why the fuck are some of the tempi (particularly in chorus selections) of the de almeida la juive so slow???????

[opera-shitpost]

if I had a nickel for every time an 1830s French grand opéra with a libretto partially by Eugène Scribe and a world premiere cast including (but not limited to) Adolphe Nourrit, Marie-Cornélie Falcon, Julie Dorus-Gras, and Nicolas Levasseur ended with a guy inadvertently killing his own daughter due to him engaging in religious persecution of non-Catholics, I'd have two nickels.

which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

La Juive (Opera Vlaanderen, 2019) reactions, pt. 2

alternatively: dump his ass and leave forever

this is so pretty

she is, isn’t she? Marry her instead and run away together

now Rachel is saying it about Eudoxie it’s official

her eyesssssssss

i...might have cried

okay the divas are pillow fighting

look at them having so much fun why can’t it just be like this

way to ruin the moment, Léopold

honey he doesn’t deserve honor

THANK YOU!

oh dang

well you deserve it

OHOHOHOHO Eléazar knows what’s up (again)

wait what’d he do

that was assembled quickly

i have no idea what they’re doing but they’re timing it to the music and it’s effectively ominous

no she’s not your enemy she’s the one you should marry

I mean

he doesn’t deserve either of you

omg they just washed the colors off their hands that represented their religions and now they’re PLAYING PATTYCAKE

I can’t get enough of these two, seriously they need to just elope

i might have cried again

it should be the other way around

do you realize you’re talking to a chair

oh snap (side note: if this were me, I think my FIRST question would be “Was it you?” but maybe that’s just a me thing)

“oh, you? YOU are suffering? This is the third time I’ve been sentenced to execution THIS WEEK and you’re telling me that YOU are suffering...okay.”

...okay...

would you believe her, though, if she said she had been?

dude, YOU have the power to call this off

this is killing me

when getting revenge on your enemy is more important than saving your kid

wow

La juive (Geneva, 2022): Reactions, Part I

ENFIN!!!!!!!!!!

MARC MINKOWSKI MY BELOVED

okay this looks so cool

omg no don’t attack them

(update: surprisingly and thankfully, they did not)

hey you’re supposed to be in church right now so maybe be in there and mind your own fucking business

“the power of christ compels you! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!!!”

“…i’m jewish, not a vampire”

JOHN OSBORN MY BELOVED

léopold you shady little motherfucker

“the hussites have been defeated—”

“EYYYYYYYYYUP THAT WAS ME BITCHES”

i love when Abstract Organs Are There

time for a Public Service Announcement TM

free alcohol: the fastest way to excite a crowd

omg no don’t attack his shop

OMG NO DON’T ATTACK MY BABY

TELL ‘EM OFF ÉLÉAZAR

hmm. interesting!

rip to his family (unless…)

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW 🥺

can you be friends after such shit has passed between you??? can you even not hate each other???

when an aria turns into a gorg ensemble *chef’s kiss because halévy was a master*

they don’t know it but…

TAKE RACHEL’S NAME OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MOUTH

“oh hi orchestra thanks for helping with my seduction serenading”

spicy times

admittedly this is some very spicy music

léopold more like “i wanna get laid-o-pold”

she’s so adorable i can’t

“uh…yeah. just like you. totally jewish.”

love the church bell addition

love the look

interesting choice!

day drinking a little too hard

this is literally the SECOND time in the past THIRTY minutes you have threatened to MURDER them

and i oop

okay her voice kinda reminds me of Anna Caterina Antonacci’s 😍

halévy went OFF with this absolute banger

EXCELLENT use of film

yeah léopold you have a WIFE and KIDS what is WRONG with you

them against the world 💔

THE LOOK ON HIS FACE LMAOOOOOOOOO

(also: bling)

and the party and the antisemitism go on!

sometimes just EXISTING is an act of indescribable bravery

actual picture of me trying to not burn myself with matches (and usually failing)

léopold: imma yeet the matzoh

rachel: dude what the fuck

GOD TIER SINGING AND ACTING FROM JOHN OSBORN

AWWWWWWWWWW (again)

uh oh…

words cannot describe how much i hate this wig

also: TIME FOR MY FAVORITE TRIO IN THIS OPERA

okay tbh the outfit kinda pops off tho

like the detailing on the bottom of the coat!!!

NOT LÉOPOLD HIDING FROM EUDOXIE IN PLAIN SIGHT PLEAAAAAAASE

you done fucked up boy

the assignment was apparently to do stereotypical diva poses and by GOLLY she understood the assignment

a) the dress pops off

b) WHAT IS THE DANCE THE LADIES ARE DOING IN THE BACKGROUND LMAOOOOOOOOO

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW (again, yes. they are just SO PRECIOUS pls let them be happy)

this is EXQUISITE

still like the Konwitschny staging of this trio better because a) no weird cuts and b) ALL the chaotic energy but this, like the rest of the show so far, is very good!

to be continued later :)
