If you ever mislay the Christmas tree...
You may lack the ability to hold a tune, command the stage or knock up a pair of kitten heels in an afternoon but if you own a beard, and a few good years, you might just get a facsimile of your visage on stage for DMvN.
WNO have put the call out for men who are slightly more mature...preferably with a beard to have their picture taken for the Act 1 portrait gallery in Meistersinger. Follow the blue bricked road for more details including contact information.
But you'll have to hurry – the photo shoot is to take place tomorrow at the Wales Millennium Centre.
*****Update*****
If email isn't your thing you can simply pick up the telephone and give the WNO a ring on their Bearded Mature Man Hotline - 029 2063 5000 - but remember that tomorrow, the 27th of May, is the day when the snapping takes place.
upsy.. Jonas is having a bland idea moment or what??? In last year's Lohengrin we have pictures of the missing Else-brother all over the theater.. is he recycling the idea???? I throughly tried to ignore so far that i will have to sit through 6h worth of a Jonas production... humph!!! better focus on the music and not think too much of how he screwed up that lohengrin... I knew there had to be a downside to that heavenly weekend...
ReplyDeleteHaving not seen Jones' Lohengrin yet (waiting on Amazon to come up with the goods) I'll have to say "no comment" at the moment. What I can say is that the productions I've seen of his in the last year or so (The Queen of Spades, L'Heure Espagnole / Gianni Schicchi) left me more than satisfied. The Queen of Spades in particular was a great success and was up there with the JDD Barbiere as my one of my favourite opera moments of last year.
ReplyDeleteBy the way - how's the libretto coming on?
ReplyDeleteI liked his Gambler :-) But i didn't feel his love of Wagner in Munich, more his tendency of mockery of Wagner, not sure i would like that to be mi first Meister.. but we shall see, i'll keep and open mind.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are evil.... i will respond that last nigth at 4,30 i was finishing up a report :-) But hey there is a whole day bankholiday coming up, i need to get a recording and i'll hole up and do my home work :-)
Me, evil? Surely not...puppies and buttercups are what make my days shining and bright!
ReplyDeleteThe only mockery I'm sensing where Wagner is concerned at the moment is with Amazon - ordered Lohengrin last Saturday and it still hasn't arrived...
But judging by the vibes emanating from rehearsals I think you'll be pleased you were ripped off by First Great Western ;)
are you going to one ? rehearsal i mean??? come'on, dish the dirt!!! ;-)))
ReplyDeleteIf I was running rehearsals I think the last person I'd want near the stage would be a blogger, especially one with my unsurpassed comprehensive lack of musical know-how. So the answer, to everyone's relief is, nope :)
