Month of New Operatic Works #3: Richard Cœur-de-lion (Versailles, 2019): Reactions
surprise, @carlodivarga-s!!! today’s your lucky day!!!
I’m living for a) the aesthetic and b) the ladies
(even though it seems audio and video are ever-so-slightly out of sync)
aww still very cute even after fifty years...we all need some relationship tips from them
(but why no subs for the dialogue? luckily I can understand a good amount of it)
why is everyone in this opera so cute
you can just say you’re gay it’s fine
poor guy just had a letter
(but what is an operatic letter without Drama attached???)
she’s not having all these baseless accusations and we stan
I’m sorry I’m in love with this child
Blondel (not pictured): “so that’s two men dead because of a rabbit”
(yes that is the actual line and what apparently happened before the opera started)
so if you’re not in a bel canto opera and your name is Leonore then it is Opera Law that your significant other is named Florestan
(ironically, this Florestan is a prison governor)
wait, so that French aria from Pikovaya dama IS AN ACTUAL FRENCH ARIA???
wow what a coincidence that I watch both operas for the first time within two days of each other
other Opera Law: if your name is Marguérite (at right), then you are automatically gorgeous and amazing
always great to have a great drinking song
honey, you got a big storm comin’
storm averted; we get dancing instead
and there’s the man himself
poor guy’s been in prison for a full year??? I’m sorry :(
he’s playing their song!!!
heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy stop it
aww he told them he needed to talk to the prison governor and they immediately went and started tidying him up
omg everyone in this opera is too cute
Florestan is now putting on the Bad Cop act
so we have a page...named Urbain...who’s a bass-baritone???
annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd Marguérite is going to join a convent because she thinks she’ll never get Richard back #justsopranothings
she’s got a great entourage
this just makes me so happy
Williams: “but I wanted to fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight not plan a party”
“we promise we weren’t doing anything”
look at the lovebirds being cute in the back
well THAT escalated quickly
this was one of the cutest things I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE
