Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met regisseur Jetske Mijnssen. Mijnssen regisseert bij De Nationale Opera, in het kader van het Holland Festival, de opera Simon Boccanegra van Giuseppe Verdi. Deze opera vol politieke intriges, liefde en verraad vertelt het verhaal van Simon Boccanegra, die kort na het verlies van zijn geliefde én zijn dochter, wordt uitgeroepen tot leider van het politiek verscheurde Genua. Verdi schetst een portret van een vader en politicus die tevergeefs verlangt naar rust en vrijheid.   Het werk van Jetske Mijnssen kenmerkt zich door een scherp oog voor de psychologie van haar personages. Internationaal heeft ze bovendien een bijzondere reputatie opgebouwd met haar expertise in barok en vroegklassiek werk. Haar productie van Rossi's Orfeo werd bekroond met de Grand Prix du Syndicat de la Critique en bij Opernhaus Zürich ensceneerde ze onder meer Hippolyte et Aricie, Orlando Paladino, Platée en Agrippina. Daarnaast regisseerde zij onder anderen Dialogues des Carmélites (Opernhaus Zürich en Semperoper Dresden), Pelléas et Mélisande (Bayerische Staatsoper München) en Parsifal (Glyndebourne Festival). Bij De Nationale Opera tekende zij eerder voor de regie van Donizetti's Tudor-trilogie (Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda, Roberto Devereux).

Alle 21 il viaggio continua con Alessandro Vanoli alla scoperta dell'Oriente e della sua storia (Oriente).Sabato 11 aprile gli incontri si spostano al Castello.

A musical monument becomes a movement: With Messa da Requiem, the Queensland Ballet is bringing a ballet version of Giuseppe Verdi's masterpiece to an Australian stage for the first time from the end of March. The choreography is by Christian Spuck, director of the Staatsballett Berlin, who entrusts his work to an Australian company for the first time. Even before he arrives in Brisbane, two close confidants Spucks rehearse the production: Daniel Mulligan and Katja Wünsche. They know his signature exactly — and bring the impressive interplay of music, dance and existential questions to the stage. - Ein musikalischer Urknall wird zur Bewegung: Mit Messa da Requiem bringt das Queensland Ballet ab Ende März erstmals eine Ballettfassung von Giuseppe Verdis Meisterwerk auf eine australische Bühne.

Noch vor seiner Ankunft in Brisbane proben zwei enge Vertraute Spucks die Inszenierung ein: Daniel Mulligan und Katja Wünsche. Sie kennen seine Handschrift genau – und bringen das eindrucksvolle Zusammenspiel aus Musik, Tanz und existenziellen Fragen auf die Bühne.

Fidel i militant del r

Elk halfjaar een andere lidstaat die de EU voorzit. Na Denemarken nu Cyprus. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger schetsen de dramatische politieke omstandigheden waarin dit eiland die bijzondere Europese rol moet gaan spelen. Drie existentiële, lange termijn uitdagingen moeten nu in hoog tempo een antwoord vinden. - Oorlog en vrede in Oekraïne en de EU-defensierol daarbij - Het Meerjarig Financieel Kader voor de Unie van 2028 tot en met 2034 - Het antwoord op Trumps nationale veiligheidsstrategie Elk van deze cruciale thema's zal direct het functioneren van een kabinet-Jetten onder druk zetten. Er is alle reden om grondig na te denken over de aansturing van de EU-koers van het nieuwe kabinet. De positie van Nederland is tijdens Schoof dramatisch verzwakt en de statuur van een Lubbers of een Rutte in Europa zal Jetten dan ook niet als vanzelfsprekend kunnen claimen. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** De rol van de EU bij Oekraïne kan alleen sterk zijn als de Unie echt als geheel zijn defensiebeleid en productie gaat voeren. Juist ook als Europese pilaar binnen de NAVO, samen met de Britten, Noren en Turken, en ook met Canada. In het kader van de veiligheidsgaranties voor Oekraïne en Moldavië zal een snelle en heel nieuwe vorm van toetreding van die landen tot de Unie hoogst actueel kunnen worden. Dat raakt direct de aanstaande toetreding van landen als Montenegro en Albanië. Bij de nieuwe zevenjaarsbegroting is de positie van Nederland precair. De afkerige houding van het kabinet-Schoof heeft ons land weinig bondgenoten geschonken. Bovendien moet Nederland ook voor de eigen begrotingsperikelen rekenen op medewerking vanuit Brussel. Daarbij komt dat grote buur Duitsland en de Scandinavische geestverwanten binnen de Unie nu meer dan voorheen de lijn van Mario Draghi en Ursula von der Leyen waarderen. Handhaaft Nederland de klassieke vrekkige houding, dan zou het wel eens geïsoleerd kunnen komen staan. Zo'n startpositie kan Rob Jetten zich bij het begin van zijn kabinet moeilijk veroorloven. Het antwoord op Trumps vernietigende analyse van toekomst en kwaliteit van de