Time well wasted #28

ETO - Rumbled

The ETO was back in Luxembourg this week thanks to the EME Foundation.

This week we said goodbye to a long-time colleague and a student who gave us a hand for two months. *sigh* Life goes on… But time certainly doesn’t fly. In fact, if it went by any slower, I’m sure it’d come to a halt. I mean, can we throw that end-of-season party already? One more week to go… To help you kill time and waste it wisely until then, here are our best catches from the web. More

You may not know this but every artist who performs at the Philharmonie leaves a note in the guest book. I had to go through each of them (one for each season) this week and this brought back memories. Memories of artists whose train was delayed so long they almost didn’t make it to the concert, who braved a famous Icelandic volcano to get here or who did make it to Luxembourg but without luggage. One thing struck me though: Sure, there’s very often a note about the acoustics or the architecture but more often than not artists have a nice word for the people they’ve met and by “people” I mean you and us. They remember the (not so) little things we do for them and they remember the audience. This hall is one of the country’s most famous landmarks but at the end of the day we (you and us) bring life to it. And on this bombshell… here are a few links to make your long weekend even better!

Le Grand Auditorium, cette salle obscure

Ciné-concert

Depuis son ouverture, la Philharmonie organise des soirées cinéma. Une idée saugrenue pour une salle de concerts? Pas vraiment, puisqu’il s’agit bien entendu de ciné-concerts, en partenariat avec la Cinémathèque. L’équilibre parfait entre les images et la musique, clé de voûte de ce genre de soirées, est assuré par les musiciens, funambules dans la pénombre. Le rôle de ces propagateurs d’émotions se doit être mis en lumière. More

It’s almost the weekend. A long, sunny weekend. Some of you will enjoy a whole week off, maybe go abroad for a few days. While you’re out, soaking up the sun, you may want something to read. Nothing to difficult or too long, something interesting that you don’t have to read in one go because you’re falling in and out of slumber or because the kids need you to refill their bubble maker. Rejoice: this post is made just for you. More

Bruits de coulisse: ce que vous ne verrez jamais

Régie à l’Opéra Comique (photo: Eric Chenal)

Il faut s’imaginer les vieilles maisons, le plancher lustré des siècles durant, les chaises dures au dos et les caves pleines de fantômes… L’odeur du bois partout, les costumes par centaines entassés au grenier, les mots maudits et les couleurs à bannir! Il faut se l’imaginer comme ça – et puis l’oublier ! Les vieilles maisons, c’est un bobard de comédien pour faire rêver le public et laisser place au « willing suspension of disbelief » de Coleridge. Ça se voit beaucoup dans les films, de moins en moins dans la réalité. More
