we have we have this. Oh yeah, this shit. Uh
(23:18):
kind of well, we'll get tothe we'll get the other one kind kinda
Simon chuck. Uh. She wassupposed to play play uh pressy Cilia uh
in in the METS version. Inthe METS production of Lafoursavil Dustin. It's
new, it's a new production.But um, let's see um but the
website currently the website currently lists therole as TBA and has not announced a
(23:41):
replacement. And this is for thetwenty three twenty fourth season. Um she
here and here's the reason why theMetsa here's probably the reason why. The
Metsic Supart recently performed a tribute toSaint Petersburg at the Marinsky Theater, as
well as a production of Aida alongsideElata Stikina and Valairea Gargev. Yeah,
so that that might be why umyeah, And then then there's this shit,
(24:10):
okay, which which is kind,which is rather unfair, Okay.
The Queen's Sonya competition has elimitated asoprano, Anastasia tarata Quina, because she
is a double citizen of Russia andGermany. Abar Wire has received official emails
from the soprano in which the competitionstates that no person with a Belarussian or
Russian passport will be allowed to participate. The email read this year's regulations do
(24:33):
not allow participations with a Russian orBelarussian citizenship, which unfortunately means that you
are disqualified even though you also havea German passport. We will, of
course rom bearship craved application fee andhope that the situation changes that will be
welcome you to apply for the nextcompetition. She was right, it says
in previous email Tara Tarata Kina saidstated that she was representing Germany because it
was not prohibited by the rules ofthe competition. Um, let's see this.
(24:57):
Additionally, the Sopranos ran say thatshe has lived in Germany for many
years and performs regularly with the StatoVspaden. Um. Yeah, so,
you guys is The news comes asthe Queen Sonya Competition announced earlier this year
that the competition board endorses Norway's condemnationof Russia's illegal and brutal tax in Ukraine.
(25:17):
The competition cities in solidarity with Ukraineand its citizens. Applications for seniors
with Russian or beliracy and citizenship willtherefore not be accepted. Uh. Yeah,
so that is fucking unfair. Shewas competing as she was competing as
a German citizen, not a Russianone. Um. You know, so
even though she has dual citizenship,she was not competing for in as a
(25:37):
Russian citizen. She was competing asa German citizen, which I think.
I think it's pretty damn unfair.She she should have had it. She
should have had a chance to explainherself and say, hey, I've lived
in Germany all you know, allthese years, I regularly perform at and
at the stats Baden. I Iwould rather be a German citizen. I'm
competing as a German citizen. Yeah. Yeah, this is where it gets
(26:03):
dicey, shit like this. Youknow, you have to yeah, yeah,
we're trying to Yeah, you're tryingto make a point. But when
something like this comes up, youcan't just blanket say oh no, you
can't be you're not allowed. Youhave to take case by take, take
case by case. You can't lookat it like in general. You have
to look at it individually. Ithink that I think it was unfair that
(26:25):
she was. I think that's unfairtoo, because she wasn't trying to participate
for Russia. No, nor wasshe trying to participate for another country with
the past. But she didn't havecitizenship. She didn't have Yeah, yeah
she's dual. She had dual citizenship, So I think she should have been
she should have been allowed to participateunder her German citizenship. She know,
yeah, what she was trying todo in the Let's not forget that Belarus
(26:51):
is kind of a is compared toour tiny ass country, and they were
probably they probably were supporting Russia outof the peer that they'd be next if
they didn't. Yeah, So Ithink it's not fair of band Belarusians either.
Yeah so yeah. It's at thesame time, how many Belarusian operators
(27:12):
are there? I don't I honestlydon't know. I don't know any.
I know bog I know, youknow, there's both. There are Bulgarian
ones, um Latvians. I can'tthink if any Belarusia is I can't,
Oh my gosh. But yeah,I just I understand like the Russian ones
(27:33):
being eliminated. But I yeah,no, that's not nice. That's not
nice. And the words and thewords of my and the words of my
little being Tom Tom, that isthat's not nice. Yeah no, that's

tell fictional. Yeah yeah, really, he's tired of having his constant boner.
So he wants to go back toreality. And he finds out that
is the Porner version, the Poroparody of the movie The Constant Corner.
Yeah yeah, so so he basicallyI did so so um so basically the
(34:21):
sortin Hoisier is it's a guy whohas been in the in the in the
arms of the goddess Venus. Uhhe but he the arms in the arms
and the ties, the arms,the titties and yeah lee the board hoole,
yeah of Venus, Yeah of Venus. And he finally decides he he
(34:43):
longs to be back in the realworld, okay, and he goes back
to the real world, and um, he has left behind when he went
when he went to to you know, to be with Venus, he left
behind. Uh this this a youngwoman named Elizabeth. Uh she know.
