completely obsessed w verdi’s 1851 opera about a court jester and a curse. it’s based on a victor hugo play. the 1981 production w pavarotti slaps. pavarotti unmatched. fav song is “Ah! veglia o donna questo fior” which is when rigoletto tells his daughter not to fuck

i take care of my grandma and she likes pavarotti. italian operas are all terribly sexist and have not aged well but his voice is immortal

when I was about 5 years old I saw on tv a performance of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, and I became obsessed with the “Queen of Night Aria” (now I know the names but at the time I thought that was just called “opera” as if it was the only one that existed lmao) and from that moment I decided that my vocation was to scream on a stage (a few years later I became a glee fan… the pipeline…)

i can’t recommend it enough, so much love and care went into this adaptation and the result is the most beautiful and immersive experience ever
and yes ariana grande is that good as galinda, cynthia’s beautiful voice will make you cry, jonathan’s fiyero will literally make you swoon, the sets are stunning, the practical effects are gorgeous and the colour is so fun and vibrant goddd this film deserves the love it has been getting and more!
