Maine's Opera Houses Are the Light on Main Street https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/arts/music/maine-opera-houses.html #Arts #Opera #Culture

This is my week for unexpected opera treatments. Tonight is the Opéra National de Paris and their production of Hamlet. This plot is wack. Gertrude and Polonius were in on the murder plot. The Ghost is dressed as a mime or clown, in white with sparkles. Hamlet appears genuinely mad with no cunning. Or maybe he just can’t act? Let’s see what the ending brings. The singing is lovely. #Opera

🐒 NEW: Indri #lemurs, #Madagascar’s only #singing #primates, open their mouths wider to hit higher pitches, a vocal technique that parallels human #opera singers. Motion-tracking analysis of #video recordings showed that mouth openings track pitch changes, helping calls carry across dense #rainforest for social bonding and territorial warnings. 👉 https://www.popsci.com/environment/lemurs-opera-singers-share-vocal-technique/ #animals #vocalization #evolution #research #biology #sound #science #forest #wildlife #mammals

新乐季开始了……柏林音乐节买了一些。第一场是……里盖蒂的大恐怖。把这种曲子放开场，也挺有意思的。开始还有人讲话，大意就是勿忘民主，不要再一次纳粹大屠杀（……）之类的…… 不过演的是英语的版本。说在芬兰时演得是芬兰语的版本。可能因为对白比较多，学说德语有点困难……是带服装带表演的，并且还挺符合原剧本的。 #都是我辛辛苦苦听的 #Ligeti #Opera

23 hours of Wagner on rock-hard seats in a heatwave: a critic survives Bayreuth's 150th Ring Cycle anniversary https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/aug/10/wagner-marathon-bayreuth-ring-cycle-anniversary How does it feel to be locked into a venue notorious for its unpadded seating to experience a full-throttle Ring cycle and more? Our critic found out at the 150th anniversary of the mighty Bayreuth… #culture #opera #classical

A virginal Salome! It does contain a few scribbles in the list of roles from 1913, but the rest of the pages are completely free of annotations! I tried desperately to find a score without the clutter of the English version in it. There are also small additional notes for the differing rhythms. That’s very confusing to work with! I went back and forth on whether I should write into it, and decided not to. I’m having a copy made to work with instead! #opera #Salome #Strauss #operaSinger

It turns out if you want last minute tickets to an event via hoopla, then you are out of luck. Apparently the event has passed, despite being more than two hours before curtain up. #lillesand #norway #opera #hoopla

Ok #startrek folk. #Klingon culture rewards those who live an honorable and worthy life. It's heavily focused on military, battle, loyalty. We know farmers exist. We know scientists exist. And in some parts of trek we see the inevitable clashes that occur. But we also know that #Opera is important to Klingon culture. Except, I've never really seen the pipeline to Klingon music or culture explored thoroughly. Is it honorable for a Klingon to enter the musical career? Must they first prove their power on the battlefield before switching to opera and telling the tales of the great and glorious? I'd never thought about it... until... just recently. And now I can't get it out of my head. No, I've not seen Academy - I'm waiting for the fall to binge watch it all. But.. Yeah. School me on this people. As a former professional oboist (before I become an EV journalist) I'm curious.

As ClickFix and social engineering attacks are ever growing and evolving into new forms while remaining the same at their core, Opera took the security of their users into their own hands and released a feature called "Paste Protect" that is an integral part of their browser to protect users against ClickFix type of attacks. Firefox and Chrome should take Opera’s approach as an example and implement something similar, since the vast majority of the web browser market belongs to Chrome, followed by Safari and Firefox, which both use their own rendering engine that is not based on Chromium. #WebBrowsers #Opera #OperaBrowser #Chrome #Firefox #BrowserSecurity