He's like, oh God, don'tyou know I miss her? Yeah,
(35:04):
I'd love to be with her again. And he was about that before you
went into the Penis Garden. Yeahreally really, um so he So of
course they bring back like the singerthe scene competition, and uh it was
like what is your you know,what is your concept of love? And
everybody in these other three people werethinking about, you know, different aspects
(35:27):
of it. He goes right intothis, He goes right into the song
about about you know, rotic loveand the Venus Berg and everybody knows he's
been there, and they start,you know, like, oh you you
discussing man, get away from us. You're you're sick, You're you're gross.
You know. And uh he's toldbasically that if he wants to repent
(35:49):
and be accepted back into back intoyou know, back into the fold,
he has to make a pilgrimage toRome. And uh so that's what he
does. He goes to make apilgridge and pilgrige Schmorrow. And what happens
when he gets there, Finally thePope tells him he is Yeah, the
Pope tells him basically, fuck off. He says, you're you're you're so,
you're so rushed and gross, you'renever young. Yeah, he based.
(36:13):
The Pope essentially says, schedules caedodle, you're big is now a noodle.
Yeah. So he you know,he's like, he's like, the
Pope told me I'd never be youknow, I was irredeemable, you know,
much like much like much like theexpired keep on held by a Karen
It is irredeemable. Yeah, he'sthat was fucking good. He is he
(36:37):

like, he's like, I Iwant to go back to He's like,
the Pope told me, I I'mI'm trash. I want to go back
to the Venusburg. Well at thispoint, yeah, yeah, So,
so what happens is that Elizabeth,like at the beginning of A three,
(36:58):
he she's waiting for him to comeback from Rome and she doesn't see him
come back, and so she decidesshe's gonna go off and die because she
can't. Yeah, I'm gonna I'mnot I can say better, drink my
own piss. Yeah really, butshe she says that, you know,
I'm I'm gonna go die now becauseyou know, he hasn't come back.
I guess he didn't. He didn'the wasn't redeemed, he wasn't lost with
(37:20):
the hope. So if you takea nap, I take a dirt nap.
Yeah right here, Yeah, Itake a dirt out right here.
Well yeah, so, so ashe's as he's calling out to Venus and
and and he's ranting and right forhimself. Then the funeral procession comes and
he's like, wait, what's this? And he and they're like, what's
this? What's this? What isthis? Yeah? And and and she's
(37:44):
like, you know, his friendwolf m is there. He says,
Elizabeth died, she's now she's nowan angel above you and he's like,
oh listen, I'm like, God, I can't believe. I can't believe
you died, you know. Andso he so he finds out he realizes
that you know, from from likethe other Pilgrims, that he that he
had been on the journey with thatuh that she is down an angel that
(38:06):
has redeemed him, and uh sohe does he dies. So uh Sokay,
this could be could be basically sometimeas pants fall, everybody dies.
Yeah, pants fall, everybody dies. Uh so and so so that's the
(38:28):
basic store of tan Horser. Okay. And so I saw like if you
had been like if you are likeAnna and me, we're in like at
least one of these Jakray fan groupson on Facebook, and they have shown

is different. Okay, tittynies,there are titties in the prelude, okay
um. And it's like this isthis this lineup of amazons shooting arrows at
this picture of an eye. Idon't know what what that's supposed to mean.
(39:12):
I honestly God don't know. Um, I wish, I wish what
happens when she's like through nipples,dude, people's eyes when it's cold in
the opera house. Go on,um what you asking? You're like?
And I do not regret asking,No, I don't. Uh. But
um, so that's like the firstthat's like the prelude, and then biscuits
(39:37):
and the acne is yonis and yonisrumping among the producal biscuits. Wrong,
producal biscuits. Sweete should be rumpingthrough mine. Uh oh my, oh
my, but um uh but it'she sounded amazing in it, okay,
(40:00):
just just from the from the fromthe very beginning, it sounded amazing like
he he sang the you know,like it was just it was just gorgeous,
like he's he did miss a step. Um, he's sang it like
very um. It wasn't like.He does not like to sing Wagner the
way that by Roy wants him singit. He hates to sing it like
(40:22):
they want a lot of yelling andspitting of consonants, and he doesn't like
to do that. He hates todo that, so he likes to sing
it more fluidly. If you've everlistened to him sing Wagner. He does.
