A gritty modern thriller about a woman trying desperately – perhaps a bit unhinged by worry – to get her teenage daughter out of a cult whose leader killed her husband

And then you realize partway through that it’s a retelling of The Magic Flute

DAMON'S 2024 AGENDA

Africa Express

Damon will tour South America with Africa Express for the first time. More dates to be announced (?)

February 16-18, Bahidorá, Cuernavaca, Mexico (Tickets on sale)

February 23, Parque Ibirapuera, São Paulo, Brazil (Tickets on sale)

The Curse (The Magic Flute Part II)

The Curse (provisional title) is Damon's new opera commissioned by Jean-Luc Choplin to compose the suite to Mozart's The Magic Flute, imagined by Goethe after the great composer's death and never before produced. We still don't know is he's doing just the music or singing as well. He said: "I'll try to mix Goethe with club music. That's my aim."

It will open in October at LIDO 2 Paris. Tickets on sale in January.

Gorillaz

After finishing with the writing for the opera he will travel with Jamie to India to record a new Gorillaz album. (Damon was in LA before Blur' South America tour doing some 'late-night music session' with Honey Dijon, A$AP Rocky and EarthGang. He also recorded something in Argentina. Could be for Gorillaz or could be not)

He talked a bit about Gorillaz' new direction: "It will be a paradigm shift, it will be very different. It will be an entirely different approach to everything — to the band, to everything. We’re at a point where we’re going to change. Why? Because it was always just Jamie and I. Although it is a very big thing now, it is still, in essence, just two people. If we decided between us that we want to do something unrecognisable then we will. You need that for it to stay alive, really.” - Damon.

And.... regarding Blur:

With the last show in Argentina the band went on an indefinite hiatus. There are no plans for a new tour or album. Some festivals tried to book them and received the response: "Blur will not tour in 2024". On the other hand, the Wembley shows were professionally filmed. Before that some fans were interviewed by a filming crew at the warm-up gigs, so there is a documentary being worked on. We still don't know how or when it will be released. And that's all (for now at least).

The Top 40 Most Popular Operas, Part 1 (#1 through #10)

A quick guide for newcomers to the genre, with links to online video recordings of complete performances with English subtitles.

Mozart's Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)

The most frequently performed opera worldwide: Mozart's fascinating, philosophical fairy tale opera, which appeals to both children and adults.

San Francisco Opera, 2010 (Piotr Beczala, Dina Kuznetsoca, Christopher Maltman, Erika Miklosa, Georg Zeppenfeld; conducted by Donald Runnicles)

Verdi's La Traviata

Tragic romance with social commentary, based on Alexandre Dumas fils' novel The Lady of the Camellias, which was also the basis for the classic 1936 Greta Garbo film Camille.

Los Angeles Opera, 2006 (Renée Fleming, Rolando Villazon, Renato Bruson; conducted by James Conlon)

Bizet's Carmen

The fiery tragedy of a seductive, free-spirited Spanish Romani woman and her loves, with some of opera's most iconic music.

Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, 2006 (Anna Caterina Antonacci, Jonas Kaufmann, Ildebrando d'Arcancelo, Norah Ansellem; conducted by Antonio Pappano)

Puccini's La Bohéme

Relatable slice-of-life romance that blends comedy and tragedy. The inspiration for the popular musical RENT.

Studio film, 1965 (Mirella Freni, Gianni Raimondi, Rolando Panerai, Adriana Martino; conducted by Herbert von Karajan)

Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)

The best loved of Mozart's Italian operas, a great comedy of class conflict and sexual intrigue.

Glyndebourne Festival Opera, 1994 (Gerald Finley, Alison Hagley, Renée Fleming, Andreas Schmidt, Marie-Ange Todorovich; conducted by Bernard Haitink)

Puccini's Tosca

Political intrigue, lust, and bloodshed amid the splendor of Rome – some call it a "shabby little shocker," others call it thrilling.

Vienna State Opera, 2019 (Sondra Radvanovsky, Piotr Beczala, Thomas Hampson; conducted by Marco Armiliato)

Mozart's Don Giovanni

Arguably the greatest retelling of the legend of Don Juan, with comedy, drama, and Mozart's glorious music.

Salzburg Festival, 1954 (Cesare Siepi, Otto Edelmann, Elisabeth Grümmer, Anton Dermota, Lisa della Casa, Erna Berger, Walter Berry Deszö Ernster; conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler)

Puccini's Madama Butterfly

Puccini's iconic "Japanese tragedy." Controversial from a racial standpoint, but a tearjerker nonetheless, and the inspiration for the musical Miss Saigon.

Feature film, 1995 (Ying Huang, Richard Troxell, Ning Liang, Richard Cowan; conducted by James Conlon)

Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville)

The lighter and more madcap prequel to The Marriage of Figaro, known as the quintessential comic opera.

Vienna State Opera, 2019 (Rafael Fingerlos, Juan Diego Flórez, Margarita Gritskova, Paolo Rumetz, Sorin Coliban; conducted by Evelino Pidò)

Verdi's Rigoletto

A richly melodic tragedy of a hunchbacked jester, his daughter, a lecherous duke, and a self-fulfilling curse.

Studio film, 1982 (Ingvar Wixell, Luciano Pavarotti, Edita Gruberova; conducted by Riccardo Chailly)

Sarastro concept sketch, sketched in ballpoint pen, orange sharpie, white and black crayons.

In my interpretation of Mozart's fantasy opera I wanted both the Night and the Day to be in the wrong, with our protagonists Tamino and Pamina providing balance between the two extremes. Sarastro's kingdom is a place of emotionless logic, where they literally siphon emotions out of their bodies through installed gold and brass tubes.

At the head of all this is Sarastro. I wanted to make him the epitome of 18th century Enlightenment, hence his wig, his banyan, and the machinery all being 1700s in design. As I was adding rolls in his wig, they began to look more and more like silk worms, which I embraced. I like it for some reason. Sarastro also has a pope-like look I have yet to draw. This is his in-his-study look.

Sarastro's kingdom and the man himself are stagnant, drooping with age and stillness. You can't see it here but his wig will be excessively powdered, with the powder falling on his shoulders like dust in an attic. His ideas are old and no longer applicable. These kingdoms are both dying in their extremes, but they won't acknowledge it. The little statues holding up the sun on his desk corners are celebrations of the "ideal" male body (ancient Greek and with a white lens) but purposefully lacking genitalia: that demonized natural part of the naked form that promotes too much pleasure. The metal dangling from the front of his wig are clock weights.

He is also available as a small print in my shop!
