Sinopsis

This eBook version of musicologist Peter Gammond's best-selling biography of the German-French composer Offenbach ties in with the 200th anniversary of his birth in June 2019. Composer, cellist and impresario of the romantic period, Offenbach is remembered for his nearly 100 operettas of the 1850s–1870s and his uncompleted opera The Tales of Hoffmann. Author Peter Gammond, himself 93, commented: "Nothing will shake my belief that Offenbach's music with its magical mixture of vivacity and tenderness is unique, unmistakable and undying."  The book includes a useful appendix which catalogues all Offenbach's works, early productions and works planned but not completed at his death.

    Laurence Olivier and Richard...

    Of all the great actors of the 20th century, none personifies acting royalty more than Laurence Olivier, and some of this is simply due to the fact that he was actually knighted in 1947, along with a lengthy list of other honors that include being named a life peer in 1970 and admission to the Order of Merit in 1984. To speak of The Right Honourable Lord Laurence Olivier is not a figure of speech but rather a fact. Of course, in addition to the literal sense of the term, there is undeniably a manner in which Laurence Olivier qualifies as acting royalty, as it is not for nothing that Spencer Tracy once referred to Olivier as “the greatest actor in the English-speaking world” (Bacall). It is also important to note that Tracy refers to Olivier not as a film or theater actor specifically, because much of Olivier’s lofty standing derives from his ability to successfully navigate different mediums like stage, film, and television. The breadth of mediums in which he worked, the various roles he inhabited within them (actor, producer, director), and the formidable time span of his career lend Olivier’s career a scope of perhaps unmatched magnitude.   
    	In the 1960s, the most popular actor in the world was Richard Burton, a hard-drinking Welshman who was nevertheless so professional that he was one of the preeminent stage performers of his day. In fact, he performed Shakespeare so magnificently that he was compared to British legend Laurence Olivier, and that success ultimately led to a film career that earned him 7 Academy Award nominations, as well as BAFTA and Golden Globe awards for Best Actor. Given his accomplishments on the stage and in Hollywood, Burton became one of the world’s most recognizable leading men, so it seemed fitting that he engaged in one of Hollywood’s most legendary romances with Elizabeth Taylor.

    The shocking true story of the lies and manipulation used by one of Australia’s biggest TV 
    production companies. 
      
    The full inside story of the bullying tactics, clever editing, and storyboarding used to create a 
    TV phenomenon. 
    In 2018, Sean Thomsen became one of the most recognised members of the TV show 
    Married at First Sight because he wore the infamous gold jacket to the reunion. But, like the 
    well-favoured stars on the hit show, Sean’s inside look at the world of reality TV revealed 
    that all was not as it seemed. Despite the promotion of ‘helping Australian singles find their 
    potential lifelong partner using the science of matchmaking’, the show has quickly devolved 
    into an oppressive ordeal – with strict rules, manipulative producers, and battles with 
    ambitious egomaniacs – and nearly drove Sean to take his own life in the aftermath. 
      
    Married Lies is Sean’s introspective account of his time inside the experiment; the lies, 
    harassment, and relentless social media abuse. Get the real, behind-the-scenes tale on the 
    producers’ whatever-it-takes attitude and ruthless focus on profits, ratings, and notoriety – 
    truth be damned. 
      
    But Married Lies is also a chronicle of transformation and personal power. By telling his 
    story, both a cautionary tale and a celebration of personal empowerment, With his extensive 
    knowledge of self-development and unique style, Sean will help you with making the first 
    step to change. 
      
    Married Lies will show you how to: 
     – Overcome adversity and redirect your mind 
    – Gain certainty and core confidence to change your career, relationship, or lifestyle 
    – Decide what you want and establish your true course in life 
      
    In Married Lies you will discover that no matter what life throws at you, your destiny is in 
    your own hands.

    Full of fresh speeches from Shakespeare's plays, this is the ideal guide for actors of all ages and experience.
    As an actor at any level you are likely to be called upon to perform a speech from Shakespeare. A great deal will depend on your coming up with something fresh that is suited both to your particular performing skills and to the purposes of the audition. This is where this volume of
    The Good Audition Guides comes in.
    Drawing on his extensive experience as a theatre director and in drama training, Luke Dixon has chosen fifty monologues for male actors from across the whole of Shakespeare's canon. Featured here are some of the very best-loved works (such as A Midsummer Night's Dream, Henry V and Hamlet) alongside many less well-known (and often more intriguing) speeches from plays like Love's Labour's Lost, King John and Titus Andronicus.
    Each monologue is prefaced with a neat summary of the vital information you need to place the piece in context and to perform it to maximum effect and in your own unique way. The volume also features a user-friendly introduction on the whole process of selecting your speech, tackling Shakespeare's language and approaching the audition itself.
