Well, it’s certainly a striking image!
I was not one of the lucky ones to attend this performance in Zurich but, like others in my position, I have read the reports and reviews, watched the trailer and marvelled over the extraordinary photos of David Pountney’s production. Many people will be familiar with this and this but the image above is quite new to me, If anyone can put it in context I would love to know what was going on and what was being sung at the time.
Meanwhile let’s have some fun with a clever caption or two?
So far:-
‘Darth Vessi struggled at first in Light Sabre class…’
“You know, you can hide a whole ‘nother mezzo under here. Just sayin’.”

HAVE A WONDERFUL WHITE SHIRT WEEKEND!
and watch out for that cold weather!

Looks like a WS traveller just set the caption bar pretty high! Any responses?
“You know, you can hide a whole ‘nother mezzo under here. Just sayin’.”
entirely not about the pix above
, but at where she’s ripping the papers apart, i’d have loved so much to hear her take on this. You know what’s wrong with the uptight German and Zurich crowd?? no bootleg in-house recording whatsoever!! See how it’s done in Moscow?!
i soo sad they’re retiring the production already (info from insider), so no hope of reviving w/ VK , woooooahhhhhh. we all know i’d cancel ALL meetings and clear ALL schedule in case of a reproduction of this somewhere!!!
(and while we’re on reports, don’t forget these fabulous ones from Purity above. where’d thadieu be w/o her… and while we’re at it, the _other_ insider promised td VK’s Marguerite at some point…)
“where’d thadieu be w/o her… ” —
I’m sure I wouldn’t be blogging and you might not be travelling/blogging if it were not for the inspiration of Purity/Anik/Smorg et al.
In fact I remember some of the posts so well that it is tempting to reiterate some of the choice phrases.
