Thoughts on Mefistofele recordings? You've convinced me (you and Samuel Ramey) so I'm gonna take the plunge. 😈

Hi! Thank you for asking! I think recordings of this opera are always missing something, because it's meant to overwhelm the audience with sights and sounds. But there are some good ones.

This is also for @skeleton-richard who also asked for recs.

The famous one: SFO 1989

This one has Samuel Ramey in it and it's legendary for a reason. I personally am not a huge fan of the maximalist production style and found it a bit hard to follow. But it's definitely a great performance. Probably the most fun of all of these.

The video quality, video framing and sound quality are not ideal, because it's old. There's a 2013 HD recording of the same production with Abdrazakov and Vargas. Still good, just has no Samuel Ramey in it. Pictures from the 2013 version because they're easier to find.

Also the devil is shirtless in most scenes, whether that's a plus or a minus lies in the eye of the beholder.

The one I personally saw live: BSO 2015

This one blew my little mind back in the day and I'm still not really over it. Especially the tenor Calleja has a fantastic voice for Faust. The stage is really beautiful and there's a whole lot of actual fire. Great busy dramatic crowd scenes.

In retrospect, I don't really agree with some of the production choices, especially the very cynical interpretation of the ending. But the recording has the best audio out of all of these. Perfect sound.

This production has a bunch of gross stuff in it - blood, gore, nudity, dirt, misery, and so on. The director opined that you can't put heaven on a stage so we're just dealing with various degrees of hell here.

The one I like most: Baden-Baden 2016

I've been posting a lot about this one and I'll probably post some more because this suits my taste perfectly. The costumes! The skull! The choreographies! The sound!

Prologue is a bit weird but it always is. After that, this production captures really well how it feels to be a over-educated depressive german academic who wants to be taken on an adventure by a glittering devil beneath a giant skull (and then hates it).

Not recommended to the photosensitive because there's a lot of sparkling and flickering everywhere throughout.

Some others I watched partially / long ago:

Palermo 2008 - didn't like this one overall, but Ferrucio Furlanetto makes a great Mephisto. There is a desperate "devil x person going to heaven" kiss that was blatantly ripped off in a recent TV show.

Staatsoper Stuttgart 2019 - very stereotypical Regietheater that still can't bring itself to let Faust go to heaven. Their Mephisto is very charming. Still wouldn't recommend this one.

Verdict

I recommend SFO 1989, unless you hate old videos in which case SFO 2013 is probably best. They're all on VK. At least the SFO and BSO ones are also available on DVD.

SFO 1989 is also on YouTube with English subs.

The floor plan forms of Hans Scharoun’s buildings by virtue of their organic development are unusually diverse and sometimes hard to read without the real spatial experience. But their complexity isn’t exclusive to well-known projects like the Berlin Philharmonic but is equally present in seemingly straightforward buildings like the Romeo and Julia apartment buildings (1954-59) in Stuttgart: here Scharoun was challenged with a cost-sensitive client but brilliantly realized a broad variety of apartments through extensive play with the floor plans. In a long process Scharoun scrapped, revised and improved plan variants and ultimately arrived at innovative and efficient solutions that Markus Peter and Ulrike Tillmann comprehensively document in their book „Hans Scharoun und die Entwicklung der Kleinwohnungsgrundrisse. Die Wohnhochhäuser Romeo und Julia 1954–1959“, published in 2019 by Park Books. From the Scharoun archive at Akademie der Künste Berlin the authors unearthed a wealth of drawings and plans that make  understandable how the architect experimented with plan variants for the different apartments. Even on not exactly generous 65 square meters Scharoun was able to accommodate parents, children, a designated work niche and two balconies. Expressly the workplace was of great interest for Scharoun since he sought to accommodate both the private and the professional lives of the inhabitants in the contemporaneous information society.

Peter and Tillmann connect these findings with Scharoun’s lectures about the historical development of dwelling typologies as well as the different organizing principles he developed over time: the „Sawtooth Type“, the „Polygonal Apparatus“ and „Multiplication“ are elaborated in individual chapters and the authors successfully lift the veils off of Scharoun’s language.

