Well, you've read the notes, the notes were an operetta in words, and now it is time for you to post until the operetta cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: FRATERNIZE!
-
BK, that's really too bad about the artwork. Hopefully, it can be restored easily.
-
And was the Kalman that you talked about this one (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000026CPU/)?
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51d1-yA9p8L.jpg)

It's now available on Amazon for as little as $86.00 + shipping! :o
-
That's the one - I got if for fifteen bucks on eBay.

There was one on eBay for about $25 (including tax and shipping)...but not anymore. ;)
-
Topic of the Day: Bernstein's Candide (in all its variations) is one of my favorites. I also love the complete recording of Show Boat that our very own Larry worked on.
-
The music in A Little Night Music is very operetta-ish. ;) It's also a favorite.
-
Off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I slept poorly and to add to today's aggravation, either my visiting nurse or physical therapist is sahowing up between 9:00 and 11:00.
-
BK, the Ohio Light Opera has a connection to the Kalman family and they perform a lot of his early German operettas. I've seen a couple, but too many of them sound alike to me. Give me Offenbach and Johann Strauss for comic opera! The only two Kalman pieces I really like are "Countess Martiza" and "The Duchess of Chicago."
His most famous song is from the "Countess Martiza" Act One Finale. Here's Mario Lanza singing it:

-
As to "Countess Maritza," there's an almost complete one in German that I like. It's quite good, but it cuts the Act One children's number, for some reason.
-
You might prefer this recording of excerpts in English, which contains the children's number.
-
Kitty cleanup is finished. As soon as the litter was clean, Annabelle jumped in to christen it. I'll make the bed now and get some breakfast.

From Yesterday:
I also saw Tony Roberts in PROMISES, PROMISES at the Music Center in Los Angeles.
Also saw him in the revival of ARSENIC AND OLD LACE in New York. My late client, Abe Vigoda, was in it.
-
Also from Yesterday:
Jane:
I don't listen to books or plays on audio either.
I used to have several plays on LP: WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF, DEATH OF A SALESMAN...
I'd listen to them once, then they'd sit on the shelf.
However, back when I had a 45-60 minute drive to-and-from work every day, I did listen to audio books in the car. Got them from the library.
I think that that's a major audience for audio books.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I wonder how The Rain People compares to Coppola's earlier MASTERPIECE Dementia 13.
Other than both benefiting from the same excellent composer. :)
-
T.O.D.
I am not a fan of operetta.
My favorite Coppola film is, of course, THE GODFATHER and its 2 sequels.
I had 3 publicity clients in THE GODFATHER:
Abe Vigoda
Richard Castellano
Julie Gregg

I always feel I've barely scratched the surface of operetta. I've been a Gilbert and Sullivan fan since my teens. I eventually branched out and enjoyed listening occasionally to Die Fledermaus, The Gypsy Baron and The Student Prince. I went crazy over the Jan Peerce & Roberta Peters recording of the latter.
I think my growing love of Broadway musicals supplanted that earlier interest in operetta, even though I was by then a full fledged lover of opera -- so it's funny how that middle realm kind of receded into the background. Fast forward to recent years: The output of one DR Elmore (Eileen, et al.) has drawn me in, and I'm especially interested to dive into Babes in Toyland.
-
Last night I had the first dream in some time that I remember. Encores! was rehearsing Cole Porter's Jubilee, only Rob Berman was not conducting. Some jerk was and he kept rewriting my orchestrations. The only interesting casting was Hayley Mills in the starring role of Queen Margaret.
-
My thoughts on operetta: it's just a more elaborately sung musical. Richard Rodgers wrote a lot of them, especially with Hammerstein, beginning with Dearest Enemy in 1925 and ending with The Sound of Music in 1960. I think Cole Porter's Kiss Me Kate is pure operetta, but Can-Can and Anything Goes are not. I think Alan Jay Lerner is always verging on operetta, while Wright and Forrest, with Song of Norway, Kismet, and Kean revel in it.
One of the biggest Broadway successes during World War II was Rosalinda, a Max Reinhardt-Erich Korngold adaptation of Die Fledermaus. It ran several years and toured. The leading role of Rosalinda was played by Dorothy Sarnoff, who created Lady Thiang in The King & I. It's all related.