He sings it. He doesn't singit in a shouty way. He
see it very fluidly. Like ifyou listen to him sing sing this sings
(40:44):
ten Noiser, it does it soundsgorgeous. Um. But uh yeah that's
Act one. Um he so thena so so like Act two. Uh
there there's a bunch of like BillySheer curtains. Okay, and Marles Patterson
was Elizabeth. She was making herreal debut as Elizabeth, and uh she
(41:06):
is like hiding me high. She'slike on one side of the curtain onus
is on the other. And youknow they're singing to each other now as
as this, uh you know,like and then like they they decided like
the the landgrav or like the thethe they or the like the he's like
(41:28):
the um the owner of the thethe lands you know around Varberg, around
a upper castle. Uh. Hehas decided to bring back to the singing
competition since Tanaiser is back. Sohe called for you know, the the
people to come and watch the singingcompetitions. Like okay, So in this
version, the people are like lying, they come and they land laid down
(41:52):
on the floor they like side byside, okay, and one by one
they start getting up. Yeah,they are all take a napp right here
and there are and like they laydown and like in the background, behind
that one curtain, they stick theirfeet out under from under underneath that curtain,
like their feet like all you seetheir feet. I'm not out monkeys
(42:14):
nightmare. I'm not. I amnot a person who has a phobia of
feet. But I don't understand whythey what what the what the whole thing
about the feet thing. I don't. I don't understand the feet thing.
I don't. I don't. Idon't want understand the faith thing. Um.
But then you know they stand theywonder one. They still leak get
up and they start acting like thethe audience and uh now the now.
(42:37):
The the harp that each singer issupposed is supposed to play as they're singing,
uh, is represented by a bythis giant gold colored bow, like
like you know, like a shootingbow. Yeah. Um, and they
each one take it and they sayingand Yon this of course is saying about
(42:59):
here. He sings about like thevenusburger, like, ah, you've been
in the Venisburger. So then thisthis as they're yelling and singing like get
out to hear you're disgusting this thisthis black this person clad in a black
body suit head to toe and coveredin like this greasy, dirty, shutsy
(43:20):
stuff comes out, comes out andstarts, Yeah that starts wrestling with Jonas
and covering his lovely white robe withuh, with schwootz, just this black
sooty schwotz and and and soon he'slike he's just like, you know,
just like defeated. He's covered Schwitzand it's like and that's when he's told,
(43:44):
you know that you have to goon filgrimage of blah blah and uh
and and that's it. It's like, wow, you know, I don't
I don't get it, you know, like this black, this, this
this SHWUTSI bought guy in a bodysuit comes out and just starts just like
bawling, and it's just like modelingyos and it was it was awful.
(44:06):
But um then in acts like thisis the here's the weirdest part. Okay,
at three is the weirdest part.So Marls Petterson Peterson is out there,
and of course at the beginning ofa three there is there are plastic
or I guess the like fake feet, you know, like disembodied feet laying
around in the background. Okay,don't, I don't. I don't know
(44:28):
why. Okay. So she's yes, she's singing about how she was waiting
for him to come and to comeback he never did, blah blah blah.
So she and she decides to gooff and you know, and die.
And pretty soon, I'm pretty Jonascomes back on. He is dressed
in one of those choir in awhite like choir rug looking thing, and
he starts going into the road narration. It was just in Bostam Herrison and
(44:52):
that was incredible, Seriously, thatwas incredible. He he's recorded before he
did the whole Wagner album. Uh, and that was one of the songs
he recorded. Um and he itwas it was amazing, like that was
that was like two thousand and thirteen, two thousand and four key when he
recorded that. So it's been liketen years. Uh and it just sounded
(45:15):
better than ever seriously. Um.And then like and then you know,
he takes off the road whatever thathe's he's like, I want to go
back to the Vidasburg round um inthe background. They're they're always two slabs,
one says, one has his nameon it, Jonas, and the
other has Marla's Petterson the same onehis is Marla's. So they're supposed to
(45:36):
represent um, like like the bodiesof like Tan Hoyser and uh listen,
And every month, like every sooften they will change them out, like
there's there's a there's wording in thebackground. I have I forget what um,
but they all it said. Butit was like something about like one
hundred thousand years or something like thator whatever. You know. It starts
(46:00):
and increases, it keeps increasing andand pretty sick. And you see these
bodies that are laid out in variousstates of decay until they become like these
piles of dust. So then atthe end, instead of like you know,
instead of like uh Um, Elizabeth, you know, not being there
(46:22):
and and Timewiz are dying, whatJonas and Marlas do is they take they
each take a handful of this bustand the supposed to represent each other,
and they and they let it pouronto this middle like stand, like this
marble looking stand, and they pouredout into one pile to represent the fact
that time, Wiezer and Elizabeth indeath and decay have now joined have have
(46:47):
have become one, have become one, finally one with the dirt. Yeah,
they become they become one with thedirt and the animal poop. Yes.
