Highlights from THE GOLDEN COCK
Check out the cock-a-doodle-dandy highlight reel from Heartbeat Opera's 8th Annual Drag Extravaganza, THE GOLDEN COCK!
Heartbeat’s beloved tradition of mixing opera, drag, and pastiche returned to Brooklyn! This year, we’re at the only gay club in St. Petersburg. The disco balls have stopped spinning, and there’s time for one last bedtime story. It’s Queers versus Kremlin tonight in an eye-popping, ear-thrilling battle replete with ambrosial arias, rude roosters, and a dacha full of divas. Don your dress, down your vodka, and dream dirty at Heartbeat Opera’s frisky riff on Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Golden Cockerel.

    I imagine this ghastly crew were shanghied from the most gruesome of prisons and forced to sing for their supper? They were whipped into an appreciable shape too. Well done.

    • @feuilletoniste
      @feuilletoniste 2 роки тому

      Belonging to a choir in a prison is a privilege that the members appreciate, and that they are painfully aware can be taken from them on the whim of prison governors. Choristers don't "sing for their supper" but rather to have a chance to express themselves, reclaim the humanity that the carceral system tries to stamp out of them, and connect with beauty and hope for a few precious hours. And they certainly aren't "whipped into shape" by any outside force, but rather work hard and practice diligently to improve their abilities and to contribute all they can to their ensemble. I recommend that you educate yourself about the valuable work being done by prison choir leaders, members, and support communities before making such ignorant and distasteful comments. Here is a TED talk on this subject by Amanda Weber, who leads the Minnesota women's prison choir Voices of Hope that can be seen in Heartbeat Opera's production: ua-cam.com/video/2H4qyOG13fc/v-deo.html

    WOW. If more singers sang Verdi like that, I'd listen to Verdi a lot more. So sensitively and musically phrased. So on pitch. And no shouting. By the way, if anyone hasn't seen Felicia Moore's terrific performance as Susan B. Anthony in the Gertrude Stein/Virgil Thomson opera "The Mother of Us All" at the Met Museum, I recommend it very, very highly. www.metmuseum.org/events/programs/met-live-arts/fy20-the-mother-of-us-all-digital-premiere