I still consider Babes In Toyland Victor Herbert's greatest score, but it was never an operetta but a musical comedy, like one of its successors, The Red Mill. Victor Herbert may have been the father of American operetta, but, like Offenbach in Paris, his work included musical comedy, revue, and operetta.
-
I logged back in, then lost internet for a few minutes. Back now.
I was actually going to ask where you "draw the line" between operetta and musicals, and that is most enlightening. For instance, I'd never given any thought in that respect to something as late as The Sound of Music.
-
I had a musical performance dream last night, too! Was it my first since the big shutdown? I think it was.
There were actually two such dreams -- one before I got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and the other before I got up this morning. The first one was a weird little thing that I can't really describe, even to myself. It had to do with helping someone possibly program a keyboard or record something, and I had one line in it to speak.
The "big" one had me preparing for our opening performance of The Last Five Years, and the woman who directed when I did it nearly fifteen years ago was directing it again. The young actress seemed to be a former workmate from the 1990s. Whatever the theater was, it had just been rebuilt, I think more due to damage, but with updating involved. As I walked in for either a final dress rehearsal or for the opening itself, I found I was in a tux and that the stage was set up as for a concert performance. Oddly, this didn't become one of those panic dreams in which you haven't rehearsed or just don't know what the hell you're doing. Other details escape me, which is probably just as well.

Usually in October I take the time to FRATERNIZE the car.

Hurray for DR LAURA's AC!

-
There is a perfectly modern operetta I love - it's about a lady astronomer......
-
I haven't been out for a few days but I've just been given a heads up that gas prices have continued to shoot up in the past week. The website GasBuddy is reporting an average of $2.05 this morning at the more affordable gas stations around Danbury. They don't report on Costco and BJ's (at least not that I've seen), but they're probably around that -- which is a 40-cent increase from where it held all during the lockdown.

Yes indeed!

Rodgers, like Alan Jay Lerner, had a penchant for operetta: Dearest Enemy, Chee-Chee, Oklahoma!, Carousel, Allegro, South Pacific, The King & I, The Sound of Music. It's a piece like The Most Happy Fella that confuses me, since it bursts with music that makes me want to call it an operetta but I feel it's really an over-abundant musical. Oscar Hammerstein might consider it a "musical play," and that's his code word for operetta.
I always suspected that Bernstein considered Candide a comic operetta because of the demands of the score - musical theatre sopranos never need the ability to sing "Glitter and Be Gay" - and Sondheim realized that A Little Night Music needed a bit of vocal heft, although he shies away from calling Sweeney Todd an opera, which I believe it is.
-
You really lucked out with that repair, DR Laura.
-
I love operettas!!!
Some of my favorites - in no particular order:
HMS PINAFORE
IM WEISSEN ROSSL - The White Horse Inn
BITTER SWEET & MAYTIME - especially as performed by Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy
CANDIDE
KISS ME KATE
THE STUDENT PRINCE

A frightening thought!
-

"The Man in the Moon is a lady . . . "
-
I will await some other lists that I am sure will give me titles I am not thinking of right now.
I have never gotten all the way through THE RAIN PEOPLE......
-
Nap time!
-
LOL DR ELMORE -- twice.....
-
I enjoy most of Mr Coppola's movies.....I'm not sure I have a favorite....
-
Well we now have all 16 episodes in the can - if you'll pardon the expression.
Dustin is working on Post Production.....the second episode went up today. There are three from the first day that don't look or sound as good as the later episodes.....so we'll hope folks stick with us as we improve.....
Nightly at 7 p.m. on the local cable channel - I'm sure I will be recognized if I go into the local emporiums in town.....
-
We taped all 16 in just four production days.....actually 18, since we redid two of the ones from the first day.

