OperaSwag Holiday Giveaway

You guys have been amazing, so as a thank you of sorts, I will be doing a December holiday giveaway! The prize will be a DVD of “Enchanted Island,” starring Placido Domingo, Joyce DiDonato, Luca Pisaroni, Danielle DiNiese, etc.

HOW TO ENTER:

1. Reblog this post on Tumblr (it must be a reblog - likes will not be counted)

2. Follow Operaswag

3. Up to the 3rd reblog, each reblog will be counted as an entry as long as they are not on the same day (so basically, you can enter up to 3 times).

Contest is from November 26th to December 15th. On December 15th, 11:59:59pm, I’ll close the contest and randomly pick a winner.

So the MET gave Natalie Dessay’s Violetta an HD broadcast, but they won’t be giving Diana Damrau’s Violetta one when she does that role next spring. SERIOUSLY, WHO COMES UP WITH THESE DECISIONS?????

FORMERLY LILITH89IBZ NONE OF THE GIFS ARE MINE UNLESS I STATE SO I love beauty in all forms, ranging from people, food, music, clothing, movies and series, makeup, animals, etc. I also like funny things. What I find funny depends on my mood. I have many favourite movies, series and franchises but the ones that I usually post are Labyrinth, Doctor Who, The X-Files, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Devil Wears Prada, Disney, Harry Potter, The Big Bang Theory, Once Upon a Time, Merlin and anything Studio Ghibli (specially Ponyo and Spirited Away). I love music; opera in particular. Why? Because it's fabulous. Diana Damrau is a goddess. My favourite people to look at, listen to and swoon over are (in no particular order) Diana Damrau, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, Natalie Portman, Ellen Page, Emma Thompson, Alex Kingston, Johnny Depp, Diana Amft, Emma Watson, Gillian Anderson (specially with her Scully hair), Jennifer Connelly, Karen Gillan, Leelee Sobieski, Lana Parrilla and Kirsten Dunst among others. FAQ: Lots of people contact me about the title of my blog because I spelled it 'zürucke' instead of 'züruck'. The reason for that is that they're lyrics from an aria in 'Die Zauberflöte', so it's old German. Diana Damrau
