New York, April 6, 2023– On Site Opera, New York’s pioneering opera company rooted in site-specific storytelling and the immersive experience, in partnership with the South Street Seaport Museum, brings drama and tragedy to Pier 16 on and around the historic lightship Ambrose with Puccini and Adami’s Il tabarro (The Cloak), May 14-17. This immersive outdoor musical experience follows last April’s production of Gianni Schicchi as part of the company’s multi-year cycle of Puccini’s Il Trittico.
On Site Opera music director Geoffrey McDonald conducts, and visual artist and opera director Laine Rettmer guest directs this brooding one act opera of a jealous love triangle that turns deadly on the banks of the Seine River. Staged on the lightship and on the pier where the audience is seated, the historic seaport offers the sights and sounds of 1900’s Paris where barge owner Michele, portrayed by baritone Eric McKeever, suspects his wife Giorgetta,...

And finally it started! The 67th Venice Film Festival, one of the most prestigious, and, by the way, the oldest film festival in the world, kicked off tonight at 7:00 p.m. in the Palazzo del Cinema featuring impressive Opening ceremony, hosted by the Italian actress Isabella Ragonese.
Black Swan made its world premiere as the opening film, bringing the American director Darren Aronofsky back to the Lido, where he won the top Golden Lion prize with The Wrestler (2008).
Of course, we already have some interesting reviews to share with you, for example this one (that comes from Variety):
“A wicked, sexy and ultimately devastating study of a young dancer’s all-consuming ambition, “Black Swan” serves as a fascinating complement to Darren Aronofsky’s “The Wrestler,” trading the grungy world of a broken-down fighter for the more upscale but no less brutal sphere of professional ballet.”

Well, at least judging from the comments my recent post got (read here), I wasn’t the only one shocked that pedophile R Kelly was selected to sing the official anthem at the opening ceremony at the World Cup in South Africa. However to present a better and more positive picture, officials have selected South African soprano Pretty Yende to sing at the closing ceremonies for the World Cup.
Pretty (what an appropriate name don’t you think?) is the first South African to be selected as a student at the Accademia Teatro Alla Scala, which is the official training school for the famous and legendary La Scala Opera House in Milan, and she says that legendary opera singers Maria Callas, Mirella Freni and Montserrat Caballe are her idols.
Here’s Yenda singing O Mio Babbino Caro from Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi:...
