The many cuisines of Luciano Pavarotti

© Sarah-Maria
that Luciano Pavarotti liked to eat, you saw him without a doubt. His passion for culinary was even so pronounced that he never took a tour without his two legendary blue suitcase. In which he was transporting all sorts of ingredients from his native Italy: Parmesan cheese, salami, prosciutto, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, etc. For after his concerts, he used not only for the rich to cook, but also for friends and even some fans.

to do this properly and missed, he was of the hotels provide you with the same all over the kitchen: when Pavarotti was such in Munich - which was often - he always resided in Room 525 of the Bavarian court. That he always slept in the same suite had a reason: because the hotel management had made his request to install there an extra large kitchen ... .. For a concert in Hamburg was the Hotel Le Royal Meridien in their Alster Suite even install a dedicated 15 000 EUR expensive kitchen. After his stay, she was no longer needed and eventually auctioned for charity ... ..

Librettist - the biggest crux of each composer?

for supremacy Pietro Metastasio
© Sarah-Maria
Almost exactly 100 years after the birth of the opera was Pietro Metastasio ( * Born in 1698) and was regarded as a true star among the writers. He fed with 27 opera librettos a whole generation of musicians. Musicians such as Handel, Haydn and Salieri made use of the libretto-Star. Metastasio librettos set to music three Vivaldi, Gluck and even 18 is also in several Mozart operas in the text by the poet laureate of Charles VI. warbled. Not infrequently, the pieces 20 times or more were set to music. "La Clemenza di Tito" is even in more than 40 versions. Among the composers are also Mozart and Gluck. His first libretto, "The deserted Dido" holds the record with 60 musical settings.

The next equipped his eloquence with a not to be underestimated musicality Pietro Metastasio knew the librettos to write so that, after the then musical conventions ideal vertonbar were. He designed his lyrics mostly playing and singing at the harpsichord. Among the many performers of his pieces was located next to the most famous castrato Farinelli and his patroness and adoptive mother, the star soprano Marianna Bulgarelli. Not infrequently applied its theater opera performances not match the name of the composer, but with Metastasio's famous text book. There could even compete with the young Mozart and had to be content on the play bills of his operas to come second.

way: Metastasio lived in Vienna a large apartment in the St. Michael's House. A little later there was referring to the famous composer Nicola Antonio Porpora also some of the rooms. And 1751 was joined to another music size. The then 19jähre Joseph Haydn was looking for a home because he was good for nothing more after the break in the vocal choir and eventually thrown out because of bad behavior from the conductor WG Reutter, together with six choirboys. Now, equipped only with a few side jobs as an organist or singer in churches were not so many alternatives, and they moved to the oven without attic of the house.

But who has the upper hand?
Most of the librettist for opera performances and is only mentioned in passing, and also by the composer often reviled as a bungler who is not ready to bring it to implement the wishes of the composer. Already in 1607, Monteverdi had trouble with his Striggo lyricist who wrote the libretto for his first opera L'Orfeo. Mozart also pay for his librettist many nerves: "[I] easily 100 - Yes probably viewed more book - but I have found almost no one with whom I be satisfied could." Richard Wagner has co-equal calmly and from the start his librettos written - Argue about his literary skill, can certainly, but at least he has been so incredibly long correspondence with a writer saves. Wagner's fellow Italian Giuseppe Verdi is different and he has since been issued in several clashes and demanded detailed instructions his librettists a lot. In Francesco Maria Piave, he found early on a text that was probably something like the lesser evil for him. The former wrote nine librettos for Verdi, and drew the following conclusion: "I am the ass that is tied to the crib of its master. Verdi is a tyrant, and you can not imagine how many and how high demands it places on me and my poor verses. Here wishes it an accent, there a slurring, here a short verse, where a long. And anyway, he torments me constantly, and I must obey "Verdi has not only return once said derogatory about him.. However, the fact that Verdi Piave after his stroke, which left as a result of permanent paralysis and eventual depletion, has occasionally used some money to the poor, suggests that he has Piave ultimately appreciated. Also, the librettist Gaetano Rossi, who wrote for Rossini, Donizetti and Meyerbeer got help from one of its composer Meyerbeer as he begged for a clothing donation, it was the desire not cut off ... ...

But the question of who wins the tug of war for supremacy over seems to be clear.

