After 6 months immersed in this music, 6 weeks of working beside this musical team of handsomes (@jgimpe, @francisco.collgarcia, @conductorandrewjoonchoi), and a stunning world premiere, saying goodbye to our Enemigo del Pueblo 🎭✨

Often, one of the opera repetiteur’s duties is looking after opera studio students in between productions, and I honestly love doing it.
Look at these young artists.
They ask questions that would never come to my mind, let alone the answers.
They see and rebel against every bit of bullshit in this world, and refuse to accept that this is the reality.
Their generation doesn’t have the problems we had, but they have and deal with many others we have no idea about.
They make mistakes, and they have the courage to admit them and to learn from them.
They are incredibly talented and somehow so often completely unaware of it.
Wherever they end up professionally, they are my inspiration, my hope, and my pride.

(!!Nerd Alert!!)
The performances of an absolutely stunning new production by @mosheleiser and #patricecaurier are over, but I still haven’t figured out the point of one phrase in L’heure espagnole and. it. drives. me. crazy:
IÑIGO
Coucou !…
CONCEPCIÓN (rageuse)
L’allusion est de haut goût,
Par Saint Jacques de Compostelle !
Excuse me, what now? Saint James?? Why??? Ravel doesn’t do random. What am I missing?!
Leaving this here as a scream into the universe, just in case some Ravel specialist stumbles across it one day…
