Yesterday, I worked on the ballet for a bit, got caught up in The Secret Garden videos on YouTube and mourned my beloved Rebecca Luker. I met her the first weekend of March, 1986, when she played the Princess in my reconstruction of Jubilee, and it was love at first sight. At a Library of Congress party around 1997 I got terribly drunk and begged her to marry me. She very kindly and sensibly turned me down.

I slept surprisingly solidly on the Ny-Quil liquicapsules or whatever they call them, and a good shot of Robitussin DM. Woke up a couple of times to cough or blow my nose, but thankfully I was able to get right back to sleep. Haven't taken anything yet this morning. I absolutely must be at rehearsal tonight so I'm just taking it very easy.

Zoom is done and waiting on food. Marco's Pizza again, but this time adding sausage to the pepperoni. Here's the interesting thing: I mentioned how the price kept going up and up. Well, for whatever reason, it dropped and dropped all the way to 9.99 for the pepperoni version and 12.00 for the combo I'm getting today. Is that not completely weird.

Last full day here in the South Pacific, where there is nothing like a dame. My dame got us a little 2-hour boat tour, and the guide lightly pressured me to go ahead and swim with sharks and rays, and I’m glad I did because now I can say I did that, and the kids were impressed, and I got a high five from a stingray.
Title: Re: A DAY THEY CALLED ME
Post by: Rodzinski on March 20, 2023, 08:56:22 PM
Then we sat and watched sharks swim around the boat while the guide played ukulele and sang to us. Memorable!

It was Antonio Vivaldi's last opera.
Title: Re: A DAY THEY CALLED ME
Post by: George on March 21, 2023, 12:01:16 AM
It turns out that only Acts II and III survive, but I don't know if this production is only Acts II and III, or if someone wrote an Act I.
Title: Re: A DAY THEY CALLED ME

I haven't watched it, yet, to find out. ::)

I'm going to assume that it's for the recording of the opera, not for amplification of the performance.

Title: Re: A DAY THEY CALLED ME
Post by: George on March 21, 2023, 12:14:25 AM
So, according to this article, the OperaVision video is only acts II and III:

Post by: George on March 21, 2023, 12:17:14 AM
But according to this article:

https://www.boosey.com/cr/music/Antonio-Vivaldi-Catone-in-Utica/100395

Only one aria of Act I can be definitely recovered from a surviving opera, but the rest has now also been successfully reconstructed by Alessandro Ciccolini, whose intimate knowledge of Vivaldi’s working methods, combined with brilliant stylistic insight won universal acclaim for his work on Vivaldi’s Motezuma and Ercole sul Termodoonte. Ciccolini has also composed cadenzas and da capo variations for all the arias, published here in an appendix.
