They changed it during the run last season. After the prima they changed the cue, so that the red came on much more gradually. It was effective, a big improvement.
So the pic shows the pretty James Franco in ‘Tristan: the movie’. Anyone seen it? I note from IMDB that an immortal line is one he says to Isolde: ‘I feel on fire and a guilt I can’t comidify’.
Well, you all seem quite able to comidify your guilt about what you post re Renee and others.
Who was singing at the Met? No-one says here.
I hadn’t seen that flick before but after seeing the above pic of the luscious James Franco I think I might have to run out and get it. Hot, hot hot.
Mr. Franco is Sean Penn’s lover in the movie “Milk.” I believe they have a kissing scene. Oscar buzz galore for Mr. Penn’s portrayal of the title character.
The film version of TRISTAN AND ISOLDE (I think it came out about 5 years ago) is ludicrous. It was totally made for and marketed towards the teenage girl set, with no respect given to the story. Rufus Sewell turned in a good performance as King Marke, but that was about it.
Regie, last night Katarina Dalayman was Isolde and Peter Seiffert was Tristan. Barenboim conducted, Michelle DeYoung was Brangane, and Rene Pape was Konig Marke. Don’t remember who sang Kurwenal.
There was no red lighting at the dress rehearsal either. I think they have dropped it because at all of the 4 performances I have seen of this production there were always giggles, groans and out right laughing when the back drop goes all passionate and what-not.
Thought so, not telling. I’ll stick to the serendipitous image above.
Won’t be seeing that other movie as Sean Penn’s OTT methodology makes my toes curl.
Really, Dalayman’s graduated to Isolde? I liked her truthfulness as Lady Macbeth and Marie, but that might be a step too far.
And no, La Cieca, I have never been anywhere near the Hall of the Mountain Vicar. I see his latest ploys are mostly ignored, as befits one who rants about singers whom most posters have never even heard of, and manages to insult anyone who might have known the (in many cases late) victims into the bargain.
Oh, but hang on, ‘Milk’ is about great Harvey, right (where have I been, you might ask? Well, not much in the USA)?
Even so, bearing in mind my Pennallergy maybe I’ll just stick to the tearjerkingly wonderful ‘Life and Times of’.
“The film version of TRISTAN AND ISOLDE (I think it came out about 5 years ago) is ludicrous. It was totally made for and marketed towards the teenage girl set, with no respect given to the story.”
Agreed. Teenage girls, we all know, have no right to movies of their own. If the story had been slanted to aging queens, on the other hand …
