Totally safe we have wind with the waves and making sure that it really works and works in a magical way the way it has to be on the lake stage was the biggest challenge i am evening and the head does become magical it turns into rigoletto the jester who makes a fool of himself in the course of the opera a tragic fall since the story ends badly thats why in this production the head is not only moved its taken apart dismantled becoming addicts head. Regulators daughter gilda has the musical high point melissa pity sings her aria norma from our high. Overall. It was its just very intense because youre not used to be that high and so the breath can be sometimes you know a little bit unstable as youre literally flying in the air so it moves and if there is a little bit of wind you will you will feel it right away. The story is about power and abuse the juke of mantua commits rape and murder those who stand in his way are done away with this production is directed by Philip Stewart cink better known for his music videos for ramstein and hes used to drastic imagery here in break ins to pulling verdis written letters into the present day. The opposite was true so it was obvious to me that this is absolutely the right opera for them to debate. Its a piece thats about a piece of power and sexual dependencies its about how powerful men sexually exploit the lower classes so its all spartans and thats done in the larger too obvious way. Is the 50th anniversary of the stumble riots in new york city when gay lesbian and transgender groups stood up against constant harassment from the police and it led to the start of the Gay Liberation Movement Society thankfully has come a long way since then but the l. G. B. T. Q. Movement still funds for equal rights my guest is canadian musician sam onslow who has an album called homotopy his a song is getting at play right now in germany cold get a baby. Will you be my. New 30. You mean my. Boy and joining me now in the studio is the man himself sam bacile all thank you for coming thanks very much rather that that song about gay couples adopting a child is just one example of the album homotopy of the record is pretty monothematic a clear statement of intent i would say in Todays Society here why did you feel the need to stay on the one subject. Well 1st of all the title is too good not to not to go with it and and the 2nd thing is that we like to pretend that perhaps because we have gay marriage now weve weve finished whatever fight there is going on as you pointed out before before interviews were hanging out actually germany has become a less safe place on the gay travel index for queer people that doesnt suggest that any fight is over quite yet. Its the 50th anniversary of the stonewall riots this year youre too young but i can remember when in my country it was illegal to be gay it was illegal also even a bit longer here in germany so we have come a long way though yeah absolutely i think the other the other problem though is assuming that any rights gained or rights that are then irrevocably gained and i i dont think thats the case i think anyway where theres still bigotry in discrimination you have to you have to work against it and i happen to have the privilege of being out and comfortably out which many people still do not have and i have the privilege of being pretty well trained musician which means i can actually turn turn those stories into songs that hopefully people enjoy eventually we took full but i still want to ask the gay travel in germany has gone down which surprised me and you i think canada your home country has way out i mean why do you think thats happened i mean my and my sense is that we live in a time of increasing folk well its not my sense that we live in a time of increasing polarization that polarization tends to push people towards the fringes of what we politically and socially believe which means that whoever is being radicalized towards any type of bigotry be it islamophobia anti semitism which are also on the rise tend to also pull in other bigotries with them that would be homophobia transphobia and the rest of it thats a very. Quickly some more music this is cool pretty boy. John. I love that video by the way get used to you know people i should say should watch more its great fun lets talk about the music though you have a beautiful baritone voice and its not typical of pop music in fact i find theres a classical quality with it new music generally where does that come 5 grew up as a classical musician i was a chorister 1st and then i trained violinist at least as a child and youth so thats where i come from i didnt i didnt get into pop rock and anything not classical into those in my very late teens early twentys so that all came way later and im still getting used to that now ok now in another song actually this is it goes on you are a boy chorister in fact that you talk about. It rails against christianitys acid youd have a section of the i quote i love gold but he doesnt love me i think gold hopefully loves you but its the bigoted. Non christians i would say is not right well that. The songs are not necessarily written from my personal perspective there from the perspective of varied various different characters and this character believes that his god does not love him which is not a strange belief in some parts of christianity. The c. Of e. Which i grew up in always was kind to me in regards to homosexuality and and relatively open but when it comes to conversion therapy and other. Strange cruel practices those tend to be rooted in ones own self hatred is as much as a parents desire to get you into a camp. When we were talking joel aged early is the day we could talk to you because youre in the studio you know exactly what youre doing and i go making the record making a record absolutely that is about it its. Already very proud of it and we havent finished yet so im love im loving it im working with the band at the moment to make it as good as possible i think its musically pretty all right and and lyrically its working very different very different i mean on home and hoping on this we dont do the same song twice and this is definitely on the same record twice either some a little i could talk to you for hours thank you very much for coming in thanks for having me thank you.