In summary the book not only sheds light on Hans Scharoun’s ingenious development of small apartment floor plans but also removes them from a strictly historical perspective and demonstrates their relevance for today’s architecture. A real treasure trove!

Ohhh can you do one about the Ramm kiddos?

I know even less about children than about parents and since that doesn't interest me, I won't necessarily go any further (unlike other people in the fandom I'm not the type to go digging through archives or ring the doorbell of guys' families or friends to take a picture with). Likewise, all this information can be found on the internet (the rest I keep for myself).

Till has four children. Nele, the eldest born in 1985, studied theater and literature at FU Berlin. She was the assistant of playwright Sibylle Berg. With her, Nele worked on projects at the Schauspiel in Stuttgart, the Neumarkt Theater in Zurich and the Haus der Berliner Festspiele. In 2017 she completed a course in theater and music management in Munich. She was also the production assistant for the theater play "Hänsel und Gretel" at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg (she also worked with her father). In 2018/2019 she worked in Karlsruhe with playwright Anna Bergmann. Nele is the mother of little Fritz born in 2008. Fritz appeared in the Haifish video. Marie-Louise was born in 1993.

Flake has five children. Including Anna born in 2000 and Mimi who shares the poster with her father of the short film : "Bunker".

Schneider has three boys, the last of whom was born in 2020. He and Ulrike share some photos of their little family on social media.

Paul has two children. Emil born in 1990 and Lilli born in 2001. Emil begins to be quite well recognized with his band Two Colors and his friend Pierrot. You can also follow them on social media.

Ollie has a daughter, Emma born in 2002.

Richard has three children. Khira Li born in 1991, Merlin born in 1992 and Maxime born in 2011. Khira appeared during the song Tier in 1998 during the Live aus Berlin, she also sings the hearts in the song Spieluhr and started a DJ career last year, you can listen to her on different platforms and follow her on her networks. Merlin has made a few appearances in movies and in the modeling world. Maxime appears in some Emigrate video.

That's all.

Submission by soyoulovemehuh

I’m pretty sure it was in 2019 when I saw the documentary “Officers against Hitler” on German television, so it must have been the 75th anniversary of Hitler’s assassination attempt. And there was a short scene in which you can see Stauffenberg, because it was on TV I couldn’t grasp what I saw so quickly, I later forgot about it. The documentary is from 2004 (three parts) and it’s very well made and various contemporary witnesses and people who were there at the time in the Bendlerblock have their say. Some time ago I remembered the whole thing and looked for the documentary online, as I had only seen the first part at the time on TV, and it is indeed uploaded on youtube.

Of course I immediately looked for that scene and found it, but it’s not a close-up, he’s standing in the background and the film material is from the 1930s and therefore not of such good quality, so don’t be disappointed, but we’ll never get anything better from him. The narrator says “Stauffenberg here on a previously unknown film shot with his regiment”. You don’t find out exactly when, but it must have been before the war. I’ve watched it a few times now and at first I was sceptical, I briefly thought “that could be anyone!” BUT THEN he smiles/grins and that got me, because it looks just like that smile/grin we know from the photos! And this is, as I said, a reputable, well made documentary, not some trash. I had cut out the scene, but you can’t upload video from your own hard drive here.

Above the video with the time stamp. If that doesn’t work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lWplcz-pDw&t=398s&ab_channel=Dokus (around min. 6:38 to 6:52)

A dream would be an audio of his voice and walk/movement. His granddaughter, who published a book about him in 2019, said in an interview that according to her grandmother Nina, the actor Sebastian Koch (who played him in the German film “Stauffenberg” from 2004) embodied him best, she (Nina) was thrilled by his performance and has said “that’s how my husband moved, that’s how my husband talked Swabian (the dialect you speak in the region around Stuttgart, among others) when he got together with other Swabians”.

what are some of your favorite closing night performances? as in the actors know it's their last night and are just doing whatever they want/crying because they're sad/breaking the fourth wall/etc?

