The Ship Song Project, Sydney Opera House

The Project is an interpretation of Nic Cave’s iconic “The Ship Song”.

The song itself is performed by Neil Finn, Kev Carmody and The Australian Ballet, Sarah Blasko, John Bell, Angus and Julia Stone, Paul Kelly and Bangarra Dance Theatre, Teddy Tahu Rhodes and Opera Australia, Martha Wainwright, Katie Noonan and The Sydney Symphony, The Temper Trap, Daniel Johns and the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

Sydney Opera House CEO Richard Evans says of the project:

“We set out to create a tribute to the House’s role in the global creative community – a love song to creativity if you wish.”

“We wanted to give people everywhere the opportunity to experience the creative genius that makes this place tick, to get a taste of the artists, venues and other spaces that power the heart that beats beneath our soaring white sails.”

the conundrum of a liberal arts degree

Go ahead. Press play on the song I've included above. I promise it's not a mistake. I have included a recording of New Zealand baritone, Teddy Tahu Rhodes, singing the infamous Toreador song from Bizet's Carmen for your listening pleasure and to be the background music for the following blog post.

This is hopefully the first of many weekly Monday posts, my ADHD willing. I have returned to my 2014 One Direction obsessed roots and have come crawling back to the blogging platform of Tumblr to express my thoughts. Mostly because Twitter stresses me out and I have already scared away too many of my Instagram followers.

So why did you choose to make your readers (hopefully there are more of you than just my Mom) listen to opera as they read your chaotic and unorganized thoughts, Maryn? I'll tell you. I graduated with my bachelors degree in music where I focused my studies on opera and musical theatre performance. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I'm fairly good at what I do and was recognized for my hard work throughout my time as a liberal arts college student. I can sing in four languages, tap dance, analyze 18th century music, and explain to you how Wagnerian opera changed the world and the entertainment industry as we know it. So why the opera? Simply to be pretentious if we're being honest but mostly because I have to have a soundtrack to everything I do and that will now extend to me forcing my readers to live their lives as I do, fully believing that they are the main character and that Bizet orchestrated their lives.

As I laid out in the previous paragraph, I know what I'm talking about and was considered a respected student and performer among my community. Once I graduated I got an incredible performing job (which I still have. It's great, HOWEVER most performing jobs are not full time and do not offer benefits and are not stable. But that could just be on me for wanting to tap dance for a living.) but found myself working a 9 to 5 customer service job to pay the bills. I was terrible at it.

I had visions of working as a florist and being with plants all day (how main character of me) so I took a customer service job in a flower shop. I really loved the people I worked with and it was not a terrible job, but one thing I had failed to realize was that 90% of the work in the floral industry is working in funerals. Customer service for funeral work is not for the faint of heart and ESPECIALLY not for highly sensitive people like myself. I had to make a change when I found myself having to take a walk around the block sobbing my mascara into a dark pool on my cheeks that prompted a rather large and gruff-looking man to yell at me across the street "You okay? You're beautiful, don't let life get you down!"

I was frustrated with myself. I was once one of the most respected lyrical sopranos in my area and here I was, reduced to tears by some woman furious beyond belief over a single Gerber daisy. I voiced my feelings to my friends who are also in the same boat that I'm in, incredibly talented individuals working mundane jobs to pay for their performing careers that may or may not take off. I couldn't help but think of the astonishing vocalists and performers I work with and interact with on the daily and how they are teachers, engineers, and secretaries among many other things. Why do we spend so much of our time honing our craft only to barely use it because it isn't financially lucrative? How do you represent creative people on paper when what we do is emotional and lasts a fleeting two and half hours?

Creative people are problem solvers, empaths, and good at so much more than just singing and dancing, but the problem is we are confined to an 8.5x11 piece of paper that tells indeed.com that we are qualified for jack squat. So that is why I have revived my dormant tumblr blog. To find a creative way to represent myself on paper. (Or in this case, a shoddy html code that I taught myself how to create in high school.) I have a complicated and eccentric personality that takes many a while to get to know and appreciate. Hopefully a weekly post is going to expedite that process. XOXO, future employers. I promise I'm really funny and will find a point to this blog soon.

As we say in the opera world, Toi toi toi!

