Jules Massenet-Meditation



Yesterday I went to the Roayl Opera for the reopening of the opera Werther by Jules Massenet.
I knew the story but hadn't heard anything from Massenet before this. I was overwhelmed. What music!
So romantic, beautiful and the orchestra above all did an excellent job. First act we didn't like that much but the second act was astonishing. It's just Werther and Charlotte on stage the whole act and they build up the tension until the last minute. We, my friend Carina, and I was very taken when we came out. And we were not the only one.
When I returned home I wanted to know more about this Massenet and his music so I googled him. He was a French composer and has written 27 operas. Werther and Manon being the most famous. He was born in 1842 and died 1912. When I looked him up I stumbled across a piece from the opera Thais called Meditation.
It was so incredibly beautiful that I have to share it with you. Not to talk about the images that goes with it.
So sit back, relax and enjoy

Furthermore I wish to wish my sister and brother-in-law a very HAPPY 46TH ANNIVERSARY!!
I know you had a great time with your daughters and grandson. See you soon <3 <3

Anyone??

I wonder if anyone can see and read my blogg? I haven't had any comments in so long that's why I ask. Erik didn't win a Grammy last night but he had a blast and he and his fiancé looked just great! Another Swede, Ludwig Göransson, won 3 prices though. Congrats to him.

NEW YEAR

I left you in December just before Christmas with a beginning cold. And of course it bloomed the rest of my leave from work. So I decided to stay home another week so my first day in the new year was yesterday :-) Even if I felt ill we had a lot of fun during Christmas and New Year. The day before Christmas Eve Jonas, Mandy and Eddie came. We did the last Christmas decorations, ate together and had a good time before going to bed. They slept over so in the morning we all had a wonderful Christmas breakfast which, of course, included Christmas porridge (which we only eat once a year) made of rice and to that we had the obligatory Christmas ham sandwich with mustard. This is so good and when you have this you know it's Christmas. Of course I bought the ham from an organic farm where I have been myself. They actually also have a recording studio on the ground so Jonas has been there several times recording bands. Therefore I know the pigs are well kept and have the best lives t...

Hello December

This month started with a tax education, yeah :-) in Uppsala. Since we don't have a goverment yet due to the chaotic political scene after the election, no one actually knows what's going to happen with taxes. It's just guesses. The day after we had Christmas celebration at the Rheumatic district of Stockholm. It was a lot of fun, good food and nice to meet everyone :-) And on Saturday it was time for Christmas lunch with my own Rheumatic local association. We were around 30 members incl. Eddie and Mandy. We had a lot of good food and we had the party at a local hotel here in Väsby in Bredden. There were two other children there so I bought them each a Christmas gift and they were very happy for what they got from the Rheumatic Santa Claus.
