Okay, Jose....name the opera, and the aria, that begins...:

Ya vas lyublyu, lyublyu bezmerno


Extra points if you can identify the movie which has, as its main thematic movement, a note-for-note development of this aria, sans words, with no credit anywhere for its "actual" composer.

Well, the opera is the easy part of the answer for me: Tschaikovsky's "Pique Dame" ("The Queen of Spades") -Gambling actually figures into a couple of Russian operas, including Prokofiev's "The Gambler" which is about to be remounted by the Met - the set is basically one giant roulette wheel!

As for the movie.... Hmm... Let me pull my recording of the opera off the shelf to get reacquainted with it...

I'm up, after a pretty good night's sleep - I can't remember if my dreams were odd or not.

My current favorite salad and dressing is served at Ruth's Chris - their thousand island is incredible, and I rarely have thousand island because it is done so poorly.  My mother made the best thousand island in history.

DR Ron Pulliam - My minor in college was "Vocal Performance".  And, in fact, by the time I graduated, I was singing in five languages: English, Italian, German, French, and Russian.  -Oh, and I guess a little Catalan too.  -Those "lispy" S's came easy to me.  ::)

Big Hint:  It was a "big" production of a classic (made in the past 15 years) with one of Britain's leading actor-directors (noted for said big productions) collaborating with his "house" composer.

Most of the film's main thematic material was based upon Yeletzky's Aria.

I agreed to play one rehearsal of a local production of The Light in the Piazza.  I picked up the score last night - the MD told me he doesn't know what will be covered at the rehearsal I'm playing at - So... if I'm e/t (more than usual) the next few days, you'll know where I am... OY

(side note:  for those pianists that know the vocal selections of the show know that most of it seems impossible to navigate, however, the score is easier to read as the melody is not in the accompaniment... thank God for some small favors)

Agreed!  "The Beauty Is" is rendered unplayable in the vocal selections.  Why Adam Guettel(?) approved(?) that format for the vocal selections is beyond me.

That's correct!

And the film that he scored, apparently "inspired" by Tschaikovsky's very specific aria from "Pique Dame"?

Oddly, I found myself delighted with the results...of both the eviction and the HOH competition.

And that's unusual for me.  But since I don't care about any of them, in general, I found myself being annoyed by the evictee's voice and brassiness...to the extreme.

It was interesting to me because on last night's show they actually updated us with what had really happened. Usually when it is eviction night they don't show us all the discussions beforehand.
But i felt like last night they really showed us that nat et al were planning to screw over james/josh.

I was happy to see josh go. I felt bad watching his parents. I'm sure he can be a nice and decent guy. But he just behaved so poorly so much of the time. I did not like him.  I was happy to see adam win hoh (don't especially like him). But did not want to see james win. It was interesting to see sharon blow it (she really had it but blew it big time). I'm curious if she lost on purpose or not. I'm curious to see if adam will nominate sharon/james. I'm guessing so.

GROAN!  When Bryan put his loft on the market he became the 4th one in the building for sale.  As of today there are now 7 lofts for sale, the latest being close in size & price to Bryan's. :(

PROJECT RUNWAY SEASON 4 FINALE DISCUSSION

Well i'm probably the only one who did not get to watch the show when it was on. But i'm just now reading some of the posts here. It's a shame we get it delayed in canada, since this is one of my favorite shows and i would enjoy discussing it here. :(

I just wanted to add that i was not at all surprised with the winner. Both on the US version and on PROJECT RUNWAY CANADA they often try to choose who they think will be the next big talent. Not totally just who has the best runway show.  I think that the winner was consistently strong and he was my bet to win for a while.

I did not really like the 2nd place finisher. I loved Jillian. And i actually loved victoria and kevin (who i thought got eliminated way too early). I think christian and jillian were my favs though. I was not surprised christian was fan favorite. I thought he was sweet! :)
I actually found myself disappointed chris did not make to fashion week as one of the final 3. I thought what he showed looked quite interesting.
