Love wins the day and promises that he will show how far his influence extends that same day. The Roman Emperor Nero is in love with the courtesan Poppea. He wants her to be his wife and to repudiate his lawful spouse, Octavia. Nero's mentor Seneca finds these plans both morally and politically reprehensible. He is ordered to commit suicide as payment for his opposition. Octavia is desperate and decides to have Poppea murdered. She blackmails Otho-Poppea's former lover-and forces him to carry out the murder. Otho calls upon Drusilla, whom he abandoned for Poppea. Torn apart by love and resentment Otho, disguised in Drusilla's cloak, creeps up on Poppea as she sleeps . Her murder is prevented by Love, who promises to ensure that Poppea will be crowned Empress that day. Drusilla 's cloak has been recognized; she is arrested and brought before Nero, who questions her closely. In order to protect Otho she takes th e entire blame upon herself. Otho hears this and reveals the true course of events. Otho is banished from Rome, but Drusilla may go with him as a reward for her proven fidelity. Nero now has sufficient reason to repudiate Octavia and banishes her permanently from Rome. Poppea is crowned Empress. In a euphoric final duet Nero and Poppea sing a hymn honoring their love .

Of equal importance, the Mode! 201 realizes the full potential of the new "Dolbyized" commercially recorded cassettes, the most significant source I of recorded music since the introduc­ tion of the stereo disc. The best of the "Dolbyized" pre-recorded cas­ settes are easily the equivalent of the best disc recordings, and the number of releases will be continually in­ creasing.

Pourtant bien éloignée du style habituel du grand compositeur italien, son ouverture en quatre mouvements demeure une des pages musicales parmi les plus célèbres. L’alternance de phrases musicales langoureuses, de déferlements de puissance et de mélodies vives et brillantes en fit l’une des ouvertures les plus étincelantes de son siècle. Ce désir d’expressivité et de théâtralité se retrouve 2 I dans son Stabat Mater qui expose les souffrances de la Vierge d’une manière très lyrique, presque excentrique pour l’époque. L’art du bel canto et la qualité des mélodies vocales du compositeur italien transparaissent abondamment dans cette pièce qui alterne justement entre puissance et douceur céleste, témoignant d’une humanité rare. Cette façon d’appréhender la spiritualité n’est d’ailleurs pas sans conséquence chez ses successeurs, notamment chez Verdi qui composera un requiem hautement dramatique, rempli de véhémence et de tendresse, à l’instar de ce Stabat Mater.

    July 6, 2014 My Dear Friends and Festival Supporters, This year’s 10th Annual Festival of the Aegean is truly a milestone. Just 10 years ago, it would have been impossible for me to have imagined that the very first notes of Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia on July 1, 2005, would lead to a unique, thriving, and critically-acclaimed series of events and concerts, which are coinciding today with the 150th Anniversary of the Apollo Theater, “La piccola Scala.” I remember coming to Syros from Mykonos some years ago, wondering if it was really possible that there was a great opera theater on this small but important Cycladic Island. But from the moment I walked up the 11 steps and through the doors and into the theater, my doubts were blown away. This was the same feeling, I might add, that I had experienced when I entered Carnegie Hall for the first time on November 24, 1983. How was it possible that there was such a magnificent theater on this Cycladic Island? I consider myself so fortunate to have arrived at the theater at that particular time in my life. Immediately, I could envision the possibility of presenting a Festival based in the Apollo Theater, and since 2005 that possibility has become an annual reality. Now, ten years and more than a hundred performances later, with the support of the Friends of the Festival, we have presented thousands of world-class artists, including 55 choruses, 10 orchestras, hundreds of soloists, directors, technical support staff, and members of the Greek Opera Studio in 16 operas, Plateia 2 concerts, sacred music concerts, children’s concerts, ballet, theater, popular music, jazz, 3 symphonies, and oratorios, to appreciative audiences.

    presented by MidAmerica Productions of New York and the Municipality of Syros-Hermoupolis NAMED BEST FESTIVAL OF GREATER GREECE IN 2011 JULY 9th to 22nd 2012 HERMOUPOLIS SYROS PETER TIBORIS GENERAL & ARTISTIC DIRECTOR ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ ΠΕΡΙΦΕΡΕΙΑ ΝΟΤΙΟΥ ΑΙΓΑΙΟΥ ΔΗΜΟΣ ΣΥΡΟΥ - ΕΡΜΟΥΠΟΛΗΣ ΓΙΑΝΝΗΣ ΔΕΚΑΒΑΛΛΑΣ ΔΗΜΑΡΧΟΣ ΣΥΡΟΥ - ΕΡΜΟΥΠΟΛΗΣ Μετά την Τιμητική Διάκριση σε Πολιτιστικό Οργανισμό που δραστηριοποιείται στην Πε- ριφέρεια για το έτος 2011 με την οποία βραβεύτηκε το Διεθνές Φεστιβάλ Αιγαίου από την Ένωση Ελλήνων θεατρικών και μουσικών κριτικών, θα έχουμε την ευκαιρία να το απολαύ- σουμε για 8η συνεχή χρονιά στο νησί μας. Ο Πήτερ Τιμπόρις, ένας αξιόλογος μαέστρος διεθνούς φήμης, από το 2000 έχει προ- σφέρει τα μέγιστα στην πολιτιστική πρόοδο της Ερμούπολης και του νησιού μας γενικό- τερα.

Επιθυμώ να εκφράσω τα θερμά μου συγχαρητήρια προς τον αγαπητό φίλο και Συρια- νό Πήτερ Τιμπόρις για το σπουδαίο Φεστιβάλ. Είναι ιδιαίτερη τιμή για τη Σύρο να φιλοξενεί κορυφαίους μουσικούς και καλλιτέχνες παγκόσμιας εμβέλειας, ενώ αξίζει επίσης να ση- μειωθεί η οργανωτική προσπάθεια του κ. Τιμπόρις στον οποίο με απόφαση του Δημοτικού Συμβουλίου, θα απονεμηθεί αυτή τη χρονιά, το μετάλλιο της πόλης μας. Παράλληλα θα ήθελα να ευχαριστήσω θερμά τη διοίκηση και το προσωπικό του Ορ- γανισμού Πολιτισμού και Αθλητισμού Σύρου που συνέβαλαν ουσιαστικά στην συνδιοργά- νωση του Φεστιβάλ με την εταιρεία MidAmerica Productions που διευθύνει ο κ.
