A bit of Salome from the Royal Opera, with a somewhat less skittish sense of cinematography than what we got from the Met’s HD!
Finally a chance to see Naked Busker Guy Duncan Meadows in action! (And, forgive La Cieca for saying so, but if your leading lady sounds like Nadja Michael, you’d better offer your audience something extra for their money.)
Kashania: GOOD ONE! Even if it is partially directed at moi, it made me laugh.
However, I would like to point out to all that I never said it was small, just that something could have been done with it for about a minute before his entrance to make it more intriguing. Imagine the psychology, an executioner who gets it up while cutting off his victims heads and bathing in their blood. I think it fits perfectly well in a regie production of Salome.
Of course if I directed Salome and was going to have a naked executioner I would cast Jeff Stryker or someone similar just to get a gasp out of everyone in the audience!
Shame the head emerges before the music says it should.
But I guess that’s what happens when you insist on having an entire naked executioner make his entrance instead of following the stage directions. An arm thrusting out from the cistern could be more dramatic.
And all those extras standing about in frozen positions. So am dram.
And Michael just sounds like a cloudy-voiced second-rater to me, albeit a spunky gal.
You need to get out more. That was one small dick at least in my part of the world. Didn’t go with the rest of that glorious package …
Well jatm and Sig. Malde, I have heard it said “there are showers and there are growers,” so how can we really know about this man? I heard a Johan. once in LA who was totally naked save for a VerySmall fig leaf, literally, pasted on his weenie; it was so amazing and rather embarassing and he remained that way for curtain calls — which was really embarassing, yet later in discussing this with a soprano who ‘knows’ the man, she advised me he is “gangbusters” in that department. So, who’s to know? (Who’s to care?) Of course Grace Moore said Ezio Pinza had a small dick; as does Domingo — but it’s taken him a long way.

jatm: Hey, I thought your suggestion of some kind of “enhancement” was a fine one.
I just don’t think that it’s small for a flaccid penis.
Look what kashania just said on another thread. Does it apply to this discussion too?
“I seriously doubt that Gelb had unlimited access to the endowment as has been suggested.”
Perhaps he’s a “grower” not a “shower” (as we used to say back in the day.
What would have been even more disturbing was if the executioner *had* gotten aroused by decapitating Jokaanan!
To answer why the execution is naked? Solely because McSicker wanted to see him naked. There isn’t a single dramatic reason for him to be, only to satisfy the director’s fantasy or fetish. And you see this ALL the time in his productions, which is so odd considering so many regard him as being true to the drama. I guess they’re right – until he finds someone he wants to see nude. In that regard, he becomes blandly preDICKtable.
Kashania in their minds their dicks are much bigger- (that’s the only place they are)….although rumour has it that Oncologist Turandot is HUGE- it’s because he stands too close to the radiation machines.
