I've finally seen Elisabeth last week in Dresden and it was phenomenal! Just saying that I've absorbed nearly every youtube clip of this musical that is lurking around there and memorized the lyrics. To my mind the 2011-12 tour cast is the best so far, although Serkan Kaya will remain the best choice for Lucheni. Mark Seibert has such a firm, pleasant voice that equals with Annemieke's strong and angelic one. I'm still so impressed by the manifold imagery of the lyrics, the choreography, the music (chorus, duets) in general...aww :') So much better in live than watching it online via yt. That was one very special evening that'll remain in my heart. But I'm babbling, haha, sorry. Very beautiful pic, it really captures all characters well! :3 On a sidenote: It was more a rasp not a knife that Lucheni used to kill Sissi LOL...although that's a small, not notable detail~
Greetings from Germany.

Awww
Althoguh I hate the adult Rudolf in that version. Just not bishie enough.
But Serkan Kaya is such an eye candy.

Thanks
Fritz Schmid was a moderately disapointing Rudolf, visually, though he is a good singer so I don't mind all that much. The curly hair was a bit stupid...

Oh, Kamarás is hot. And Hungarian!

Oh is he? Cool! I could never place his accent... (Because I'm terrible with accents) He's quite pretty, though unfortunately difficult to draw well. It's rather irritating, he has such an expressive face...

Oo, beautiful people! Elisabeth's dress is gorgeous, and the little kid is adorable. 
Why, why, why did I miss this when it was in Finland? Can I get another chance? Pleeeeease, Finnish theatres, hear my plea!

Thank you ^_^ Little Johann Ebert is possibly the most adorable child ever, and a beautiful singer. "Mama, wo bist du?", the one song he sung, was absulutely gorgeous. (Yeah, the sideburns are mildly hilarious. 
Fingers crossed for you!

Thank you ^_^ The costumes tend to be fabulous in this musical because almost all of the characters are some flavor of nobility or royalty.

Man, all your pieces of this musical is making me want to go see it T^T

I looked it up...and boy, it sounds interesting. With rampant death and unease, it would be worth watching without subtitles

The music is good enough that it's fun to listen to even without much of a clue and the visuals are cool, if bizarre. And if you watch it on Youtube once with the subtitles, at least then you more or less know what's going on. That's what I did. Well... then I downloaded it to my media player and watched it over and over and over until I now essentially have the subtitles memorized and can sing half the songs, but that's beside the point...)

Must watch this weekend! Hey, singing them is pretty amazing considering it's German (or do they call it Austrian??)

Do, and tell me what you think! (Mehehehe, a convert!) I'm pretty sure it's German. (Wikipedia calls is a "German-Language Viennese musical.") And I'm apparently good at memorizing foreign stuff by imitation. All I know of French is from Notre Dame de Paris.

I will! And being able to do that is amazing, you must have a knack for picking up language! You could be one of those who know 5 languages or something. Sadly my skill lies in math and chemistry...language doesn't stick

Yay!
I don't know about that, I struggled a fair bit with Spanish (the one language I've actually studied in school.) I'd love to be multilingual....

Sometimes it's the way the teacher teaches the material. Seriously, if you can absorb it and understand it by listening to it, that is AMAZING.

Yeah... it was my third year teacher that convinced me to quit taking Spanish. Apparently she likes me, so I at least did a good job of BSing respect...
Well, it's not so much absorbing and understanding the language as memorizing the English subtitles and linking them with the precise noises my favorite actors make. So if one of them has a weird accent, then I sing with the weird accent too. If they mispronounce or drop sylables, so do I. And I'm probably further butchering it just by trying to immitate live performances... Though I have started recognizing words and phrases, so maybe...

Uh, I didn't know that was supposed to be "nice" on her part. I was taught that teaching meant teaching everybody and that means REACHING them, not telling them to quit!
I think so!

She didn't intentionally drive me out of the language, she just drove me nuts so I quit at the end of the year. She unintentionally killed the last clinging remains of my interest in the language. Now I just wish I'd taken something like French or German like I wanted, not Spanish just because everyone and their dog said it would be the most useful.
It's nice to be able to listen to other recordings of Notre Dame and Elisabeth sans subtitles and still understand most of what's being said.

I never took spanish because I knew my own limitations 
Isn't that a great feeling?

It was the first language offered in my school district (8th grade, a year before the option for any other language is available) and most common spoken language besides English where I live, so I took it. >.< I just wish I'd had the spine to transfer to something interesting once I got to high school...
Indeed. 'Tis fabulous.
