On the musicals front

[winter]

The guy in my icon is the newest - first cast - Abronsius in Berlin. At age 21, without being a German or Austrian, and that's for a role that demands tongue-twisters at breakneck speed O.o

Also, I've spent quite a bit of time happily staring at photos from the new Budapest production of Elisabeth. I am quite frightened by the lengths some people are willing to go to to make this guy look like this guy.

Combined, I would say it means I can look forward to repeat trips to both Berlin and Budapest. Curses :P

That I'm not entirely sure of... I'd go for "tz" (so first 't' and then a sounded 'z' like in 'zone'), it seems the most logical based on what I know so far of Hungarian pronunciation, but that's one of the combinations we didn't cover in my Hungarian class. Most likely because it only appears in some old surnames and such things.

Máté would be an... interesting Krolock. He's still a bit young (then again, Sándor Nagy is, what, 27, but he's more of an obvious Krolock type than Máté is and has a deeper voice), but I was rather impressed by his DIF performance of Die Unstillbare Gier - I expected it to be a lot scarier. :D

Yep, good old Ida Ferenczy threw us a curved ball.

Heh, I'm wondering what the Tanzsaal scene would look like with Mate. I just see him doing something a-la "Der lezte Tanz," with all vampire guests crouching in corners and pretending not to be there. ^)

Actually, I think the cz might be a tse/ц. It's an older spelling of the single c.

Have you seen the Tokyo version? I think Mate's behaviour might resemble Yamaguchi with his cloak off ;) Note that Yuichiro would also be an old Death hand...

Thanks!

No, I have not seen Tokyo version fully, only in pieces :(
