your holy city has become a wilderness

by orphan_account

“Please!” he sobbed, but there was no reply; the statue said nothing, and Leporello was left with the knowledge that he was just a man, crying on his knees in front on a stone monument that terrified him.

La bohème - Puccini/Illica/Giacosa+1

La Bohème

by magicpatyesz

Marcello, Rodolfo, Colline, and Schaunard - the painter, the poet, the philosopher and the musician - share a small garret, struggling in extreme poverty with nothing to help them get by other than their sense of humour, and even that is born out of necessity. But when Mimì stumbles into their life in a moment of glorious serendipity, everything changes - some of it for the better, some of it for the worse.Following Giacomo Puccini's La Bohème closely, the four young bohemians take us through the Quartier Latin, through love, through poverty and through misery.

Aida - Verdi/Ghislanzoni+1

Nile Waves

by magicpatyesz

The Nile sloshes gently, its waves rocking against the shore, a lovely push-and-pull that has the reed bob its many heads--and there she is, Aida, hands wrung together, eyes on the far bank. "Oh, love..." She asks, all but a demand. "And tell me, how do you plan to escape the Pharaoh's will, Amneris' love, and the priests' rage?"A telling of Act III on the Nile Bank, from Pur ti riveggo onwards.

Tiān Guān Cì Fú - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù+1

Mingguang dramma per

by PleasingNight

What is this? This is the libretto of a 18th century Italian opera telling the story of Pei Ming and Rong Guang.The text is bilingual: the Italian original with parallel English translation. (That said, I am just learning Italian, please do not judge my language too strictly.)For the arias, I suggest taking a glance at the Italian text even if you do not read it, just to see the rhythm and rhyme. For recitative, the language is less important.I am grateful to the most insightful and inspiring beta, lifeisyetfair.Here is the playlist I was writing to. It gives an idea of how this opera could sound.Any 18th century composers willing to set this to music here?
