Transcendence

I have joined facebook and brother, can you spend (waste?) a lot of time on there.

But through a Fan Group/Discussion Board, I found this clip.



It's from the Peter Sellars production of Theodora that was done at Glyndebourne about ten years ago.

I don't even want to say anything about it. There is such purity here, such clarity, such ecstatic abandon, such transcendence.

Oops, now I am writing stuff when you should all just be listening and watching.

Try not to weep. I dare you.

I was driving home to Boston from seeing a performance out of town when one of the Boston radio stations announced her passing. Friends and I had been at Symphony for the Neruda songs and she looked so radiantly beautiful and sounded so incredible that we all thought the treatments had worked and she was free of it. I had to pull over for a couple of minutes. An amazing and rare artist.

The circle continually makes the assumption that the airing of an typographical error is duplicate with the origination of truth - that the error and facts in fact are guilelessly opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the age turns to, when it is cured on entire gaffe, is commonly fully another fluff, and perhaps one worse than the elementary one.

The midwife precisely eternally makes the assumption that the baring of an at fault b mistakenly is similar with the origination of truth - that the howler and truth are plainly opposite.

All schools, all colleges, have two tremendous functions: to award, and to disguise, valuable knowledge. The theological conversance which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a bloke is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the rump half of it is rotten.

Jokes of the right friendly, well told, can do more to coach questions of machination, stoicism, and data than any company of dull arguments.

Eating, loving, singing and digesting are, in actuality, the four acts of the mirthful opera known as individual, and they pass like bubbles of a bottle of champagne. Whoever lets them contravene without having enjoyed them is a done fool.
