Perhaps I should have done this earlier, writing in English, but I was afraid of ruining my coherence and my tone (supposing I had them in the first place). But what else is the point of writing practice (which is the purpose of this blog) if not improving what you already have and finding better or more original ways of expressing an idea? So I’ve decided to give it a shot. The fact that I am to write a 50 pages paper in English this year must have had a contribution to my decision. I apologize for any faults, oversights, confusions in expressing myself in another language than Romanian. I have to obtain the specificity of my discourse and this exercise can only do me good.
I have a recommendation to make, so this post shouldn’t be completely wasted; it concerns a French adaptation of Victor Hugo’s “Notre-Dame de Paris”, turned into a musical first performed in 1998, in Paris. I don’t find it brilliant, I consider the female characters rather weak, the orchestration is elementary and gives an overall feeling of simplicity. But it has an impact through the masculine voices, massive set and suggestive choreography. The Romanian try of grandeur with the musical “Chicago” was too shy compared to this. You can find the entire show on youtube.
I hope there will be another post after this one
