  • Comunicato Stampa
    COMUNICATO STAMPA Otello, omaggio a Giuseppe Verdi nel bicentenario della nascita, inaugura la Stagione lirica e di balletto 2013 Giovedì 2 maggio alle 20.30 si alza il sipario sulla Stagione lirica e di balletto 2013 del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Una stagione sempre molto attesa dal pubblico che, anche per quest’anno, segna la rinascita e la voglia di proseguire nella diffusione musicale del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Sei opere liriche ed un balletto, una produzione in più rispetto all’anno scorso, tutti titoli di grande interesse che, certamente, troveranno il gradimento del pubblico, sia per quelli noti che per quelli ricercati: Otello, Macbeth, L’amico Fritz, I Shardana, Così fan tutte, Pagliacci, Red Giselle. L’inaugurazione è affidata al doveroso omaggio, in occasione del bicentenario della nascita, a Giuseppe Verdi (Roncole di Busseto, Parma, 1813 - Milano, 1901), massimo operista italiano: Otello, dramma lirico in quattro atti, su libretto di Arrigo Boito, dalla tragedia omonima di William Shakespeare, e musica, appunto, di Verdi, va in scena per sei rappresentazioni, dal 2 al 10 maggio, per il XIII Festival di Sant’Efisio del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Lo spettacolo inaugurale, un stimolante allestimento dello scorso gennaio della Fondazione Lirico Sinfonica Petruzzelli e Teatri di Bari, conta dell’eccezionale regia di Eimuntas Nekrosius, geniale artista lituano, celebre in tutto il mondo dello spettacolo per aver curato importanti allestimenti teatrali e che ritorna a Cagliari dopo l’allestimento di La leggenda della città invisibile di Kitež e della fanciulla Fevronija di Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov che inaugurò la Stagione lirica e di balletto 2008, delle scene di Marius Nekrosius, dei costumi di Nadežda Gultiajeva e delle luci di Audrius Jankauskas che sfruttano tutte le potenzialità drammaturgiche dell’opera con pochi elementi scenici e colori assemblati con grande pulizia ed eleganza, oltre a movimenti essenziali, in un gioco di rimandi simbolici.

He recorded two versions of Bach’s great composition—once in 1955 and again in 1981. It is a testament to Gould’s genius that he could record the same piece of music twice—so differently, yet each version brilliant in its own way. Glenn Gould— A State Of Wonder brings together both of Gould’s legendary performances of The Goldberg Variations for the first time in a deluxe, digitally remastered, 3-CD set. Sony Classical celebrates the 70th anniversary of Glenn Gould's birth with a collection of limited edition CDs. This beautifully packaged collection contains the cornerstones of Gould’s career that marked him as a genius of our time. A supreme intrepreter of Bach, these recordings are an essential addition to every music collection.

  • Armenian Orchestral Music Tigran Arakelyan a Dissertation Submitted
    Armenian Orchestral Music Tigran Arakelyan A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: David Alexander Rahbee, Chair JoAnn Taricani Timothy Salzman Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music ©Copyright 2016 Tigran Arakelyan University of Washington Abstract Armenian Orchestral Music Tigran Arakelyan Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. David Alexander Rahbee School of Music The goal of this dissertation is to make available all relevant information about orchestral music by Armenian composers—including composers of Armenian descent—as well as the history pertaining to these composers and their works. This dissertation will serve as a unifying element in bringing the Armenians in the diaspora and in the homeland together through the power of music. The information collected for each piece includes instrumentation, duration, publisher information, and other details. This research will be beneficial for music students, conductors, orchestra managers, festival organizers, cultural event planning and those studying the influences of Armenian folk music in orchestral writing. It is especially intended to be useful in searching for music by Armenian composers for thematic and cultural programing, as it should aid in the acquisition of parts from publishers. In the early part of the 20th century, Armenian people were oppressed by the Ottoman government and a mass genocide against Armenians occurred. Many Armenians fled

  • Affirming Genocide Knowledge Through Rituals
    6 Affirming Genocide Knowledge through Rituals Parts I and II of this book examined the emergence of repertoires of knowledge regarding the Armenian genocide through social interaction, objectified thought processes, bearing witness, and the involvement of knowledge entrepreneurs. We saw how knowledge generated through these processes took radically different shapes as it became sedimented within each of two distinct carrier groups, Arme- nians and Turks. Oppositional worldviews and associated knowledge reper toires are not unique to this case, of course. We find them, for example, when those who recognize the role of human action in global warming encounter others who see a Chinese conspiracy at work, aimed at harming the U.S. economy. Or again, when those who know that liberal or social democracy will secure a prosperous and secure future disagree with followers of populist authoritarian leaders and parties. The question arises of how each collectivity deals with the challenges posed by the other side. Now, in part III, we encounter two strategies commonly deployed in struggles over knowledge. While chapters 7 and 8 address conflictual engagement with the opposing side in the realms of politics and law, and chapter 9 explores counterpro- ductive effects of denial in an age of human rights hegemony, the present chapter examines the use of elaborate public rituals toward the reaffirmation of genocide knowledge within each of the contending collectivities. We owe early social-scientific insights into the role of rituals in social life to Émile Durkheim. In his book The Elementary Forms of Religious Life, Durkheim ([1912] 2001) tells us about the ability of rituals to sanctify objects and charge sym- bols that represent them with a special energy.
