    DIMITRIS PAKSOGLOU – Tenor Born in Greece. Dimitris Paksoglou first embarked on a career as an actor and studied at the National Superior School of Drama. As an actor he went on to appear in important Greek theatres, including the ancient theatre of Epidaurus, the Greek National Theatre and the Athens Megaron. He then decided to make a career change and studied singing at the Athens National Conservatory under the guidance of the famous baritone Kostas Paskalis and Marina Krilovici, graduating with distinction. He moved to France where he appeared with several opera companies and his success lead Greek National Opera to offer him a contract as a principal tenor. He continues to appear in leading roles with the company, which he combines with guest appearances abroad. Greek Dimitris Paksoglou does not sing Cavaradossi with the usual slightly emotional Mediterranean glow. His tenor is more powerfully virile, but also with beautiful splashes of tenderness. He makes his famous song for life with considerable intensity.

The authors characterize the main periods of history of Russian ballet and its famous representatives. Key words: Russian ballet, choreographers, dancers, classical ballet, ballet techniques. 1. Introduction. Russian ballet is a form of ballet characteristic of or originating from Russia. In the early 19th century, the theatres were opened up to anyone who could afford a ticket. There was a seating section called a rayok, or «paradise gallery», which consisted of simple wooden benches. This allowed non- wealthy people access to the ballet, because tickets in this section were inexpensive. It is considered one of the most rigorous dance schools and it came to Russia from France. The specific cultural traits of this country allowed to this technique to evolve very fast reach his most perfect state of beauty and performing [4; 22]. II. The aim of work is to investigate theoretical material and to study ballet works on this theme. To achieve the aim we have defined such tasks: 1.

BLAISDELL CONCERT HALL oahu 2118 kalakaua avenue 808.921.1000, ala moana center 808.942.1148 maui the shops at wailea 808.879.1060 shop gucci.com Director’s Notes by HENRY G. AKINA Don Carlo is often considered Verdi’s most Wagnerian work. It makes use of the evolving structure of the Musiktheater, made so popular by Wagner, and introduces several motives that can be seen almost as Wagnerian leitmotifs. Verdi creates an entire political world set in Spain during the reign of Philip II. The opera follows four members of the Habsburg family: Philip II, King of all the world, son of an Emperor and ruler of a kingdom that “the sun never sets upon." Champion of the Catholic faith, devoted ruler and supporter of the Inquisition. This man rules his empire from a small room in the bowels of the Escurial palace. Likened by his enemies to a spider at the center of its web. At the time of the opera he has married three times. His current wife he married in spite of the fact that she had originally been promised to his son, Don Carlo. This marriage is one of the greatest burdens of his life. He does not know how to love.
