*Wallow-wallow*
So, Carmen was pretty fuckin' awesome. This wasn't the performance I went to, but I love the song, and James Levine is the conductor.
The rods of the sistrums tinkled
with a metallic lustre
and on this strange music
the zingarellas (female gypsies) rose
Basque tambourines went their course
and exaggerated guitars
squeaked under stubborn hands,
same song, same refrain
Tra la la la
Money and copper rings
glittered on the darkened skins;
of streaked orange or red
the fabrics floated with the wind
The dance to the song is married
initially undecided and timid
sharper then and more rapid...
that went up, went up, went up, went up!
Tra la la la
Gypsies, with turn of arm
their instruments made rage (raging)
and this dazzling din
bewitched the zingaras (male gypsies).
Under the rhythm of song
burning, insane, fevered
they were left, intoxicated,
To carry the whirlwind!
Ah, opera <3 <3 <3
I also want to say fuck you to David O'Reilly; you need to stop bein' amazing, and knock it off with the crazy techniques, like MAKING A VIDEO THAT INCORPORATES 3D GLASSES
