Giacomo Puccini

Giacomo Puccini is the writer to TOSCA!! Which is now my favorite Opera... which was awesome... when I saw it this morning... I got the orchestra pit... it was soooo cool... usually they give us balocony cheap seats.. but this time.... we got orchestra... I was probally like 15 no more than that away from the stage... it was soo good..... It started right when I sat down for about 30 seconds... which was suprising.... and they always start in time..... never fashionablely late... that's what I love going to Operas.... I went to the Los Angeles Opera .... beautiful place... I usually go there every year to see an Opera... but next year I might go to about 3 more or so... just because ... I can.. lol... anyways.....





That's the Premiere Poster of Tosca... as you can see.... Tosca just killed Scarpia... and he's lying on the ground dead... and Tosca just put two candles beside him... and took Scarpia's cross and lyed it on top of him....





ACT I. The Church of Sant'Andrea della Valle... All the setting is actually an actual place in Rome... Puccini went to Rome just to get every detail correctly... even to the simpliest details such as the correct sounds of the Church bells.....





ACT II. Scarpia's room at the Palazzo Farnese..... This is when Scarpia tried to rape Tosca... and try to make a deal with her.... and this is where Tosca KILLS Scarpia





ACT III. The platform of the Castel S. Angelo... You can see the Church in the background and it's only a half a mile away.... This is where Mario gets shot... and during this scene my favorite song plays









This is the characters that plays in Tosca when I saw them today....
1. Violeta Urmana - Tosca...
2. Samuel Ramey - Scarpia...
3. Salvatore Licitra - Mario...


F0r the people who's intersted what I wore to the Opera... here it is... I gotta take a new one... I look fat in that dress.... haha... oh wells... enjoy





My hair... it's different... heres a close up of it... I HAVE dyed my hair this color before... so it's not really a change...







The story again... just more clearer... for those who are intersted in reading more depth...

Cesare Angelotti, an escaped political prisoner, rushes into the church of Sant' Andrea della Valle to hide in the Attavanti chapel. As he vanishes, an old Sacristan shuffles in, praying at the sound of the Angelus. Mario Cavaradossi enters to work on his portrait of Mary Magdalene - inspired by the Marchesa Attavanti (Angelotti's sister), whom he has seen but does not know. Taking out a miniature of the singer Floria Tosca, he compares her raven beauty with that of the blonde Magdalene. The Sacristan grumbles disapproval and leaves. Angelotti ventures out and is recognized by his friend and fellow liberal Mario, who gives him food and hurries him back into the chapel as Tosca is heard calling outside. Forever suspicious, she jealously questions him, then prays, and reminds him of their rendezvous that evening at his villa. Suddenly recognizing the Marchesa Attavanti in the painting, she explodes with renewed suspicions, but he reassures her. When she has gone, Mario summons Angelotti from the chapel; a cannon signals that the police have discovered the escape, so the two flee to Mario's villa. Meanwhile, the Sacristan returns with choirboys who are to sing in a Te Deum that day. Their excitement is silenced by the entrance of Baron Scarpia, chief of the secret police, in search of Angelotti. When Tosca comes back to her lover, Scarpia shows her a fan with the Attavanti crest, which he has just found. Thinking Mario faithless, Tosca tearfully vows vengeance and leaves as the church fills with worshipers. Scarpia, sending his men to follow her to Angelotti, schemes to get the diva in his power ("Va, Tosca!"). In the Farnese Palace, Scarpia anticipates the sadistic pleasure of bending Tosca to his will. The spy Spoletta arrives, not having found Angelotti; to placate the baron he brings in Mario, who is interrogated while Tosca is heard singing a cantata at a royal gala downstairs. She enters just as her lover is being taken to an adjoining room: his arrogant silence is to be broken under torture. Unnerved by Scarpia's questioning and the sound of Mario's screams, she reveals Angelotti's hiding place. Mario is carried in; realizing what has happened, he turns on Tosca, but the officer Sciarrone rushes in to announce that Napoleon has won the Battle of Marengo, a defeat for Scarpia's side. Mario shouts his defiance of tyranny and is dragged to prison. Scarpia, resuming his supper, suggests that Tosca yield herself to him in exchange for her lover's life. Fighting off his embraces, she protests her fate to God, having dedicated her life to art and love. Scarpia again insists, but Spoletta interrupts: faced with capture, Angelotti has killed himself. Tosca, forced to give in or lose her lover, agrees to Scarpia's proposition. The baron pretends to order a mock execution for the prisoner, after which he is to be freed; Spoletta leaves. No sooner has Scarpia written a safe-conduct for the lovers than Tosca snatches a knife from the table and kills him. Wrenching the document from his stiffening fingers and placing candles at his head and a crucifix on his chest, she slips from the room. The voice of a shepherd boy is heard as church bells toll the dawn. Mario awaits execution at the Castel Sant'Angelo; he bribes the jailer to convey a farewell note to Tosca. Writing it, overcome with memories of love, he gives way to despair. Suddenly Tosca runs in, filled with the story of her recent adventures. Mario caresses the hands that committed murder for his sake, and the two hail their future. As the firing squad appears, the diva coaches Mario on how to fake his death convincingly; the soldiers fire and depart. Tosca urges Mario to hurry, but when he fails to move, she discovers that Scarpia's treachery has transcended the grave: the bullets were real. When Spoletta rushes in to arrest Tosca for Scarpia's murder, she cries to Scarpia to meet her before God, then leaps to her death.









