The aria "La Donna E Mobile" from Verdi's opera Rigoletto is one of the merriest melodies ever written as there is a carefree feeling to it of the rich duke Mantua and his attitude toward the many women he has seduced. He being one whose wealth and spirit lend themselves to the life of one who does nothing but go about seeking enjoyment from as many women as may cross his path with intensions of sharing in his desires for carnal pleasure. "La Donna E Mobile" (meaning "woman is capricious") being duke Mantua's motto in life, as its words indicate in the form "woman is capricious like a feather in the wind, full of accent in her thoughts, always a kind lovely face, he who trusts her will always be...

Italian-Opera Theater Arts – Italian Opera Italian opera is the earliest known opera form.Visit here now  Although the Greek and Roman Theater had inspired it, it inspired many countries around the world, including most of Europe. Some say that the word opera has been derived from the Italian words "Opera in Musica" which means work in music. The evidence of the very first opera performed in Italy was at the wedding of Marie de Medici and Henry IV of France. The Italian opera had three stages namely the baroque, the romantic and the modern. Baroque period is the name of that period of Italian opera that originated in Italy in the beginning of the 17th century. The voice used was very high...

The literal or etymological meaning of the word ‘opera’ in Italian is ‘work’ (from its plural ‘opus’ meaning ‘labor’ or ‘work’). If we wish to inquire about the origin of opera, we will only learn that it had no particular source, it has rather evolved with time. Initially it was performed in courts, and later moved on to public performances. The country where it first originated was of course Italy, as the literal meaning suggests. The first accepted composition of the opera is “Daphne”. It was said to be the first performance of the opera composition in 1598 during a carnival at the home of Jacopo Corsi, in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. Italy was a great music...

articletext">It is act one of Puccini’s “La Boheme” and we see a writer by the name of Rodolfo, sitting all alone in a humble one room apartment in Paris trying to write a story yet can not get started as he does not feel the motivation to do so. It is just as he puts down his pen in frustration that he hears a knock on the door which he naturally answers to find out it is the woman who lives across the hall who has come to ask him if he can light her candle which has gone out. She comes in and Rodolfo is immediately attracted to her, he naturally doing what she requested of him however it is in those few seconds that his beautiful guest momentarily faints; much to his disquiet. Rodolfo asks...

One of the most established arts in the medium of music and signing is that of the Operatic performance. Seeing the drama play out in front of your eyes, hearing the impressive, and what seems very exclusive range of vocal skills provided by the lead roles, can stir many emotions. Learning how to reach that pinnacle, learning how to sing Opera is, more often than not, a long and testing road. The skill sets which are involved in practicing the art is very refined and focused, and the amount of learning which needs to go on behind the scenes possibly makes it the most passionate form of singing around. Not only are there many hours of singing practice to be put in, but other skill sets need...

  How do you enjoy the Theater? How well do you appreciate the Opera? If you are going to the Opera or Theater House without a pair of Opera Glasses (often referred to as Theater Binoculars), you aren’t enjoying it as much as you should. You may ask “What could I possibly be missing?” Well I was able to answer that question for myself a few years back. I was attending a play put on by a local company with a close friend named Julie. Julie had been given a pair of Opera Glasses the week previous as a gift, and we had agreed to break them in together. Neither of us had ever used Opera Glasses or Theater Binoculars before nor did we think it would be of much impact on our lives. We took our...

“If you marry, you will regret it; if you do not marry, you will also regret it; if you marry or do not marry, you will regret both; whether you marry or do not marry, you will regret both.” -- Soren Kierkegaard. Soren Kierkegaard was a tremendous fan of Don Giovanni (aka Don Juan). Kierkegaard pined in regret over his broken engagement with Regine Olsen. He feared that once she saw the rottenness and evil within him, that she would no longer be able to love him. Many of his earlier works were works dealing with faith and coming to grips with his decision not to marry her. Such a person would be interested in the character of Don Giovanni who slept with thousands of women in fear that no one woman...

The race for the vacant Portsmouth manager's market has provided fascinating reading over the past week or so and over £13 million has been traded on Betfair. Frenchman Alain Perrin was sacked on 24 November after steering the club into the Premiership relegation zone without a home win all season. Perrin had only been manager since April 2005 but had won just four matches out of 21. He replaced an equally unimpressive boss in Velimir Zajec, who mustered five wins in 21 matches and was himself only in charge at Fratton Park for five months. Neil Warnock was the first manager in the frame and eager punters backed him into 1.20 (1/5). The former Notts County, Huddersfield and Bury manager had...

As a 26 year old single woman I like to think I live a pretty wholesome, clean living existence. Certainly when I compare myself to the likes of (the extremely talented) Miss Winehouse I am almost nun like, although admittedly I have tried to mimic her vocal stylings in karaoke after a few glasses of red wine. I do however have 3 addictions, 3 vices if you like. These are (in no particular order): - 1) Chocolate. All types and forms 2) Eastenders (I know...) 3) Spending obscene amounts of money on hair products The first item on the list often collides with the second in a Sunday afternoon omnibus extravaganza, however, as I regularly go to the gym the only thing I really need to worry about from...

When you watch Danny Boyle's latest rags-to-riches fairy tale "Slumdog Millionaire," you'll experience an emotional roller-coaster ride that only Mumbai can offer. The city that never sleeps, the city that is the center of the world (as mentioned by Salim in the movie), the city with an economic and social contrast ratio of 20,000,000:1 gradually reveals itself on the screen with all its color and darkness. Danny Boyle and his screen writer Simon Beaufoy (based on the novel Q&A by Vikas Swarup) has masterfully crafted the film using the Indian version of the television game show "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" Indian slums and street life has been explored by many international film makers...

