„Ihr kommt mich besuchen? Das ist nett!
Ihr lieben Kinder, so rund und fett!“

😀 What a coincidence to see this great illustration! I’m currently getting back into the witch for our Hänsel und Gretel production!

Bella figlia dell’amore,
schiavo son dei vezzi tuoi
con un detto, un detto sol tu puoi le mie pene, mie pene consolar.

Vecchia zimarra, senti,
Io resto al pian, tu ascendere
Il sacro monte or devi.
Le mie grazie ricevi.

I wonder if I’d get lonesome fer the valley though
Fer the sound of crickets
and the smell of pine straw
Fer soft little rabbits
and bloomin’ things
An’ the mountains turnin’ gold in the fall

But I could always come back
If I got homesick fer the valley
So I’ll leave it someday
and see fer myself
Someday I’ll leave
an’ then I’ll come back
When I’ve seen
what’s beyond them mountains

Dich, teure Halle, grüss’ ich wieder, 

froh grüss’ ich dich, geliebter Raum! 
In dir erwachen seine Lieder, 

und wecken mich aus düstrem Traum.

Da er aus dir geschieden,
wie öd’ erschienst du mir!

Aus mir entfloh der Frieden,

die Freude zog aus dir.

I wonder what it’s like out there
Out there way beyond them mountains
Where the folks talk nice an’ the folks dress nice
Like ya see in the mail order catalogs

I aim to leave this valley some day
An’ find out for myself:
To see all them tall buildin’s and all the street lights
An’ to be one o’them folks myself

Und der Haifisch
der hat Zähne
und die trägt er
im Gesicht.
Und Mac Cheese der
hat ein Messer
doch das Messer
braucht er nicht.

An ‘nem schönen
blauen Sonntag
liegt ein satter
Mann am Strand
und ein Mann geht
um die Ecke,
den man mac cheese
Esser nennt

One of these mornings
You’re going to rise up singing
Then you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take to the sky

But till that morning
There’s a’nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

– Summertime, from George Gershwin‘s opera Porgy and Bess

✒️ Some think I married the prince because of his name. To them I say: listen to the way he talks about me when I'm not in the room, and tell me that you wouldn't love him as much as I do!

“She shines like a star
in the night‘s darkest hour, in a pure, clear sky,
and to me she always appears
in the radiant,
radiant nimbus of an angel!”

(Enjoy Bass Johannes Seokhoon Moon’s singing Prince Gremin’s aria!)

«Ahimè, l'infranto core
più reggere non può!
Se qui rimango, esanime
a’piedi suoi cadrò, cadrò!»

— Luisa in Giuseppe Verdi’s opera Luisa Miller

(Alas, the broken heart cannot hold any longer! If I remain here, I shall fall lifeless at his feet!)

🎨 Blessings in Disguise, Arthur Hughes,1869

« Je me suis réveillée toute contente parce que
c’était un rêve, et quand j’ai su que c’était vrai,
que j’étais seule, que je n’avais pas la tête sur
ton cou, j’ai senti que je ne pouvais pas vivre. »

— Elle in Francis Poulenc’s opera La voix humaine

(I woke up all happy because it was a dream, and when I realized it was true, that I was alone, that I didn't have my head on your neck, I felt I couldn't live.)
