Ok. Random thought of the day. I seriously need to find a way to watch the Name of the Rose opera as an American who can’t just go to Europe and loves both the Name of the Rose and opera (like through a streaming service or something). I saw the clip of the interrogation scene that the singer who plays Remigio posted online and holy shit holy shit I need to see this whole opera in some capacity. Then again, if you need to see it live in Europe, whatever. This is the punishment I deserve for being American and by extension being complicit in the horrible shit that this country has done and is doing to the rest of the world. Additionally, as a mezzo soprano, tonsure diva Bernardo Gui and Adso are like my delusional dream roles.
