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…

"The palace is empty

such loneliness,

putting to vain the wish of Chang'e.

Sleeping in solitude"

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. 🙈🙈🙈

You know what would be pretty funny? If a bunch of our main characters (of your choosing (:), had a crush on Cater, and then he ended up in a relationship.

And then all those characters are trying to figure out which one of them it was,

Only for it to be background character number 26 or something /j

my caterella multiverse mind map can get on board w/that kfshfkdsewjfhjgjf caycay the protagonist of an irl dating sim but he just wants to date one of the side characters

Minecraft Build Dive-In: European Palace, V2

So, earlier I posted a few screenshots of various Minecraft build projects I've done over the years. Let's explore the build shown in the first screenshot I shared: a sprawling palace in the style of late 17th-century/early 18th-century Europe, particularly inspired by Versailles and the Louvre!

First off, this build is huge. Like, I used WorldEdit's block-count tool on it as it was in the screenshots above (with interior only in a very few places), added together all the blocks that were the same material, and made some cubes of the top three materials that roughly matched the number of blocks. Here's what that looked like:

Like, just those three types of material alone is a staggering volume @.@

Now, on to the juicy details (and more screenshots)!

Like many of my builds, this actually wasn't my first attempt at this concept. That would be this:

While small, less planned-out, and not done quite as well in my own opinion, this first draft definitely helped solidify a few decisions and techniques, such as on-evens symmetry, the use of diorite as building material, andesite as a contrasting material, and green mansard-style roofs.

The build itself had a long and winding road, with a number of things changing and spontaneous decisions made. The gardens, especially, were a tricky concept; eventually I settled on single-height color-banded flower beds with azalea hedges, after experimenting with various other options and patterns (including hedge labyrinths!). The front radiating hedges were a concept from the beginning, but implementing them actually required me to pull out my calculator and do trigonometry to convert angles to block patterns :P

Unfortunately, as with most of my build projects, this one never got finished. In this case, I found that some fundamental design decisions I'd made at the very start were hamstringing me, and if I wanted to fix them I'd essentially have to start from scratch. So, I started prototyping some concepts for version 3 of this build concept:

Hopefully I'll be able to get a proper third version going sometime!

Boston Opera House, officially Citizens Bank Opera House, is a performing arts theater in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Opened in 1928 as the B. F. Keith Memorial Theatre, a movie palace in the Keith-Albee chain, which became part of RKO just before the theater opened on October 29, thus the theater was known as the RKO Keith's Theater. The theater was designed by prominent theater architect Thomas W. Lamb, and was one of his most lavish designs. In 1965 the Sack Theaters company acquired the theater and renamed it the Savoy Theater. In 1980 the theater closed, but was rededicated and reopened as a home for the Opera Company of Boston formed by Sara Caldwell, which performed there until the opera company closed down in 1990 due to financial problems. The theater was reopened in 2004 after a major restoration, and it currently serves as the home of the Boston Ballet and also hosts touring Broadway shows.