Because I know you were biting your nails in suspense! -- The Costco/BJs price today is $1.94.
-
Well I don't know how I forgot the FIRST operetta I ever saw when I was about 5 years old.....it is still one of my favorites. "The Pleasant Peasant" by Lucy Friml and Ethel Romberg.

I know people who listen to books while they walk or clean house.

Good morning.

I know we lucked out with the AC repair!
-
While I was out picking up my daughter from work, my DH finished up the AC transaction. He bought some prepaid contract. It was applied to our total, and it gets us first on the list in case of a breakdown. Also, it gives us a nice discount on replacing the unit, which we are going to do this fall/winter -- when they aren't so busy.
-
Last night when we video-chatted with the son and family, GS was watching Peppa Pig. It was an exciting episode, apparently. The pumpkin that was growing in the greenhouse was too big to get out of the greenhouse.
-
Thus, his first sentence:
-
"Bumkee is duck."
-
(Pumpkin is stuck.)
-
Boy, such exciting grandchild stories.
-
Soon Jane and Ginny will be telling some as well.
-
Great story DR LAURA.
-
It could be important for someone:
Dreamy Neptune has been happily traveling along in intuitive Pisces, the sign it rules, for quite some time. Indulging in daydreams and fantasies have been the norm, but as Neptune takes a reflective turn backward into a retrograde cycle today, you get the chance to relive certain experiences of the past several months that can teach you important lessons for the future.
You might find that it will take some time to adjust to this rather pragmatic retrograde cycle, as you’re released from the illusions you’ve been under and start to see things as they truly are. Putting away your rose-colored glasses and being open to the truth can help facilitate the lessons you’re meant to learn now, as releasing yourself from the fantasy land you’ve been living in can be jarring yet inspirational.
-
DR CHAS SMITH - the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream indicates that you are anxious to get back to theatrical work but one that is in the offing might not be to your liking - and while you enjoy working, certain personalities can make a project unattractive. Follow your first thought in the matter - particularly if one person heavily involved is known to be disorganized. :D

TOD:
I think Rose-Marie is my favorite, though not the two movies, as far as the score is concerned.
A few others I can get lost in:
The New Moon
Eileen
Dearest Enemy
The Merry Widow
Kiss Me, Kate
Naughty Marietta
Kismet
Magdalena
Anything by Gilbert and Sullivan
-
Jeanette MacDonald in anything is fine by me, but I really like her in Love Me Tonight, one Hour With You, The Merry Widow, The Firefly and Naughty Marietta.

I slept poorly and to add to today's aggravation, either my visiting nurse or physical therapist is sahowing up between 9:00 and 11:00.
I was supposed to have my dental appointment last Tuesday at 11:00 am, but I never got the confirmation call. I called them and was told that my dental hygienist wasn't going to be able to come in that day and I'd have to reschedule. Did I want one soon with another hygienist, or the next available appointment with my hygienist? I said I'd like my hygienist. I've been seeing her for years and she's very nice and really good. The next available appointment isn't until August! :o I said okay, but if something opens up sooner, please let me know! I got a call yesterday that an appointment is available Thursday, but at 8:00 am! :P I'm NOT a morning person, but I don't want to wait until August, so I'll get my butt outta bed in time for the 8:00 am time slot.

Years ago, I read this article about operas (not operettas) and musicals and I remember that it said that Sondheim's A Little Night Music "most certainly was an opera." ???

