And the dramatic crashy stuff comes on the word "détruire," to destroy. :D
Oh, this is AWESOME. I am always here for this kind of thing; I would totally love to hear if you remember other examples! I'll have to pay attention next time I listen and see whether I can pick out more stuff.
(aside -- I am quite fond of Verdi's dramatic crashy stuff and I also sometimes at the same time find it hilarious, like when Rodrigo has his whole "Sire, are you the only man you can't keep in check?" bit and then you get the Super Dramatic chord right afterwards -- it always makes me laugh. Why yes, Verdi, I get that you strenuously agree with Rodrigo there!)
Ahhhhh I am working my way up to Trovatore! Not there yet, but I have listened to Ballo, which I really want to see now and also write fix-it for because augh, and halfway through listening to Forza -- omg, how miserable is this opera! beautiful, but whyyyyy is the baritone so awful, Verdi, I thought we had an agreement that baritones were supposed to be awesome!! (You did warn me! Thank you for the warning :) )
It's a very weird and depressing production (and, I mean, it literally uses the image of Satan in the ninth circle of hell eating someone -- so honestly I could also just have my normal meter for shock totally out of whack right now) -- it makes total sense not to want to watch it for all kinds of reasons!