Among the world's favorite operas, we find three of them with a libretto penned by Lorenzo Da Ponte and music by none other than the astonishingly delightful Viennese ear-confectioner Mozart. The list is a delight in itself: The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovann, and Così Fan Tutte. We learn in the new book, The Librettist of Venice, by Rodney Bolt, that Da Ponte grew so close with the unequalled Mozart - both of whom, we learn, were not only talented but vain, insecure and ambitious - that while writing Don Giovanni, they worked in adjoining lodges and shouted to each other through their windows. Da Ponte even dared to contend with Mozart, who believed the text should be subservient to the...

Currently running at Los Angeles' historic Pantages Theater, Cats will close in late March 2010 after a month of performances only to open again in Boise, Idaho and Boston, Mass. by April. Recently celebrating its 27th anniversary, this award-winning play is doing more than just entertaining audiences all over the globe – it's helping to make a difference, too, in the world of felines.

In Seattle, the first 50 people who adopt a cat this March will get two free tickets to the March 31 performance of the show when it performs at the...

When you think of NYC theatre tickets, you instantly think of Broadway or the Great White Way as it is also called. It earned the nickname "Great White Way" owing to the blaze and blitz of the lights of the various theatres and the illuminated billboards. Theatres and Broadway have links dating back to the 1800s. Broadway has had its ups and downs as do most industries. It was affected by the Prohibition, the stock market crash, the war and the lure of Hollywood that led many of its leading actors away. Broadway – A Tourists Attraction Beyond Comparison Broadway has been and will continue to be one of the greatest tourist attractions of the NYC. NYC theatre tickets have to be booked in advance...

To date, there are only four ways to check on DVD quality prior to purchase: 1. Consult an internet source such as "imdb" or "inthebalcony.com". 2. Rely on the testimony of friends and acquaintances. 3. Ask the dealer. 4. Use a reference book. Unfortunately, all of these methods have drawbacks. Internet sites sometimes provide a guide to DVD quality, particularly if the release is a major offering from a major company. On the other hand, releases from specialist firms that cater for the devoted classic movie fan are almost always ignored, even when these particular DVDs are widely advertised and sold. Friends and acquaintances who share an interest in classic and vintage Hollywood are usually more...

Broadway Tickets are the most sought after ones as the plays at all Broadway theatres enjoy mass-appeal and are a huge hit amongst audience of all ages. Broadway – The Origin And History Broadway was instituted in the early 20th Century. The first marquee that was lit up was of a theatre where Fifth Avenue crossed Broadway on 23rd Street. By 1901, the whole area was lit up by white lights and was known as the ‘Theater District.’ Initially, the district was spread across 30 blocks. However, today there are 39 theatres located in the Theatre District with many more designated as Off-Broadway, and Off-Off-Broadway theaters. Broadway, from the very beginning was known for its super hit shows. The...

Los Angeles is known the world over for its movie stars and television actors. Yet when "The Theater" is mentioned one immediately thinks of Broadway and not the City of Angels. However, Los Angeles has a bustling theater scene replete with award winning talent and state-of-the-art venues. After all, actors and directors need to do something in between film projects.

ext">Few structures around the world are as aptly named as the opera house in Venice, Italy. Having opened in 1792 as a replacement for the San Benedetto Theater that burned down in 1774—an all-too-common occurrence prior to theater electrification, where candles and later open gas lamps provided stage illumination—the company that managed its predecessor named the new facility Teatro La Fenice (“The Phoenix Theater”) in honor of the mythological bird that rises anew from its own ashes. The opera house was to suffer destruction twice more during its history, first in 1836 (taking a year to reopen) and again in 1996. While the 19th century fire was accidental in nature, the one 160 years later...

The genre of horror has long been a staple to theater goers and makers alike. Its ability to terrify, and its portrayal of atrocities unapproved of by middle American society make it the target of scrutiny and praise alike. But the realm of horror has been twisted again and again over the years, into a new beast altogether. To understand horror films of today, one must first explore the films that inspired them, the original horror masterpieces and flops that shaped the cinema into what it is today. The First Films With the invention of the motion picture camera in the 1880s, artists and writers had an entirely new medium with which to explore the long standing traditions of the theater and dance...

iv id="body"> At Frye's over the weekend I saw two half shelves worth of HD-DVD software. This is only remarkable because I had not been to an electronics superstore recently to see such a display. I know they've been out for weeks or a month or a I don't care. The HD-DVDs were grouped at the end of the anime section just before the nature and historical videos. I can't remember the first weeks or months of DVD's launch but it was probably just as pathetic (I remember only seeing Eraser and Twister DVDs for a year before I cared about DVD as a source of entertainment). The discs were packaged in the same clam cases as normal DVDs, the "HD-DVD" banner at the top was the only tip-off. Blockbuster...

When you are choosing your main show you need to decide whether you want to see a musical, a play or even an opera or ballet. There is lots of choice in the West End and you can be sure of finding something just right for you.

Finally if you want something a little more steamy there are Dirty Dancing and Chicago. There are usually at least...

-- End Ad Box ---> Can you hear the silence? Luciano Pavarotti has been forced to cancel his performances for rest of this year because of the removal of a malignant pancreatic mass. He has impressed his doctors with his physical and emotional resilience, and plans to resume in 2007. At the age of 70, he has been singing for us for over 40 years. The silence of the media has also been deafening. The news has been spread mostly by word-of-mouth. Club Vivo Per Lei members email me daily — “I have just learned the news.” Like the blogger who wrote, “He has been the soundtrack for much of my life,” Pavarotti is so much a part of my life, I knew almost nothing about him. He rarely grants...
