(07:09):
be a short this might be ashort episode, but we're gonna talk about
um. But we watched the otherit was last week. Yeah, we
watched uh it was it was itwas from eight. This was my second
time watching it and it was soawesome. Yeah. So this, um,
(07:30):
because unusually I found it and screenedit first. Yeah. Yeah,
we actually wait for a day.Yeah. Um. This like we love
our We love the old guys.We love the sea, the one that
came before the contemporaries, you know, like the guys came before our opera
(07:50):
husbands, you know, like Pavaratti, Carreras. Uh, you know occasionally
Domingo for heeling charitable that day.Yeah, but this yea, but this
guy uh uh you might hear herdof them. Oh my god, seriously
Franco Correlli because his voice was amazingand thought the man was beautiful. He
(08:16):
was holy shit. Uh. Iwas like, um, yes please,
yeah, corny brig but this willWe watched our favorite place. Yeah.
What we watched was a is actuallyyeah, we we mentioned before, like
we watched them All in the NightVisitors was, which was actually an opera
for television. Well, this wasan opera adapted. Sorry, every time
(08:39):
that I immediately think about bad.The acoustics were a facto. Without telling
her what made us laugh when thebox so one came up my mom and
it was like, okay, yeah, that sounds like he said, but
that has to be And how Imy old team lead, thought the same
thing. Yeah, Like I didn'teven tell um you know this is what
(09:00):
you need to listen for. Shejust she picked it up right away on
her and like, yep, thathas to be it. Yeah, so
you guys have sat the humer ofgreat schoolers. It sounds like the word
but it has to be it.Yeah. But however, how it was
specifically film for TV, so ithad better acoustics. Yeah. So so
this was and and this was likeseven years later two and I mean there
(09:24):
weren't really any big technological advances andsound for television. Yeah, but this
was also Italian television, so yession, it's European television. Yeah. So
it was from RII, which isthe Italian network over there, and it
was a it was a production ofPuccini's Turn On. So yeah, it's
of course this caught Hand's attention becauseit's one of a favorite office It is
(09:48):
my favorite, like the side thatwhole the score of the opera just it's
one of is my absolute favorite.Hell yeah, there's nothing jarring about it.
It flows so well, it's beautifuleight plus plus have and will watch
again, Okay, And of course, and of course you know, nothing
(10:11):
beats watching watching the Zepharelli version.Yeah, it also nothing. But it's
getting to play your wrong answers only. Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's
like the best game ever seriously interms of in terms of opera, that's
like the best m play its wronganswers only. Um, because you always
answer your mom or these nuts orye. In fact, we actually had
(10:33):
um screen captors just because I loveto swam hard at it. Where is
it? I know the first questionI answered where I answered. The first
question was your mom, Yeah,she gave me to your mom, and
(10:54):
then the second one the wrong answerson the time first answer. Christa's first
answer was your mom, and myfirst answer is to go could be asked,
Yeah. The second answer to minewith lential arts and Christmas was your
boardhole and boardhole in all caps aftereating Taco Boco and then three Christmas answer
was a bottle of cheap vodka inthe freezer that you forgot about, and
(11:15):
mine was both of these nuts.We need to figure out a way to
work work and the romanswers only atsome point yeah, yeah, just because
I positive that that would be.Yeah, it could be, that could
be. That might be. Thatmight be a good a good answer for
(11:35):
the second question, yeah, lord, but um yeah, so this this
production, it was um, itwas the of course and of course,
um you know of course. Um. The score was that that chopped up
(12:00):
from from apart from from the endof for like up until you being yeah,
taking her life and being let offbeing carried off stage. Uh um,
that was me, and that theend was like was Alfano after being
chopped up by Tuscanini. Uh soof course there's that chopped up ending,
(12:22):
which I I wish, I wishthey like, Um, it would be
they would have, they would havesomebody would be brave enough to stage the
actual Alfano ending, like we havethe recording okay that that was made um
with Jonus and Natisandra and uh youknow and uh um Antonio. But I
wish somebody would like stage it orseeing it in concert or something like that,
(12:46):
because that yeah, seriously, um, but yeah, it'd be it's
it. It would be more tobe the true original ending without Tuscanning going
oh my god, I hate thisis stupid. Yeah I did that.
