#It's after midnight but I went to the Met Opera in theaters and saw Der Rosenkavalier#And now I'm completely hyped up on the sounds of three gorgeous female voices#And I want to SING but it's MIDNIGHT and my parents are trying to sleep lol#And I don't know what it was about that opera because let's be honest the plot is pretty silly (as per usual)#But I'm kind of obsessed because while being Very Silly it was also Existential#And I don't usually say this but music and poetry really can elevate extremely dumb human choices to the level of the universal can't they#And then there's something sublime there suddenly#Mozart does this too but it was a different time and not quite So Existential#Example: half of the first act is basically just the Marschallin having a philosophical and emotional crisis about the nature of time#Anyway all I know is I got hit over the head by it as with a brick and now I'm seeing stars
