girl, he couldn’t get much higher
Which undeniably talented artist (of a race La Cieca affects to despise) had to be shushed repeatedly during a recent Metropolitan Opera performance because he was loudly laughing and dishing what was transpiring onstage? Perhaps this scruffy fellow’s obstreperous behavior can be blamed on his overindulgence in preshow cocktails – the fumes of which, one hears, were sufficient to ignite a pyre!
I always love a good flow chart.
Clue. La Cieca feigns to dislike Russians.
The key word is “affects”. Affected = Brit. OK, a Brit from the northern part of the U.K., as others have pointed out. Amazing, Guleghina didn’t completely wreck Io son umile ancella. It wasn’t great but at least it didn’t curdle.
Barbara: does she? I’ve never heard her say “fucking Russki” – but we have all heard that adjective in reference to Brits. Besides, notre doyenne is wont to pepper her pronouncements with hidden clues, of which “pyre” seems to be one. Hence I agree with those who say it’s David McVicar.
I’m also curious to know: what opera was it?
Come on, it has to be McVicar, folks… Just tell us which night of the week!!!
It was Thursday night and ONEGIN.
“OK, we are talking about either Alvares or Hvorostovsky , since there is a reference to a pyre and thus Trovatore.”
Pyre is also beink in book “Aeneid”- Queen Dido misses workouts with Aeneas and is burning up on that. Mark Morris is playink Dido as dancer…
O.K. Fame Whore – I was there – Onegin – but – I love the Carsen production – I could never disrespect ANYTHING he’s associated with -he’s an uber hero – but – I disliked the performance. I’ve seen a drunken Morris Dance behave obnoxiously elsewhere so I put myself in your camp.
Is Mark Morris an anti-Christ? – (in the secular definition).
I thought that La Cieca despised “fucking Brits”.
Michael Phelps at the opera!
with his bong could he get any higher?
and the race the La Cieca despises is obviously the 200-meter butterfly!
on the other hand, Mark Morris, son of Morris, therefore Morrison, as in Jim Morrison of the Doors, who sang Come on baby light my fire, girl we couldn’t get much higher. . .
oh, I give up, I’m gonna go see Music in the Air. . .
