Atti Parlamentari Camera dei Deputati – 1905 – Senato della Repubblica XVIII LEGISLATURA — DISEGNI DI LEGGE E RELAZIONI — DOCUMENTI — DOC. XV N. 168 VOL. II BILANCIO CONSUNTIVO 2017 BILANCIO CONUNTIVO 2015 baritono Domenico Balzani ha dimostrato una buona capacità di fraseggio e ha convinto dal punto di vista scenico: “(…) si dimostra pienamente consapevole e padrone della situazione, trovando sempre le giuste sfumature e bei colori. Il suo canto è virile ed appassionato però mai spinto all’eccesso, risolvendo con finezza la figura più sfaccettata – vocalmente psicologica – di quest’opera” (Gilberto Mion, Torna a Trieste il lavoro giovanile di Bizet, in “Teatro.it”, 14/03/2017). Nel principale ruolo femminile, Léïla, Mihaela Marcu ha incantato il pubblico: “(…) le sue qualità mostrano come ella sia ad oggi una cantante dalle capacità attoriali sopraffine, anche senza considerare un carisma scenico che le consente di attirare l'attenzione dello spettatore fin dal suo primo incedere sul palco del Verdi. Artista completa, è capace di gestire il timbro rotondo e una voce dal colore inconfondibile grazie a un’emissione morbida, a una tecnica raffinata e a una gestione dei fiati sempre più convincente, a riprova del grande studio prima di ogni produzione” (Andrea R. G. Pedrotti, Le perle di Leila, in “L’Ape musicale”, 13/03/2017). Nel secondo cast i principali ruoli maschili sono stati interpretati da Merto Sungu (Nadir), apprezzato nella produzione di Die Zauberflöte di gennaio, e da Stefano Meo (Zurga), già sul palco triestino nel Rigoletto del 2016, mentre nel ruolo di Léïla troviamo il soprano coreano Hye myung Kang. In tutte le rappresentazioni Gianluca Breda ha interpretato un Nourabad di personalità. - Il segreto di Susanna di Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari: nel terzo appuntamento della rassegna “L’Opera in un atto”, una delle novità più apprezzate della Stagione Lirica e di Balletto, ha debuttato al Teatro Verdi Il segreto di Susanna di Ermanno Wolf–Ferrari con una produzione nuova, internazionale e di ottimo livello. La regia è stata affidata a Daniele Guerra, romano d’origine e con una solida esperienza nei teatri europei, che ha ben curato i caratteri dei personaggi, le interazioni tra di loro e tutti i movimenti. Le scene, pulite ed essenziali arricchite da giochi d’ombra, e i costumi, sobri ma funzionali, sono stati realizzati da Angelo Canu. La raffinata partitura di Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari è stata affidata alla bacchetta del Maestro Takayuki Yamasaki che “ben si disimpegna nella prova” (Matteo Firmi, Divertente e travolgente questo segreto di Susanna, in “Radio In Corso”, 19/03/2017) e l’Orchestra, nel complesso, ha avuto un rendimento positivo (Paolo Bullo, Teatro Verdi: il segreto di Susanna, in “OperaClick”, 21/03/2017). Nel cast figurano tre eccellenti artisti: il personaggio di Susanna è stato interpretato da Marie Fajtova; “La voce del soprano è di bel colore, di buon volume, e nonostante un vibrato stretto piuttosto pronunciato rimane sempre gradevole. L’attrice è spigliata, convincente e dinamica e perciò il personaggio è stato risolto sia nella civettuola malizia sia nel malinconico abbandono” (Paolo Bullo, Teatro Verdi: il segreto di Susanna, in “OperaClick”, 21/03/2017). La protagonista è stata affiancata dal baritono Alessio Cacciamani, al suo debutto sul palcoscenico del Verdi, nel ruolo del gelosissimo Conte Gil: Cacciamani “(…) con disinvoltura sfoggia una bella voce rotonda (…)” (Matteo Firmi, Divertente e travolgente questo segreto di Susanna, in “Radio In Corso”, 19/03/2017) e ha impersonificato in maniera efficiente il suo personaggio. Completa