RIP to the Duck's mentions but this really has come close to approximating my favorite Twitter meme era (30-50 feral hogs)

PSA they've switched all these back to default again even if you previously adjusted them, just in case you thought the Opera Feed was looking a little empty

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

Hello new people of #operasky! 👋 This is your periodic reminder both that there is an opera feed where you can view a broad swathe of the opera content on this platform, and also that, if you speak more than one language, bsky will only show skeets in English unless you adjust your settings

A good family Christmas features all four main characters to maximize drama.

All opera plot summaries are like "Kunfre, driven to madness by the treachery of Zarnfig, flees her wedding to Bogaro and resolves to throw herself into the sea, before being stopped by an unnamed and irrelevant countertenor" and all ballet plot summaries are like "somewhere, a princess exists"

My two-year-old just said to me: "Daddy, why does everybody want to play even 17th-century music on a big French two-manual harpsichord with a coupler? Can't they just be satisfied with a smaller Italian-style instrument when it suits the repertoire?" Ugh, so true, buddy. The wisdom of youth.

Anyone here able to offer an insight on the possible significance of a descending melodic major/aeolian dominant/mixolydian b6 scale in a particular Händel aria? Google scholar is not kicking up any results I can access #Opera #Musicology #BaroqueMusic

Cursed low-budget Bohéme reimagining: it's literally just Friends

if you're trying to convince someone that opera is not Like That, I advise you not to show them Verdi's I masnadieri, which I am watching for the first time and finding to be one of the most Like That operas I have ever seen

For the third night running, an unmated male mockingbird* is singing outside the bathroom window. He can do car alarms, phones, multiple other birds, trucks backing up, distant sirens, and a couple mechanical noises I can’t place. I simultaneously hate him and would kill anyone who messed with him

A while ago a lovely German man appeared at our church. He came a few times to look around during our Saturday opening hours, before asking if the piano abandoned in the corner worked. I told him it was horrendously out of tune, and the cathedral piano tuner had deemed it not worth sorting out.

The first public opera house, Teatro San Cassiano, opened in Venice in 1637, making opera accessible to the general public and transforming it into a celebrated art form. This democratized music's reach and inspired countless composers. #MusicHistory

After 138 years, a Black composer’s magnum opus finds a stage Morgiane, perhaps the oldest opera by a Black American, finally receives its full public performance, shedding light on the forgotten heyday of opera in New Orleans. apple.news/ANvkaM-G4TfG...
