新国立劇場におけるヴァーグナーの《トリスタンとイゾルデ》の上演を観て

「闇に包まれた夜の国」から来て、今またそこへ還ろうとしている。深い傷を負ったトリスタンは、みずからの来し方と行く末をイゾルデにこう語りかけるが、その言葉は《トリスタンとイゾルデ》という楽劇そのものを暗示しているようにも聞こえる。チューリヒでのマティルデ・ヴェーゼンドンクとの出会いと、ショーペンハウアーの思想への共鳴のなかから生まれたヴァーグナーの作品を貫くのは、この「夜の国」の翳である。その闇は第二幕の「愛の二重唱」でも触れられるように、恋人たちを隠すと同時に、自他の区別も、個としての生命も溶解させる。それをつうじて一つになることの憧れを、ヴァーグナーの音楽は歌い続ける。 おそらくはこうしたことを踏まえながら、新国立劇場における《トリスタンとイゾルデ》の上演の舞台は、翳を基調としていたのだろう。2024年3月23日の公演における第二幕の終景と第三幕の最初の場面におけるトリスタンの歌に耳…

Photograph of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert opening The Crystal Palace in Sydnenham 1854.

After the closure of The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park it was moved to Sydenham and rebuilt in even grander form there between 1852 and 1854, using twice the amount of glass, with barrel-vaulted transepts at both ends of the nave. Situated in landscaped gardens it became one of London’s major tourist attractions until its destruction by fire in 1936.

The opening ceremony on 10th June 1854, featured Michael Costa who conducted a vast orchestra and choir of over 1,700 performers featuring three military bands, the orchestra from Covent Garden Theatre, and a chorus recruited from twenty-one provincial choirs on a 6,000 square foot stage at a 42 degree rake so that they could all see the conductor. The audience of over 30,000 witnessed a magnificent state spectacle.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were the guests of honour, and the Queen noted in her journal: ‘I cannot describe the splendid effect of the music, it was beyond all description & most imposing. Clara Novello’s fine voice sounded so well in that large space. Most conspicuous among the singers were good old Lablache, Formes, & Hözel. After the National Anthem was sung the Address was read by the Chairman, describing the origin & objects of the undertaking & I read my answer. Medals & books were presented. When Paxton came up the steps of the dais, he was immensely cheered, but he himself was low & sad, his dear & revered Master, & benefactor, the Duke of Devonshire being had a stroke, & though going on well, is still feeble & confined to bed. We now walked round the whole building, in procession, after which the 100th Psalm was sung, the Archbishop of Canterbury, invoked the Divine Blessing on this great work, & the Hallelujah Chorus was most magnificently sung. Then, Ld Breadalbane announced that the Crystal Palace was opened. This & the singing of the National Anthem concluded the interesting & really imposing ceremony. I fervently hope that so great & noble an undertaking may be crowned with success. There were immense crowds all along the road.’

So we know Lucian's recording of Petr and Livia typically was taken when Anton was on his trip to make a trade deal/alliance with Valgsland or Lespia. You don't *have* to take either of those trips, although I'm sure most players do. But...what if you don't? How does that affect Lucian's recording?

...did we have a meeting with Deivid in Benfi? I know we had a meeting with Deivid, Iosef, and Lucian where I decided not to meet with Hegel or Alvarez, but I swear it was in Lachaven. I can't easily go back to check, though.

The rest of the conversation:

A poet and a statesman, our Petr Vectern.

I am of course obsessed with all these changes in the dialogue that happen based on your decisions. Suzerain writers, I notice you and appreciate you!

I would like to thank everyone for the birthday wishes. For all the warm words I received. I hope everything comes true! 🥰

My Beloved gave me a birthday photo shoot in the palace. Of course in Christine’s wedding dress. 🥰👰🏼‍♀️ I hope you enjoy the results of our work! Here is one of them. ♥️ Please let’s evaluate my makeup done at 6am. Each of us knows that I’m not the best at it, but this time I really like the effect. 🙈🙈🙈

Explore Vienna’s Imperial Elegance

Start your journey with a visit to the iconic Schönbrunn Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that once served as the summer residence of the Habsburg dynasty. Wander through its opulent rooms and beautifully manicured gardens, and don’t miss the panoramic views from the Gloriette.

Another must-see is the Hofburg Palace, located in the city center. This sprawling complex houses the Imperial Apartments, the Sisi Museum, and the Austrian National Library, each offering a glimpse into Vienna’s imperial past.

Immerse Yourself in Art and Culture

Vienna is synonymous with classical music, and no visit is complete without experiencing its musical heritage. Catch a performance at the Vienna State Opera or attend a concert featuring works by Mozart or Beethoven, both of whom lived and worked in the city.

Art enthusiasts will revel in the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Belvedere Palace, home to Gustav Klimt’s masterpiece, The Kiss. The Albertina Museum is another highlight, boasting an extensive collection of graphic art and modern works.

Relax in Vienna’s Green Spaces

Known as the “Green Heart of Europe,” Vienna is dotted with parks and gardens perfect for unwinding. The Vienna Prater offers a mix of natural beauty and family-friendly fun, with its vast green meadows and iconic Ferris wheel.

For a more tranquil escape, visit the Stadtpark, famous for its golden Johann Strauss statue, or take a leisurely stroll through the Volksgarten, which bursts with vibrant roses in the spring and summer months.

Savor Viennese Cuisine

No trip to Vienna is complete without indulging in its culinary delights. Start your day with a traditional Viennese breakfast and treat yourself to a slice of Sachertorte at one of the city’s historic coffeehouses, such as Café Central. For a hearty meal, try Wiener Schnitzel paired with a crisp local white wine.

Discover Vienna’s Surrounding Vineyards