il cast, nel ruolo di Sante, Motoharu Takei, cantante ormai famigliare al pubblico triestino, che si è fatto notare e apprezzare per le sue doti attoriali, e in questa occasione è stato divertente ed indispensabile nella storia dell’Opera. - Tristan und Isolde di Richard Wagner: nella nuova produzione di Tristan und Isolde della Fondazione triestina, la regia, affidata a Guglielmo Ferro, si è ben adattata al nuovo, raffinato ed essenziale allestimento firmato da Pier Paolo Bisleri per le scene e da Virginia Carnabuci per i costumi. L’allestimento, nel complesso, ha sottolineato nel più profondo gli elementi intimi e tragici della storia dei due protagonisti, con pochi elementi, ma ben organizzati nello spazio scenico; “(…) un allestimento di “Tristan und Isolde” che fa riflettere, che altrettanto sa commuovere, rapire e trascendere nella sostanza metafisica del capolavoro assoluto” (Dejan Bozovic, Da non perdere – “Tristan und Isolde” al Teatro Verdi di Trieste, in “Circuito Musica, 11/04/2017). Sul podio, il ritorno del Maestro Christopher Franklin, presenza ormai famigliare al pubblico triestino, che, con la sua direzione, ha contribuito enormemente al successo della produzione. “Energico, profondo conoscitore del compositore tedesco. Instancabile e ben visibile al pubblico in ogni sua evoluzione, Franklyn ha dato nuova luce all’orchestra del teatro lirico triestino, essa infatti ha davvero superato se stessa in questa difficile partitura rendendola fluida e travolgente” (Alessandra Ressa, “Tristan und Isolde” al “Verdi” conferma con lunghi applausi la passione dei triestini per Wagner, in “Trieste Prima”, 11/04/2017); “(…) il maestro si abbandona con dottrina e con anima alla sublime partitura, raccogliendone i molteplici fili in un’unica trama cangiante, pulsante, e a momenti deflagrante, eppure sempre solida, compatta, priva di sfaldature e benché minime crepe. Esemplare è la sua attenzione ai cantanti nonché la sicurezza nel coordinare il golfo mistico e il palcoscenico (…)”” (Dejan Bozovic, Da non perdere – “Tristan und Isolde” al Teatro Verdi di Trieste, in “Circuito Musica, 11/04/2017). In scena una compagnia di grande prestigio e affiatamento, dove i due protagonisti sono apparsi in armonia tra loro. Nel ruolo di Tristano Bryan Register, tenore americano dal timbro fresco e luminoso e dall’impostazione canora di forte drammaticità, “(…) possiede la voce adeguata alla parte, che richiede un colore baritonale ed un registo acuto luminoso; l’interpretazione, la scansione della frase musicale, è pure stata all’altezza del ruolo che, nel terzo atto, esige una vera e propria prova di forza” (Andrea Merli, Tristano e Isotta, in “Impiccione viaggiatore”, 16/04/2017); ed è stata molto apprezzata anche la performance del secondo Tristano di Hans-Georg Wimmer. Il principale ruolo femminile, Isotta, è stato affidato al soprano britannico Allison Oakes, vincitrice di numerosi premi internazionali, ha riscosso un enorme successo sia di pubblico che di critica; è stata apprezzata soprattutto per il timbro e le molte sfumature della voce sapendo far emergere i caratteri contrastanti del suo personaggio: “(…) domina senza problemi la parte di Isolde; voce possente, a tratti ferrigna, canta con grande musicalità e buon controllo del suo strumento che sa piegare a tutte le sfumature, arrivando alla scena finale della trasfigurazione d’amore sorprendentemente riposata così da offrire una coinvolgente esecuzione della celebre pagina” (Stefano Bisacchi, Trieste, Teatro Verdi . Tristan und Isolde, in “Connessi all’Opera”, 08/04/2017). Nel secondo cast, Isotta è stata interpretata dal soprano serbo Ana Petricevic, già