Hii again! It's your santa :) I hope you had a nice weekend! You said you've been a phan a long time, but were you part of the fandom anywhere in the pre-tumblr days? Do you write fanfiction, or just read it? What are your favorite fan fics? Are you part of any other fandoms?

Hello Santa! I'm so happy to hear from you again :) :)

I had a great weekend, on Saturday I went and saw the opera Faust at the Melbourne Arts Centre and I really enjoyed it 👏 The singer who played Mephistopheles was Teddy Tahu Rhodes and he had such a great voice. Then on Sunday I went to the Big Design Market at the Exhibition Centre, it was HUGE. So much cool stuff, so many little funky designers.

Back in the day I remember scouring the internet for phanfiction as a teenager, but I was a lurker as far as interacting with other people went, I was far too shy back then and probably missed out on making some good friends. I can still hear the good old dial up internet tone, and remember watching pages load excruciatingly slow and or sometimes crash entirely. The pages were so cool though! And so hard to find, it was like finding a treasure if you stumbled on a new one.

I have dabbled in writing some phantom stuff, but nothing complete, I tend to over edit until I can't look at it anymore, shut the lid and walk away. I can hear my favourite high school English teacher screaming about structure every time I try to finish something, I much prefer reading other people's work, I have so many favourites! So many talented people! I'm always too scared to make rec lists or mention individuals because I WILL forget someone. I wish I'd made more effort to save my favourites in FFN but it's a right mess in there. And it deleted a lot of older works from my history/saved ones that I had read at one stage, grrr.

I am relatively new to being in any fandom, actively that is, but the phantom one is the only one I really interact with other people in. I tried to be a bit more proactive in the Discworld one, but I'm convinced there's only 5 people and we're never around in the same decade. I should do some Discworld art and see if it gets any bites lol. Other than that I follow a large number of monster artists, I love cryptids, ghosts and Death, I like medical history stuff too but don't share it much because it's a bit too graphic sometimes... I have a morbid fascination with all of the above.

Are you a big phanfiction reader/writer? And if you are do you have any tips for someone so easily distracted it's painful? XD

I hope you are enjoying the silly season ❤ I absolutely love Christmas but the last few months have been so stressful it feels like a finish line this year, albeit a lovely, festive, finish line 😉🎄

L'amour est un oiseau rebelle (Habanera) by Georges Bizet Produced by Ludovic Halévy & Henri Meilhac Album - Carmen

Habanera (music or dance of Havana, Spanish: La Habana) is the popular name for "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle" ("Love is a rebellious bird"), an aria from Georges Bizet's 1875 opera Carmen. It is the entrance aria of the title character, a mezzo-soprano role, in scene 5 of the first act.

The score of the aria was adapted from the habanera "El Arreglito", originally composed by the Spanish musician Sebastián Iradier. Bizet thought it to be a folk song; when others told him he had used something written by a composer who had died only ten years earlier, he had to add a note to the vocal score of Carmen acknowledging its source. The French libretto was written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy.

En Français

[Carmen] L’amour est un oiseau rebelle Que nul ne peut apprivoiser, Et c’est bien in vain qu’on l’appelle S’il lui convient de refuser.

Rien n’y fait, menace ou prière. L’un parle bien, l’autre se tait. Et c’est l’autre que je préfère. Il n’a rien dit mais il me plait. [Echoes Choeur]

L’amour! L’amour! L’amour! L’amour!

L’amour est enfant de Bohême, Il n’a jamais jamais connu de loi. Si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime; Si je t’aime, prends garde à toi! (Prends garde à toi!) [Echoes Choeur]

Si tu ne m’aimes pas, si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime, (Prends garde à toi!) Mais si je t’aime, si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!

L’oiseau que tu croyais surprendere Battit d’aile et s’envola. L’amour est loin, tu peux l’attendre, Tu ne l’attends pas, il est là!

Tout atour de toi, vite vite, Il vient, s’en va, puis il revient. Tu crois le tenir, il t’evite; Tu crois l’eviter, il te tient. [Echoes Choeur]

L’amour! L’amour! L’amour! L’amour!

L’amour est enfant de Bohême, Il n’a jamais jamais connu de loi. Si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime; Si je t’aime, prends garde à toi! (Prends garde à toi!)

