cahnGuuuuuuys I found out from shewhostaples about ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
blackboxexchange, a fic and art exchange (art!! psst simonboccanegra) for theatre and musicals and opera and ballet!! HOW EXCITED AM I? THIS EXCITED. THIS EXCITED WITH CAPITAL LETTERS.
I have sooooo many things I want to nominate!! In no particular order:
-Turandot
-Die Walkure
-All the Verdi (or at least Ballo in Maschera, Simon Boccanegra, La Forza del Destino)
-Pelleas et Melisande
-Don Carlos (Schiller)
-Les Contes d'Hoffman
-La Clemenza di Tito
-La Traviata
...I don't even have room for Eugene Onegin and Don Carlos (Verdi) or Gilbert and Sullivan or musicals!! Ahhhhh musicals are a whole other thing that I want!
eeeeee I made the kids listen to opera in the car with me all day today (they didn't care, they were reading their books) :D
writing operafic is great because one doesn't actually have to get any history right, one can totally make it up
Also, are there any operas I should watch between now and signups (or possibly now and nominations)? :D (Ideally ones I can get free or from Met on Demand.)
Also also, does anyone have a good Aida they recommend? The Aida I watched (recent Met) had Netrebko, who's always good, but everyone else was kind of... boring.
