ok serious business guys...it's the weekend, which means it's time to kick back, loosen the tie, and take opera down a few pegs. Opera Lite.
The first ad below we found when we went last April to Teatro Comunale di Bologna to hear Daniela Dessì and Fabio Armiliato in Norma. La Scuola dell'Opera Italiana, based in Bologna, put out this edgy advertisement, resplendent with suggestive nudity and tattoos. You receive the same tattoo upon graduation. They won us over with their anti-establishment rebellion.
The ad below looks normal enough, but seriously annoying, like o hai just me & my clarinet in the tub how random. Upon closer inspection, the bathing genius is magically playing the clarinet backwards, with the headpiece screwed on the wrong way. Look below for a close-up...
FAIL! GIANT FAIL!
Even this 6-year-old kid knows how to play it right...
