Well, you've read the notes, the notes were operatic, and now it is time for you to post until the operatic cows come home.

And the word of the day is: TRADUCE!

BK, glad you liked the experience of the opera (if not the opera itself). I went to see Carmen a few years ago in Seattle and felt the same way...I'm listening to the sound of the actual voices coming from the actual singers and there was nothing electronic getting in the way. It was wonderful.

I've been to a hundred ballet performances. Enjoyed every single one. It amazes me that you can train the body to do exactly what it's expected to do.

The most memorable will always be, Joffrey Ballet doing an entire evening of Prince (Purple Rain, etc.). It was the first ballet I took my daughter to. She was maybe 5 or 6, when the orchestra started playing she got out of her chair, sat on her dad's lap, leaned forward, and never took her eyes off the stage. It made both of us cry.

It was better than Disneyland.

And I'm a big fan of Prince.

Just watched another one of my favorite feel better moves. Choose Me.

Maybe today I'll watch, To Live and Die in LA, if this heat does not stop soon, I'm going to (as written in a book I have somewhere) vomit on the ground.

I'm not tired.

It's dark and quiet and I'm wide awake.

Today is Vendy day! Have fun DR JOSE....photos please.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 26, 2009, 05:16:56 AM »

Hmmmmmmmmmmm......I haven't seen too many LIVE ballets, and try to avoid local companies because of some pretty horrible evenings.

I once saw a touring company from Texas do SWAN LAKE which was good.....except when Odile fell down....

On video I like to watch the excerpts from various variety shows of Fonteyn and Nureyev. I like the ballet sequences in THE RED SHOES and TALES OF HOFFMAN.

I shall be interested to read the other choices of the DRs from HHW.

I knew I should have watched it! It still might be broadcasting if I did!!!

DR MICHAEL S - you would have made the viewer number 1,000,001.

Good morning!

Glorious coolness! Our temps today aren't getting out of the 60s, and if you could see the big ol' grin on my face, you'd know how happy I am about it. It's not going to last; by Monday we're back into the 80s during the afternoon, but the mornings all promise to stay very, very cool, and that will make walking a pleasure.

Matt H. · « **Reply #28 on:** September 26, 2009, 06:31:19 AM »

Again, no work projects today, so I'll be watching a good bit on TV and I hope to get to the Warners Archive IDIOTS DELIGHT this evening. Haven't seen it in years and looking forward to revisiting it.

Matt H. · « **Reply #29 on:** September 26, 2009, 06:33:18 AM »

I'll be getting the new box set of MEDIUM probably on Monday (was put in the mail yesterday), so that means I may do MONSOON WEDDING tomorrow just to get it out of the way. Next week may be heavy with TV box sets on regular DVD and Blu-ray (if the person who gets first crack at HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and THE UNIT turns either or both down.)

I should be getting SNOW WHITE next week and maybe THE PROPOSAL, too.