Well, this is cool. A lot of theater groups are streaming their productions on YouTube during these times.
-
Shakespeare's Globe (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwN-jwNNNQN-8sfKG-qg8uA) is streaming their version of A Midsummer Night's Dream (https://youtu.be/_cAwaNRIEF8) until Sunday, June 28th. It's been available since June 15.
-
I just now saw that OperVision (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBTlXPAfOx300RZfWNw8-qg) has just started streaming Benjamin Britten's opera version of A Midsummer Night's Dream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qV-ZiIrZqk), and it'll be available for six months!
-
Then, starting June 25, NationalTheatre (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUDq1XzCY0NIOYVJvEMQjqw) will start streaming their version of A Midsummer Night's Dream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Punzss5sHto) starring Gwendoline Christie from Game of Thrones until July 2! ;D
-

The Oberon in that Globe production is John Light, who plays supervillain Flambeau in the Father Brown mysteries. In September 2002 I saw the last performance of the Globe's season in a production of The Golden Ass, starring Mark Rylance.

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep - didn't get to sleep until five.

Got the final track, so all the tracks are done. And the little mystery project continues to astound me in certain ways.

I'm gonna try a couple of the recommended Kalman operettas - I really was entranced with Duchess of Chicago.

After being closed for three months our library began curbside pickup today.

There is also a large new returns box for all those books people have not been able to return.

"returned items will stay on your account and in quarantine for 72 hours before being checked in."

DR CHAS SMITH - Mr Roger Corman would have probably done all 18 of them in one day.....before lunch.

TCM is showing a lot of MacDonald and Eddy films this month, and I am watching them. I think they are both very good....and Nelson Eddy could be very funny.....as could Jeanette MacDonald.
Although.....I have to say that my favorite JM film is the remake of Smilin' Through that she made with husband Gene Raymond (sugar daddy of Mr. Robert Stack in his early Hollywood days, some say).

Our Governor announced a statewide mask requirement for Washington
-
I am so relieved:
The governor’s office also said there will be times when it’s appropriate to take off a mask, such as sitting at a restaurant at a safe distance from others, or during solo recreation or recreation with household members.
-
"Some people are exempt from the requirement: people who are deaf or hard of hearing, while they’re communicating."
In reality that should make everyone I talk to exempt ;D

I just read that, too. :-\
-
Why the expression? I thought you are already wearing a mask inside of markets and places you can't practice social distancing.
-
Of course if I have to always wear one I will be also wearing the same expression ;)
-
Not that anyone will see if I have a mask on.

Well, this day went quickly, which is what happens when you arise at one.

Why the expression? I thought you are already wearing a mask inside of markets and places you can't practice social distancing.
I think I used that because even though everyone should be using masks now, I don't think that even with the mandate that some people will start using them. Hopefully, they will. We'll see, but I don't know. Hence... :-\
-
And now, I'm leaving work and going home. Tonight will finally be the streaming second act (of three) of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? :D

It had to be delayed two weeks, but no more. I'm sure that act three WILL be next week...hopefully. ;)

Be back later.

It's entirely possible.

Right now, I'm watching an episode of the documentary series Independent Lens called "Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project," about a woman who had multiple VCRs and for 30 years(!) recorded over 70,000 VHS tapes of TV!
-
The Comcast description says that the tapes "are being digitized for future generations."

Hello, George.

Dr. Hunk, my eye doctor, has left his Tacoma practice.
-
He never told me good bye!

Dr. Hunk, my eye doctor, has left his Tacoma practice.
Oh, no! :(

He never told me good bye!
How rude! >:(

Guess notes will be late. Some maintenance thing with our host

Apparently, from all the info I can find on the Internet, he has opened a practice in Mount Vernon.
-
Hmmm, do I want to drive two hours each way, just to keep our romance going?
-
No, probably too pushy.

Still no messages from the director or the theater about our cast departures.
-
So, I responded that I will be there tomorrow night, but I am not happy about it.
-
Good night.
-
Hmmm, do I want to drive two hours each way, just to keep our romance going?
That would be dedication. ;)

No, probably too pushy.
And much too much gas!

So, I responded that I will be there tomorrow night, but I am not happy about it.
Maybe they'll have news that you'd like to hear.

I'm watching Stephen Colbert. John Bolton will be on tonight.
