Sinossi

Richard Wagner's "Tristan and Isolda: Opera in Three Acts" is a seminal work that revolutionizes the landscape of opera through its profound exploration of love, longing, and the metaphysical struggle between desire and fulfillment. Composed between 1857 and 1859, this opera transcends traditional narrative structures, employing innovative chromaticism and extended harmonic progressions that reflect the emotional intensity of its titular characters. The libretto, steeped in medieval legend, evokes a deep sense of yearning and existential despair, encapsulating Romantic ideals while foreshadowing modernist themes, making it a cornerstone of Western music and drama. Wagner, a pivotal figure in musical history, was influenced by various philosophical and artistic movements, which informed his belief in the Gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art. His tumultuous personal life, including his passionate affairs and complex political views, shaped the themes of tragedy and transcendence found in "Tristan and Isolda." The opera not only reflects Wagner's theories on art and music but also speaks to universal human experiences, thereby cementing his legacy as an innovator in both opera and theater. For readers and music enthusiasts alike, "Tristan and Isolda" stands as a masterpiece that invites reflection on the duality of love and loss. This opera is essential for anyone interested in the intersection of literature, music, and philosophy, and its enduring resonance ensures its position as a vital study in the appreciation of artistic expression.

    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Argo is a historical drama set during the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis. The film follows Tony Mendez, a CIA operative, who devises a daring plan to rescue six American diplomats trapped in Tehran. Posing as a Hollywood film producer scouting locations for a fake sci-fi movie, Mendez teams up with Hollywood professionals to create a cover story. The movie blends suspense, political intrigue, and dark humor, highlighting themes of deception, bravery, and international cooperation. Directed by Ben Affleck, Argo masterfully portrays the tension of a high-stakes operation amidst the backdrop of a volatile political climate. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Former President Jimmy Carter commented in an interview with Piers Morgan that he believed the film was a 'great drama' and deserved to win the Oscar for Best Picture. However, he pointed out that although 'ninety percent of the contributions to the plan were Canadian,' the movie gives nearly full credit to the American CIA. He suggested that the true hero was Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor.” 
      
    “For the opening scene, the director of photography handed out 8mm cameras to certain people in the crowd to make the scene feel authentic, as though it was real footage of the riot.” 
      
    “The Iranian official seen on archive footage at the end of the film, issuing threats against Canada for their role in the rescue, was later executed by the regime he served.”

    Textile Landscapes demonstrates how to develop your approach to textile art with a focus on using found objects and paint and stitch on cloth and paper. 
    Cas explains how to exploit the contrast between the hands-on textural quality of working with fabrics and threads and the spontaneity and movement of brush marks to lend a painterly quality to your work.
    
    She begins with the basics – keeping a sketchbook to generate ideas, painting  and stitching on cloth and on paper and working digitally; Inspiring Landscapes looks at natural and urban space, the changing seasons and great landscapes as well as intimate spaces and travel diaries; Painting and Marking with Cloth explains the practical aspects of painting and dyeing cloth and how to make connections between paint, print, dye, stencil and stitch; Stitch-scapes looks at the different forms of landscape, experimenting with photographs and prints and how to translate those images using ink, stitch, abstract and collage techniques and then at how to transform the image using digital techniques; On Closer Inspection covers using elements and details from landscape and the environment as found objects and for research; finally People and Place explores the relationship we have with the outdoors and the built environment, as well as personal interpretations of place.
    
    The book includes artworks by the author that explore the UK, USA, Europe and Australia, as well as works by other internationally renowned textile artists. A creative guide ideal for textile artists of all levels – students, teachers and practising artists and makers – to make unique and beautiful work inspired by the world around us.
