operalicious
i went and saw la damnation de faust tonight. it was crazycool.
the music was pretty…berlioz == mmm. the costumes were slightly surreal (giant gargoyle-esque masks, anyone? beetlejuice faust? bozo-the-clown mephistopheles?) and there was this awesome little poodle character. yeah! a poodle. well, a person in a poodle costume. with glittery red eyes! that was probably the coolest part. and of course, the sets were cool. not as cool as the david hockney tristan und isolde…but cool.
and the faust story is neat anyway…mmm metaphors…