That he it was it was him. He He wanted a Fonno to complete
(13:07):
the to complete the score, anda Finno did and then he was like,
no I don't like us. Okay, well then you should written in
the scores self, I'm asked.But anyway, so we have the we
have the we have the um condensedversion of the end day but uh yeah
it started of course, of coursethe role Khalaf was sung by Frank and
(13:33):
it's just it was just glorious,like like it was. It was like
to see it even like to seeit in black and light on such a
small stage, you know, thestaging like like we're he used to seeing
these where he's seeing on opera stage, right. But it was amazing to
see how they how they did it, you know, on a sound stage
(13:54):
for TV. That was pretty thatwas pretty amazing. Um. Plus and
I did mention this Anna at onepoint said the soprano salis almost like slander
d Vnoski. She does, shedoes, And it was just amazing.
Um, it's just and and ofcourse you know, oh and of course
(14:18):
there's you know, like do youshoot him now? Yeah? Yeah,
it was a good less awful thoughin this version. Yeah, it was
it? What was it? Whatwas it? He said? Now it's
not for now. Look after he'ssaying that's nor ride. They said,
now it's time Berg do you cheathim? And now present boats and hose,
Yeah, boats and loads. That'shere, Take these girls, take
(14:41):
us money, it's leave turned onalone. I was like, you under
estimate age might desire for dead ass. Yeah, oh my god. Um
but yeah, yeah, this isthis was amazing though. And two and
(15:09):
if you've never heard Franco Correlli before, this is a good way too.
This is a good stepping stone intoit because you hear, you hear how
amazing his voice is. And Ino wondered that Jonas considers him one of
his his idols um because Franco Correlli, Oh my god, I voice a
little shit that like his his nestundorma. That is a good good God,
(15:35):
that shit. I mean, thatis amazing. His norma is amazing.
I like, seriously, like thereare I've heard, we both heard
versions of nettun dorma that kind ofyou know, they're like less than less
than desirable, and then there areversions like his. I would rank his
(15:56):
up right there with Papaay. Seriously, absolutely, it's just oh my god,
I just but yeah this yeah.And and the nice thing about and
I love the like like for forbeing nineteen fifty eight, being an Italian
(16:18):
production, they have some good staging. There was some good I've noticed across
the productions kind never changes. No, it doesn't. I think that's a
really cool bit of consistency. Yeah, and it never changed. This is
it's like they have her as thatthat that um, that age, that
(16:40):
that East Asian princess. Um.I don't want to use the word oriental,
but they have these that that ChineseEast Asian princess feel and uh,
it's just yeah yeah. And likeI watched, I watched a version.
I watched the production of it.It was by the finished naper. Yeah,
(17:00):
hurt her head dress even than thatdid not change. They have that
they're trying that they tried to keepsomething in the way of accuracy. Yeah,
that way, yeah, to lookto the accuracyting. They like her.
Her head dress in the fish onewas a borned with chaired blossoms.
(17:22):
Oh now, yeah, because thatwould be gorgeous. Yeah, like me,
oh yeah that was that was thatwas a beautiful one. Um.
And it just yeah, we're yeah. I I loved it. I seriously,
I loved it. It just itwas just amazing to see that and
(17:48):
I couldn't believe it. And andyou know, you see that, you
know that like they um you seethe what was it? Oh? What
was it? You old? Um, don't shoot um. They used to
like the dramas on in the earlydays of tea. I forget what they
(18:08):
called them. Um yeah, it'sright there in my head. They can't
think of the drama. Yeah,the televised dramas like a night. It
was like the it was like theum damn, now I can't think.
Um, but they would have likethey would have like the different like um
plays and stuff like that. Butyeah, like yeah that's it. Yeah
(18:30):
and uh, things like that.They like it. Just it was like
the quality of the RAI production waslike that. It just you know,
it was good. It was goodquality. It really was. Um.
And I'm sure the being it wasItaly and that they were doing an opera
that they took they took the timeto make sure it was quality. Um,
(18:52):
you know because there if there's that'sone thing they jealous the guard the
Italians is there is the quality oftheir opera. Um, what's good reason?
Yes, absolutely, um but yeah, and we gave us wonderful I'm
going to go ahead right now.Well I'm well, I'm at it.
I'm going to go ahead and putthat because we found on YouTube. That's
(19:15):

Um, you might not find theperson you're looking for if you're looking
(28:52):
for somebody specific, but it's it'syou know, you'll find you'll find like
so many different different versions of it. It's amazing. I that's that's the
one thing I love about vintage recordingsof uh, you know, for that
it's great um, it's just butbut yeah, like and I we are,
(29:15):
we're gonna we're gonna go through ourplayoffs and watch these different things.
