Last night I watched a 1983 BBC production of Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld, a very uneven performance, but much better than either the French or German versions I've watched this week. The production had an interesting concept: a performance of the opera bouffe for Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie. The emperor, played by my close personal friend Denis Quilley, falls asleep and dreams that he is Jupiter and the members of his court become the gods on Mt Olympus. This set up well all the anachronisms within the piece itself, which was a satire of that court and promiscuity of Napoleon III. Napoleon Buonaparte made an appeara Act IV party in hell..

Besides Quilley, the cast included Honor Blackman as Empress Eugenie/Juno, Lillian Watson (whom I met while recording John McGlinn's Babes in Toyland in 2001), and Christopher Gable as Mercury. The other roles were sung by leading British singers, and the piece was conducted by Alexander Faris, who not only led the 1960s revivals of Offenbach at English National Opera but also conducted in the West End the 1958 production of Candide, which featured Denis Quilley in the title role, and the big hit Robert and Elizabeth.

The producer was George Walker, whose big project was to do for the BBC a complete, very uneven, series of Gilbert & Sullivan operas, which also suffered from bizarre casting - Joel Grey in The Yeoman of the Guard and Vincent Price in Ruddigore among others - and strange concepts.

I've had a random, eclectic week of movie watching. Last night was THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING (x2). The night before was AN AMERICAN IN PARIS. And later last night I watched the first 30 minutes - for my first time ever - of Baz Luhrmann's MOULIN ROUGE.

Whoa.

I hadn't been exposed to his films in some years, and this one's wa-a-ay over the top. Or is it really that much more, uh, [something] than the others? I'll watch the rest soon.

DR JOHN G mentioned The Company yesterday.  I also like that movie a lot.....and especially the dancing.

Neve Campbell has a solo dance she is scheduled to do at an outdoor space....and the weather doesn't cooperate - but she triumphs anyway.

It's highly recommended by the likes of me to anyone with an interest in the subject.

I thought of Russell throughout that 30 minutes. His movies had shape. They breathed. The ones I know and like, at any rate. This, thus far, is an assault. Not a completely unenjoyable one, I did like little bits of it, and I'm interested to see how it pans out. And I wonder how his ROMEO + JULIET and STRICTLY BALLROOM would look to me now. I remember liking BALLROOM but it's been years since I've seen either one.

Baz Luhrman:

I love "Strictly Ballroom".  Probably his very best film!  It still plays beautifully for me.  The actors are all quite wonderful.

I adored his "La Boheme" production with three casts that took a special Tony when it went to Broadway.  I saw it in the Curran Theater in San Francisco.  I saw only one of the casts, but they were grand.

I have the video of his Australian opera production with David Hobson and Cheryl Barker.  It is a favorite.  https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=david+hobson%2c+la+boheme&mid=F8801F2D3A1D38DE2056F8801F2D3A1D38DE2056&FORM=VIRE

I haven't seen his "Romeo & Juliet".  As for "Moulin Rouge", it's extravagant filmmaking, but no one can actually sing well, IMO.  And the songs are a bit preciously selected.  Still, it was a huge hit.

“So maybe when we make this reform, we set it to take effect in the 2030s, when it’s not clear which party is going to benefit,” he said. “But at the end of the day, I think most Americans, of any party, ought to be able to get on board with the idea that one person, one vote, counting equally, is the fairest way to choose our president.”

I came to this conclusion years ago.  Moving to different states I realized it should be by popular vote, not by state.  It took much longer to find others that agreed with me.

That is pretty fast.  One reason I switched to the opthamologist I use is that is also does cataract surgery.  I liked him so much Keith switched.  The nurses at the hospital really like him.  He no longer takes new patients and we are glad we switched a few years ago.

It is 79 degrees here - but with the clouds covering the sun, it is comfortable inside and out.

It is only 71 degrees here.  It seemed much warmer when I was out walking.

I have been on a bit of a roller coaster ride the past month or so after having a lesion on my scalp biopsied by a dermatologist early in July.  Cleveland Clinic reported that it was “potentially indicative of systemic lymphoma,” meaning I could have had cancer somewhere, anywhere.  So I was referred to a Cincinnati oncologist with whom I had an appointment yesterday.

In preparation for yesterday’s appointment, I had a PET scan last week that found a problem ONLY at the site of the original biopsy and “no hyperbolic metastatic disease” anywhere else.  That sounded like good news to us, which the oncologist confirmed yesterday.  He did recommend radiation therapy, so I’ll see another specialist next Thursday, but I seem to have dodged a major bullet.  For that I’m very grateful.

I have a consultation appointment in October for cataract surgery.  They say that if all looks good, surgery can take play two or three weeks later. 

That is pretty fast.  One reason I switched to the opthamologist I use is that is also does cataract surgery.  I liked him so much Keith switched.  The nurses at the hospital really like him.  He no longer takes new patients and we are glad we switched a few years ago.

My opthalmologist was my surgeon, too, which made the whole process even nicer because I'd immediately liked and trusted her from my first appointment. So, going to the surgery center where she practices made it seamless and it was obvious the people there liked her as well.

I also got in just in time, because she went on her leave of absence to drop her third or fourth kid a week after my second surgery followup.

Whoa.

I hadn't been exposed to his films in some years, and this one's wa-a-ay over the top. Or is it really that much more, uh, [something] than the others? I'll watch the rest soon.

I've never seen this, either, but I think I actually bought the DVD at one time. I don't know if I still have it, though.

Not a fan of Baz Luhrmann. Like Ken Russell but without the flair.

I thought of Russell throughout that 30 minutes. His movies had shape. They breathed. The ones I know and like, at any rate. This, thus far, is an assault. Not a completely unenjoyable one, I did like little bits of it, and I'm interested to see how it pans out. And I wonder how his ROMEO + JULIET and STRICTLY BALLROOM would look to me now. I remember liking BALLROOM but it's been years since I've seen either one.

I love Strictly Ballroom.

It is most entertaining with lots of dance routines by the players and lots of funny stuff going on.

I do not understand the scoring system yet....but it seems incidental to the entertainment factor.  TRU Tv seems to be its home on cable....if anyone is interested.

Mostly I have seen the Atlanta Bananas play the Party Animals.

In preparation for yesterday’s appointment, I had a PET scan last week that found a problem ONLY at the site of the original biopsy and “no hyperbolic metastatic disease” anywhere else.  That sounded like good news to us, which the oncologist confirmed yesterday.  He did recommend radiation therapy, so I’ll see another specialist next Thursday, but I seem to have dodged a major bullet.  For that I’m very grateful.


Oh my goodness, Ginny! I am so sorry you've been dealing with thus, sending hugs and prayers.

I am quite relieved it is contained

As the doctor said yesterday, taking the stitch out in the office is super easy.  I love numbing drops.

Very nice!

In that vein, did you ever see this subtitled version someone made of Patti LuPone performing "Buenos Aires" - with the subtitles spelling out what you "hear" instead of the actual lyrics.

Wow!  That's amazing!  But, was it made from stock pieces, or is it all (mostly) made up of specialty pieces?

Had the windows open - helpful but not as helpful as you'd think, given that it's nice and cool outside and still eighty-one degrees in the house.

Ushering for an awards show. I got here at 4 pm. It’s threatening to go until 2 am.

Yikes!! :o I don't think the WCPA would have a single shift for that long.  If they thought it would go that long, they'd split the shifts and probably do something extra special for the people who stayed that late. :-\
