I just realized that I've always needed this in my life. Gabriel, Chris and Aoife can perform any and all of Britten's operas unabridged and I will absolutely be there.
I love this opera. And I am amazed that such a small group could convey at least the first scene. Kudos to the whole group and especially Gabriel Kahane.
This really works because one can understand the text perfectly clearly without need for subtitles. It's partly because of the reduced (re-)orchestration and partly because of the non-operatic singing. Too bad Aoife never got a chance to sing "Embroidery in childhood" on the show. Not an easy one, that aria, but Aoife can sing anything in her own style.
Very cleaver and interesting. One of my favorite opeas. My only comment would be to get better singers, although that comment may mean I didn't get the whole point of this exercise. Anyway, kudos to the group; a lot of fun.
Chris, it would be AWESOME if y'all could play "The Elephant in the Room"- Special Impeachment Edition, on this week's show. Let's see what you can whip up in the four days fourthcoming:)
😮 Love this! 😅❤