EU en zijn voorkuren voor 'verdeel en heers' tussen individuele lidstaten kwam in Den Haag scherp aan de orde tijdens een ontmoeting met Mark Rutte’s adjunct secretaris-generaal Radmila Šekerinska. Dat een Franse minister de Amerikaanse veiligheidsstrategie een ‘brutalité ideologique’ had genoemd, zette wel de toon. Relativering kwam meteen, want had niet élke Amerikaanse president sinds Dwight Eisenhower de Europese partners gemaand hun met het Wirtschaftswunder herwonnen welvaart ook voor hun verdediging in te zetten? Dat poetste niet weg dat Donald Trump - hoe anders dan Eisenhower, Richard Nixon of Ronald Reagan - de EU als zodanig een vijandelijk fenomeen vindt en Europa ‘een stervende beschaving’ noemt. De aanvankelijke sprakeloosheid van Europese leiders was dan ook niet zo vreemd. Eén van hen doorbrak die stilte. Bondskanselier Friedrich Merz kondigde ijskoud het einde aan van de 'Pax Americana'. Trumps omhelzing van radicaal-rechtse Europese partijen liet hij niet over zijn kant gaan. De VS keren terug naar de Monroe Doctrine uit de eerste helft van de 19e eeuw. Dezelfde tijd waarnaar Alexander Doegin en Vladimir Poetin verwijzen voor hun visie op de 'Ruski Mir', het unieke Russische nationalisme, dat het land een imperium met eigen beschaving verleende dat buurlanden als vazallen of buffers mocht onderdrukken. Net als in die jaren van Klemens von Metternich en later Otto von Bismarck zint Trump met Poetin op een wereldwijde dominantie van een kerngroep van vijf wereldmachten waarin voor de EU geen plaat is. De VS, Rusland, China, India en Japan maken de dienst uit, is de Amerikaanse gedachte. Verdeel en heers is ook het motto bij een ander wereldwijd initiatief uit Washington. De Pax Silica zou de hightech, chips en AI avant garde rond Amerika moeten scharen. En tegenover China. Slechts één EU-lidstaat rekent Washington tot die elite van de technologie: Nederland. Dit lijkt eervol, maar het zou ons land ook kunnen isoleren in EU en NAVO. Als Nederland beticht zou worden van een Alleingang ten koste van de partners, dan kon de positie van ons land wel eens precair worden. Cyprus krijgt komend half jaar heel wat voor de kiezen. Wie de historie en cultuur van dit eiland kent zal vaststellen dat ze daar eigenlijk al tientallen eeuwen geopolitieke en strategische crises en krachtmetingen gewend zijn. Van Alexander de Grote en de Perzen tot farao Echnaton en de kaliefs en sultans, vele heersers moeten zich met het eiland en zijn unieke strategische locatie en rijkdom aan zeldzame aardmetalen bezighouden. Rusland poogde het te veroveren, maar Bismarck bemiddelde en verzon het compromis dat de Britten het eiland maar beter konden inlijven. De Britse kruisvaarder koning Richard Lionheart moest er zijn bruid bevrijden en kroonde haar daar tot zijn koningin. Venetië kocht het eiland als vastgoed voor zijn maritieme handelsimperium en raakte daardoor verzeild in een felle oorlog met de Turken. Dat leverde ons wel de beste, meest dramatische opera van Giuseppe Verdi op. *** Verder luisteren 447 - Als Trump wint staat Europa er alleen voor https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/eee9ebfb-042b-4753-b70d-a48e915b5beb 551 – Klem tussen Amerika en China: de koude oorlog rond ASML https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/551-klem-tussen-amerika-en-china-de-nieuwe-koude-oorlog-rond-asml 548 – Poetins dictaat voor Oekraïne https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/548-poetins-dictaat-voor-oekra-ne 518 – Veiligheid is voor de Denen een sterke defensie en een streng migratiebeleid https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/f93ccf69-6946-455f-b401-c804dd5a03e9 503 - Duitsland maakt een nieuwe start met bondskanselier Friedrich Merz https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/b42190b5-afcd-4a80-af7c-20d9d8467a27 488 - Het Congres van Wenen (1814-1815) als briljant machtsspel https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/1423134d-c671-4a71-805a-1d21ab9f7de6 486 - ‘Welkom in onze hel’ Een jonge verslaggever aan het front in Oekraïne https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/0552f0eb-998a-4af2-8960-05429aa1f510 458 - De gedroomde nieuwe wereldorde van Poetin en Xi https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/7e62cdac-bdb9-450c-af23-a7f974ec3e42 455 - De bufferstaat als historische - maar ongewenste - oplossing voor Oekraïne https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/0feef3c8-fd13-4461-860a-e54e2eba2f2c 427 - Europa wordt een grootmacht en daar moeten we het over hebben https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/84273d61-0203-4764-b876-79a25695bed1 *** Tijdlijn 00:00:00 – Deel 1 00:40:05 – Deel 