Constanze In Blue Amadeus, 1984

my favourite Bernini statue isn’t a real statue, but the damaged clay and straw angel that was the model for the bronze statue.

I honestly love Carmina Burana. It’s either “Oh, Mighty Fate! Who will love me? Do not let me die!” or “he’s drinking, she’s drinking, everybody’s drinking, also I have an erection” with nothing in between.