But what about an equal cooperation?
Today's equally well-known artist Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal seems there are rather the exception to prove the rule. And the example of the now best known as a writer ETA Hoffmann, the textual background of his opera "Undine" his friend Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué entrusted, should not contribute enough to counterbalance the many disputes between the composer and librettist.

But what about another example: the artistic connection between Gluck and Calzabigi should also have been really quite fruitful. even as he called it - - because he was the librettist with the Gluck together the "risk" was his extensive opera reform tackled. They broke through in the wake not only the former musical conventions but also those who Metastasio librettos for opera has given. Calzabigi wrote about the renovations, "My Meaning was directed at the music back to its true office due. The drama in his expression and his alternating images to serve, without interrupting the action or useless through them and to catch a cold redundant Jewelry "Calzabigi had apparently not generally as with Conventions: Paris, he chose not to make rare road together with Casanova and Madame Pompadour, from Naples, he is as a result of being involved in a poisoning kicked out and he was deported from Vienna.

Off current Occasion we have with Pope Clement XI times a representative of the church to speak ...

"That no Weibsperson should learn at high resolution of fine music to let themselves be used as a singer, for we know well that sing a beauty, in the theater, and still maintain their modesty, would not otherwise do, as if to jump into the Tiber but not my feet would get wet. "

The contradiction that, according to the laws of the Church castration was forbidden under pain of death, triggered the Vatican easily (and not) and hired to "Praise God" (O-Ton Pope Clement XI) and 1903 castrati in the choir of the Sistine Chapel. Alessandro Moreschi was the last castrato, who was on the payroll of the Papal States. He died in 1922.

In this sense, a toast to the Christian charity!

Why Do Brazilians Get Pregnant?

Handel, Bach and the oculist John Taylor

© Sarah-Maria
Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Friedrich Handel, both suffered from a severe visual impairment and went - first Bach, Handel then - look with hope to again in the hands of the oculist John Taylor. This was one of the . Stecher famous star of his time

Such an operation was as follows: first, turned out, the absence of anesthesia, an assistant behind the seated patient and pressed his head with both hands against his chest to fix it. The star now Stecher stabbed in the eye and pressed with a star stitch needle, the lens to the eyeball. He had to keep it there for a while, because otherwise they would immediately slipped up. Without the cloudy lens then the light was able to reach the retina and the patient was - but with a strong overview, at least - to see again. Following the surgery were blindfolded and it was then the usual procedure: bleeding and administration of various remedies. In practice, the whole, however, proved to be extremely difficult, because many patients had subsequent severe complications. Not infrequently they also died as a result.

The oculist Joseph Hillmer
operated, for example, with 82% failure by the Russian nobility. So it was to travel to the A & O for a successful oculist much: And so did John Taylor, who proved by his surviving writings, lectures and numerous pamphlets, he was the charlatan among the charlatans, 30 even years. His recipe for success was also from the fact that he's not untalented in terms of PR and the news was on its operations more or less wrote itself: war in the Berlin of Bach's news operation (1750) to read that they had been successful - this message has also reached Handel in London. The reality however, was quite different: there were complications and the pupil is also pushed back into the eye. A few months later, Taylor again put on hand. Unsuccessful. So Bach spent the last months of his life with a blindfold, which he acquitted himself but about 3 ½ months after the last surgery and could actually see again - but on that day just suffered a stroke and died Ten days later, on 28 Juli 1750th

way: Bach was operated on for lack of operating room in Leipzig Gasthof Schwanen Drey, who had then served as a performance venue for concerts. He was at number 7 in the immediate vicinity of Richard Wagner (1813) Birthplace: The house to the red and white lions (Brühl 3). Today, on the surface of a shopping center.

good two years after Bach's death on 11.3.1752 was Handel's first Star stitch - done by Bromfield - and was shortly afterwards to see better. However, only short term because of his blindness subsequently took rapid than before the operation. In August 1758 he made the mistake again and had to undergo surgery again - this time from John Taylor. On 14 April 1759 Handel died in his London apartment.

A few years later in 1761 John Taylor published the book "History of the Travels and Adventures" in the title, he referred to his travels and meetings with prominent patient reported.