And uh, I can tell youtoo, like I've like you know,
it's also this of course, youknow, we we've watched our fair share
of like not not like the vintagejust like from the fifties and sixties and
that, but we've watched all thoseold versions of different stuff, like like
(29:37):
that horrible version of of Kesselt youactually did know. I don't even know
what the hell was going on.I don't here we had we had made
more sense, we had subtitles,it still didn't make sense. Yeah,
and that sho never makes sense though, But yeah, if we watched like
(30:03):
if like if I stumble across,like if I stumble across like say,
um, let's say I find likesomething like a like a handle opera and
it's an older one but it hasthe titles. Hey, you know,
I'm watching it and I'll see whatit's like. And I'm like, Okay,
we're gonna watch this. Let's watchthis, and you know, the
quality may not be one hundred percent, but but if we can't like like
(30:26):
what we did, like we didwith u um uh the uh the uh
title like the title credits for BeralDiabla with very eight yep, very very
easy. And of course and ofcourse see the uh the version of Love
and Grin with Peter Hoffman where hewas within White Thin, White Wrecker,
(30:48):
Howard House Hardred. Oh god,that was everywhere. Oh god, oh
my god, that was that hilarious. Ye know, um, but yeah,
(31:11):
that I mean, it'll take youlike you You'll be able to like
do find clips like there there's therethere are clips of like Jonas umdud,
like the the the met for example. They'll put up breast rehearsal clips of
different operas. Um, like you'llbe able to see the dress rehearsal clips
from like Champion and day uh anduh there's there are clips of uh um
(31:36):
and the one that uh um let'scut it up, uh, which is
a new production and I've seen ohbut um yeah. Oh and by the
way, well after we get donetalking about Carrel, I'll tell you what
(31:56):
I watched yesterday, um the thebut yeah, yeah, like finding Franco
CORRALI opens up opens up like aplethora of all that in contents, um
so I would encourage you if youwant to get if you want to get
into opera, especially the older oppositePrecy, the Vintie do oppera singers,
(32:16):
go ahead and do that. YouTubeis the first and the best place to
do that because you'll find a tonof stuff. It's it's just amazing.
Um Um. You'll find like,yeah, like let's say you're looking for
Vanda Tibaldi or Bascoto or Kana,You'll find a ton of that. You'll
(32:37):
find a ton of them on thereum. Pavarai of course is in is
in great supply on there um ashis um. But uh yeah, seriously,
you'll find you'll find you're you're gonnahave no shortage of great clips from
different operas and great clips and differentareas. It's just it's just a man
(33:00):
of looking for them. Um.But all in all, seriously, that
that production of turned out that wesaw last week was spectacular. I mean,
you know, like you think aboutlike when it was put on the
fact it was it was it wasadapt for TV, and yeah, that
(33:21):
was just out of this world asblown away I was. So we'll have
to probably probably our next our nextadventure into that will be Tosca. I
wanted to see that because you know, that's one of my favorite that's one
of my favorite operas. Um.But uh next, but that is so
that is our view of of um. Frankly probably in turn not UM.
(33:44):
I want to briefly touch on whatI watched yesterday because I had been waiting
to see this particular production of DonJibanni. Um. It was. It's
by a Belgian doctor van and hedoes he's and um um movies and um
(34:04):
theater before a direction. And Ithink, I don't I don't know if
this I don't think. No,this wasn't his first four right for right
into opera, and nor is ithis last, because he's doing I think
he's I think his I think he'sdoing the dead Man Walking. He's also
directed. He's also that's also underhis direction, the one that at the
(34:24):
mat uh, the sect seat thenext the coming season is he's directed that
too. Um. But this islike you know, you think about like
the version of Danjia Money we sawbefore. It was very period, it
was very dated, it was veryyou know, like sent and I'm not
(34:45):
look good at he did Yeah hedid yeah and uh and he and and
and how he got Dragged to Hellwas great too. I mean, anyone
getting drag the hell. Yeah.Yeah. But Mario Slow admitted, like
the Mars look made. Yeah so, but this one is very contemporary.
(35:07):
They didn't make they didn't set itlike at a specific point in time,
but it was very like the setdesigners said that he got the he got
to his inspiration from m Yeah,the guy he does the endless nice.
Yeah, the endless Yeah, that'swhere he got the Yeah, you know,
(35:28):
the like the structures and and howit looks like how the the staircases
look endless, stuff like that.Yeah, that's where he got the inspiration
for the set. And yeah,and most of it takes place in Nate,
like except for the like the veryend of it, it takes place
like it's very shadowy. Yeah,the the lighting and setting is very shadowing.
