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

And the word of the day is: NOTABILIA!

The Rake's Progress runs about 150 minutes or so and was originally on three LPs. Mint copies of that original LP set go for hundreds of dollars.

Well, good night, Tom. I need to go to sleep now. I agreed to pick up a coworker from the airport and then we'll both go to work. Her flight comes in at 9:00 am, so I'll have to leave by 7:30...7:45 at the absolute latest.

Have a good day, all!

The Rake's Progress......is that the prequel to The Hoe's Road Block?

Lovely photos in the notes. And so happy the FIX worked....I had no doubt that it would.

I was planning to call out of work today but a coworker just beat me to it

vixmom · « **Reply #13 on:** June 05, 2017, 03:52:52 AM »

So I guess I'm going in

vixmom · « **Reply #14 on:** June 05, 2017, 03:55:29 AM »

i am glad I saw TCB and Georges lists...I didn't think of Jesus Chrust Superstar or Evita as operas but I suppose they are.

So those 2

BK, The Rake's Progress is one of my all-time favorite operas. I saw Jonathan Miller's mediocre production at the Met in the early 1990s when my neighbor replaced Dawn Upshaw as Anne Trulove. I first heard it around 1965 when the 2nd Stravinsky recording was released on LP, and that cast is still my favorite. Judith Raskin is perfect as Anne, and John Reardon is still my favorite Nick Shadow.

The score, which is sorta like hearing Mozart, Gluck, Bellini through a funhouse mirror, is simply glorious. I think the second scene in Mother Goose's brothel has the best music, but Anne's Act One closer is a real showstopper, and Baba the Turk;s "The milkmaid haunts me" always makes me laugh.

I had a half-interesting dream going, but it was gone with the wind as soon as my eyes were fully open.
