#Piotr Beczala #'s voice is crazy #he totally brought the house down with his di quella pira #he just kept going not slowing down #I really wanted to like #Artur Rucinski #'s Luna but his voice lacks a bit of the darkness that I would prefer #but he's still capable of course!#his il balen was very smooth #Rachel Willis-Sørensen #was better as Elisabetta in DC #Piotr Beczała #Il Trovatore #Verdi #Opera Diary #opera #BSO

I find myself reflecting on how deeply grateful I am. For the rivers within us flow with ease, fears washed away, cleansed and purified, come to peace with our tears and discover what it is to be alive.

What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon, Mary. I'll take it.