(35:52):
Um, and it is it's contemporaryset. The you have like these
very very sophist It's very I theworld I used to sophisticated looking, like
the characters are dressed in in youknow, the men are a dressed in
Susan Susan ties. There's you know, there's even casual addressing in with the
(36:13):
chorus. Um, the woman addressedin in in very contemporary stylish outfits.
Um and uh, it's just yeah, it's it's very slick looking. I
love it. I loved it.And Peter kay Um, he looks like
a dad. He looks like avery tall dad when he's singing. Okay,
(36:37):
but so it's so it's kind ofhard to so it's kind of hard
to wrap your head round fact.You know, like he's playing his character,
that his that his like stooked over. Okay, so in his younger
years. Yeah, but uh,but it's just his voice, Oh my
(36:59):
god, his very I think hisvoice is very suited for for Mozart Holy
cow. Uh. Of course whoelse was in there? Who was in
it? Um? Ying Fuang wasulna Um? I forget who else was
in there? Uh? And Blisswas donnataio um and Frederico Lombardi. She
was making her, she was makingher Live in hdbut she was on there.
(37:21):
She'd been uh, she'd been inin a in a I forget what
she'd been in before. She said, wasn't her met debut? Was just
her Live and HD debut, butshe she was played in Donanna and uh,
then it was Anna Maria Martinez whoplayed Donna Elvira. Um and uh,
I can't remember the guy who playedLarrello, but Laparolo okay, okay,
the guy who played Larello for somereason, he reminded me of Don
(37:45):
Favro, you know, he did. He for some reason, he just
survived me of John fre like likewho is it? Um, yeah,
he did, like he just hadthis, He just had this like he
was of course Liparralo is done.Jibonnie body Bean and he just reminded me
of like the way he was dressedin that suit. He just kind of
(38:05):
reminded me of of John Ever.It was hilarious. Um, but uh
yeah, it's just the Okay,So any spoiler alert because you probably see
it. You know, by theend of the year, it'll be up
on I don't know if it mightbe up on the on on the uh
met on a band side, metonto me in side maybe early next year.
But um, spoiler alert. Uh, the way they sent Don Giovanni
(38:30):
to Hell, like the commendatory camethe commendatory came in and um and they
projected like they they they projected,uh like tormented souls in hell and it
got and it just like like itwas like they zoomed in on these tormentous
souls as the as it was likegetting close to and closer and so so
(38:52):
it just got like to they zoomedin really really good on these torments souls
and then um, all of asudden, you know, like you couldn't
see Peter Pey on on stage.You could see that, you could see
Lapparrello. He was he was towering, but you couldn't see Peter Repey because
he had disappeared. But bye byebye bye bye. Um yeah he but
(39:17):
uh yeah, it was it wasthat was amazing to see that that that
I like, I will admit Donavannifor me, like in spots it is
boring, but it but the butthat could of cut my attention the way
(39:38):
the el with it, with thestaging everything, it kind of hit my
attention and uh it just yeah,it did it and and um and um
it was nice to see like Lapparrellowas not seen as comic relief in fact
(39:59):
Eve of Hope, but he saidthat um like he went he based his
staging on these on the Um sandaryUm title of the h of Um Don
Giovanni, which is the criminal punished. So if he made him out to
be a sexual predator, like likea seriously, yeah, he he portrayed
(40:22):
him, you know, you likelike in the version he saw it was
more like a comic you know,or comical hahaha. But this one he
was like a letterous piece of shitand he like he was like Peter Marte
portray him. It was a realletters piece of shit and in in everything
he did, you know, ledup to led up to him being needed
(40:42):
to hell. And yeah, sothat I mean that was seriously if you
get to see that, um lateron like it orf I was on great
performances at some point that that's gonnabe a good one to see. Um
yeah, because it's it's it's notlike what you're used to seeing when it
comes to most dark. That's that'sone of the nice things. It worked
(41:07):
for me for me to the musiceverything, that kind of death staging did
work. Like you could put youcould put that music and that lobreto to
that staging and it worked perfectly.Um So yeah, so kudos to for
that kind of staging that worked perfectly. Um So there's my review of the

(07:09):
be a short this might be ashort episode, but we're gonna talk about
um. But we watched the otherit was last week. Yeah, we
watched uh it was it was itwas from eight. This was my second
time watching it and it was soawesome. Yeah. So this, um,
(07:30):
because unusually I found it and screenedit first. Yeah. Yeah,
we actually wait for a day.Yeah. Um. This like we love
our We love the old guys.We love the sea, the one that
came before the contemporaries, you know, like the guys came before our opera
(07:50):
husbands, you know, like Pavaratti, Carreras. Uh, you know occasionally
Domingo for heeling charitable that day.Yeah, but this yea, but this
guy uh uh you might hear herdof them. Oh my god, seriously
Franco Correlli because his voice was amazingand thought the man was beautiful. He
(08:16):
was holy shit. Uh. Iwas like, um, yes please,
yeah, corny brig but this willWe watched our favorite place. Yeah.
