December 2017 /bɒ̃ viːˈvɒ̃, French bɔ̃ vivɑ̃/ {n}: A person who devotes themselves to a sociable and luxurious lifestyle SEPTEMBER – DECEMBER 2017 Cover image: Mehretu, Julie Aether (Venice) 2011, ink and acrylic on canvas, 179 3/4 x 136" © Julie Mehretu Photo by Ben Westoby, courtesy White Cube BON VIVANT AUTUMN 2017 Dear Friends, It’s no secret that autumn is the most electric time of year when it comes to arts and culture, so we’re especially delighted to be back with the autumn edition of BON VIVANT. We received a great deal of positive feedback on the summer edition format, which included recommendations for the months ahead. We’re therefore doing the same for autumn: instead of monthly updates, we’re providing a full season’s worth of expert recommendations and curated ‘must-sees’. I also wanted to call attention to our new BON VIVANT Spotify playlist for the season. We often struggle to fully convey the excitement of the amazing events and experiences we highlight in BON VIVANT. So we thought: why not create a Spotify playlist so you can easily get a taste of the music that’s on offer this autumn, from opera to bossa nova to alternative rock and pop? I hope this autumn will be as vivacious as ever!

  • 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.

Perceptions of Religion from Star Wars and Star Trek Abstract Hollywood films and eligionr have an ongoing rocky relationship, especially in the realm of science fiction. A brief comparison study of the two giants of mainstream sci-fi, Star Wars and Star Trek reveals the differing attitudes toward religion expressed in the genre. Star Trek presents an evolving perspective, from critical secular humanism to begrudging personalized faith, while Star Wars presents an ambiguous mythological foundation for mystical experience that is in more ways universal. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol7/iss2/3 Schultes: Any Gods Out There? Science Fiction has come of age in the 21st century. From its humble beginnings, "Sci- Fi" has been used to express the desires and dreams of those generations who looked up at the stars and imagined life on other planets and space travel, those who actually saw the beginning of the space age, and those who still dare to imagine a universe with wonders beyond what we have today.
