Reflections on Russian Nihilism: Wein, Weib und Gesang > 자유게시판

I'm tired because of the drop in temperature and the disappearance of the sun. It looks like it's going to get warmer in the evening. When I went to the butcher in the morning, I saw a mask sign. If I'm asked to wear one, I'll comply. It's a small space, so the vendors are not protected.

I received an email from the Festival Theater in Baden-Baden, saying that they want you to wear a mask while you're there. Personally, I'd like to take it off at least during the performance. It's strange to make people wear it in the venue, which is supposed to be air-conditioned while serving food. Or it's strange to pack the customers in. If they're not going to sell it to the full capacity, they should have limited it from the beginning.

At least on the first day, it was relatively well-sold, and the next day it was only sold as a middle hall, and the seats have already been changed, so I don't intend to move, and there aren't many empty seats. So I'm trying to be quiet, but after that I'll move to an empty seat. Of course I'll take off my mask.

Lufthansa will also be lifting the mask requirement from May, so masks are strange at that point. Indeed, in Germany, there are still times when about 300 people die every day, so it is not the number of Ukrainian citizens who died. It could not have been avoided even by wearing a mask. What are they trying to do now? Many deaths can be avoided with a vaccine, at least in Omicron, the number of deaths has decreased, and ICUs are vacant. But people still die. Even if we control the infection rate with masks, won't people just die sooner or later?

In Germany, the biggest political goal right now is to establish herd immunity so that social life can be possible regardless of corona from this fall. All this can be achieved on the premise that the medical system does not collapse. There was simply nothing more that society could do.

I played the recording of the Liceu conducted by Petrenko until the end. The Countess Obraztsova, who appears as a ghost, also sings powerfully and has excellent expressiveness. The meaning is completely different from the role in Vienna where Medl "performed under his old name", and since his name was mentioned in the list of those who supported Putin's military invasion the other day, he must have been in good health until his death. This Easter will be sung by Doris Soffer, who was active in "The Nose" in Munich last fall, but we cannot expect such a great singing voice, and instead, she will sing a completely different character. This production may hold the key to a lot of things. I realized that the scene with Lisa and the casino scene that followed would be difficult to resolve musically unless the direction and music fit together. Petrenko's conducting also has a youthful feel to it, and the first thing to consider is whether this will be the best performance in history.

"Fedora" in Frankfurt, which opened on Sunday, is also well-received. Not only is Roy's direction good, but the two main characters look good, and even if it is not the pair of Asmik Grigorian for whom I bought tickets, the conductor also looks good and it seems worth it. In particular, the subject of the thriller, the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881, is in the same vein as Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Turugeev, and its nihilism is depicted here as well, in the same way as described above.