What we watched was a is actuallyyeah, we we mentioned before, like
we watched them All in the NightVisitors was, which was actually an opera
for television. Well, this wasan opera adapted. Sorry, every time
(08:39):
that I immediately think about bad.The acoustics were a facto. Without telling
her what made us laugh when thebox so one came up my mom and
it was like, okay, yeah, that sounds like he said, but
that has to be And how Imy old team lead, thought the same
thing. Yeah, Like I didn'teven tell um you know this is what
(09:00):
you need to listen for. Shejust she picked it up right away on
her and like, yep, thathas to be it. Yeah, so
you guys have sat the humer ofgreat schoolers. It sounds like the word
but it has to be it.Yeah. But however, how it was
specifically film for TV, so ithad better acoustics. Yeah. So so
this was and and this was likeseven years later two and I mean there
(09:24):
weren't really any big technological advances andsound for television. Yeah, but this
was also Italian television, so yession, it's European television. Yeah. So
it was from RII, which isthe Italian network over there, and it
was a it was a production ofPuccini's Turn On. So yeah, it's
of course this caught Hand's attention becauseit's one of a favorite office It is
(09:48):
my favorite, like the side thatwhole the score of the opera just it's
one of is my absolute favorite.Hell yeah, there's nothing jarring about it.
It flows so well, it's beautifuleight plus plus have and will watch
again, Okay, And of course, and of course you know, nothing
(10:11):
beats watching watching the Zepharelli version.Yeah, it also nothing. But it's
getting to play your wrong answers only. Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's
like the best game ever seriously interms of in terms of opera, that's
like the best m play its wronganswers only. Um, because you always
answer your mom or these nuts orye. In fact, we actually had
(10:33):
um screen captors just because I loveto swam hard at it. Where is
it? I know the first questionI answered where I answered. The first
question was your mom, Yeah,she gave me to your mom, and
(10:54):
then the second one the wrong answerson the time first answer. Christa's first
answer was your mom, and myfirst answer is to go could be asked,
Yeah. The second answer to minewith lential arts and Christmas was your
boardhole and boardhole in all caps aftereating Taco Boco and then three Christmas answer
was a bottle of cheap vodka inthe freezer that you forgot about, and
(11:15):
mine was both of these nuts.We need to figure out a way to
work work and the romanswers only atsome point yeah, yeah, just because
I positive that that would be.Yeah, it could be, that could
be. That might be. Thatmight be a good a good answer for
(11:35):
the second question, yeah, lord, but um yeah, so this this
production, it was um, itwas the of course and of course,
um you know of course. Um. The score was that that chopped up
(12:00):
from from apart from from the endof for like up until you being yeah,
taking her life and being let offbeing carried off stage. Uh um,
that was me, and that theend was like was Alfano after being
chopped up by Tuscanini. Uh soof course there's that chopped up ending,
(12:22):
which I I wish, I wishthey like, Um, it would be
they would have, they would havesomebody would be brave enough to stage the
actual Alfano ending, like we havethe recording okay that that was made um
with Jonus and Natisandra and uh youknow and uh um Antonio. But I
wish somebody would like stage it orseeing it in concert or something like that,
(12:46):
because that yeah, seriously, um, but yeah, it'd be it's
it. It would be more tobe the true original ending without Tuscanning going
oh my god, I hate thisis stupid. Yeah I did that.
That he it was it was him. He He wanted a Fonno to complete
(13:07):
the to complete the score, anda Finno did and then he was like,
no I don't like us. Okay, well then you should written in
the scores self, I'm asked.But anyway, so we have the we
have the we have the um condensedversion of the end day but uh yeah
it started of course, of coursethe role Khalaf was sung by Frank and
(13:33):
it's just it was just glorious,like like it was. It was like
to see it even like to seeit in black and light on such a
small stage, you know, thestaging like like we're he used to seeing
these where he's seeing on opera stage, right. But it was amazing to
see how they how they did it, you know, on a sound stage
(13:54):
for TV. That was pretty thatwas pretty amazing. Um. Plus and
I did mention this Anna at onepoint said the soprano salis almost like slander
d Vnoski. She does, shedoes, And it was just amazing.
