I've been looking at a bunch of videos of performances of Cesare's arias from Handel's Giulio Cesare in Egitto; the role of Cesare was written for the superstar contralto castrato Senesino. Today it is cast with either a countertenor, mezzo, or contralto. The problem with countertenors is you have a guy playing this tough general while doing falsetto for 3 hrs, the image is bizarre. Senesino would have been using a genuine full head voice. The issue with mezzos and Contraltos in the role is

you have these women playing this very masculine very martial character who's supposed to be this tough battle hardened guy looked up to by his men. And seeing mezzos and Contraltos tromp around huagh in combat boots is also silly and impossible to buy into. So far my favorite performance has been a middle aged mezzo who doesn't play Caesar as a man. she plays Caesar as a weary middle aged woman, ie, without affectation. And suddenly I believe I'm seeing the man himself onstage

I think the issue with the countertenors is we know they are choosing to sing in falsetto. why would Caesar choose to put his voice so high if he actually had a deeper register? And the issue with the mezzos and Contraltos trying to butch up their physical performance is that it just draws attention to the fact that they aren't men. Or, why would Caesar be visibly butching up his body language? With the performer just being authentic my brain can translate that to Caesar the man being authentic

CAESAR: remove yourself from my sight!

@Otttoz @lalchimistadigitale è allucinante vedere, mese dopo mese, sempre più auto mastodontiche in giro per le città. Quelle che una volta erano utilitarie ormai sono dei suv.
E io resto allibito, non mi capacito, di come l gente sia disposta a indebitarsi a vita pur di comprare degli oggetti mangiasoldi (e falciavite) che costano più di una casa.Però, ho anche la sensazione che sia una bolla, e che stia (finalmente) per scoppiare. Non è più una sostenibile, nemmeno economicamente...

Da piccolo di fronte casa c'era il consorzio agrario, vendevano sfuso, la pasta, la farina, lo zucchero, i legumi, ecc.
Ricordo sacchi di vario colore, dei fogli di carta azzurra o crema, le palette d'acciaio per prendere dai sacchi le quantità di merce...
Il lattaio e il panettiere che consegnavano con le biciclette coi cestoni.
Un altro mondo, un'era fa...

@borntyping Anthropic CEO was just tweeting that developers will no longer be writing code in six months, and yet, they just threw a bunch of money at Bun to acqui-hire a bunch of developers. Either he was lying about the "no developers in six months" thing, or he's a phenomenally stupid business man. Bun is MIT-licensed, if Claude can improve and maintain it, or will be able to in six months, why spent all that money on people to do it?
