JD “I don’t give a shit” Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the “highest and best use of the military.”
Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird?
Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation??…
🚨 In the past 24 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported an additional 84 killed and 338 injured arriving at hospitals. At least 17 aid seekers were killed and 174 were injured.
👉 This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 64,231 and 161,583…
We are nearly 2 years into a genocide paid for with our tax dollars. If you are a political commentator and you are too afraid to consistently speak out against it, you are beyond pathetic. If you are actively supporting and enabling you are beneath contempt, participating in…
The Economist -- which supported Israel's attack on Gaza from the start -- surveys all evidence and definitively declares: "catastrophic levels of hunger have been confirmed."
Famine now in every region. More than 15% of young children are severely malnourished. All worsening.
Ottavio is all business.
There are two performances left, and that means tonight (and Saturday evening)!!

That Mozart did some real swashbucklin’ when he wrote one of the greatest works of art I’ve had the luck to get to know through many performances as Don Ottavio. I’m pleased as rum punch to get to sing in this masterpiece again soon at the Metropolitan Opera, albeit in a more, modern, gun-not-cutlass production of DON GIOVANNI with a knockout cast headed by the @metopera Principal Guest Conductor, the brilliant and buoyant @danielerustioni.
Fun fact: Don Giovanni premiered #OTD in Prague in 1787.

Grateful for the wonderful memories from our WINTERREISE last week.
Many thanks to @brooklynartsongsociety for the invitation to take part in the epic Schubert marathon, to my amazing colleagues who I was honored to share the stage with—especially dear Ken Noda—and to the incredible audiences who shared the journey with us throughout the day. Hats off to Mike Brofman (@mlb763) for the tireless work he does to bring this vibrant organization to Brooklyn. We need songs and Mike is doing important work. Please do what you can to support the @brooklynartsongsociety

Can’t wait to perform Winterreise tomorrow with my long-time collaborator, Ken Noda. Here’s a moment from our performance of Schumann’s Dichterliebe, Op. 48 — Hör’ ich das Liedchen klingen — with the @chambermusicsociety of Lincoln Center.
Join us tomorrow for Schubert’s masterpiece with the @brooklynartsongsociety. Our Winterreise is at 5 p.m. at @roulette_intermedium as the 2nd part of part of an epic day of Schubert song cycles, beginning with Die schöne Müllerin and concluding with Schwanengesang.
I’m also looking forward to reuniting with the wonderful musicians of the @chambermusicsociety in December for performances of Bach Cantatas!

Gotta give it up to the guy who started it all…my man, Sophocles (in my old Astoria stomping grounds).
Tonight was the last performance of our fantastic production of Oedipus Rex (Jocasta‘s Line) by @studiowaynemcgregor at @operaen_ Thank for to the wonderful cast and crew, orchestra and chorus for work of the highest quality. I am very proud to be a part of this project.
And here’s to another very special guy, Igor himself who created an opera and a tenor role for the ages. I’m so pleased that I will sing Stravinsky’s king again later this season for my Czech debut in April with Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra (@symfonickyorchestrcro).
I’ll miss Oslo and this opera company for the warm, supportive people who made it such an artistically and personally fulfilling experience. Tusen Takk!
