nlkflint Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 I could not imagine what this was about until I clicked on the link. Still laughing out loud. :rolleyes: Link to comment
zerbinetta Posted November 12, 2003 Author Share Posted November 12, 2003 I'm surprised Frank Corsaro didn't think of it first .. or perhaps he did! Link to comment
Watermill Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 What would this be called in ballet, a "grande lune de recourbement"? Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Remembering Wagner, maybe he would have wished that he'd thought of it first! Link to comment
zerbinetta Posted November 12, 2003 Author Share Posted November 12, 2003 What would this be called in ballet, a "grande lune de recourbement"? Very good! or perhaps "attitude lunaire"? Link to comment
Watermill Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Of course, Mel, Wagner would have orchestrated the gesture with a multi-chord sforzando from the brass section. With extra euphoniums for emphasis, eh? Now that's what I call Gesamtkunstwerke! Link to comment
Guest Zarafa Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Actually, I think Noel Coward got there first - when one of his earlier plays was unpopular with the audience, he did the very same thing. With a lot of panache, according to contemporaneous reports. Ah, the grand traditions of theatre! Link to comment
zerbinetta Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 Do we have any posters in Brazil (Gomes/Korbes fans?) who can let us know how the situation shakes out? Will he pay the fine, go to jail? or will they come to their senses? Link to comment
