Seduction Theory
Every now and then, it comes along something to excite jaded incubus... this time, this bare chested opera hunk - Erwin Schrott.
I was one of those *cool kids who does not like Opera* even though I like the rest of the forms of classical music... What has changed ?
Opera is the closest things we can experience the good old days of Amadeus and Franz, mingling with Princesses and Emperors, dukes and countesses...
However until recent years, the classical music industry ignored to feast the eyes of the audiences and turned into snobbery on parade of flashing techniques without the lust for life.
How can I be seduced when the leading seducer weighs pushing 220lbs?
Brad Pitt cannot be Brad Pitt if he was just a talented actor with extra weight. Everyone knows that.
And finally Opera got that part down.
(They got the Angelina Jolie part down ages ago... It must be the sexism.)
So finally, semi nude loves scenes and in Vivaldi's case, hunky tenor with full frontal nude... and finally the pretty baritones for Don Giovanni.
I wonder if he would sing Faust in the future ...
Opera finally found the guy who fit the role of the most seductive libertine ever.
I would not mind if he'd play my role... :D
(I will be in NYC next week by this time. I am planning to ensnare two vampires from Transylvania. Where? At the Opera, of course. )
