Every week I'll post a play, opera and ballet, and next week you discuss which ones you watched and want to discuss For this weekTheatre: Tartuffe by Molière Theatre Odeon production with English subtitles (b23.tv is bilibili, Chinese YouTube, basically)https://b23.tv/jFjtyzdEnglish audio productionhttps://archive.org/details/moliere-tartuffe-1968-hutt-rain-henry/Moli%C3%A8re_Tartuffe+1968+Hutt+Rain+01.01.+Part+I+Beginning+(Act+I%2C+scenes+1%2C+2%2C+3%2C+4%2C+5).mp3For the opera, this week is the Barber of SevilleMy favorite production https://b23.tv/5VUvbtkA more traditional production https://b23.tv/jpFjxShA film version https://youtu.be/4j_1dO4bxmIFor the ballet we have Giselle. Here is a quick overview if you are unfamiliar with it and would have trouble following the narrative: https://www.rbo.org.uk/ballet-essentials-giselleMy favorite production: https://b23.tv/dCVVnmVNow ballet, being much more visual than other theatre, is a sticker for traditional staging, and Giselle in particular generally even maintains the same choreography. So I won't bother linking other performances of it, but there are countless ones you can findHowever there is an outstanding remake of Giselle which changes the staging and music and choreography. I consider it every bit as good as Giselle properhttps://b23.tv/zNsolT3Suggestions for our choices next week, and productions you wish to see, are welcome
>>25041967>and next week you discuss which ones you watched/tv/
>>25042006/tv/ doesn't deal with stage, /lit/ does although it's mostly Shakespeare and Greek drama.
I don't have the attention span to watch anime or movie with subtitles. Stage production with subtitles is a whole new level of autism when the greatest plays were written in English and English has lots of musical productions
If you have never attended a play, an opera, or a ballet, then you are an art virgin, which is much much worse than being a real virgin. Being without sex has caused frustration and pain and loneliness that inflamed the creativity of many great writers and artists, as much as sex inflamed the creativity of others. But if you have never gone to a performance, you only understand art as someone who only watches porm understands sexo
>>25042951Make sense. Theatre is the culmination of all the creative arts. Movies are a close second, but the live performance takes on a continual ritualistic element. But as we all know, poetry is the backbone of all art
>>25042954Poetry is performance art. It is written specifically with the sound and rhythm and aural qualities in mind, and it is much more dependent upon the performer than music is. You can of course read poems to yourself, and some plays were even written to just be read, closet dramas. But poetry is intended as a mutual experience to share with others, to be read at gatherings or to a friend or lover. To just read it to yourself in private is like masturbating. We all need to do it, life is unbearable otherwise. However that doesn't mean poetry is not primarily for performance
Finally s good daily thready cappy. I love plays.Why not upload on YouTube? I don't think many plays are copyrighted material.
>>25043003Plays are typically not, good productions of them generally are though. Same applies to ballet
>>25043020So you're helping China steal from America? You're part of the problem, faggot
>>25043077NTA but fuck AMERICA.ALL MY CHUDDIES LOVE RUSKIES ,IRISH ,JAPAN AND CHINKS.
>>25043117You could have just said you're a cuck
>>25042954Anyone who takes poetry very seriously would learn as many new languages as possible since poetry is the one art form that nigh inaccessible otherwise
