Sinopsis

In "Chapters of Opera," Henry Edward Krehbiel meticulously dissects the evolution of operatic art, offering readers an engaging exploration of its historical and cultural significance. Written in a lyrical yet scholarly style, Krehbiel's prose intertwines analysis with anecdotal narratives, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of opera's development from its nascent forms to its grand productions. The book's rich context is anchored by Krehbiel's deep appreciation for music as a multifaceted cultural phenomenon, evidenced by his incisive comparisons of different styles and genres, alongside vivid portraits of key figures in opera history. Krehbiel, a prominent music critic and scholar of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, brought a wealth of knowledge to this work, influenced by his involvement in the American music scene and his passion for elevating the opera as an art form. His previous writings and critiques reflect his commitment to demystifying music and making it accessible to a broader audience, which aligns with his intent in "Chapters of Opera" to not only inform but also inspire a love for this sophisticated genre. This book is highly recommended for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of opera or who wishes to appreciate the interplay between music and cultural history. Krehbiel's insightful analysis and engaging narrative style make it an essential read for both scholars and casual enthusiasts alike.

    In this candid and empowering A to Z of being an actor, Julie Hesmondhalgh draws on her decades of experience on stage and screen – including in massively popular television shows such as Broadchurch, Happy Valley and Coronation Street – to lift the lid on the realities of life in today's industry, and show you how to navigate it.
    She shares practical advice on preparing for roles (don't be afraid of looking like a dick), managing the ups and downs of your career (and how to be out of work without losing your mind), dealing with failure (and success), not constantly comparing yourself to others (bloody hard, but try), looking after your mental health, and the power of knowing when to say 'no'.
    Passionate about the arts, she makes a compelling case for their importance to society, but also calls out the industry on where it continues to fall short – including a clear-eyed assessment of what needs to change to make it safer and healthier, more accessible and inclusive.
    Written with refreshing honesty and self-deprecating humour, An Actor's Alphabet is a book for anyone who dreams of becoming an actor, wants to be a better one, or just wants to learn what being one is really like.

    Father Charles Coughlin was a controversial Canadian-American Catholic priest based in Michigan. Calling for monetary reforms, the nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of the rights of labor, Coughlin used weekly radio broadcasts to reach a mass audience of up to thirty million listeners during the 1930s. 
    An early supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, Coughlin later became a harsh critic. Coughlin’s commentary also became more anti-semitic, and he supported some of the fascist policies of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito. As a result, many American Catholic leaders, as well as the Vatican, wanted Coughlin silenced. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Roosevelt administration finally forced the cancellation of his radio program and forbade the dissemination of his newspaper, Social Justice. In this recording, Coughlin makes an appeal to the working man.
