Faust (Paris, 2021): Reactions, Part I
ENFIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d actually like this study, please
ohohoho so he already HAS “les jeunes maitresses” (or at least “une jeune maitresse”)
okay not quite I guess
oh cool they’re having Bernheim at the side singing and doing a sort of “voiceover” of this guy’s internal thoughts
Area Dude Is Now Suicidal
this guy is a great facial actor and Bernheim sounds GLORIOUS
you’re going to regret that choice
but hey, you DO get this guy as your Satan so you get an amazing voice in a very handsome package
“oh shit I didn’t think this would work”
he just showed up with an entourage of masked demons after you called on Satan I’d take this a little more seriously if I were you
me when someone tries to take my books
I relate
annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd there it is
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I think that’s a bit more than “presque rien”
yeah I think that’s a pretty good description of Ermonela Jaho
back to the future
“hey, uh, where do I put this music stand? hello? hell-oooooooooooooo???”
this BOPS
ooh they’re gonna FLY!!!
and off they go!!!
whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
PARIS BY NIGHT IN BIRD’S-EYE VIEW!!!!!! (also this chorus bops)
HIM also we have ANOTHER opera production sponsored by Adidas ( @monotonous-minutia, I told you no spoilers but I HAVE to tag you because of this)
anyone up for basketball?
aww Siébel bought flowers :)
MY PRECIOUS CHILD
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ah yes, le vin du...*checks notes* Red Bull
well this is awkward
oh you don’t have to worry about that
Faust you are not a hype man
BOP BOP BOP
“Et Satan conduit le [basket-]bal[l]!”
aww Siébel put his hand in his pocket and hid the bouquet with his other hand when Méphistophélès cursed him
that’s because that’s not wine
wait what’d he just DO to that girl
this line always makes me ironically chuckle
tag-teaming demons
well that actually worked (which is a bit of a surprise for more recent productions)
also I have to applaud the chorus for still sounding incredible even through the masks in a notoriously acoustically difficult hall
oh wow the projection integration is EXCELLENT
yes, through the medal she just gave Valentin, which is going to cause some problems (see my recent post on that subject)
party it up! also I love this tempo
actual footage of me bopping out to some good opera
oh child
THERE SHE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS
sparks fly (and tenor is horny)
oh that’s not true
but good on you for turning him down
he nailed the “JE T’AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME”
Area Trouser Role Is Not Having It
Area Tenor Finds His Natural Habitat (the center of attention)
wait huh?????
now I’m even more confused
this BOPS (also it’s SO WEIRD not hearing any wild applause)
