Sinossi

In these three librettos, Philippe Quinault turns from classical opera to medieval legends--Renaud and Armida, Amadis and Oriana, and Angelica and Roland--exploring the tensions between love and glory. As usual, the dramatist relates his stories deftly with classic simplicity. In these adaptions of traditional medieval stories of romance, enchantment, monsters, and magic, either the heroine (Armida or Angelica) loves the hero she should hate, or the hero falls for an enemy enchantress, and has to be rescued from her clutches. The love "cure" is usually effected by means of magic or through the intervention of a fairy. Great entertainment from early French literature!

    From Vocal Poetry to Song -...

    Although the song is often the subject of monographs, one of its forms remains insufficiently researched: the vocalised song, communicated to the spectator through performance. The study of the song takes one back to the study of vocal practices, from aesthetic objects to forms and to plural styles. To conceive a song means approaching it in its different instances of creation as well as its linguistic diversity.
    
    Jean Nicolas De Surmont proposes ways of research and analysis useful to musicians, musicologists, and literary critics alike. In his book he takes up the issue of vocal poetry in addition to examining the theoretic aspects of song objects. Rather than offering an autonomous model of analysis, De Surmont extends the research fields and suggests responses to debates that have involved everyone interested in vocal poetic forms.

    Candy & Smiley is relevant, realistic, and at times -- ridiculous. Comprised of stories about Ed’s life and relationship with his parents, the special explores the intricacies and intimacies of a first generation Taiwanese-Canadian family. Candy & Smiley is a unique and hilarious journey. It is a close examination of the Asian-immigrant experience, a genuine reflection on the meaning of family, and an honest observation on the cultural identity of a new generation.

    The West Coast had Hollywood. But New York had somewhere just as special.  1260, 6th Ave.  The home of Radio City Playhouse - a glittering, star filled top of the range series featuring the best of acting and writing talent available. 
    The stories were based not on who you were but what you wrote.  It was a tough test.  If it passed the audition it ‘aired’. And now it does again.
