Vasily Vasilyevich Vereshchagin was one of the most famous Russian war artists and one of the first Russian artists to be widely recognized abroad. The graphic nature of his realist scenes led many of them to never be printed or exhibited. Vereshchagin graduated first in the list at the naval school, but left the service immediately to begin the study of drawing in earnest. He was an indefatigable traveler, returning to St. Petersburg in late 1868, to Paris in 1869, back to St. Petersburg later in the year, and then back to Turkestan at the end 1869 via Siberia. In 1871, he established an atelier in Munich, and made a solo exhibition of his works at the Crystal Palace in London in 1873. In late 1874, he departed for an extensive tour of the Himalayas, India and in 1901, he visited the Philippines, in 1902 the United States and Cuba, and in 1903, Japan. Vereshchagins last work was a picture of a council of war presided over by Admiral Makarov.

From the premiere of Rigoletto at Venices La Fenice in 1851, the Dukes La donna e mobile caught on with the public and has done much to ensure the ongoing popularity of Verdis opera about the body in the sack. Rigoletto, the sarcastic court jester, is cursed by a nobleman who he has mocked. Subsequent events see the curse realised, as Rigolettos daughter Gilda is kidnapped, raped, and later killed. The story, originally about King François, contemporary of the English King Henry VIII, came from a novel by Victor Hugo, author of Les Miserables and the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Concerned by its combination of debauchery, seduction, rape by a king, regicide, kidnap and murder, the censors required the librettist Francesco Piave to relocate it from the Louvre in Paris to the court in Mantua. The wonderful music also includes the Dukes Questa o quella, Gildas Caro nome, Rigolettos Piangi! piangi fanciulla and the glorious ensemble Bella figlia dellamore. Enrico Caruso made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera House as Rigoletto. Others who have starred include Patti, Melba, Callas, Domingo and Pavarotti.

Now a byword for beauty, Verdis operas were far from universally acclaimed when they reached London in the second half of the nineteenth century. Why did some critics react so harshly? Who were they and what biases and prejudices animated them? When did their antagonistic attitude change? And why did opera managers continue to produce Verdis operas, in spite of their alleged worthlessness?Massimo Zicaris Verdi in Victorian London reconstructs the reception of Verdis operas in London from 1844, when a first critical account was published in the pages of The Athenaeum, to 1901, when Verdis death received extensive tribute in The Musical Times. In the 1840s, certain London journalists were positively hostile towards the most talked-about representative of Italian opera, only to change their tune in the years to come. The supercilious critic of The Athenaeum, Henry Fothergill Chorley, declared that Verdis melodies were worn, hackneyed and meaningless, his harmonies and progressions crude, his orchestration noisy. The scribes of The Times, The Musical World, The Illustrated London News, and The Musical Times all contributed to the critical hubbub.Yet by the 1850s, Victorian critics, however grudging, could neither deny nor ignore the popularity of Verdis operas. Over the final three decades of the nineteenth century, moreover, Londons musical milieu underwent changes of great magnitude, shifting the manner in which Verdi was conceptualized and making room for the powerful influence of Wagner. Nostalgic commentators began to lament the sad state of the Land of Song, referring to the now departed "palmy days of Italian opera." Zicari charts this entire cultural constellation.Verdi in Victorian London is required reading for both academics and opera aficionados. Music specialists will value a historical reconstruction that stems from a large body of first-hand source material, while Verdi lovers and Italian opera addicts will enjoy vivid analysis free from technical jargon. For students, scholars and plain readers alike, this book is an illuminating addition to the study of music reception.

Welcome to The Independents new ebook series The Great Composers, covering fourteen of the giants of Western classical music. Extracted from Michael Steens book The Lives and Times of the Great Composers, these concise guides, selected by The Independents editorial team, explore the lives of composers as diverse as Mozart and Puccini, reaching from Bach to Brahms, set against the social, historical and political forces which affected them, to give a rounded portrait of what it was like to be alive and working as a musician at that time. With Verdi, Italian opera reached its zenith, where music and drama are fused into an indissoluble whole. Although he wrote 28 operas, less than half remain regularly performed. Yet those which are remain a gold standard of characterisation, stagecraft and musical vocabulary. Rigoletto, La Traviata, Un Ballo in Maschera, Aida the roll call is long, but it is especially with his final two operas, Otello and Falstaff, that he becomes the unassailable master. But it was not just the excellence of Verdis artistry which propelled him to fame. Verdi was writing just as Italy was becoming increasingly resentful of Austrias domination, and there was a growing movement to unite the patchwork of territories of which Italy was composed at the time into a unified country. He became identified with the ambitions of reunification, and many of his operas, with their political subtexts, became rallying calls for the nationalists. Michael Steen unpicks how this most unsociable of men, a reluctant politician but a brilliant composer, became the figurehead for the birth of a nation. Born into a modest background, Verdi, with his sound business sense, grew rich and famous; rich enough to ignore the scandalised disapproval of his neighbours at his living openly with his mistress for many years before marrying her. At his death 200,000 people lined the streets to bid farewell to their hero.

