Louis Langree, conductorGUYS. I saw this last night and it was wonderful. You should absolutely listen to it. Felicity Palmer’s death scene alone is worth it.
EHHHH I WAS AT THIS PERFORMANCE. Can anyone save this audio file for me?

helenakoonings asked: OMG YOU'RE ON TUMBLR. I was creeping your wordpress thing after I found that Maria Stuarda/Anna Bolena meme, hahaha. Do you mind that I posted it? I put your blog as a post source, of course. :)
HAHA! Yeah, I actually started on Tumblr. And no! Of course not! I’m thrilled you posted it, actually. I was just so happy people were actually reading my stuff haha And thank you for citing it as a source. :-)
P.S. I’m on Tumblr as “randomoperastuff” as well. ;-)

DYING.
Not sure if it’s because I legitimately find this very funny, or because I’m just tired.
‘Tis well with me.
Nope, that is legitimately hilarious.

Y’all, I just thought of something!
Renee Fleming has a teenage daughter right? Or possibly in her early twenties? What if her daughter is on tumblr? What if she looks up her mom?
Random Opera Stuff: Hey, Let's Stop Being Sexist and Trashing Anna Netrebko! →
Let’s just get this away with first: Anna Netrebko is one of my favorite singers. She was just hitting her stride when I first got into opera, and I essentially grew up with her becoming the reigning soprano that she is today. I can really credit her for getting me interested…
If you were having a bad day, then you’re not anymore, cause here’s a picture of Joyce and a penguin.
I am not the garden variety teenager. I listen profusely to opera, I use words like "profusely" and I actually enjoy school. This blog will be all about opera and how it comes into play around the world, and then maybe some other stuff. In case you were wondering, I'm also on Twitter. Take a look. I'm @OperaTeen. Enjoy!
