McVicar doesnt just go for the nekkid men… i was in Chicago 2 weeks ago and saw his Manon, in which Madame Dessay proudly stepped into the tub and from where i was in the orchestra section, i saw her left boobie… it was all quite nicely done, having her attendant wash her…but i KNOW that Hei-Kyong Hong did not do the same thing several years ago in the same production in Dallas…

There were two drunken men that stripped down to their panties that WOULD have been nice to see naked.

UV,

You’re funny and I love it!

Thank you Mrmyster you are probably totally correct.

Ah Constantine I understand your delusion. Just as you are bored with anatomic talk, some of us are constantly bored by the Rene F posts- but we have to put up with those anyway. Perhaps the trick is to just ignore what you don’t like- it soon goes away. I will go and check my breasts now

Una Vochay,

By the same analogy, women with bigger brests have smaller brains? Being an MD (but not an oncologist!) I find this discussion of anatomic appendagies rather unscientific and boring. We all can do better than that, like talking about our passion-opera!

#46, Una, if I may – recommend you substitute the word “ass” for “donkey.”
The problem with radiation oncologists is they have far too much money, and not really enough imagination about how to spend it. What a bunch!

Turandot – I don’t feel the need to have an excuse because I’m perfectly happy and secure with what I’ve got, thank you. Sure it doesn’t hit my knees
so perhaps that’s why I can enjoy and appreciate seeing another guy who has a beautiful body and perfectly normal appendage without the need to make facile, belittling remarks?

As an extremely well hung Oncologist, do you think there is any medical evidence to support the theory that the more one’s appendage resembles a donkey’s – the more likely it is that the brain can be similarly described? One or two experiences in the past have led me to wonder if there isn’t some truth in the old adage “the bigger the dick, the smaller the brain.”

Forgive me if I jump to conclusions but your responses frequently do seem to give some credence to this theory.

For one brief moment I thought that Salome wasn’t the only one to get a(some) big head. Sorry fella maybe next time.

well, if we’re going to take this seriously, the executioner could be naked because he is going to perform an act in which he will be sprayed with copious amounts of blood, which would be much easier to wash off the body than out of clothing. But that aside, in a fabulously tawdry piece of theatre like Salome (and I mean that as a compliment), in which nudity is already a required component (veils, anyone?) why not feature such a gorgeous hunk of manflesh?

As for his tiny dick, it wouldn’t tiny after I got started on it….

How did this thread unravel into an oncological argument about the existence of dick?

I see McVicar is being let loose on La traviata in Scotland (apparently having vowed a few years ago never to touch the piece). Apparently he wants to put back the sex in the relationship between Violettat and Alfredo. And Germont’s appearance at Flora’s party will no doubt be in the nude.

The soprano is Carmen Gianattasio. I’ve heard good things about her — has anyone heard her or seen her live? I think she’s on a Boccanegra DVD.

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.

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.

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!

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.”

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.

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.
Bye,

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 …

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.
