Santé !

Thanks ! 🙏

And she’s wrong it was Friday and I looked way more scary before the mask due to two full days of migraine.

Starting a new job tomorrow. Am doing a Korean collagen face mask to look fresh on my first day.

Thanks ! They were supposed to be a tribute to Kandinsky but they look more like a tribute to Matisse 🤷🏻

More enamelling. Results in 3 weeks.

I am disoriented… I keep opening Facebook instead of Bluesky because the apps are next to each other on my screen and now are the same colour 😫

Mine went from ex-Twitter blue to Facebook blue this morning.

The colour of the Bluesky app has changed. I am unsettled.

Suite à la disparition soudaine de Pierre Audi en mai dernier, l’auteur et metteur en scène Ted Huffman est nommé Directeur Général du Festival d’Aix-en-Provence pour lui succéder. Sa personnalité pourrait aisément faire écho à l’identité du Festival.

Dear Italy, if you’re no longer happy with Jannik Sinner you can give him to us. We don’t care if he speaks German, Italian or Volapuk. Yours sincerely, France.

BELLINI, La Sonnambula - Palerme - Forum Opéra Depuis au moins un siècle avant La Sonnambula, le thème du somnambulisme comme celui de l’amnésie ou de la déraison avait nourri nombre d’œuvres dramatiques (1). Le livret est connu (repris d’un balle...

Je me suis ennuyée ferme. Autant la relation mentor/élève et la partie piano est intéressante, autant l’histoire d’amour cucul la praline est insupportable et artificielle. Malheureusement c’est cette partie-là qui prend le pas sur l’autre. Charlotte Rampling disparaît bien trop vite de l’écran.

Cédric Jimenez is really a great blockbuster maker. Chien 51 is one very good movie!

Funny, fixing plumbing leaks is what I did all afternoon.

One of my all time favourites

We’re not nostalgic, just unimpressed by filters and buzzwords. We built resilience before hashtags made it cool — and we’re still standing. That’s Gen X.

We can smell BS faster than Wi-Fi, and while everyone’s chasing “work-life balance,” we’re just trying to find our reading glasses. We’re raising kids, managing parents, reinventing careers, and pretending we’re fine with TikTok.

We don’t trust authority, won’t ask for help, and still know every word to a song we haven’t heard since 1987. Our backs hurt, but our instincts are spot on. We grew up when “be home by dark” was a safety policy and “figure it out” was parenting advice.

Saw this on Threads and thought it was spot on.

Gen X in a nutshell. We’re 45 to 60, old enough to remember life before the internet, young enough to still wonder how we became the adults in the room.

Masterpiece

Agreed. Saw Maltman as Iago at ROH and he was as handsome as Don G.

I only saw it in DVD but it’s just amazing work.

Her Theodora and Pelléas are amongst my all time favourite stagings… I really hope someone convinces her to stay. Singers who worked with her should talk to her.

Terrible news for opera. I know not everyone enjoys her stagings but nobody can deny that they are beautifully crafted, directed and thought. I hope she reconsiders.

Less than 10 days until we’re allowed to unfreeze Mariah Carey!

After deliberations lasting into the night, the American pianist Eric Lu has won the ’25 Chopin Competition.

It was his 2nd attempt. Ten yrs ago he came in 4th.

He already enjoys a busy career but says “This is a dream come true”.

Congrats dude!