Honestly, I'm tempted to put every closing performance that I have on bootleg. And I'm going to give into that temptation! I'm going to stick with closing night of an actual production, not last performance of an actor or group of actors or last performance at a certain stop in a tour, otherwise I'll be here a while.

Vienna, 1993 - It's got two members of the original cast back and several funny ad-libs, plus it's one of the earliest videos I have of a production's closing performance.

Hamburg, 2001 - The show itself has some really fun moments, but the real highlight is the performance after, where the cast perform a beautiful, bittersweet combination of 'Think of Me' and 'Music of the Night'.

Stuttgart, 2004 - Three words: the third kiss. (But also Raoul saying "Mamma Mia" as a reference to the next show that was taking over the theater and as a response to Christine, is rather hilarious.)

Sao Paulo, 2007 - The performance itself isn't especially notable in any blocking changes; what is noticeable is the amount of sobbing audience members, especially after the kiss.

Warsaw, 2010 - I haven't even listened to the full audio of this, but it has someone singing along with Christine in 'Think of Me', an extended cadenza, someone going ham with the electric guitar during the title song - definitely one I need to listen in full.

Las Vegas, 2012 - Had a terrific moment where the audience kept clapping at the end of 'All I Ask of You', so Raoul and Christine kept kissing, so the audience kept clapping, so Raoul and Christine kept on kissing, resulting in perhaps the longest R/C kiss on record.

Sao Paulo, 2019 - Nothing too notable about this performance that I've seen, but the audience enthusiasm is so high! There's clapping everywhere!

That's off the top of my head. And if I have a bootleg of a production's last performance and it's not on this list, that's because they, uh, sucked. No, not really; I probably just didn't watch it or couldn't see or hear much that was memorable, maybe due to video or audio quality or lack of interest. Anyway, hope that provided some fun examples of closing night ad-libs!

🔥 Elisabeth unpopular opinions!

I think like 90% of my posts are this... xD But then again, it can be hard to know what opinions are really "unpopular", because there's such an incredible diversity of opinion in the fandom :D

I'm limiting myself to five rapid-fire ones...

1. The Essen/Stuttgart staging/directing and therefore those productions aren't that great or enjoyable to watch jfkgkf. Like, it's more trouble than it's worth, so to speak... It's where Tod's not-that-great costumes come from (Yan Tax made the Essen ones), and in general it's where things started going kitsch with the direction. Plus it has Conspiracy which makes me so mad 🤣

2. KKOG is a better song that Schwarzer Prinz... 😭😂 Listen, the original 1992 "wie du reprise" (mama, wenn ich älter werde...) is the only valid option. Schwarzer Prinz is soo simple and dull in terms of lyrics, and while it's better than KKOG in that at least it's Elisabeth POV, I never listen to it. Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy Vienna 2003-5 doesn't have KKOG.

3. Ajkgkd this is such a random thing that has no bearing on the actual show but every time I bring up my wish to see a woman play Tod in Europe someday, there are at least 10 people who suggest Dutch musical actress Pia Douwes for the part. While I admire Pia and her talent as a performer, these people are ignoring that by saying I want to see a woman as Tod I really mean I want to cast myself. JSKGKDKDKD okay joking but in general I'd love for someone unknown and up-and-coming to do it if it happened, and preferably not a soprano!!!

4. Idk if this is unpopular but Fritz Schmid is a super awesome Rudolf 🥺 It's really him who made a big difference in me getting into Elisabeth so intensely (and staying around for several years). I don't actually find Lukas' or Jesper's performances as "chewable" (ajfkdkdl) and multifaceted, even though I like them very much.

5. Again, don't know if unpopular, but I find the 2005 Prolog without the overlapping lines from different characters better than the 1992/2019/2022 version. Needs a good Lucheni to work, obviously, but I think the overlapping melodies version is a bit on the nose... Unfortunately, considering it happened in Brussels, I think that this version of the opening is becoming a permanent fixture of the show again.