Now the reviews okay, at first, when when it first uh,
when it first opened on April first, it got tepid reviews, like people
(47:12):
were like, we're throwing shaded andjust Nelson's he was a conductor by saying,
oh he went. He conducted ittoo slowly. It was too slow.
It was it was terrible he did. He did a terrible job of
conducting it. Uh. And peoplewere, uh, we're shooting on the
we're like taking shots at the atthe the staging and stuff. Uh.
(47:36):
And then especially the end of it. Yeah, and then um, they
were praising. They were praising theguy who's saying wolf from Christian Gerhard.
They were praising him, and theywere praising Garret Zepperfeld who played the lugrav
Herman. Uh. They were praising, they were praising both of those guys.
They were like and and then ofcourse they were like Lamaros Patterson did
all right. She kind of heldback. She was uh. She it
(47:59):
was her rule debut. And thenthey're like and yeah, nice was okay,
but he was kind of me andI'm like, what, wait a
minute, what he was? Meh. They had more price where it for
for the like the supporting rules thannonas They're like, yeah, he was
(48:20):
he sounded like he wasn't he wasn'ttoo sure of his own voice in it,
in it, and it's like,are you kidding me? So then,
of course, like other like as, as the performances went on,
you know, the more reviews cameout and they were like, oh yeah,
now like these other womens are like, oh, yeah, he's good.
He's really good in this. Thisis one of the better Ti Ton
Moiser's ever sung. And and they'restill they were still you know, like
(48:45):
the same same thing as before,but this time they were they were like
praising nas for his performance, andit's like, oh, now you're kissing
his ass. Now you're kissing hisass. But uh, I didn't think
there was a problem with the conducting. I honestly didn't. I've heard that,
(49:06):
you know, I heard under NelsonNelson's conduct stuff. I've heard uh
versions of tone, you know,different versions of Tonoiser. I don't think
he had. I don't think itwas too slow. I don't if if
it was too slow, he wasgoing he was going by like the very
first time he saw ton Moiser,he had seen the Paris version, which
is longer. Uh and it's ait's a it's a mite slower. So
(49:30):
he might have been thinking of thatinstead of the Vienna version, which is
what was what what was sung inZeltzberg. But uh, yeah, I
know I thought I had no problemwith it. It was wonderful. Um
yeah, yo yos was amazing init. Uh that was it? A
friend of mine set that that thata couple of months that he spent h
not singing, you know like FibruarianMarch did him a real good So,
(49:54):
I mean he's got his voice back, seriously, there there was no problem
with it. Um. So yeah, he so that that that rest was
what he needed to get his diethis voice back stronger than ever. Um.
But yeah, overall, um,it's really good. I will put
the I will put the YouTube videoup on up under our Facebook page so
(50:15):
you guys can listen to it.Um. Uh yeah and and the the
um the metso who sings Venus isEmma bell Um. She's British. It
was supposed to be Elena Garuncha singingin Venus, but she had to drop
out she was ill so um soEmma bell was a last minute replacement.
So but she did really well,she did um. I may also I
(50:37):
think I'll also put up a thelength that I used when I was when
I was listening to it, Ifollowed along I had. There's a libretto
that's in German and English, soyou can follow along um to the you
know, as they're singing it umsince there's no um, since there's no
um, you know, like subtitles. This is audio. But I'll put
(50:57):
the link for the for the librettoin there too. But that is my
that's my review of Ton Hoyser inSalzburg. I thought I thought he did.
I thought it was wonderful. Honestly, um uh, I'm glad I
didn't. I'm glad I didn't uhuh decide to go there instead of to
Munich because that that was like ifif my Munich plans had fallen through,
(51:21):
that was gonna be my backup.And the tickets were like four hundred bucks
apiece. It's like no, no, no, no, no no,
but yeah, that was that's that'suh so I'm glad I did not do
that, but but it was sowonderful. It sounded it sounded gorgeous and
you know, you might agree withme when you hear it. Um and
(51:43):
of course, um if you knowwhen you when you hear the prelude,
when you hear the overture, youwill you will recognize some of the uh,