THAT'S RIGHT BITCH!! ORCHESTRA SECTION!!

MY FAVORITE OPERA SINGER... WANT TO IMPRESS ME?? SING LIKE HIM... AND FOR SURE I'LL BE YOURS FOREVER.

PLACIDO DOMINGO...
Not only that he's a great OPERA singer... He's also the Gerenal Director of LOS ANGELES OPERA... I saw him today at the Opera seeing Tosca... it was an Honor... he has a beautiful tenor voice.... He was Mario in Tosca before in the movie... I want it... *Christmas* lol...





Yeppy... that's him alright.... he's sooo good... makes me shiver with his voice...

NEXT OPERA I WANT TO SEE:

PARSIFAL

Of course Placido Domingo is in it as PARSIFAL... It is by Richard Wagner... "Wagner's sublimely haunting score and majestic choruses illuminate the struggle between the Knights of the Holy Grail and a vengeful socerer as they battle for possession of a sacred vessel. A virtuous wanderer fulfills a prophecy that mankind will be renewed through his pity, enabling the Knights to reclaim the Holy vessel and triumph over evil." It is sung in German.. I want to see the Opera... Anyone want to take me?

I DYED!!

ok.... I dyed my hair again... hahaha.... hm... it's hot pink and black... but it don't quite looks hot pink ... but oh wells.... depending how do you see it...






That is when I just washed it.. and it's still wet...




That's when it's dried up.... already

Okie... I can't wait for tommorrow... I'm going to the L.A Opera.... I tell you one day I'll sing there... lol... yeah right... lol.. I'm going to go and see an Opera called "Tosca"... it's a beautiful story... one of my favorite opera... it's about a premadonna... artist... and an police cheif.... the premadonna name is Tosca and the artist's name is Mario... and the Police Cheif name is Scarpia.... About LOVE SEX AND DEATH!! Great story line.... and it's sooo ironic.... Taken place in Rome at a Church... Tosca and Mario are in love with each other...Scrapia is trying to find an escape prisoner and found out the Mario is helping the escape prisoner by not telling Scarpia... Scarpia falls in lust and wants Tosca and threatens Tosca to tell him where the escape prisoner was..... and if she doesn't then Scrapia tortures Mario with Tosca listening to him moan and groan outside.... and finally she gave in and told Scarpia... but then... Scarpia doesn't stop there... so he said he won't kill Mario if she decided to sleep with him... Scarpia wanted Tosca REAL BAD... He loved the ideal of RAPE... and then Tosca agrees only if he doesn't kill Mario.... and so then... he went back to his place and Scarpia is writing the letter to the firing squad.... and Tosca is looking around and sees a knife.... and she waits until Scarpe finished writing... and then STABBED him right in the stomach... *owie* and she runs to Mario to tell him the good news...and all Mario had to do is fake his death to the firing squad and that they won't kill them...and Tosca a premadonna she is tells Mario how it's done by faking it... and then it was time for Mario to get killed... It was on top of this beautiful building... (I'm sorry I forgot what the building was called) so then they shot him *BAM* and he drops to the floor just like he's suppose to... Tosca was on her knees slowly crawling to Mario on the floor... and was like "Good... good... stay down.... quite" etc... and then "Ok.. Mario... get up... they're Gone" and then trys to wake Mario up... but found out that Mario was REALLY SHOT and died!! The Police came... and said Scarpia was killed... and it was killed by Tosca... and tryed to have her arrested... but she jumped off the roof and committed sucide... So in the end.... Really... Scrape didn't actually write the note to the firing squad telling them.... he pretend he wrote it... so that Mario can REALLY die and he can have Tosca all for himself!! GOD... WHAT A GREAT STORY....

