  • Voice Types in Opera
    Voice Types in Opera In many of Central City Opera’s educational programs, we spend some time explaining the different voice types – and therefore character types – in opera. Usually in opera, a voice type (soprano, mezzo soprano, tenor, baritone, or bass) has as much to do with the SOUND as with the CHARACTER that the singer portrays. Composers will assign different voice types to characters so that there is a wide variety of vocal colors onstage to give the audience more information about the characters in the story. SOPRANO: “Sopranos get to be the heroine or the princess or the opera star.” – Eureka Street* “Sopranos always get to play the smart, sophisticated, sweet and supreme characters!” – The Great Opera Mix-up* A soprano is a woman’s voice type. There are many different kinds of sopranos within the general category: coloratura, lyric, and spinto are a few. Coloratura soprano: Diana Damrau as The Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute (Mozart): https://youtu.be/dpVV9jShEzU Lyric soprano: Mirella Freni as Mimi in La bohème (Puccini): https://youtu.be/yTagFD_pkNo Spinto soprano: Leontyne Price as Aida in Aida (Verdi): https://youtu.be/IaV6sqFUTQ4?t=1m10s MEZZO SOPRANO: “There are also mezzos with a lower, more exciting woman’s voice…We get to be magical or mythical characters and sometimes… we get to be boys.” – Eureka Street “Mezzos play magnificent, magical, mysterious, and miffed characters.” – The Great Opera Mix-up A mezzo soprano is a woman’s voice type. Just like with sopranos, there are different kinds of mezzo sopranos: coloratura, lyric, and dramatic.

They invited friends from the world of entertainment and sports to celebrate and reminisce about vintage seasonal sketches in the 1993 special Bob Hope’s Bag Full of Christmas Memories. Bob Hope’s TV Christmas connection began on December 24, 1950, with The Comedy Hour. Heartwarming and fun—that’s the way Bob planned it. No Christmas party would be complete without music, while flubbed lines in some sketches remain intact and a blooper really hits below the belt. The host of Christmases past hands out laughs galore!

  • Music Director Riccardo Muti Begins 2015/16 Season with Celebration of Chicago Symphony Orchestra’S 125Th Anniversary
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: September 3, 2015 Rachelle Roe, 312.294.3090 Eileen Chambers, 312.294.3092 Photos: [email protected] MUSIC DIRECTOR RICCARDO MUTI BEGINS 2015/16 SEASON WITH CELEBRATION OF CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA’S 125TH ANNIVERSARY September 17–October 3, 2015 Fall Residency Features Subscription Concerts, Free Concert for Chicago in Millennium Park, Symphony Ball Gala, and Appearances by Pianist Leif Ove Andsnes and Harpist Xavier de Maistre CHICAGO—Riccardo Muti’s sixth season as music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) begins with a multi-faceted celebration as the CSO kicks off its 125th anniversary season in 2015/16. In 1891, Theodore Thomas took the stage to conduct the Orchestra’s first concert nearly 125 years ago. Thomas could scarcely have imagined that this great ensemble would not only flourish, but would live on long after him. As the Orchestra looks back at its distinguished history this season, its programs reflect the CSO’s heritage and legacy, with most weeks including at least one work that was given its world or U.S. premiere by the CSO. Many of these premieres featured the composer as conductor or soloist, and have since taken their place as cornerstones of the standard orchestral repertoire. CSO Concerts Muti leads a wide range of programs and events between September 17–October 3, 2015, beginning with the season’s first subscription concert at Symphony Center on Thursday, September 17, at 8 p.m., which includes Liszt’s symphonic poem, From the Cradle to the Grave, Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 and Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.

  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Life in the world is very diverse and unique. There are hard, happy, sad, worried, scared and also love. Love is deep feeling for another person. Love not only brings them to the happiness, but also love brings them to grief. The concern of human existence comes from an insistence that human life should be a full of life, a complete of life and rich of life. The meaning of life is a concept that provides an answer to the philosophical question concerning the purpose and significance of life or existence in general. The meaning of life is deeply entrenched in the philosophical and religious conceptions of existence, social ties, consciousness, and happiness, and borders on many other issues, such as symbolic meaning, ontology, value, purpose, ethics, good and evil, free will, conceptions of God, the existence of God, the soul, and the afterlife. The searching for existence is actually one of human efforts in building their meaning of life. People can find the meaning of life when they think that they manage to actualize their idealism. By actualizing their idealism people can find their identity. Leap Year was released on January 8th, 2010 In Theaters and On DVD May 4, 2010. Leap Year is directed by Anand Tucker for Universal Pictures/Spyglass. The script was written by Deborah Kaplan and Harry 1 2 Elfont. The stars are Amy Adams, Matthew Goode and Adam Scott. On October 17, 2008, Anand Tucker casted Amy Adams to act as Anna Brady was to star in the film.
