So, JRAND, you’re more familiar with Dolly Parsifal?

I just saw my first two Strauss operas this year, thanks to the Met: Elektra and Rosenkavalier. The latter is too long. Strauss said so himself after he conducted a performance that left him exhausted.

Elektra was great. And 95 minutes or so.

I’ve only seen Parsifal and Die Meistersinger from the Wagner canon. I own The Ring on disc, but I haven’t taken the necessary 28 hours to watch it.

Both ELEKTRA and SALOME are a great one-act length.

I've watched others on video, but the two productions I've attended live were the Sir Peter Hall staging of SALOME at L.A. Opera -- with Maria Ewing, who went the last mile with the last veil -- and the Met's 1994 production of ELEKTRA. And there were a couple of concert performances somewhere along the way.

You really have to "be there" to hear these live to get the full impact of the orchestration. It's like The Rite of Spring, which used to be my benchmark in that respect. I'm doubtful that any recording has yet captured the full sound and the feel of the orchestra in these pieces.

Sorry, I didn't warn that this post could be harmful to vixmom's ears.   :)

I never feel like I know Anthony Quinn from too many things.

ZORBA THE GREEK, first and foremost. And then LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and REQUIEM FOR A HEAVYWEIGHT. I saw his HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME as a kid, but I have scant memory of that.

I guess I'll be watching for him when I get the Fellini set, eh?

I met Anthony Quinn briefly at a press conference when he was touring with Zorba. He and Lika Kedrova were both way too old for their parts, and it didn’t matter. They could hold an audience in their hands. All you had to do was go along for the ride.

I think they were hungry for work and for applause or that connection with an audience.

He was really good in Lust for Life, Viva Zapata, Guns of Navarone, La Strada.

I wish I could use my phone video.  Thatch is reacting to the warm laundry as if it were a mega-dose of catnip.  Maybe it's the Bounce laundry sheets?  He is so damned adorable.

Sweet!

Wow - I listened and watched the Grand Ol' Opry all the time when I was little, and I have never heard of any of these songs or people.

Good Afternoon!   My work day is over and I'll be off to teach a guitar lesson in a few minutes. 

In apartment news....  So, the kitchen is almost done, the bathroom is put away, I think I have one more box of kitchen stuff.  I moved the hutch into place, got rid of some of the boxes - it’s slowly coming together.  Still needs to feel like home.   When everything is put away, I can decorate for Christmas, which I'm looking forward to doing.  The boys are doing well.  I think they like the extra space to run around in.

We have a soul food place in the area called 3 Pigs.  It's one of my favorite restaurants.  It's definitely my go-to for fried chicken.

I've got three Quinn films:
ZORBA THE GREEK
THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, which I loved as a kid
ULYSSES, the Kirk Douglas Italian epic.

I've tried to find a home video release of that HUNCHBACK for years, but the only things out there appear to be bootleg DVDs. I wonder if there are ownership issues preventing a release, or if this film somehow fell into the public domain. This was definitely a known film when we were kids.

Yes, Salome is under 100 minutes, where as the Wagner is close to three hours.