There's a quote where Scarpia says to Tosca... that I think is BEAUTIFUL... some how... it's
"YOU MAKE ME FORGET ABOUT GOD" .. how ironic is that... they are in a church........ A CHURCH..... and all Scarpe can think about is SEX... RAPE..... TOSCA... LUST...

ANYWAYS... I love the story...and I'm going to the Opera of "Tosca" tommorrow... and it's going to BE FUN!!

I mean it was predictable so yeah... anyways... I like the first one better... I'm not a big Harry Porter fan anyways.. but watched it because my little brother wanted to...hm.... I notice that my teeth aren't as white as they were... damnit!!! haha... anyways... lets see... I want to get them white... hm... anyways.... nothing is going on here........ let's see.... oh yeah... regarding my performances... it's going to be soon.... in Decemeber though... usually Decemeber is my busiest MONTH ever...

THEY CAN'T KEEP ME SHUT FOREVER!!! I WILL GET OUT!! lol

Anyways... let's see... What's with the title? because Music runs through my vains...

TOTAL DIFFERENT SUBJECT:

Well... let's see.... we got all different types of people in the world... we got asains, blacks, whites, hispanics, etc... all over the world... we also got different types of personailty in the world also... There are nice people, mean people, and people that takes advantage of you and people that take you for granted..... All different types... right?? am I?? People that are nice... seem to know what they want and how they want it without being an asshole or anything... people that are mean are just assholes.. period.. until ... supposely till you get to know them.. and they are suppose to be the most charming people ever?? NO! anyways.. and there's also people that take total advantage of you...They only come to you when they want something... am I right?? Have you met people that are like that?? They only talk to you in a certain way because they want shit... And last but certainly not least... you have people that take YOU for granted.... That's right... let me tell you about people that take you for granted... They really don't know what they lost until THEY LOST IT!! And when I mean lost it... I meant LOST IT ALL!!! Until that person don't even know who the fuck you are... They think just because they have you now doesn't necessary mean they can kept you for long.... If that person is sooo special to you and you love them sooo much why do you do it?? huh?? why??? why take people for granted?? Don't you know that it hurts the other person more than you think...?? If you treat someone one way... and you treat them like a queen... and then treat someone else another way that you love now a different way... and way less valueable... aren't you taking them for granted??? God... It's sooo hard to explain... only if I could... I would do a better job... but right now I'm just talking outta my ass.... but what happens... if one day.... and it's a big IF.... what if one day.. that person isn't in your life anymore?? what if she/he disappears?? and what would you do?? cry??? beg??? and at that moment you know for sure that you took everything for granted... You want to love the surroundings... whatever around you.... look around... see it clearly... breath it in... and love it!! because you might never know that one day it might just vanish...