Si tu ne m’aimes pas, si tu ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime, (Prends garde à toi!) Mais si je t’aime, si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!

In English

[Carmen] Love is a rebellious bird That nobody can tame, And you can call him, but in vain, Because it suits him not to come.

Nothing helps, neither threat nor prayer. One man talks well, the other is silent; but it's the other that I prefer. He says nothing, but he pleases me. [Chorus Echoes]

Oh, love! Love! Love! Love!

Love is a gypsy's child, It has never known the law. If you love me not, then I love you; If I love you, you'd best beware! (You'd best beware!) [Chorus Echoes]

If you love me not, if you love me not, then I love you; (You'd best beware!) But if I love you, if I love you, you'd best beware!

The bird you hoped to catch Beat its wings and flew away. Love stays away, you wait and wait, When least expected, there it is!

All around you, quickly quickly, It comes and goes, and then returns. You think you hold it, it avoids you; You think to avoid it, it holds you. [Chorus Echoes]

Oh, love! Love! Love! Love!

Love is a gypsy's child, It has never known the law. If you love me not, then I love you; If I love you, you'd best beware! (You'd best beware!)

If you love me not, if you love me not, then I love you; (You'd best beware!) but if I love you, if I love you, you'd best beware!

Carmen: Richard Eyre’s stunning new production of Bizet’s opera was the talk of the town when it was unveiled on New Year’s Eve 2009. Elīna Garanča leads the cast as the iconic gypsy of the title—a woman desired by every man but determined to remain true to herself. Roberto Alagna is Don José, the soldier who falls under her spell and sacrifices everything for her love, only to be cast aside when the toreador Escamillo (Teddy Tahu Rhodes) piques Carmen’s interest. With dances created by star choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and conducted by rising maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin, this Carmen brings every aspect of Bizet’s tale to thrilling life, from its lighthearted beginning to its inevitably tragic climax.

Freeze Frame Opera returns to the Showgrounds with Puccini’s La Fanciulla del West and Teddy Tahu Rhodes

Freeze Frame Opera returns to the Showgrounds with Puccini’s La Fanciulla del West and Teddy Tahu Rhodes

Homesick miners on the lash, one single girl in an outback town, and a massive power imbalance — what could possibly go wrong? It all does go wrong in Puccini’s cowboy opera La Fanciulla del West (The Girl of the Golden West) yet the glorious tunes, drama and romance shine through, captured in marvellous technicolour by Freeze Frame Opera’s outback take on the original at Claremont…

Asian and Pacific Islander (and diaspora) singers of Western classical music: a list that may actually be slightly more complete than its predecessors

The reason I say that — and why most of these artists are still with us — is that this is a fairly recent phenomenon. Still, I’m bound to have missed some. This list includes East, South, and North Asia; the region sometimes known as Central Asia will get its own list.

Faust

Gounod, performed by Opera Australia

Wednesday, March 11

I went in blind. Although opera is never too hard to follow, it would have been good if I had done some research into at least, the plot of Faust. This was a grand metaphysical production about a deal made at a crossroads. Everything about it was grand, although, being produced by Opera Australia, I would expect nothing less. 

The orchestra was phenomenal, I’m always reminded of how important the music is to the telling of a story, when I go and see something in a language I don’t speak. As an aside, for some reason, I thought that my Year 8 level of French knowledge from 20-odd years ago would assist me, and assist me it absolutely didn’t! I read the surtitles like (almost) everybody else! But back to the orchestra - I wish I could harness the energy of the conductor (Lorenzo Passerini) because he was phenomenal - such a delight to watch!

The costumes were also excellent - although again, Opera Australia. The performances were really good. Teddy Tahu Rhodes as Mephistopheles was enchanting, so much presence! Although, my favourite was Irina Lungu as Marguerite. Her voice - just wow! She hit every note, every emotional set piece. 

I always forget how much I love the Opera until I go and see it, Then it all comes rushing back. 

[spacecowboybriony]

The first scene of Don Giovanni has Teddy Tahu Rhodes prancing around in short shorts and damn his thighs. I hope the next time I get to see him in this opera I can get a better seat so I can ~appreciate~ those thighs closer up
