Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for January 05, 2017

I bet it sounds better than Ke$ha.

Mandarin Chinese is based on pronunciation too. The wrong stress and lilt and you could be saying eating eyes than eating grapes.

This is hilarious! BLAAART!!!

what a work of blart

The don’t understand it. Just see it. How many get the chance to see goblins perform?

So I’m guessing the subtitle spell is only good for dragoneese?

Blaart blart blaarrt. blaaart. (Awesome singing)

Hideously adorable.

Better than Les Miserable. (Is that how you say it?)

These Eurotrash productions have gone too far.

Some opera stages have digital subtitle screens right below. This one looks like it could need that.

The subtitles would also say ‘blaart’.

BLAART!

First panel makes me think that the production cribs a bit from Annie.

Poe-etry.

2017 looks menacing

Who here would download this?

meh, it makes as much sense as Waiting for Godot

Well, everything rhymes.

35 years ago the girls in my lit class were oohing and ahhing over the Italian language and how beautiful it is. I made the observation that any language that ends most words in a long vowel is likely to be “beautiful”. It wasn’t a popular comment. LOL

Linguistics aside, let’s face it, the plots of many operas or ballets etc. do not bear close examination.

At least they’re cute to look at.

Blaart blaa-aart blaart blaart blaart blaa-aart blaart blaart

Blaart blaart blaa-aart blaart blaart blaa-aart blaa-aa-aart

Blaart blaa-aart blaart blaart blaart blaa-aart blaart blaart

Blaart blaart blaa-aart blaart blaart blaa-aart blaa-aa-aart

(Auld Lang Syne in Goblinese. Or is it Goblinian?)

Funny that’s all I’ve been hearing since election night Blart

See my statement yesterday.

I smell a movie deal!

Just BLART the night away.

In the human world, there are a few opera librettists whose work can be called brilliant, such as Gilbert, von Hofmannsthal, and Boito, but beautiful? Well, that’s—unusual.

(I only ever made a living as a computer programmer, but I spent over twenty years doing opera and Viennese operetta in a small professional company on the side, so I’m not a exactly a stranger in that world.)

Goblin opera would seem to be most extraordinary!

Blaart Blart blaart blaart blaart

Blärt?

Those are very cute blaarters

I guess it ain’t over ’til the fat goblin sings “BLAART!”