5.0 out of 5 stars ferrets for all! , 20th December 2010
review is from: Heart Liners: Half the truth about Richard Loning (Paperback)
The presentation of the book made me suspicious. Where had I seen this cover just before?

first 45 pages and a variety of laughter later, I was on it: not just the parallels to a famous three-part Bestsellers are no accident ... Edda Klepp's novel is peppered with references to various relevant film classics and the odd successful novel. (I identified include "Notting Hill", "Dirty Dancing" and "The Neverending Story "...)
addition to the actual story, the author provides from time to time" useless knowledge "about their characters, wander here and there from passion by short to ask it "Where was I again? Oh yes ..." or an exciting scene is the "still image" freeze, so that one has time to make themselves aware of the absurdity of the event.
SO is this novel not only the film business, but also themselves with the same targeted. Five stars for much intelligent self-irony! staged

How Many Helmets Does Alabama Have

The Love for Three Oranges - Staatsoper Hannover

© Sarah-Maria
's Well was brave of me - or rather recklessly - to take the train, which was scheduled to arrive about three quarters of an hour before the performance begins. But he is loose in spite of constitutional ground staring at a variety of display panels of those people with a different destination in fact - at least almost. At the box office then there was also really good student tickets! And then put his success story of my luck to have: my train back is also as good as down time .... Well, ranting again on a train .... ;))

delivered to the performance starts to libretto under the tragic, the comic, the lyric and the hollow heads an exchange of blows in terms of site selection, until finally, with the fairy tale "The Love for Three Oranges" promised by none other than the ridiculous, a compromise was - should come in which everyone's expense. It could go so: (! Phil Heo = great tenor) The Prince a bored teenager in a manga style sits with his superhero friends (I'm unfortunately not so firm in terms of comics, manga, etc., so I up to a Turtle could assign any of the characters) playing computer in his apartment bed and suffers, as the doctors noted, to "hypochondriacal depression." According to its clinical picture is the prince to the world outside of his bed nothing more at. It evaporates into a representation à la World of Warcraft: just this game, the campaign certainly need not be long until it can claim its addicts with a measurable loss in gross national product. In the beginning, everything is always separated harmless and accordingly at the beginning of Inszenierug (Balázs Kovalik) a transparent and transcendence mirror wall that brought me to function and look a little like the Star Gate, first the reality of the game - still. But soon the illusory world is inextricably linked to the now confused: the earlier in the game acting evil witch Fata Morgana is replicated in the fight against good and announces face to face to a cure of the prince to avoid at all costs.

And a cure, there can be only if the values are again Lord condescended to laugh really. As a result, ie a state ceremony will be staged with much fanfare and offered various show elements to provoke a laugh. But this show not just the fact that its designers Truffaldino (Ivan Tursic = a really great singer with a real flair for comedy) has an idea of what humor, wit and laughter ultimately is. The whole thing ends in frustration as all and then turn on the Miss Mirage also it comes to blows, ending in the exposure of her breasts - they there has usually two double the number. This in turn brings the prince to the plan and he laughs himself half dead .... Whether this can stimulate laughter from friends harm a healing process, is now made once there, but the witch curses the prince of revenge to a rather strange passion: he is immortal now expended in the three oranges.

Too bad, that it is in the care of a wicked cook in pink Lackschürzchen (Shavleg Armazi = the opposite of a trouser role, because the good is a steadfast baritone) are located. The former is notoriously famous for their wooden spoon with which she kills troublemakers of hand. But what should we do: moves driven by love of the prince with Truffaldino on a search and they can get hold of the three good pieces indeed. However, those who believe in again shortly tuned for Truffaldino comes over the face of the desert on the way home, a terrible thirst, and he drinks the juice of an orange. With the opening of that seems just a princess, the water required of him. And given the not exactly optimal geographical location even tried to make do themselves by the way and takes her (Be) free nearly tearing down the pants - in order to juice replacement. In view of their despair Truffaldino sacrifices finally a second Orange - in the hope their thirst of equator. But there is a second princess appears with a similar problem. They both die and Truffaldino takes flight. The prince, at first somewhat confused by the two female bodies, but can not deal with uncomfortable questions of meaning and simply removes them summarily. He then makes the mistake of his buddies again. However, he knows how to get ... .. Here are some intrigue, but which can be solved in time and in the end, the two together on his bed.

Conclusion: SUPER! The production was funny, entertaining, and is set on popping effects - without being silly .... I also like Prokofiev - although not always, but somehow very happy and apart from the fact that his opera is not exactly free of racism!
