How an opera gets made 

I just watched the opera last month and it was amazing

Sitzprobe wird großgeschrieben.

@@franzhubertus7994 Well Sitzprobe is also called sitzprobe in English. So since in English every common noun is not starting with a capital letter, they wrote it correctly

There is something so magical about bringing a “show” to life. For me the planning, design, stage craft, rehearsal, blocking are of more interest to me than viewing the show as an audience member.

I worked in the Met costume dept. for many years and everything is super expensive and intricate. Including that styrofoam hat.

We just did Hamlet at my college and I was working wardrobe. Not gonna lie, cast and wardrobe both looked at Gertrude's crown and said "She's wearing THAT???" It was primary colors and all satin cord. Looked like a Halloween toy... Until it was on stage and it popped - absolutely stunning. Stage costumes aren't meant to be seen up close, so a lot of weird stuff goes into making them. Also if you use the "right" material - for example, metal instead of foam - it can often come out looking wrong/cheap or else be the wrong weight/shape/size for the movement required by the part.

ok but baby robe thats a vibe i want

I love how your comment has 2.1K likes but only 4 replies

To be fair, an authentic crown is actually super heavy and not very practical to perform in. Diamonds and gold are literally rocks and metal, it's exhausting to wear the real thing.

strange they didn't mention football fields

@@LOLHajimebilibili What is this about? all you said is they framed some employees can you tell me more about the story?

@@bob-manuel Huawei employee Li Hongyuan joined Huawei in 2005, but due to the discovery of the company's inverter business fraud, an internal report was made in November 2016. Huawei conducted an audit, the head of the replacement department changed the department, and at the same time he left! After he left office, he received 2N layoff compensation, 13 years of working experience, and negotiated compensation of 330,000 yuan, but in fact Huawei intentionally used Huawei HR's bank private account to transfer 300,000 yuan. Huawei then sued him for extortion. So Li Hongyuan was arrested and jailed for 251 days. This is a deliberately designed trap! Huawei intentionally used a private account to transfer money to him! Using this trap is to let Li Hongyuan go to jail!Currently, Huawei bans this incident on all our social platforms! So we can't help it! We can only post comments here!

Yes

and that's exactly why we should talk more about art... in a fun and enthusiastic way! :)

It's available for download/streaming too, I'm watching it now.

Kristoffer Risanger nice, where?

Couldn't figure out where to pay for it (what a world eh?), but it's in the DHT network.

Kristoffer Risanger i havent been able to find it could you shoot me a link on twitter? V3x1ng

no comments?

It’s the nice Jeff Bezos

We need to write an opera about the private space race for him then

While contemplating your $120,000 banana-taped-to-the-wall-with-duck-tape art exposition!

@@wolfie8012 and then just CONSUME the art in front of the public

Hahahahahhaa

Yes, he had such a lightness to his energy, a lot of joy... And the natural light in his apartment is 👌

@@Sbeth85 Your point (if there is one)?

@@Dr_JSH My point is pretty clear from the original comment.

The Met On Demand is where you can watch for a monthly subscription if you want.

agreed

LA Opera is pretty good about offering a mix of classics, forgotten gems, and newer compositions. I saw Akhnaten (modern), Tosca (classic), and Abduction From the Seraglio (forgotten gem) in the same year. They also did an incredible rendition of Orpheus and Eurydice with the Joffrey Ballet. Ballet and Opera should be together more often. They certainly used to be.

ok boomer

Most opera in general is pretty unknown to the general public

Beatle Mania it’s just a shame new operas are terrible and are just ridiculous money making spectacles with zero artistry. But of course the public doesn’t understand that, they just literally digest anything and think it’s good if it’s labeled as such, they can’t make up their own mind or have original thoughts.

Yes. It can get very intense. But that also comes from the fact that the conductor demands a lot from her musicians. And rightfully so, they are some of the top musicians in the world and can take her demands.

Thats theatre babey

CzarPeppers cool story.

I really like your rambling. Do go on please :-)

That's really cool! I was in the children's chorus for an opera once, so this video helped me give a name to the various rehearsals, jobs, and people I remember. But to be behind the scenes of so many productions must've been indescribable!

so beautiful!! you definitely had an incredibly unique childhood thank you for sharing your memories with random people ( like me 😁 !)

It was the most satisfying thing ever omg

I saw the opera on November 30th, he was gorgeous

Opera Is a very stressful job i think. No place for mistakes

"Ok, if you get nervous, just imagine all of the audience nake-...wait"

so true

so true

so treu

Os tuer

Ii love glass!!! hanks to classic sesame street, I would have never known about him **

yyyeah... but you kind of have to expect that at prominent theatres in major cities. what are you doing drinking coffee anyway? you were at the met... champaigne all the way!

SarahBear795 that’s no excuse.

That's New York City for you.

actually not a bad deal

that is how they make their money and it's the same way with movie theatres. ticket cost goes to so many things and concession prices can be secure income to invest back into the theatre.

I saw this back in the eighties. It was great. Don't remember any jugglers. We did have brickmakers, wrestlers, and people winnowing wheat.

@@Bacopa68 i think the juggling is new to this staging, it premiered in 2017.

I watched several early operas which are quite impopular today so i think i might get my chances with this one

This comment sound like it was paid for.

Right?? I want to see this opera really bad now.

i know, right? i love him.

*Opera but yeah

@@TheChannelXY opera is also considered theatre

@@juliusdsanchez i did not know that.. thx:)

Dude i didn't know you enjoy this kind of documentary too

Such a meme

I'm from Germany and my cinema does "stream" (don't know what the right phrasing would be) from the metropolitan Opera

Today, December 4, it gets live broadcast to movie theatres around the world!! I'm seeing it today at my local movie theatre; see if that's an option for you! :) It's via "Regal movie"

@@b3z3jm3nny I just checked their website to see if it is possible that there are showings in my country. Turns out, there is none. :'') Thanks for letting me know anyway. Maybe if the show gets more traction, it will eventually come to my country.

Doe aw I’m sorry for giving you false hope. At the very least you can listen to a (different production’s) recording on Spotify

There’s a decent production from the University of Indiana here on RU-vid you can look up, though I think it’s broken up into different videos.

Me too. Had to spend a lot of money to come from Finland, but I regret nothing, it was a show for a lifetime.

Don't worry they do, 4:53

I heard that, but it’s much more than “weeks.”
