    So many people thought that the tenor that sang with Lisette was rude to jump in and sing. I thought it was cool and if someone did it to me I would most likely react similarly. For a world-class soprano to not be high-strung about it was great. So many people would have thought it was rude. She's an amazing person anyway. She did virtual masterclasses during 2020 for free or donation, and I had the opportunity to sing for her. It was great.

    Once Ray Chen taught a master class at my music school and while only three students got to directly play for Ray, he had all of us in the audience bring our instruments and then put up some very easy orchestral music on a projector so we could all play together with him. It was so much fun and even though it was years ago it is still one of my most vivid musical performance memories.

We couldn't make any disturbing sounds, and many of the amazing comments made by Hilary were too soft for us to hear, as we were placed to sit in the back area of the hall, and Hilary was only speaking at normal conversation level. It was a great experience, but we didn't even get to have a photo with her. :(

      Yup, that happens. Once with a mezzo singing on the street and she did Samson and Dalila's " mon couer s ouvre a ta voix" She was a canservatory student. She recognized me as one of the operatenors and she noticed I was quietly humming along. At the tenorpart she nodded please sing. So I did. The audience liked it. I never would do that normally out of respect for the singer. But she asked it herself. We did also did a Carmenduet afterwards. Second time was a real strange situation. There was a party and karaoke was going on. But with a liveband !! They got a list of 200 songs, you fill in the number on a paper, put it on the table next to the band, they would pick one , and say you the number and your name, there was a mic and a musicstand with the music and lyrics and you could go sing. My friends were already: common go sing one. Naaaah they dont got my repertoire. Strangly in all the pop and rocksongs there was some kind of arrangement from the Carmen Habanera. Some amateur soprano went on stage and did that. She noticed me murmuring along the words. Probably by my looks she noticed ah a singer( oh well I just look like the stereotype Italian tenor) . So she signaled with her hand come to the stage. I didnt but from the audience I did sing the choirparts. Prends garde a toi !

      I thought they recognized Verizon Hall first when the camera panned out. Vignoli's design and the warmth of the sound are unmistakable. I miss Philly (went to grad school there). Always a world class orchestra, no matter who is conducting. My grandfather was a radio announcer for Philly's classical music station WFLN in the 1950s when Ormandy was in charge. He got to interview Persichetti too. Sadly the radio station is now defunct.

      One of my current favourite conductors 😍 he's also an incredible pianist. I saw him conduct the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Paris last year and he played an encore with the solo pianist (Brahms Waltz No. 15 for four hands). It was two minutes of pure bliss, and the silence that followed from the audience was spine-tingling.

    All right, so obviously, I know the Queen of the night aria TikTok was meant to be a condensed version but the actual translated lyrics are
    “The vengeance of Hell boils in my heart,
    Death and despair flame about me!
    If Sarastro does not through you feel
    The pain of death,
    Then you will be my daughter nevermore.
    Disowned may you be forever,
    Abandoned may you be forever,
    Destroyed be forever
    All the bonds of nature,
    If not through you
    Sarastro becomes pale!
    Hear, Gods of Revenge,
    Hear a mother’s oath!”

    I can give some explanation for #12: that's most probably taken from one of the Wien's New Year Concert that takes place every January 1st, with some staples such as Strauss Jr's Blue Danube Waltz.
    This piece, Radetzky March (which is always the final one in the list), has a peculiarity, in which the public is also an instrument; the clapping is conducted by the director!
    Source: Italian guy who follows the Christmas/New Year classical concerts broadcast from our public tv (with also the Christmas one from Assisi, and the Italian New Year one from La Fenice, Venice).
    Fun fact: in all of Europe Wien's NY concert is broadcast live at ~11.00 on each national main channel, but in Italy is broadcast on the 2nd main channel later at ~13.30, because we broadcast live our concert from La Fenice, Venice, at 12.00 (every timing here is considered according to Italy timezone, CET). It has something with our history, since for a lot of time, until 1861 (unification of Italy) and 1918 (end of WW1), parts of Italy were under control of Austrian Hapsburg empire (now Austria), and Radetzky was a general who bombarded Italian cities causing lots of devastation and deaths.
    The northern Italy was under the Austrian rule, often in unfavourable conditions. Our concert ends with Giuseppe Verdi's Va' Pensiero (a lyric from Nabucco, that resembles slaves under Nabucodonosor, and Italians under Austrian rule, considered oppressing, and aiming for an united Italy).

    I loved this so much, I honestly needed this video. Also, one of my friends got pregnant a few years ago and decided she wanted her baby to "listen to classical music so she would be smart" so asked to come with me to the "concert thingies you go to sometimes". Sure thing? The one I got tickets to was "Disney's Fantasia themed" because I thought she might recognize the songs? Half an hour in, she fell asleep, and I get it, she was pregnant and tired, whatever, then I look at the program again and I realized The Rite of Spring was coming, and me being a good friend, tried to wake her up, she slapped my hand away and kept sleeping. Oh well... I tried. She woke up with a statle, jumped from her seat and yelped as she landed. The kid is 7 and I still won't let her forget.

    That clapping at 4:18 is from the traditional New Year Concert in Vienna. The second encore (was it?) is always Radetzky March and the clapping is also a tradition. The concert is televised to most EU countries (by European Broadcasting Union, same for Eurovision Song Contest). Tickets are randomly drawn and sent across the world because there's, like, tens of thousands who want them and they don't want only super-rich people to get tickets. They do cost something like 100 to 500 euros but anyway.