2 01:14:43 – Deel 3 01:42:48 – EindeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Day in Legal History: Spiro Agnew ResignsOn October 10, 1973, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned from office after pleading nolo contendere (no contest) to a charge of federal income tax evasion. This marked the first time in U.S. history that a sitting vice president resigned due to criminal charges. Agnew, who had been under investigation for bribery, extortion, and tax fraud from his time as Baltimore County Executive and Governor of Maryland, struck a deal with federal prosecutors to avoid jail time.Agnew's resignation came amid the broader constitutional crisis surrounding the Nixon administration, which was already under intense scrutiny due to the unfolding Watergate scandal. While Agnew denied the bribery allegations, he admitted he failed to report $29,500 in income received in 1967. As part of the plea agreement, he was fined $10,000 and placed on three years' probation, but avoided prison.His departure triggered the use of the 25th Amendment, specifically Section 2, which allows the president to nominate a new vice president when a vacancy occurs. President Nixon nominated Gerald R. Ford, then House Minority Leader, who was confirmed by both chambers of Congress. Less than a year later, Nixon himself would resign, and Ford would ascend to the presidency—making him the only U.S. president never elected to the office of president or vice president.New York Attorney General Letitia James was indicted on October 9, 2025, for allegedly providing false information on a mortgage application. A federal grand jury in Virginia charged her with bank fraud and making a false statement to a lending institution, accusing her of falsely claiming she would use a property in Norfolk, Virginia, as a secondary residence. The indictment alleges that by misrepresenting her intent, James secured a lower interest rate, saving around $19,000. She denies wrongdoing and called the charges a politically motivated attack by the Trump administration, which she has clashed with repeatedly.The case follows a recent indictment of former FBI Director James Comey and ongoing investigations into other Trump critics, including Senator Adam Schiff and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. Critics, including James' attorney Abbe Lowell and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, claim Trump is using the Justice Department for political retaliation. The case was brought by U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, a recent Trump appointee, reportedly without involvement from career prosecutors. James is expected to appear in court on October 24.The legal battle comes amid ongoing litigation between James and Trump, most notably a civil fraud case that initially led to a $454 million penalty against Trump, later overturned on appeal. James' team plans to fight the charges vigorously, suggesting her misstatements were not intentional.Letitia James, NY attorney general and Trump foe, indicted for mortgage fraud | ReutersA federal judge in Chicago has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Illinois, citing concerns that the move could escalate tensions rather than ease them. U.S. District Judge April Perry questioned the federal government's justification for sending troops to manage what it described as unrest around an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois. The state had sued the Trump administration, arguing the deployment was unnecessary and politically motivated. Perry noted that federal officers' own actions had sparked the protests and warned that additional troops would “add fuel to the fire.” Her injunction will remain in place until at least October 23.This ruling follows a similar block in Portland, Oregon, though a federal appeals court in San Francisco now seems poised to overturn that decision, possibly clearing the way for future deployments. The Trump administration has defended the use of troops, claiming it's necessary to protect federal property, while Democratic leaders in affected states accuse the president of misrepresenting peaceful protests as violent uprisings.Governor JB Pritzker called the court's ruling a win for the rule of law, arguing there's no rebellion requiring a military response in Illinois. The White House, meanwhile, pledged to appeal the decision, with Trump reiterating plans to expand troop deployments to other cities, including Chicago and Memphis. Critics argue this strategy stretches the limits of presidential authority and raises legal concerns over the military's role in domestic law enforcement.US judge blocks Trump's deployment of