Mozart did not write a grand aria for Giovanni. (...) Giovanniโs psychological development must be therefore inferred solely from his interactions with the other characters, in ensembles and recitatives.

This drawing made me realise that actually I love the comfort zone and I would like to go back into it. Also that I must draw more tigers.
Super quick Narcissus and Goldmund fanart but I based them on the German actors ๐

CHE INFERNO, CHE TERROR!
I fell in love with this scene when I first saw it on Amadeus. I was a kid, almost in my teens but barely. I was just starting out with classical music lessons -- I had wished to start earlier but my parents wouldn't allow me yet, until they were sure that I was -- and I was obsessed with all things classical music, I tell you. I went so far as to go to the local library -- something which up until that point I never really quite bothered to -- to look up books on the topic. One in particularly introduced me to the movie, Amadeus. At the time, I was also crazy about Mozart's Rondo Alla Turca (among many things) so, I begged my parents to get the movie for me, and they did -- bless them.
Needless to say I loved it a lot (still do), and I would put the film on repeat many times. And the Commandatore scene was what captivated and haunted me the most. It had led me down a rabbit hole of sorts, i.e. YouTube clips of live performance of that particular scene to compare which I liked for what reasons.
(Samuel Ramey and Kurt Moll version still tops for me, but I have recently found a recording with Bo Skovhus that I like a lot -- I like the way Don Giovanni's last scream is done)
And this was how I later learned to find other operas (clips or full) to compare and enjoy and experience. I haven't been doing much of that of late. Time for some revisiting.
which word do you prefer?
astronaut
cosmonaut
Both are very neat, but which one is the โจcoolestโจ?

one of my favorite arthurian moments of all time is when gawain accidentally murders a lady and camelot just hands this problem over to guinevere whoโs like ok you have to promise to be a feminist now for the rest of your life. and gawain says okay <3 and everything is fine afterwards
i mean gawain is still a murderer afterwards but he does avoid killing women

it's almost easter so you know what that means: time to celebrate leporello being trapped in the fucking Horrors for his birthday!
in continuing my attempts to get everyone to see 1987 la scala don giovanni, i will be streaming it TWICE on easter. come join me and let's enjoy leporello's terrible horrible no good very bad eternal day together ๐๐๐
shout out to potc character Bootstrap Bill Turner because if he did not have the galaxy brain idea to hide a cursed piece of gold from a bloodthirsty, vicious, immortal pirate crew by sending it to his defenseless child, non of the movies would have taken place the way they did.
Literally father of all time no further notes no further comments
