flute boy :) design details below
he is but a little boy. his coat is too big for him
human, but 18th century. complete with silly little wig. no one else is dressed like this he is a fish out of water the whole show
outfit designed after the viceroy butterfly -- extremely similar to a monarch, and often confused as such, though it is smaller and less famous/celebrated
Tumblr media
not pictured obv but this is a contrast to pamina who is luna moth coded. also possibly less human. we'll see when i get around to drawing her eventually
also tamino is deaf To Me....sketch below wasn't good enough for prime time imo but i'll include it here i guess. he signs and reads lips enough to get by. "how can he play the flute if he's deaf" it's the magic flute. are you looking for logic here. just go with it

It's a day for Mozart. It's a day for the entire "Magic Flute" cast recording. I just had the line which sounded to my child self's ears like, "Ah! That is Papageno's tune!" (which is, in essence, what the character says in German anyway) flash across my memory, and just like that, I am ready to listen to the whole album.
Do y'all ever have that? A line or movement of music that plunks itself down at the bar of your mind and says, "No, listening just to that one song is not enough. Drinks for the whole room."

OTD in Music History: Gustav Mahler (1860 – 1911) is born in what is now the Czech Republic. Although during his own life he was mostly celebrated as a master conductor, today Mahler is hailed as of the greatest symphonists ever – a remarkable turnaround, given that his original compositions were mostly ignored for nearly 50 years following his death. Nevertheless, he was never *entirely* forgotten: 20th Century titans including Arnold Schoenberg (1874 - 1951), Dmitri Shostakovich (1906 - 1975), and Benjamin Britten (1913 - 1976) all openly acknowledged their debt to him. PICTURED: An 1897 cabinet photograph of Mahler (featuring a vanity "touch up" paint job to hide his balding -- the 19th Century version of “Photoshop”!), which he signed and inscribed to an admirer. The content and timing of this inscription (“July 1897 in Hamburg . . . on the way to Vienna”) is notable in that it highlights a pivotal crossroads in Mahler’s life. After a lengthy apprenticeship spent conducting at secondary opera houses, Mahler had assumed the position of Chief Conductor at the Hamburg Opera House in 1891. He still did not enjoy absolute artistic control in that position, however, because he remained subordinate to the Director. By July 1897, he was on the cusp of realizing his ultimate dream: Becoming Director of the Vienna Opera House. After undergoing a “pragmatic conversion” from Judaism to Catholicism in February 1897 (Jews were barred from holding the position), he caused a furor in Vienna with highly-praised performances of Wagner's “Lohengrin” and Mozart’s “Die Zauberflote" in May 1897. He then returned to the city once again in late July (shortly after signing this photograph), to present Vienna's first-ever uncut version of Wagner’s “Ring” cycle. When Mahler’s “Ring” proved to be yet another triumph, the Emperor finally appointed him to the Directorship of the Vienna Opera House in October 1897. The decade Mahler spent in that role remains legendary.

Hi and belated happy birthday from Opera Anon! I hope I'm not too late to remind you that a new production of Die Zauberflote is on Great Performances at the Met this month on PBS! It's supposed to air on Sunday, Dec. 17 in the NYC area (channel 13). Also, BBC News Channel has a show called Take Me To The Opera, which just showed an episode called Callas at One Hundred on Sat Dec 16. I think it's on at 2:30-3pm Sunday on BBC News Channel on cable, but it's probably online too.
oh my god, thank you!!!!

This isn't exactly damning because I have since 4 operas in my life (all in the last couple of months) but the version of Die Zauberflote I went to see at the cinema tonight was a little bit meh. Did some really cool stuff with effects conceptually but it wasn't like Mindblowing like the stuff I'd seen before and most of the really clever or impressive bits in both the production design and performances were... Literally in the trailer which made me want to see it in the first place. And the mystical magical forest cult had all the excitement and dress style of like, a particularly stuffy american suburban protestant church. It just wasn't that interesting narratively which can be fine if the production is cool as fuck, but all the really cool stuff was pretty minor and didn't make it for it...
Like the Don Giovanni a few weeks ago was grey but it was stylistic and weird and saying something and was used to convey things about the characters and story. This was just grey because.
I felt kind of bad for the group of teenage girls sat in the same row as me because they seemed to be bored out of their minds and left in the intermission before any of the notably good bits, and if they were just poking their heads in to see what the fuck the deal was like i did a few weeks ago, they were probably put off forever and I probably would have been too.

you got asked top 5 opening scenes, so top 5 final scenes?
took me a while to get back to these!
once again, the order changes depending on the day:
Die Zauberflote, maybe because it was my first opera finale, but also just the sheer joy in the final bit of the chorus and the way my favorite production stages it...ugh, tears
Martha, oder der Markt von Richmond because it's so sweet and happy!!
Cendrillon. MEZZOS IN LOVE also so fun how they break the fourth wall in the final seconds, totally unexpected but also fitting. We knew all along it was a fairy tale. Give the cast some love.
Carmen, as described in the previous ask about death scenes, just the way it shatters. brutal.
Les contes d'Hoffmann, surprising no one. Oeser version obviously.
thanks!

Die Zauberflote, Opera di Roma
Bellissima e originale messa in scena diretta da Damiano Michieletto, questa versione dell'opera Mozartiana vede l'azione collocata in una vecchia scuola. Il percorso iniziatico di Tamino diventa quindi quello di uno scolaro e i vari personaggi si allineano a questo tema con naturalezza. Papageno diventa quindi un bidello, le tre cortigiane delle suore, Sarastro il preside e così via. Il tutto in una scena scarna e impreziosita da una lavanderia lavagna dove appaiono disegni animati che accompagnano l'azione.
Lo spettacolo, originariamente prodotto per il teatro della Fenice nel 2015, rivela ancora tutta la sua originalità e freschezza.
Ottima la conduzione da parte del giovane Maestro Michele Spotti mentre sulle voci un mix di giudizio.
