PECHINEY has sponsored Les Arts Florissants since 1990. I I Act I Night. Zoroastro, a magician, studies Orlando's destiny in the movement of the stars. Orlando appears, torn by conflict between his heroic duty and his love for Angelica, Queen of Cathay. Zoroastro reveals himself to be the hero's spiritual guardian, and urges him to abandon his pursuit of love, and to follow only his duty. He illustrates his advice with a vision depicting the dangers of sensual love. However, Orlando believes that he will be able to reconcile both his love and his duty... In a forest, the shepherdess Dorinda reflects on her happiness and her love for Medoro, an African prince. When Orlando suddenly appears rescuing an unknown woman, Dorinda concludes that he too must be subject to the laws of desire ... Angelica once loved Orlando (who saved her life), but now confesses to herself her new passion for Medoro. He loves her too, and Angelica promises him that he shall share her kingdom. Medoro's dilemma is how to break this news to Dorinda, whom he no longer loves. Unable to tell her the truth, he reassures her that he still cares for her. Dorinda allows herself to be deceived by his lie ... Angelica finds herself in a similar predicament to Medoro: unable to confess to Orlando that she no longer loves him, she accuses him of loving another woman. Orlando denies this, and declares that he would face any danger to prove the strength of his love. Angelica and Medoro decide to escape before Orlando discovers the truth, but before they can leave, Dorinda finds them together. The lovers try to console the distraught girl. Angelica gives her a bracelet. Dorinda foresees for herself only sadness and solitude. Interm ission Act II Listening to the nightingale's song, Dorinda finds echoes of her own sad­ ness. She shows Orlando the bracelet which Angelica gave to her, and he immediately recognizes it as a present he once gave to Angelica. Dorinda also tells Orlando that Angelica now loves Medoro, the man she herself adores. Orlando, in a suicidal fury, swears to pursue Angelica as far as the ga tes of Hell. ... Zoroastro offers to help Angelica and Medoro, advising them to let reason be their guide. Medoro carves his and Angelica's initials in the bark of a tree as a permanent witness of their love. Angelica feels guilty for deserting Orlando but rea lizes tha t she cannot control her love for Medoro. She bids farewell to the trees which first witnessed their love ... Orlando is enraged to discover their initials carved on a tree and pursues Angelica. She is protected by Zoroastro and escapes him. Orlando, completely overwhelmed by his conflicting emotions, loses his reason. In his mad hallucination, he imagines that he has descended into Hell where he sees Charon's boat, Pluto surrounded by smoke and flame, the barking Cerberus, and even Medoro in the arms of Persephone, who weeps ... Inte rmi ssion fy Act Ill Medora returns to Dorinda's house to wai t for Angelica. Dorinda wishes he had returned for her, but he explains that his heart is no longer his own to offer. Orlando appears and declares his love for Dorinda. She is at first flattered, but soon rea lizes that he is still mad. Dorinda tells Angelica of Orlando's madness. Angel ica expresses her pity for him. Dorinda reflects on love, a power which brings as much pain as joy... In order to restore Orlando to his senses, Zoroastro transforms the scene into a nigh tm are landscape. Dorinda, in tears, tells Angelica that Orlando has destroyed her house, and buried Medora alive in the ruins. Orlando threatens to kill Angelica; lamenting Medora's fate, she begs him to do so. He kills her... Declaring that he has now rid the world of all its monsters, Orlando fal ls into a deep sleep.

    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one?
