    OSJ’s “THE BARBER OF SEVILLE” Opened with a Standing Ovation By Iride Aparicio Photos by: Pat Kirk BRIAN JAMES MYER as Figaro SAN JOSÉ, CA -- “Figaro, Figaro, Figaro” According to CESARE STERBINI’s Libretto, written for GIACHINO ROSSINI’s opera “IL BARBIERI DI SIVIGLIA,” everybody calls Figaro in Seville, Spain during the seventeenth Century. Figaro was the town’s witty barber, who aside from shaving men’s beards, and fixing ladies’ hair, fixed everything else, if paid for his help. So, (in the libretto) when Count Almaviva (KIRK DOUGHERTY) disguised as Lindoro, a poor student, asks Figaro (BRIAN JAMES MYER) to help him enter the house of Don Bartolo ( VALERIAN RUMINSKI) the guardian of Rosina (RENÉE RAPIER) the woman he loves, Figaro plans a way that when putting it into effect, keep the audience laughing, the singers acting different comic roles and composer Rossini the opportunity to display his marvelous Bel Canto arias interpreted by the singers. KIRK DOUGHERTY as Lindoro and RENÉE RAPIER as Rosina And here we can add that on the opera's opening night, on November 12 at the California Theatre, the Opera San José’s singers voices were top class. On that night, the whole two acts of the work, moved smoothly. It was one of those rare nights in which all the elements go perfectly on the stage. The orchestra under the baton of ANDREW WHITFIELD, sounded rhythmically, and all the solos of the instruments were played in tune. Stage Director, LAYNA CHIANAKAS, managed natural acting from the singers playing the comic roles.

  • Lecture 1: a Short History of Thinking on Poverty
    WIDER Conference, Helsinki 2013 The Idea of Antipoverty Policy Martin Ravallion Georgetown University and NBER “Is there anyone today who would not commit to eliminating poverty?” (Jim Yong Kim, 2013) 1 How did we come to think that eliminating poverty is a legitimate goal for public policy? What types of policies emerged over time in the hope of attaining that goal? 2 Three premises are now widely accepted: Premise 1: Poverty is a social bad Premise 2: Poverty can be eliminated Premise 3: Public policies can help do that • But these premises did not have broad scholarly support 200 years ago. • There has been a dramatic change in economic thinking about poverty—a new model of poverty. 3 The evolution in thinking, in four quotes • “The poor … are like the shadows in a painting: they provide the necessary contrast.” (Philippe Hecquet, 1740). • “Everyone but an idiot knows that the lower classes must be kept poor or they will never be industrious.” (Arthur Young, 1771). • “May we not outgrow the belief that poverty is necessary?” (Alfred Marshall, 1890). • “Our dream is a world free of poverty.” (Motto of the World Bank since 1990). This presentation aims to document and understand this huge change in how we think about poverty in the last 200+ years 4 A simple expository model and some definitions 5 Model of personal wealth dynamics • The credit market is imperfect, such that individuals can only borrow up to λ times their wealth. • Each person has a strictly concave production function yielding output h(k) from a capital stock k.

It has been an amazing journey, which was made pos- sible by the many excellent scholars this book relies on. Part of the pleasure in writing this book came from the people and institutions that provided access to both the primary and the second- ary material.

  • Carlo Goldoni As Musical Reformer
    CARLO GOLDONI AS MUSICAL REFORMER IN SEARCH OF REALISM IN THE DRAMMA GIOCOSO La vraisemblance doit toujours être la principale règle, et sans laquelle toutes les autres deviennent déréglées. -l’Abbé d’Aubignac, La Pratique du Théâtre by Pervinca Rista Dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Baltimore, Maryland March 18, 2015 © Pervinca Rista All Rights Reserved Abstract Venetian playwright Carlo Goldoni (1707-1793), who is best remembered in literary history for his realist ‘reform’ of comic theatre, was also a prolific librettist. In particular, his texts for music written from 1748 onwards remain understudied but warrant significant reappraisal, for Goldoni was one of the first to give shape to the dramma giocoso, an innovative and realistic new genre of opera that went on to have a lasting legacy all the way to W. A. Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte. Through an interdisciplinary, historical approach and intertextual analysis, the present study reevaluates Goldoni’s drammi giocosi, largely overlooked by scholarship, to uncover the lasting innovations in form and content introduced by the Venetian playwright. Analysis of these texts also reveals clear affinity between Goldoni's contributions to the dramma giocoso and his reform of prose theatre. Most importantly, unlike other types of comic opera, the dramma giocoso has the particularity of combining buffo with serio, a dynamic that, through Goldoni's mature output, continually evolves to bring new realism and social relevance to opera theatre. Goldoni’s influence on this type of musical representation has not been fully considered, but the realism in music that he achieves through the dramma giocoso must be acknowledged as a lasting contribution to modern literature, and to operatic history.

  • HOTELS ET CHATEAUX LOUIS Xin
    HOTELS ET CHATEAUX LOUIS Xin Bien que huguenots l'un et l'autre, Abraham Bosse, le gra­ veur, et Gédéon Tallemant des Réaux, l'auteur des Historiettes, ne sont point gens de même farine. Dix-sept années d'ailleurs les séparaient, Bosse étant né en 1602 et Tallemant'des Réaux en 1619. Maniant sa pointe avec soin et habileté mais sans grande imagination, assez gourmé et pesant, Bosse relève plutôt de la petite bourgeoisie des Caquets de l'Accouchée. Ce freluquet de Tallemant fréquente aine société plus relevée, qui se pique de lettres. Il n'a plus la lourdeur du bonhomme L'Estoile, bien qu'il appartienne comme lui à une famille de robe, moindre probablement, en dépit des apparences, que celle de son ancien. Il fait débauche avec les élégants, court les ruelles, écrit de petits vers, hante l'hôtel de Rambouillet. Il a décrit, avec beau­ coup plus de véracité qu'on ne l'a cru longtemps, un monde haut en couleurs, pittoresque, assez faisandé en somme. En tous les milieux de tous les temps, il y a toujours eu, pour em­ ployer l'expression de notre auteur, beaucoup « d'honnêtes femmes qui se gouvernent mal ». Mais enfin, la marquise de Rambouillet, qui est inattaquable, donne la faveur de son amitié à Mlle Paulet, la « lionne », qui sort d'assez bas lieu et qui n'est après tout que ce que nos aïeuls appelaient un « demi-castor ».