apprezzata dal pubblico triestino nel Die Fledermaus nella Stagione Lirica 2015-2016. Nel ruolo di Re Marke il basso bielorusso Alexey Birkus, membro dell’Ensemble del Nuremberg National Theater e vincitore, nel 2015, del titolo di “Best Young Male Singer’” nell’Austrian Music Theater Awards (Vienna), si è distinto per l’elegante presenza scenica e il buon volume della voce. Nel ruolo di Kurwenal Nicolò Ceriani baritono triestino molto amato dal pubblico per la voce corposa e ben proiettata e per le sue doti di attore: “Ceriani si esprime con il canto ma anche con la gestualità, con il linguaggio del corpo, con una mimica (…)” (Rossana Poletti, Tristan und Isolde nella bella messa in scena del regista Guglielmo Ferro. Il Register e la Oakes portentosi, in “Amici della Musica”). A completare la compagnia di canto Motoharu Takei nel ruolo di Melot, Susanne BILANCIO CONUNTIVO 2015 Pag. 66 di 147 Camera dei Deputati – 1906 – Senato della Repubblica XVIII LEGISLATURA — DISEGNI DI LEGGE E RELAZIONI — DOCUMENTI — DOC.

A distanza di una decina d’anni dall’ultima messinscena sul palcoscenico del Verdi, l’Opera vede per la prima volta sul podio triestino il Maestro Guillermo García la cui direzione è stata definita da Gilberto Mion “superlativa” in quanto “il senso del racconto non manca mai, l’abbandono al canto e la leggerezza nel sostenere il cast neppure” (Gilberto Mion, Dalla Polonia, un’Amina dai tratti dolci e soavi, in “Teatro.it”, 09/05/2017). “L’Orchestra del Verdi si conferma, come al solito, formazione di assoluto affidamento” (Paolo Locatelli, La sonnambula al Verdi di Trieste, in “Il Discorso”, 07/05/2017). In scena al Teatro Verdi l’allestimento della Fondazione Lirico Sinfonica Petruzzelli e Teatri di Bari la cui ambientazione della storia avviene in un mondo irreale, ossia in stanze con mobili di dimensioni gigantesche dove i diversi artisti fungono da bambole, mentre davanti vi è un mondo in miniatura

  • The Aubrey-Maturin Chronicles: Master and Commander / Post Captain / Hms Surprise Volume 1 Ebook
    FREETHE AUBREY-MATURIN CHRONICLES: MASTER AND COMMANDER / POST CAPTAIN / HMS SURPRISE VOLUME 1 EBOOK Patrick O'Brian,Robert Hardy | 9 pages | 01 May 2009 | HarperCollins Publishers | 9780007319305 | English | London, United Kingdom The Ships of Jack Aubrey Like any stout-hearted Royal Navy midshipman or lieutenant, Jack Aubrey hungered for glory and for command of a ship. Indeed, the two were vitally connected, for the first was a path to the second and the latter -- with luck -- could bring the former. In the very first chapter of the first volume in Patrick O'Brian's magnificent series of novels about Jack Aubrey and his friend Stephen Maturin, Aubrey obtained his first real command on April 19, And glory followed. This web page explores all of Jack Aubrey's vessels from the small sloop-of-war HMS Sophie of which he takes command at the beginning of Master and Commander through more than a dozen other sloops, frigates and ships-of-the-line until we leave him in The Final, Unfinished Voyage of Jack Aubrey on the ship-of-the-line Suffolk, having raised his flag as rear admiral. And for any who might protest at the imprecision in the title of this page, the Sophie being only a brig and thus not truly a ship by the definition of the sea, I must fall back upon the sage words of that eminent nautical authority, Stephen Maturin: "Let us not be pedantical, for all love! For more than a decade I have been an avid fan of the nautical novels of Patrick O'Brian, an enthusiasm growing out of my long-standing interest in naval warships of the "Age of Fighting Sail" perhaps first sparked by childhood visits to "Old Ironsides".

