Et tutu, Timothée? Backlash mounts over Chalamet snipes at opera and ballet https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/mar/09/timothee-chalamet-backlash-opera-and-ballet #TimotheChalamet #Oscars2026 #Film #Ballet #Opera #MartySupreme #Stage #Culture #ClassicalMusic #Music #UsNews #WorldNews
"I don't want to be working in ballet, or opera, or things where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this anymore.'," Chalamet said.
"All respect to all the ballet and opera people out there", he quickly added.
It's perfectly ok not to like opera or ballet; it's the patronising "All respect to…" CYA little pat on the head afterwards that makes me want to 🤮.

Happy #BandcampFriday! Recommend me some #ClassicalMusic on bandcamp by a composer I’ve never heard of, performed by someone I’ve never heard of, and I will buy the first recommendation. Define classical music however you like, and I will politely ignore your recommendation if your definition is wrong.
今日は指揮者キリル・コンドラシンの命日。1981年没、享年67。アムステルダムで、テンシュテットの代役で北ドイツ放送交響楽団のマーラーを振ったその晩に心臓発作に見舞われての急死。ソヴィエト亡命組ということもあって、当時は暗殺説まで流れた。
亡命後の活躍ぶりは目覚ましかっただけに残念だった。彼のショスタコーヴィチ交響曲全集は演奏はともかく録音の質が今ひとつなので、出来たら再録を果たして欲しかった。
