A photo of a book of complex music, wide open. Behind it is a white cat, mouth open as if singing a huge operatic note ... but in reality probably yawning!
Washington National Opera is severing ties with the Kennedy Center. The company has performed there since 1977. A spokesperson told @ that they will seek other venues in Washington, D.C., and attributed the split to a decrease in ticket sales and supporter donations. Here's the full story from Playbill.
Writing about the life lessons we can learn from 1990s opera legend Luciano Pavarotti was not on our 2025 bingo card, but hey, a lot of things weren't.

One of my night captures of The Sydney Opera House on a hot balmy night in Sydney on 1st Dec. 2012... just as the lightning struck. The skies were magnificent and the storms were brewing.
The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts center in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
The Sydney Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007. It is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centres in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It sits at the north-eastern tip of the Sydney central business district (the CBD), surrounded on three sides by the harbour (Sydney Cove and Farm Cove) and inland by the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Sooooo... thinking about the possibility and feasibility of big life changes, namely studying opera seriously in Europe. Would love to connect with other #Blind language learners, especially those using #braille as a component of their learning. Currently learning #French. Am particularly interested in chatting with people who have taught themselves grade 2 French Braille as well as those who are either conversational or fluent and/or who have worked in or currently live in a #Francophone European country. If this is you or you're in any way adjacent to this world, please reach out. Would love to talk to you. Would also love to chat with people who use #MusicBraille / #BrailleMusic in Europe.
That's why I write #SpeculativeFiction things are always right if I'm making everything up 😜😂
Also, did you know to create a fictional world from scratch you have to start with creating the #Multiverse? At least that's what I've been told... 😅

Dawno, dawno temu, kiedy #Opera była prawdziwą przeglądarką, odkryłem w niej #gesty myszy. Choć używałem tylko najprostszych, typu wstecz / dalej / odśwież / zamknij kartę, to uważałem to za genialny wynalazek. I do dziś nie potrafię zrozumieć, nie tylko dlaczego większość współczesnych przeglądarek nie ma tego w standardzie, ale dlaczego nie jest to powszechnie dostępna funkcja interfejsów użytkownika.
Ale potem przypominam sobie, że dziś za szczytowy interfejs użytkownika uważa się program w postaci strony internetowej, wyświetlanej w kiepskiej, dziurawej przeglądarce. A projektanci dążą do tego, żeby bezmyślnie kopiować kiepskie rozwiązania z telefonów komórkowych na interfejsy komputerów, które są zupełnie do nich niedopasowane.
Mi spiace perché conosco il lavoro teatrale di Davide Livermore, ma stavolta ha toppato. L'abuso del led wall più grande d'Europa (a Torino) radice di scene artefatte à la Megalopolis, gli attori famosi in modalità alimentare, il mito di Orfeo ed Euridice usato con più talento dalla serie Kaos la scorsa estate, la recitazione dei 2 protagonisti appropriata per la lirica mentre qui siamo al #cinema, i soldi dei 2 stilisti-sponsor che non li rendono costumisti. Potrei continuare #musical#opera
