  • 2017-18 Season Welcome to the 2017-18 Season of Florida Grand Opera!
    OPERMIAMI | FORT LAUDERDALE A 2017-18 Season WElcOmE To the 2017-18 Season of Florida Grand Opera! Dear Friends: What is it that opera lovers—both veterans and newcomers—crave most? A thrilling experience unlike any other. And that’s what Florida Grand Opera promises you in the 2017-18 Season. We are going on a dramatic journey with four of the most exciting women in opera. And we want you to join us. The season opens with one of the great bel canto classics, Lucia di Lammermoor—a haunting Gothic story about a young Scottish woman, bullied by her abusive family, who sacrifices her true love and descends into madness. We then move to ancient Jerusalem for Richard Strauss’s Salome, the tale of the Judean princess who goes to horrifying lengths to get her way—an opera that still has the power to jolt today’s audiences. Next, we head to the depths with Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice, with the legendary musician and poet braving the perils of the Underworld to rescue his beloved Euridice. Finally, we will travel through the Amazon with the heroine of We will bring you dazzling productions cast with world-class artists. We Daniel Catán’s beautiful, lyrical work Florencia en el promise an experience you won’t forget: four women on journeys that Amazonas—one of the most melodious will put them each to the ultimate test. new operas of the past 30 years. You’re invited to put us to the test. Join us for the 2017-18 Florida Grand Opera Season.

  • Review: Hillary and Clinton | Second Thought Theatre | Bryant Hall
    Review: Hillary and Clinton | Second Thought Theatre | Bryant Hall theaterjones.com/ntx/reviews/20180115152423/2018-01-15/Second-Thought-Theatre/Hillary-and-Clinton Teresa January 14, 2018 Marrero Photo: Karen Almond Stormi Demerson and Barry Nash in Hillary and Clinton Dallas — There is something about a last name that defines married women. Take, for instance: Kennedy, Jackie or Roosevelt, Eleanor. The public knows them primarily from the complicated reference point of their unfaithful, in-the-spotlight political husbands, rather than from their own individual achievements. In the case of Clinton, Hillary, it is a name we are all too familiar within recent U.S. political history; a name who lost the 42nd presidential election in 2017 to one of the most nefarious characters in history. But Lucas Hnath’s play Hillary and Clinton is not that story. This one took place what seems like eons before, in 2008, and focuses on the first serious woman presidential candidate in the United States. However, this play—having its area premiere by Second Thought Theatre—is not about history; it is herstory told from an 1/4 intimate point of view on one winter’s night, on a Sunday evening, January 2008 in a New Hampshire hotel room during the primaries. In an unexpected win, Hillary sweeps the state against her then opponent, The Other Guy (Barack Obama), who would later win the presidential election. As nights go, this was a fateful one followed by defeat, a defeat that some say (and the play suggests) was based on her inability to break from the image of that other Clinton, her husband, who has marked her existence, one which includes a very public shame for all concerned named Monica.

SAVE UP TO 20%* TICKETS: WWW.FGO.ORG | 1.800.741.1010 WELCOME To theWelcome, 2017–18 Season SusanDear friends: letter of Florida Grand Opera! Five years ago, when I came to Florida Grand Opera, I was charged with reinvigorating the company’s repertoire and connecting with the audience in new and meaningful ways. I believe that our 2017–18 Season will possess the greatest depth and breadth of any season we’ve produced yet. There’s something to appeal to a wide range of tastes: the thrill of Italian bel canto with Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor... the steamy eroticism of Richard Strauss’s Salome... the Classical grace and intimate drama of Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice... the gorgeous lyricism of Daniel Catán’s Florencia en el Amazonas. Whichever operas you choose, you can’t go wrong: all of them will be brought to life by some of the finest artists on the current international scene. But there’s more to FGO than what’s happening on the main stage. South Florida audiences will also get the full range of the FGO experiences with our SongFest Recital series, featuring gifted members of our Young Artist Program; Community Conversations series, which explore an opera in depth; and Opera Concert series and Family Days that will open up the world of opera to all audiences. But the season can’t happen without you. Come join us—won’t you? Sincerely, Scene from: Orfeo ed Euridice, Act II Photo: © Elise Bakketun for Seattle Opera Susan T.

  • Combining Critical Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics to Analyse Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speeches
    Simon Berg Changing America: Combining Critical Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics to Analyse Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speeches Simon Berg Pro gradu-avhandling i engelska språket och litteraturen Handledare: Brita Wårvik Fakulteten för humaniora, psykologi och teologi Åbo Akademi 2018 Simon Berg Åbo Akademi University – The Faculty of Arts, Psychology and Theology Abstract for Master’s Thesis Subject: English Language and Literature Author: Simon Berg Titel: Changing America: Combining Critical Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics to Analyse Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speeches Supervisor: Brita Wårvik The aim of the study was to learn if there is any truth to the claims that Donald Trump has caused a new, harsher political discourse. This was done by analysing the presidential nomination acceptance speeches by Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump. By comparing the four speeches it is possible to determinate if the speech by Trump stands out, either when it comes to content or how he speaks. The speeches are the first public appearance by the candidates after being elected as candidates for their party, this means that they are the end of the primary election and the beginning of the Presidential election campaign. The study is primarily conducted using critical discourse analysis. Due to the inherent flaws of critical discourse analysis, in that it lacks a dedicated method of gathering data and might therefore allow for a subjective interpretation of the findings, corpus linguistics has been introduced as a supporting element. This also brings another dimension to the research. The study functions as an experiment in combining critical discourse analysis and corpus linguistics, to see if the two can be combined and whether the addition of corpus linguistics negates the characteristic problems of critical discourse analysis.

Once considered enemies, the United States and Cuba have reestablished diplomatic relations. The reestablishment of relationships is a surprise to many politicians because Cuba has not made the necessary changes to end the trade embargo put into place by the 1996 Helms­ Burton act. The majority of the friction in ending the embargo is from the Republican Party.
