Today you can retrace this fascinating story through the treasures of the Archivio Storico Ricordi, the most important private music collection in the world: the great artists who have left an indelible mark in the musical culture, the immortal works of geniuses such as Giuseppe Verdi and Giacomo Puccini, the daring explorations of contemporary composers. Founded in 1808, it represents the historic legacy of the Ricordi publishing house, which was acquired in 1994 by the German media group Bertelsmann which, henceforth, ensures its conservation and cultural development. The extraordinary importance of the Archivio lays in the variety of its documents, which offer a broad comprehensive reflection of Italian culture, industry and society. The Archive, housed within the Palazzo di Brera in Milan, collects manuscript scores, letters by composers, librettists and singers, costume and set designs, librettos, historical photographs and Art Nouveau posters.

  • How Theatre Happens
    Chapter Nine How Theatre Happens by Debra Bruch The theatre is a collaborative effort of giving. That means that a person cannot do theatre alone. Every member must be a part of a cohesive community. The better the community functions, the greater the potential to give and impact people's lives. An understanding of people's roles is necessary to understand how to build this rather unique community. Essentially, we need only the actors, the play, and the audience, but a survey of the expanded version of theatre production is necessary to understand the interrelationships among community members to produce theatre and potentially create a meaningful and spiritual experience. The ideal theatrical enterprise includes the producer, the playwright, the director, the scene designer, the light designer, the costume designer, the sound designer, the properties designer, the makeup designer, the assistant director, the stage manager, the running crew, and the actors. These positions can be divided into two categories. One category is pre‐production. Long before the performance begins, people begin to actualize it. Another category is production. People who fall under this category actually work during the performance. The only group of people who fall under both categories are the actors. PRE­PRODUCTION. The Producer. The producer finds or offers the means to produce theatre. He or she is primarily concerned with monies and as such seeks funds and usually finances anything that needs to be financed. The producer often carries the role of publicist and basic business http://www.danillitphil.com administrator. He or she hires or assigns the director.

W. NORTON AND COMPANY Ƌ ƋĐƋ W. W. Norton & Company has been independent since its founding in 1923, when William Warder Norton and Mary D. Herter Norton first published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education division of New York City’s Cooper Union. The firm soon expanded its program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By midcentury, the two major pillars of Norton’s publishing program—trade books and college texts— were firmly established. In the 1950s, the Norton family transferred control of the company to its employees, and today—with a staff of four hundred and a comparable number of trade, college, and professional titles published each year—W. W. Norton & Company stands as the largest and oldest publishing house owned wholly by its employees. Copyright © 2013 by W. W. Norton & Company, Inc.