Um, it's just and and ofcourse you know, oh and of course
(14:18):
there's you know, like do youshoot him now? Yeah? Yeah,
it was a good less awful thoughin this version. Yeah, it was
it? What was it? Whatwas it? He said? Now it's
not for now. Look after he'ssaying that's nor ride. They said,
now it's time Berg do you cheathim? And now present boats and hose,
Yeah, boats and loads. That'shere, Take these girls, take
(14:41):
us money, it's leave turned onalone. I was like, you under
estimate age might desire for dead ass. Yeah, oh my god. Um
but yeah, yeah, this isthis was amazing though. And two and
(15:09):
if you've never heard Franco Correlli before, this is a good way too.
This is a good stepping stone intoit because you hear, you hear how
amazing his voice is. And Ino wondered that Jonas considers him one of
his his idols um because Franco Correlli, Oh my god, I voice a
little shit that like his his nestundorma. That is a good good God,
(15:35):
that shit. I mean, thatis amazing. His norma is amazing.
I like, seriously, like thereare I've heard, we both heard
versions of nettun dorma that kind ofyou know, they're like less than less
than desirable, and then there areversions like his. I would rank his
(15:56):
up right there with Papaay. Seriously, absolutely, it's just oh my god,
I just but yeah this yeah.And and the nice thing about and
I love the like like for forbeing nineteen fifty eight, being an Italian
(16:18):
production, they have some good staging. There was some good I've noticed across
the productions kind never changes. No, it doesn't. I think that's a
really cool bit of consistency. Yeah, and it never changed. This is
it's like they have her as thatthat that um, that age, that
(16:40):
that East Asian princess. Um.I don't want to use the word oriental,
but they have these that that ChineseEast Asian princess feel and uh,
it's just yeah yeah. And likeI watched, I watched a version.
I watched the production of it.It was by the finished naper. Yeah,
(17:00):
hurt her head dress even than thatdid not change. They have that
they're trying that they tried to keepsomething in the way of accuracy. Yeah,
that way, yeah, to lookto the accuracyting. They like her.
Her head dress in the fish onewas a borned with chaired blossoms.
(17:22):
Oh now, yeah, because thatwould be gorgeous. Yeah, like me,
oh yeah that was that was thatwas a beautiful one. Um.
And it just yeah, we're yeah. I I loved it. I seriously,
I loved it. It just itwas just amazing to see that and
(17:48):
I couldn't believe it. And andyou know, you see that, you
know that like they um you seethe what was it? Oh? What
was it? You old? Um, don't shoot um. They used to
like the dramas on in the earlydays of tea. I forget what they
(18:08):
called them. Um yeah, it'sright there in my head. They can't
think of the drama. Yeah,the televised dramas like a night. It
was like the it was like theum damn, now I can't think.
Um, but they would have likethey would have like the different like um
plays and stuff like that. Butyeah, like yeah that's it. Yeah
(18:30):
and uh, things like that.They like it. Just it was like
the quality of the RAI production waslike that. It just you know,
it was good. It was goodquality. It really was. Um.
And I'm sure the being it wasItaly and that they were doing an opera
that they took they took the timeto make sure it was quality. Um,

could tell this was like two threethis like that. It was like two
three months after he had gotten overthat for about of COVID And of course
you could tell he had not beento the he had not gotten a haircut
in a while, and because everythingwas closed. Um but uh he um.

he was he could he knew,yeah because like uh, he had said,
he had said, uh, likeeven early on it was what is

(28:07):
um, it was awkward not performinga people because he didn't know, like
he couldn't like he would reques offthe audience, you know, but he
couldn't do that if there's no audience. It was kind of awkward. But
he's got his audience back, thankfully, and um, he's all. He's
(28:27):
much happy. He's so happy.But um, yeah, I seriously that
but like you go down, likeyou can get down like an absolute ratible,
Like yeah, seriously, Like youpick a pick a piece that you
want to hear somebody's saying, andyou'll find like so many people saying it.
Um, you might not find theperson you're looking for if you're looking
(28:52):
for somebody specific, but it's it'syou know, you'll find you'll find like
so many different different versions of it. It's amazing. I that's that's the
one thing I love about vintage recordingsof uh, you know, for that
it's great um, it's just butbut yeah, like and I we are,
(29:15):
we're gonna we're gonna go through ourplayoffs and watch these different things.
