Guests at the Last Frontier pool watched as a mushroom cloud rose from the Simon Test, part of the Operation Upshot-Knothole, at the Nevada Test Site outside of Las Vegas on April 25, 1953. The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce issued a calendar for tourists, listing the scheduled times of the bomb detonations and the best places to view them.

When I saw this photo shared on Facebook by the National Atomic Testing Museum (Atomic Museum), I was thinking what a contrast from just eight years earlier when Enrico Fermi was taking bets ahead of the Trinity test about whether a nuclear detonation would ignite the atmosphere and possibly destroy the world. That’s an episode recounted in John Adams’s opera Doctor Atomic which I saw at Lyric Opera in the 2007/8 season.

I knew Fermi wasn’tserious, but hadn’t understood that by that time that particular catastrophe had already been ruled out by scientists as even a remote possibility, but the idea that it at least might have been possible lived on in the more popular imagination for some time.

I WENT TO THIS!!! The movement and orchestration was INCREDIBLE (yes I cried). The image of Frankenstein as a mutilated but naked man was profoundly beautiful. It felt like i was watching an old painting of Jesus come to life. I HIGHLY encourage you to watch this performance!! If you live in Chicago — go see more Lyric opera performances. Them and the people at Joffrey really know whats up.

finding out there's a frankenstein ballet and that it was in october of last year…DEVASTATING

look at this. look at these. im foaming at the mouth

Here's some more information about it:

I don't think they ever found the culprit, because I also came across a Facebook post from 2019 implying that the case was still cold.

i love going through all the older opera materials i inherited from my grandmother bc i end up learning abt the time a lyric opera chorister was murdered in the most ominous way this information could be divulged possible

i never need to hear an opera compared to champagne ever again

I am beginning to feel like there's a tendency in staged productions of La Damnation de Faust to overestimate the abstraction of the score/libretto and just put a whole lot of visual business into it that's not really necessary to tell the story or convey the emotions involved. On the other hand, this mental image is deeply hilarious.
