Finally did a painting study that isn't just someone's face! This one took me 4h30min and I did it (almost) all in one layer. For some reason.

The reference photo is from the Opera North production of Albert Herring, under the cut. It's a really good production with a very nice set, highly recommend.

On a scale of Albert Herring to Midsommar, how unhinged was your May Day celebration?

Help Stage Managers of Tumblr!

Hello you beautiful stage managers! I need your help and advice if you please. I’m DSMing my first opera in a few months and I could use any tips and advice you all have. I’m new to opera completely.

Thank you all so so much in advance!

Two pictures of a performance of 'Albert Herring' by Benjamin Britten - with Peter Pears as the poor darling 'May King' Albert, here dressed in white with  flower crown on his hat. I'm currently enjoying this charming, cheerful opera very much - it's highly recommended!

planning on watching and possibly liveblogging the Met's Der fliegende Holländer, but I also want to watch another new-to-me opera tonight, so choice between:

Tchaikovsky's Pikovaya dama (Pique Dame or The Queen of Spades)

or

Verdi's Un giorno di regno (King for a Day)

or

Zemlinsky's Der Zwerg (The Dwarf)

or

Britten's Albert Herring

let me know in the comments!