And uh, I can tell youtoo, like I've like you know,
it's also this of course, youknow, we we've watched our fair share
of like not not like the vintagejust like from the fifties and sixties and
that, but we've watched all thoseold versions of different stuff, like like
(29:37):
that horrible version of of Kesselt youactually did know. I don't even know
what the hell was going on.I don't here we had we had made
more sense, we had subtitles,it still didn't make sense. Yeah,
and that sho never makes sense though, But yeah, if we watched like
(30:03):
if like if I stumble across,like if I stumble across like say,
um, let's say I find likesomething like a like a handle opera and
it's an older one but it hasthe titles. Hey, you know,
I'm watching it and I'll see whatit's like. And I'm like, Okay,
we're gonna watch this. Let's watchthis, and you know, the
quality may not be one hundred percent, but but if we can't like like
(30:26):
what we did, like we didwith u um uh the uh the uh
title like the title credits for BeralDiabla with very eight yep, very very
easy. And of course and ofcourse see the uh the version of Love
and Grin with Peter Hoffman where hewas within White Thin, White Wrecker,
(30:48):
Howard House Hardred. Oh god,that was everywhere. Oh god, oh
my god, that was that hilarious. Ye know, um, but yeah,
(31:11):
that I mean, it'll take youlike you You'll be able to like
do find clips like there there's therethere are clips of like Jonas umdud,
like the the the met for example. They'll put up breast rehearsal clips of
different operas. Um, like you'llbe able to see the dress rehearsal clips
from like Champion and day uh anduh there's there are clips of uh um
(31:36):
and the one that uh um let'scut it up, uh, which is
a new production and I've seen ohbut um yeah. Oh and by the
way, well after we get donetalking about Carrel, I'll tell you what
(31:56):
I watched yesterday, um the thebut yeah, yeah, like finding Franco
CORRALI opens up opens up like aplethora of all that in contents, um
so I would encourage you if youwant to get if you want to get
into opera, especially the older oppositePrecy, the Vintie do oppera singers,
(32:16):
go ahead and do that. YouTubeis the first and the best place to
do that because you'll find a tonof stuff. It's it's just amazing.
Um Um. You'll find like,yeah, like let's say you're looking for
Vanda Tibaldi or Bascoto or Kana,You'll find a ton of that. You'll
(32:37):
find a ton of them on thereum. Pavarai of course is in is
in great supply on there um ashis um. But uh yeah, seriously,
you'll find you'll find you're you're gonnahave no shortage of great clips from
different operas and great clips and differentareas. It's just it's just a man
(33:00):
of looking for them. Um.But all in all, seriously, that
that production of turned out that wesaw last week was spectacular. I mean,
you know, like you think aboutlike when it was put on the
fact it was it was it wasadapt for TV, and yeah, that
(33:21):
was just out of this world asblown away I was. So we'll have
to probably probably our next our nextadventure into that will be Tosca. I
wanted to see that because you know, that's one of my favorite that's one
of my favorite operas. Um.But uh next, but that is so
that is our view of of um. Frankly probably in turn not UM.
(33:44):
I want to briefly touch on whatI watched yesterday because I had been waiting
to see this particular production of DonJibanni. Um. It was. It's
by a Belgian doctor van and hedoes he's and um um movies and um
(34:04):
theater before a direction. And Ithink, I don't I don't know if
this I don't think. No,this wasn't his first four right for right
into opera, and nor is ithis last, because he's doing I think
he's I think his I think he'sdoing the dead Man Walking. He's also
directed. He's also that's also underhis direction, the one that at the
(34:24):
mat uh, the sect seat thenext the coming season is he's directed that
too. Um. But this islike you know, you think about like
the version of Danjia Money we sawbefore. It was very period, it
was very dated, it was veryyou know, like sent and I'm not
(34:45):
look good at he did Yeah hedid yeah and uh and he and and
and how he got Dragged to Hellwas great too. I mean, anyone
getting drag the hell. Yeah.Yeah. But Mario Slow admitted, like
the Mars look made. Yeah so, but this one is very contemporary.
(35:07):
They didn't make they didn't set itlike at a specific point in time,
but it was very like the setdesigners said that he got the he got
to his inspiration from m Yeah,the guy he does the endless nice.
