I’m sure that was horrible German…don’t ask for my pehperz!
Anyway, salve you xkcd fans might remember the brilliant Movie Timelines (for others of you here’s a little taste, approved but you should check out the whole thing, visit srsly)
Well, wouldn’t you know it, some brilliant mind came up with a web tool to make your own! It’s a little clunky but it gets the job done quite nicely….of course I knew I needed to use it to make the plot of some opera even harder to grasp! I chose Zauberflöte because a) I know it pretty well, b) it’s already confusing as hell and would make a nice convoluted graph, and c) ok it was really either that or Peter Grimes (the two operas with which I have been, at one time or another, the most obsessed with) and I don’t think I’m emotionally ready to reenter the world of Grimes to the degree that I would have to….anywho, here’s a little sample to tickle your fancy, but please to click to embiggen and see the whole thing in its curvaceous glory.
I’m sure I left out a few things and didn’t elucidate other things enough, but pretty good for a first try, eh?