    F E B R U A R Y - 2 0 2 0 PRESERVATION EDUCATION RESEARCH INSPIRE Dear Member: A huge thanks to everyone who attended our all day In-Depth Seminar on “Neanderthals & Early Humans”. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did putting it on. Now the Board has to figure on how we top it next year! This month we are featuring Dr. Thomas Pluckhahn of University of South Florida. He is going to tell us about his recent excavations at the Safety Harbor Site in Tampa. Come join us on the 19th. Don’t forget your dues are now due. Previously membership dues were collected on your anniversary date, but this has proven very hard to administer. So with that in mind, the Board changed the procedure so that all member- ship dues will be due in January. Thank you for being a Time Sifters member. Darwin “Smitty” Smith, President [email protected] February 19, 6:00 PM - Selby Library, 1331 First St., Sarasota Remembering Tocobaga: Recent Archaeology at the Safety Harbor Site in Tampa Bay Dr. Tom Pluckhahn Professor, University of South Florida The Safety Harbor site is widely recognized as the probable location of the native town of Tocobaga, where Spanish Governor Pedro Menéndez de Avilés established a short-lived mission-fort in the 1560s. It later became the location for the plantation owned by one of the area’s most legendary settlers, “Count” Odet Philippe. Philippe is said to have been a childhood friend of Napoleon. He was the first European settler of Pinellas County, the first to cultivate citrus in Florida, and the first to introduce cigar rolling to Tampa Bay; generally omitted from such tall tales is the fact that he was slave owner of likely Afro-Caribbean heritage.

Only the wondrous ingenuity of Stephen, along with the unexpected appearance of one of Jack's oldest allies, leads them to escape, and to dubious safety in a penal colony at New South Wales. Emily Dickinson said there is no frigate like a book. The gleeful manner in which Patrick O'Brian fires these semantic broadsides across my bows brows! Most of the novels in the series tell the story exclusively from the point of view of Maturin or Aubrey, either through descriptions through their eyes, direct conversations, their internal thoughts, or their letters and diary entries. It's hard for me to explain why I like these books so much. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. First edition cover. Critic Reviews " Her smaller consort deserts the fight.

  • Master & Commander
    HOME READING Patrick O’Brian MASTER & COMMANDER I. APPRAISAL The story begins in Port Mahon in year 1800. Jack Aubrey is made captain of the Sophie just after he first met Stephen Maturin. At first they don't like each other but their mutual love of music brings them together. Despite their very different natures they do have more than a little in common: both are broke, both are out of work, and both are in need of an opportunity. Aubrey induces Maturin to ship as his surgeon. At first assigned the lowly duty of convoying merchant ships, the Sophie sails east from Minorca with a dozen merchant ships to Cagliari, a fortified seaport on the southern coast of Sardinia. From Cagliari she escorts another convoy of merchant ships north to Leghorn (Livorno), a major Tuscan seaport, which is neutral and open to ships of all nations. In the Genoa roads, Aubrey gets his break when Lord Keith, Admiral of the Blue and commander in chief in the Mediterranean, orders the Sophie to cruise the French and Spanish coasts down to Cape Nao to menace their commercial ports and vessels. In short order Aubrey takes full advantage of this command and makes his overachieving ship an infamous nuisance to the enemy. Spanish merchants convince their government to send the ship Cacafuego after Aubrey. But he fools the bigger ship by pretending to be a Danish brig with a plague-ridden crew. The deception is so successful that the smaller ship might have seized the opportunity to attack her predator, but the captain refuses to take this perhaps morally unfair advantage.

