Leo Delibes, Lakeme - Flower Duet.

Y’all, I haven’t been great at posting any updates about my Opera Kittens, but today two of them figured out how to get onto my bed (it’s lofted and has a steep stairway up to the top) and Chipotle decided he didn’t mind. Lakme (tabby, the runt of the litter) is getting some lickies, while Aida does a sit.

April 14. 1883 the today rare played Opera “Lakmé” from Léo Delibes premiered in Paris.

Here we see a antique postcard from 1900 and a original program from The Metropolitan Opera 1934. Lily Pons was the star at that time for this role.

4 songs on repeat <3

Thank you @elle-est-gabri-elle for tagging me! I picked songs that I feel have some spring vibes:

Léo Delibes, Duo des Fleurs from Lakmé: iconic and overplayed according to some but the harmonies are sooo good;

Claude Debussy, Le Printemps: the first version with the choirs is pure magic. It feels like Bambi soundtrack, but even more ethereal and harmonic.

Florence + the Machine, "Rabbit Heart", because I'm once again caught in a Florence loop after she dropped her new album

Pomme, "Pauline", a sweet French song about an insecure girl who begs her over-successful rival not to steal her boyfriend. Pomme is an incredible yet underrated singer!

Tagging @lizziestudieshistory, @vanilla-academia, @plaidetchocolatchaud and @phoenixhallow to play along if you wish!
