Tristan and Isolda: Opera in Three Acts

Richard Wagner

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

Richard Wagner's 'Tristan and Isolda: Opera in Three Acts' is a seminal work in the opera genre, known for its lush orchestration and innovative use of leitmotifs. The tragic love story of Tristan and Isolde is brought to life through Wagner's rich and complex music, creating a narrative of passion and betrayal that has captivated audiences for generations. The opera's innovative harmonic language and use of recurring musical themes have had a lasting impact on the development of 19th-century music. Richard Wagner, a controversial figure in music history, drew inspiration for 'Tristan and Isolda' from medieval legends and his own tumultuous personal life. His unique approach to opera, which he called Gesamtkunstwerk, sought to integrate music, drama, and staging into a unified work of art. Wagner's revolutionary ideas continue to influence composers and artists to this day. I highly recommend 'Tristan and Isolda' to readers interested in the intersection of music and drama, as well as those looking to explore the work of one of the most influential composers in Western music history. Wagner's opera is a masterpiece that rewards deep listening and thoughtful reflection.

A New America - How Music...

Tommy Mottola

Tommy Mottola discovered a passion for Latin music when he was a small child on the streets of the Bronx, where he fell in love with the energy and rhythm of the legendary Tito Puente. It was a love he would carry with him to this day.In A New America, Mottola explores the societal and cultural impact the Latino community and its music has had on America by sharing behind-the-scenes stories from his own life and his connection to the Latin sound throughout the decades-from his initial fascination with Latin music which started with Puente, to the mainstream success of Ritchie Valens, to the groove-laden guitar wizardry of Carlos Santana.Along the way, Mottola reveals heartfelt accounts of his longtime collaboration and friendship with Gloria Estefan and her husband Emilio, the meteoric rise and tragic end of Selena, and his orchestration of the Latin Explosion of the 1990s that launched mega-stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, and Shakira.But A New America is more than a story about music and musicians. It is the story of a culture that continues to grow and influence America in all its aspects, and an irresistible sound that continues to move and inspire the nation.

Arthur Miller

World War II is over and a family, mourning a son missing in action, plants a memorial tree and tries to go on with their lives. A storm blows down the tree and a devastating family secret is uprooted, setting the characters on a terrifying journey towards truth. Based upon a true story, All My Son is a classic drama by one of America’s greatest playwrights.At the heart of All My Sons lies a scathing criticism of the American Dream. After its publication Arthur Miller was called to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee, where he famously refused to give evidence against others.Tony Award Winner for Best Author (1947)AudioFile Magazine review: “One of the strengths of L.A. Theatre Works is their skill at selecting quality plays previously unavailable on audio. Arthur Miller’s 1947 breakthrough play is at once a postwar family drama, an indictment of false societal values and a searing tragedy. James Farentino plays businessman Joe Keller with a gruff bluster that sometimes masks a sacrificial love for his son Chris (Arye Gross), an idealist home from the war. Julie Harris, as the mother, Kate, is alternately needy, demanding, lovingly solicitous and willfully blind to the past. The live responses of the audience underscore the touches of humor that season the early acts of this landmark American drama.”An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring James Farentino, Arye Gross, Julie Harris, Mitchell Hebert, Naomi Jacobson, Barbara Klein, Paul Morella, Michaeleen O'Neil, Nathan Taylor and Jerry Whiddon.

What Trump's Refugee Policies...

PBS NewsHour

For the year that began in October, President Trump has capped the number of refugees who may enter the U.S. at 18,000 -- the lowest level since 1980. The policy is having a significant effect in what may seem like an unlikely place: Bowling Green, Kentucky, where a disproportionate number of refugees has settled in recent years, forming a crucial component of the local economy.
