"average person marries 3 women a year" factoid actually just statistical error. average person marries 0.0125 women per year. Weddings Ludwig, who lives in Pfennig-Halbpfennig & marries 4 women each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Got to see a very fun performance of the play/musical?/light opera "Iolanthe" over the weekend! Got to do some figure sketches while watching too!

... Meaning yes, I was drawing in about 70-80% darkness. Still, think it turned out pretty well.

📣UPDATED SEASON ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

This Fall I will be singing the role of Edith in Pirates of Penzance with Annapolis Opera! This will be my sixth opera with Annapolis and I get the best of both worlds (with solos and chorus!) and I’m literally so stoked. Doesn’t feel real. Feels right for my first role with Annapolis to be Gilbert and Sullivan.

Get your tickets here!

which costume would you rather wear? (1893)

Voting ended onJun 21

requested by: anon

request: 19th century womenswear inspired by naval themes such as ships, sailing, and the seas (either more with a uniform appearance or more costume-y)

commentary from the curator: I ended up combining the two options and going for theatre costumes that take inspiration from uniforms (and also sailing more generally). these are both from a production of HMS Pinafore, and I hope they fit what you were looking for! if not, please feel free to send in another request! ☺️

I WAS TODAY YEARS OLD WHEN I REALIZED THAT PLENTY OF FISH IS CALLED THAT BECAUSE. THERE'S PLENTY OF FISH IN THE SEA. NOT BECAUSE IT HAS TO DO WITH FISH THE ANIMAL OR WITH GOING FISHING.

Oh how unfortunate to be a twenty one year old man who has just discovered he was born in leap year and thus must still fulfill the contract binding him to a pirate apprenticeship until his one and twentieth birthday (nota bene: not his one and twentieth year)…

Happily, many of Broken Hearts' themes and plot devices are also used in Cyrano De Bergerac, and resurface in The Yeomen of the Guard.