Yeah, the endless Yeah, that'swhere he got the Yeah, you know,
(35:28):
the like the structures and and howit looks like how the the staircases
look endless, stuff like that.Yeah, that's where he got the inspiration
for the set. And yeah,and most of it takes place in Nate,
like except for the like the veryend of it, it takes place
like it's very shadowy. Yeah,the the lighting and setting is very shadowing.
(35:52):
Um, and it is it's contemporaryset. The you have like these
very very sophist It's very I theworld I used to sophisticated looking, like
the characters are dressed in in youknow, the men are a dressed in
Susan Susan ties. There's you know, there's even casual addressing in with the
(36:13):
chorus. Um, the woman addressedin in in very contemporary stylish outfits.
Um and uh, it's just yeah, it's it's very slick looking. I
love it. I loved it.And Peter kay Um, he looks like
a dad. He looks like avery tall dad when he's singing. Okay,
(36:37):
but so it's so it's kind ofhard to so it's kind of hard
to wrap your head round fact.You know, like he's playing his character,
that his that his like stooked over. Okay, so in his younger
years. Yeah, but uh,but it's just his voice, Oh my
(36:59):
god, his very I think hisvoice is very suited for for Mozart Holy
cow. Uh. Of course whoelse was in there? Who was in
it? Um? Ying Fuang wasulna Um? I forget who else was
in there? Uh? And Blisswas donnataio um and Frederico Lombardi. She
was making her, she was makingher Live in hdbut she was on there.
(37:21):
She'd been uh, she'd been inin a in a I forget what
she'd been in before. She said, wasn't her met debut? Was just
her Live and HD debut, butshe she was played in Donanna and uh,
then it was Anna Maria Martinez whoplayed Donna Elvira. Um and uh,
I can't remember the guy who playedLarrello, but Laparolo okay, okay,
the guy who played Larello for somereason, he reminded me of Don
(37:45):
Favro, you know, he did. He for some reason, he just
survived me of John fre like likewho is it? Um, yeah,
he did, like he just hadthis, He just had this like he
was of course Liparralo is done.Jibonnie body Bean and he just reminded me
of like the way he was dressedin that suit. He just kind of
(38:05):
reminded me of of John Ever.It was hilarious. Um, but uh
yeah, it's just the Okay,So any spoiler alert because you probably see
it. You know, by theend of the year, it'll be up
on I don't know if it mightbe up on the on on the uh
met on a band side, metonto me in side maybe early next year.
But um, spoiler alert. Uh, the way they sent Don Giovanni
(38:30):
to Hell, like the commendatory camethe commendatory came in and um and they
projected like they they they projected,uh like tormented souls in hell and it
got and it just like like itwas like they zoomed in on these tormentous
souls as the as it was likegetting close to and closer and so so
(38:52):
it just got like to they zoomedin really really good on these torments souls
and then um, all of asudden, you know, like you couldn't
see Peter Pey on on stage.You could see that, you could see
Lapparrello. He was he was towering, but you couldn't see Peter Repey because
he had disappeared. But bye byebye bye bye. Um yeah he but
(39:17):
uh yeah, it was it wasthat was amazing to see that that that
I like, I will admit Donavannifor me, like in spots it is
boring, but it but the butthat could of cut my attention the way
(39:38):
the el with it, with thestaging everything, it kind of hit my
attention and uh it just yeah,it did it and and um and um
it was nice to see like Lapparrellowas not seen as comic relief in fact
(39:59):
Eve of Hope, but he saidthat um like he went he based his
staging on these on the Um sandaryUm title of the h of Um Don
Giovanni, which is the criminal punished. So if he made him out to
be a sexual predator, like likea seriously, yeah, he he portrayed
(40:22):
him, you know, you likelike in the version he saw it was
more like a comic you know,or comical hahaha. But this one he
was like a letterous piece of shitand he like he was like Peter Marte
portray him. It was a realletters piece of shit and in in everything
he did, you know, ledup to led up to him being needed
(40:42):
to hell. And yeah, sothat I mean that was seriously if you
get to see that, um lateron like it orf I was on great
performances at some point that that's gonnabe a good one to see. Um
yeah, because it's it's it's notlike what you're used to seeing when it
comes to most dark. That's that'sone of the nice things. It worked
(41:07):
for me for me to the musiceverything, that kind of death staging did
work. Like you could put youcould put that music and that lobreto to
that staging and it worked perfectly.Um So yeah, so kudos to for
that kind of staging that worked perfectly. Um So there's my review of the
(41:30):
Mets. Don Jivanni Um along withour review of Turn Yeah yep and uh
so so next you guys, we'regonna watch a this. I stumbled upon
