Totally blown away by "Turn of the Screw" @LAOpera. Patricia Racette is so &$%*-ing cool.

We're back, folks! Let the nerdy opera posts begin!

Our new "Opera in Context" article is up @OperaPulse: http://bit.ly/fu3nPo. Read about convents before heading to Manon @KnoxvilleOpera!

Ben, it's okay. You don't have to go out there and sing 80 million more Heldentenor roles. You can relax now.

I'm sure I was the last to hear about this, but "Holy &$*%!!" Digitized @nyphil archives! http://nyti.ms/gecjuX

I'm thinking about sending a @MetOpera e-card (http://bit.ly/hSUy5P)... Isn't there something more along the lines of "I really like you"?

I've always wondered what "Toi, toi, toi" meant... RT @SeattleOpera Superstitions at the Theater http://goo.gl/fb/hoIAr

Time to buckle down and write about French convents! #Manon

Name That Dame: "Je ne suis pas mauvaise, mais souvent on m'accuse dans ma famille d'aimer trop le plaisir."

Did you make it to Nixon in China @MetOpera last night? Check out how James Maddalena measures up to the real thing: http://bit.ly/eZzLCB

@NashvilleOpera Hey, thanks for the retweet!

I want to see this so badly! RT @culturemonster: @LongBeachOpera stages abandoned opera in abandoned warehouse http://lat.ms/gzCi1G

Watching #MaryStuart keeping Catholicism alive on The Tudors! Thanks to @MNOPERA, you can hear her vocal stylings too: http://bit.ly/giRdrc.

Any Adriana Lecouvreur fans out there? Read what her peers have to say about the real Adrienne: http://bit.ly/hg8UYO.

Houston speed readers: before tonight's Lucia @HouGrandOpera, check out Sir Walter Scott's "The Bride of Lammermoor" (http://bit.ly/hAnP6R).

Holy Grail Update: UCLA Library's copy of "The Art of Gesture" is officially reported as missing. Any good quest needs an obstacle, right?

The Marriage of Figaro opens tonight @NashvilleOpera! Parlez-vous français? Read Beaumarchais' play (http://bit.ly/gI12TM) before you go!
