Controversial opinion: Protest at operas. Art is protest, protest is art. Were telling stories on that stage that aren't going to be destroyed by a momentary pause for a good cause. If we can't use our platform to allow for the people's voices to be heard, what can we use it for?

21 days and 8 performances of Handel's "Messiah" later, I'm on my holiday break! Last night's sold out concert at Carnegie Hall was the perfect way to end a whirlwind of music, community, and lots of good eats. Now for a few well earned days of rest before the next gig πŸ’•

Hey gang, don't forget that literal supervillain, immigrant (I thought we didn't like those now?), and emerald mine apartheid benefiting spoiled brat El*n essentially bought and bullied his way to being the primary financier and puppeteer of the Tr*mp presidency.

And he named it after a stupid fucking meme. The manchild doesnt even have a good sense of humor, so all we can do is laugh at him rather than with him.

But I guess enjoy the super cool American apartheid that's on its way, along with your cheap eggs and tariffs that you idiots who voted for him don't even seem to understand.

Just had someone scream "Nig*er!" at me for simply walking down the street tonight. In case you were wondering how things are going in America.

The theme to the new Dragon Age playing in the background of my election night doomscroll has truly riddled my body with anxiety. The power of music is no joke, but also this was how I found out the composers for The Veilguard are Hans Zimmer & Lorne Balfe?!

This election season is making me go gray*, I can't wait to not get a million calls and texts a day because I live in Philadelphia and everyone wants our votes. *Spiritually, not literally. This is for "La bohème" at San Diego Opera, but the concept stands.
