I really wish this Eugene Onegin didn't have two intermissions. Going straight from Lensky's death to the polonaise without even a pause is really great drama.

Philip Glass is easily the most overrated living composer of opera.

His operas all sound the same (with minor exceptions) and are boring (with no exceptions).

People who say, "and you know what happened to the Roman Empire" have no idea what happened to the Roman Empire.

@mbutverkauft Triggered is to today as "Politically Incorrect" was to the 1990s.

And oh look, Bill Maher used both.

Singer I follow: tweets support of a singer accused by many people of sexual harassment.

Me: I guess that's understandable, as they might be personal friends with that singer.

Singer I follow: retweets B&n Sh*p|ro

Me: *unfollows*

@Rialisms Thinking about you today, sending you good thoughts.

[Luci Christian @lucilovesmic]

Scenes from @Kumoricon. Thanks so much, everyone! ♥️

[Opera Cascadia @OperaCascadia]

@lucilovesmic @kumoricon My niece is the Ochako in the first set of these pics. She was thrilled to meet you, and you helped make her first convention a great experience. She can't wait for her next con. Thanks so much!

@intercitytransi I liked it, I liked that you can enter via either door (although I didn't take advantage of that option), I liked that it's an express. I may well make it a regular part of my commute in future.

[Opera Cascadia @OperaCascadia]

I'm on the very first The One bus from @intercitytransi.

Life is too short to listen to Philip Glass operas.

[Opera Cascadia @OperaCascadia]

I hope @Rialisms has a great week.

Just get a regular transit ticket and pay full price to the museums you want to. You'll save money.

[Opera Cascadia @OperaCascadia]

So, when visiting Vienna, do not buy the City Card. It is a lousy deal.

A typical city card is quite a bit more expensive than a simple transit card, but it includes a lot of free admissions. The bonus is going to some museums that you wouldn't otherwise.

[Opera Cascadia @OperaCascadia]

However, the Vienna City Card does not have free admissions, it has discounted admissions. And lousy discounts at that. Like 15€ to the Kunsthistorisches Museum instead of 16€. One lousy euro cheaper.

I wish I could shake everyone's hand. It was so good.

[Opera Cascadia @OperaCascadia]

Just had perhaps my best night in the opera house in my thirty years of attending performances. I just saw Julietta by Martinu in the Dvorak theater in Ostrava, Czechia, and it was absolutely fantastic.

[Opera Cascadia @OperaCascadia]

I first heard a recording of Julietta probably twenty years ago and fell in love with it. But I despaired that I might never get a chance to see it in person. That I could, and that it was so magnificently performed made this a memorable evening.