Questo ebook e il risultato del Seminario Il verde a scala metropolitana: strategie e metodi di sviluppo e gestione tenuto il 15 giugno 2015 alla Cascina San Romano di Boscoincitta a Milano. Tale Seminario e stato promosso dalla Sezione di Milano Nord - Boscoincitta di Italia Nostra per dare un contributo concreto allo sviluppo della Citta Metropolitana di Milano a partire dalle strategie di riqualificazione territoriale attraverso politiche di realizzazione, valorizzazione e gestione del sistema del verde di area vasta. Due considerazioni spingono nella direzione della massima concretezza: -la consapevolezza che si debba risolvere il problema storico delle distanze che separano le fasi della pianificazione e della programmazione da quelle dellazione, in merito alle politiche di sviluppo del verde metropolitano e agli interventi di valorizzazione degli spazi aperti; -la convinzione che il verde di tipo estensivo, di sostanza piu ecologica e agricola che giardinistica, di basso costo di realizzazione e gestione (e, nei casi virtuosi, in grado di rispondere a rinnovate istanze sociali e produttive), sia uno strumento utile e credibile per attuare le politiche di rigenerazione urbana.

Verdadero y falso es una granada de mano en forma de libro, diseñada para dinamitar el teatro pretencioso y deshonesto que se practica hoy en día. Sunday TimesPublicado en 1998 por primera vez, Verdadero y falso se ha convertido en un titulo de referencia para el actor y el creador actuales, que a menudo, se encuentran atrapados entre su propio oficio y el negocio del espectaculo. Este libro se dirige al actor de una forma tan sincera como irreverente, Arremete contra las vacas sagradas de la interpretacion -especialmente contra los valedores del metodo Stanislavski y los agentes del negocio teatral- y propone en cambio nuevas formas de valorar y acercarse a un personaje, de trabajar un texto, de enfocar los ensayos y las audiciones y de sobrevivir, con la maxima cordura, en el negocio de la interpretacion conservando y protegiendo tanto la dignidad personal como el compromiso actoral.Mamet apela al coraje que requiere mostrarse en escena como acto en si, sin añadidos, y disecciona, con su mordacidad habitual, las razones por las que un actor no debe asistir ni a escuelas ni a cursos de interpretacion. Desbancando los lugares comunes, proporciona a la vez una valiosa orientacion para que el actor pueda sacar lo mejor de su oficio.

Este libro describe la primera parte de mi viaje desde ser maestra de escuela primaria, pasando por anunciante en radio, luego escritora de libretos para radio hasta llegar a producir para televisión. Todas las historias son veridicas, aunque algunos nombres han sido cambiados para proteger a los personajes mas interesantes. Si alguna vez se han preguntado que ocurre detras de las camaras, este libro les brindara algunos secretos y les explicara como se hacen los programas de TV. ¿Como se siente trabajar con gente famosa, o entrevistarles cuando no les interesa hablarte? No se dejen engañar con eso de que trabajar en television es glamoroso. No lo es. Yo pase mas tiempo en baños y husmeando entre montañas de basura que en salas de banquete. Hacer cualquier tipo de programa de TV es un trabajo de equipo, y yo he trabajado con los mejores equipos de grabacion y el mejor personal de estudio en Sudafrica. Sin ellos y sin su pasion, no podria orgullosamente recordar nada de lo que produjimos. Este libro es para ellos y los clientes que nos dieron la confianza de relatar sus historias. Es tambien para mi esposo que sufre desde hace tiempo y cuya paciencia mientras escribo este libro ha resistido nuevos limites. No hay dos dias que sean iguales en el mundo de los medios de comunicacion y yo me siento privilegiada de haber sido parte de ello. Pero no crean todo lo que ven en la television. Probablemente, ¡es mas sabio no creer en absolutamente nada! España 2014

El presente artículo pretende ser una exposición general sobre el poema de Parménides articulada a partir del análisis de dos de sus conceptos más importantes, verdad y opinión. Se divide, así, en dos partes principales. La primera es una introduccion general a la vida y la obra de Parmenides, en la cual se discuten, a traves de los testimonios antiguos, los aspectos historicos y literarios mas relevantes para contextualizar el pensamiento del filosofo. La segunda ofrece un acercamiento a los conceptos griegos de verdad y opinion (aletheia y doxa), mediante un analisis de sus usos y sentidos pre-parmenideos, particularmente, homericos. Como conclusion, se analiza brevemente el problema filosofico de la unidad del poema.
