Story2
When Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died in 1791 at the age of just 35, he nonetheless left behind the defining composition in every available musical genre of his time: symphony, chamber music, masses, and above all - opera. Opera was the prestige genre of the era, and the thought of it, Mozart wrote, made him, "beside myself at once." It was a form he loved dearly, depending on it heavily for personal, professional, artistic, and financial reasons of the greatest weight.

In this fearless and hilarious memoir, legendary trumpeter Mark Gould, former co-principal trumpet of the Met Orchestra for nearly three decades, takes listeners behind the gold-leaf curtain of the world’s most secretive opera house. With sharp wit and total honesty, Gould reveals what it’s really like to spend 29 years buried beneath the stage in the biggest opera house on earth—sharing tight quarters with world-famous singers, unpredictable conductors, and a brass section built on equal parts brilliance and chaos.

Story1
The Italians have a word for the sense of dazzling beauty produced by effortless mastery: sprezzatura. And perhaps no cultural form associated with Italy is as steeped in the love of sprezzatura as opera, a genre the Italians invented. No composer has embodied the ideal of sprezzatura as magnificently as Giuseppe Verdi, the gruff, self-described "farmer" from the Po Valley who gave us 28 operas and remains to this day the most popular composer in the genre's 400-year-old history.

"Opera er en slags følelsernes fitnesscenter. Her kan vi træne både vores kærlighedsmuskel og vores angstmuskel. Ligesom vi går i fitnesscentret for at træne vores fysiske muskler, så vi er i form til at møde tilværelsen. Men det er ligesom nede i fitnesscentret: Det nytter ikke noget at stå og kigge på maskinerne. Man skal selv gøre arbejdet." Kasper Holten er en eksperimenterende og ofte kontroversiel instruktør og operachef. Hans bog er ikke en operaguide.

De Chirico fu forse l'artista più controverso del secolo scorso, ma il suo percorso personale appare oggi di una coerenza inflessibile. Inventore delle avanguardie a Parigi nei primissimi anni Dieci, agli attacchi dei suoi contemporanei rispose con un'autonomia intellettuale orgogliosa e rabbiosa, che lo rese un outsider del mondo dell'arte. Questa monografia, rigorosa e lucida, ci restituisce un ritratto chiaro, agile ed essenziale dell'arte di de Chirico, e si presenta come il contributo fondamentale alla comprensione della sua opera.

Completano i testi la bolla della sua canonizzazione effettuata nel 1255 da Papa Alessandro IV, la bolla di Papa Gregorio IX in cui le conferisce il privilegio della povertà, e la bolla con cui Papa Innocenzo V ratifica la regola del suo ordine nel 1253, conforto giuntole lo stesso anno della sua morte.

Nato da un'amicizia totale quanto discreta, sviluppatasi nel corso di un ventennio, tra Leonardo Sciascia e Matteo Collura, questo audiolibro è più di una biografia, è quasi un romanzo e insieme una sorta di guida alla lettura e alla comprensione delle opere di Sciascia, nel contesto della sua vita e della società della quale ha denunciato barbarie e ingiustizie. Il racconto muove dalla Sicilia degli anni venti del secolo scorso e arriva alla fine dei "decisivi" anni ottanta.

This audio-biography sets out to explain the timeless popularity of the operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan: a colorful partnership of the most successful writers in the history of light music. It highlights Gilbert’s mastery of language - his wit, his turn of phrase, his brilliant lyrics (alternately very funny and deeply moving) - and the special melodic gift which enabled Arthur Sullivan to write music of such beauty and style. While each was a master of his craft, it was the combination that created magic sparks.

Il primo muore, il secondo rimane ferito. La folla però si schiera dalla parte del Magnifico e la congiura finirà in un bagno di sangue e sfocerà in un conflitto aspro tra gli stati italiani. La vicenda viene raccontata da Giovanni da Montesecco, l'uomo del gran rifiuto: incaricato di assassinare i fratelli, si sottrae al compito poche ore prima del massacro. La sua ...

From the influence of Beethoven to the transcendental properties of his greatest music, Wagner’s work became a cornerstone of European musical culture, but what kind of journey took him towards this remarkable achievement?