Audioslave

First I want to start off by saying that Chris Cornell is a sex symbol.. because he's amazingly gorgeous.... and not to mention that he has a most beautiful voice... I went to the audioslave concert yesterday... it was good... I gotta admit better than the one I went to the last time with Rob Zombie, Anthrax and Judas Priest... ok... now... a bit moshing going on here and there...pretty bareable... no problem... other than the fact that I was wearing a skirt.. and I got my crotch kicked... hair pulled... face elbowed... dry humped.... back punched... everything else... anyways... but it was fun I mean... no doubt... I don't know.. but I really thought I was going to enjoy it more... but actually honestly... I didn't....I mean I love the music... it was great and everything... and people were singing-a-long and shit... but then... why be down here when you can be up there??? right?? Why sing their songs.. when you can have people sing your songs... I saw all the fans... you got pretty good variaty of ages... from 14-50+ or so... and they love the singers there... and you can see the musicians enjoying every bit of it... Soaking it all in!! It feels great when you know that you have people there to admire you and such... it feels great when you can be on stage and do whatever the fuck you want regards they love you or not... because being on stage is a feeling no one can take away from you.... Being on stage makes WHO you are!! I know because... that's me.... I love the stage!!! I want the stage... I'll die knowing that the stage is where I belong and where I die crying for! I don't want people singing for me... I want people singing WITH me.. I want whats feels good... and what feels good... is music..... and music... is the only thing valuable in my life....

CONCERTS...

Alright!! Who doesn't like going to concerts??? I sure do!!! I love concerts... whoever wants to take me to a concert... I'll never say NO!! lol... I love them... I love every kind of concerts.... haha... sounds like I'm doing a dating adverstiment... anways... but I do love giong to concerts.... it's the best thing in the world.... I love how you can get DRUNK from the music.. and such.... Tonight I'm going to another concert... Audioslave with Seether.. and 30 seconds to Mars... I never heard of the last band... but I like Audiosalve and and Seether... they kick ass... so anyways.. yeah... let's see.... I saw Tony Bennett.... (I think that's how you spell his name) he's great... I loved it... I saw him in Hollywood Bowl.... I sang there the same month.. I think... it was soo cool singing there... can you imagine... I sang there... that was such a RUSH!! I was on stage singing there... even though there were other people too.... I met Eric McCormak (Will and Grace).... Jason Alexandar (Seinfield)... Anne Hathaway (Princess Daries, Whipped) and Bernette Petters (Steve Martin's ex... The Jerk) that was AWESOME!!













Getting off topic... Concerts are great... they make you feel real.... and the music.. you can feel your whole body tingle.... You can feel every part of your muscles tighten.... and you can see the singers in person... I gotta admit I'm star struck even though i know that they are just people... but people that are famous with a hella lot more money and passionate about music than any people out there... I love music... I want to be part of it... I want to be able to SPILL my heart out and SING!!

I know I can do so... I know I'm not nervous... even though there might be a butterfly here and there... anyways!!!! I love it... I die for it!! I live on stage... NOTHING can get me out of it.. Since I was 3 years old... I've been on stage... I partically DO EVERYTHING ON STAGE...I'm myself on stage... especially when I sing.... I do acting also.... as for acting... I can do whatever the fuck I want..... "DON'T THINK JUST FART" That's what my drama teacher told me... and now.. I love acting also... but probally not as much as I love singing... because singing you can be yourself.. and acting you can be whoever you want... and that's a great thing too... they can laugh AT YOU... they can LAUGH WITH YOU!! because you know and they know that it's not really you!! and also that if you choke...you can ad lib... as for singing.. you can't really ad lib it.... because how can you ad lib a note??? right??? am I right or am I right??? anyways... getting off track again!!! Maybe because I'm just waiting for someone to pick me up right now to go to the show... and he's like putting gas in his car right now... I gotta go to more concerts... lately.... I'm okie... I gotta go to local band concerts... more!! I miss it!!! I LOVE LOCAL BANDS...new talent.. and new faces... NEW music!!! expertimental music... and I love that too.... Not to mention some of them are pretty good looking... anyways... I dig musicians... so yeah... lol... anyways... musician is good.. but there is also older hott, sexy people...I see... I GOTTA GO!! One more picture for you beautifuls...

Heylo there!!

Ok... now... here are just some weird photos of me.... haha... such a camera whore... anyways.... lets see... what's new??? well.... I have never gotten a nose bleed before... I thought I was a weird child growing up because I never got one... so I would actually punch my nose... or pick my nose till it bleed...but I was never successful doing so.... and lately...