    Patrick O’Brian Clarissa Oakes «HarperCollins» O’Brian P. Clarissa Oakes / P. O’Brian — «HarperCollins», Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin tales are widely acknowledged to be the greatest series of historical novels ever written. Now, for the first time, they are available in electronic book format, so a whole new generation of readers can be swept away on the adventure of a lifetime. This is the fifteenth book in the series.All the elements that have made Patrick O’Brian’s astonishing series one of the most highly praised works in contemporary fiction are here in Clarissa Oakes – the narrative grip, the impeccable ear for dialogue, the humour and the unsurpassed capacity to create and recreate a rich and true friendship between two men in the late eighteenth- century.Captain Jack Aubrey sails away from the hated Australian prison colonies in his favourite vessel the Surprise, pondering on middle age and sexual frustration. He soon becomes aware that he is out of touch with the mood of his ship: to his astonishment he finds that in spite of a lifetime’s experience he does not know what the foremost hands or even his own officers are thinking. They know, as he does not, that the Surprise has a stranger aboard: and what they, for their part, do not know is that the stranger is potentially as dangerous as a light in the powder magazine itself. © O’Brian P. © HarperCollins P.

  • From Hells Afloat to Happy Ships: Naval Fiction's Influence Upon The
    From Hells Afloat to Happy Ships: Naval Fiction’s Influence Upon the History of the Royal Navy during the Georgian Era Kelly Kathleen Chaves De la représentation du dix-neuvième-siècle de “l'enfer à flot” à la description du 21ème siècle des “bateaux heureux," le ton de l'histoire sociale navale a changé nettement avec le temps. Ce changement, autant progressif que radical, de l'historiographie a été occasioné par l'influence de la fiction navale de Smollett, de Forester et d'O'Brian. En examinant chronologiquement les contributions fictives des auteurs indiqués et de la littérature scolaire de la marine royale de 1748-2007, cet article argue du fait que le ton et l'emphase de l'histoire sociale navale a été toujours influencée par la fiction navale populaire du jour. “Don’t talk to me of naval tradition!” Winston Churchill reputedly snapped as he stormed out of a Cabinet meeting in 1914, “The only traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, sodomy and the lash.”1 While rum, sodomy and the lash existed in equal proportions in the Georgian Navy to which Churchill referred, the early social history of the Royal Navy originally presented no more than this bleak trilogy. In this version of history, sailors suffered under sadistic captains who enjoyed ordering floggings; the sailors debauched innocent youths sent to sea and numbed themselves with grog, the 1 I would like to thank Roger Knight and N.A.M. Rodger for responding to my numerous questions and John Hattendorf for allowing me to interview him and for reading an early draft of this article.

  • Did Willoughby Join the Navy? Patrick O'brian's Thirty-Year Homage To
    Did Willoughby Join the t Navy? Patrick O’Brian’s :L Thirty-Year Homage to i Jane Austen JAMES R. SIMMONS, JR. James R. Simmons, Jr., Associate Professor of English at Louisiana Tech University, has published articles and reviews in Brontë Studies, Victorian Studies, English Language Notes, and The Dickensian. His book, Factory Lives: Four Nineteenth-Century Working Class Autobiographies, will be published in 2005. Perhaps no author during the last two centuries has been compared to Jane Austen as frequently, and as favorably, as the acknowledged master of the late twentieth-century maritime-adventure novel, Patrick O’Brian. The twenty novels and the fragment of a twenty-first in O’Brian’s Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin saga, informally known as the Master and Commander series, bear a striking resemblance to Austen’s work. Both Austen’s and O’Brian’s novels largely take place during the Regency and the years preced- ing it, but Austen was writing about her own times, whereas O’Brian, who died in 2002, was writing about a time that had long since passed. Yet given that many authors have written about the early nineteenth century, what prompts statements such as Time’s “If Jane Austen had written rousing sea yarns, she would have produced something very close to the prose of Patrick O’Brian” (Gray 91)? Austen’s novels are concerned with life, love, and man- ners, and it has been pointed out that Austen for the most part ignores “the decisive historical events of her time” such as “the Napoleonic wars” (Williams 113).