National Guard in Illinois | ReutersThe U.S. Senate confirmed Jennifer Mascott, a conservative legal scholar and Trump ally, to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a 50-47 vote, further shifting the court to the right. Her confirmation drew criticism from Democrats, particularly from Delaware senators, who objected to her lack of ties to the state traditionally associated with the vacant seat. Her only known Delaware connection is a beach house, prompting concerns about broken precedent and political loyalty.Mascott, who has clerked for Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, was on leave from her faculty position at Catholic University while working in the White House Counsel's Office. Senate Republicans praised her conservative legal background and past testimony before the Judiciary Committee. In contrast, Democrats criticized her nomination as partisan, with Senator Chuck Schumer labeling her a “sycophant” to Trump.This appointment, along with the recent confirmation of Emil Bove—a former Trump DOJ official and personal attorney—gives Republican appointees a majority on the 3rd Circuit, which hears appeals from Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.Democrats also voiced frustration over the elimination of the “blue slip” tradition, which once allowed home-state senators to block appellate nominees. Republicans ended that practice during Trump's first term, enabling confirmations like Mascott's over local opposition. On the same day, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced another Trump nominee, Rebecca Taibleson, despite objections from her home-state senator.US Senate confirms Trump nominee Mascott to federal appeals court | ReutersA Republican-controlled Senate committee approved two of President Donald Trump's nominees to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) but delayed action on a third, leaving the agency without the quorum needed to issue decisions. The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee voted 12-11 to advance James Murphy, a retired NLRB lawyer, to the board and Crystal Carey, a labor attorney, as general counsel. However, a planned vote on Scott Mayer, Boeing's chief labor counsel, was pulled after he clashed with Senator Josh Hawley during his confirmation hearing.The NLRB has been unable to function fully since Trump's firing of Democratic board member Gwynne Wilcox in January and the expiration of another Republican member's term. Wilcox is challenging her dismissal in court, and the Supreme Court has allowed her removal to stand pending resolution. Without at least three board members, the NLRB cannot issue rulings, stalling hundreds of cases — including many involving union elections.Trump's nominees would give Republicans control of the board for the first time since 2021. Democrats expressed concern over the independence of the nominees, noting the precedent of Wilcox's dismissal and questioning whether the new appointees could remain neutral. Both Murphy and Mayer insisted they would apply the law impartially, regardless of political pressure.Mayer faced particular scrutiny over a current strike involving Boeing workers in Missouri. Hawley criticized Boeing's executive compensation amid labor disputes, while Mayer declined to comment on the situation, citing his pending nomination. The HELP Committee also approved other Trump nominees for roles within the Department of Labor.US Senate panel approves two Trump NLRB nominees, tables a third | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Giuseppe Verdi.This week's closing theme features a composer whose name is nearly synonymous with Italian opera — Giuseppe Verdi, born on or around October 10, 1813, in the small village of Le Roncole, then part of the Napoleonic French Empire. Best known for grand operas like La Traviata, Aida, and Rigoletto, Verdi's music defined the emotional and political voice of 19th-century Italy. Though his legacy rests almost entirely on the opera stage, Verdi briefly stepped into the world of chamber music with a single, striking contribution: his String Quartet in E minor, composed in 1873.He wrote it during a production delay of Aida in Naples, saying modestly it was “just a trifle” — but the work is anything but. The first movement, Allegro vivace, opens with an energetic, tightly woven interplay among the instruments, showcasing Verdi's grasp of counterpoint and formal structure, likely influenced by his admiration for German composers like Beethoven. There's a dramatic drive that feels operatic, yet the themes unfold with the clarity and discipline of a seasoned instrumentalist.It's the only surviving chamber piece Verdi completed, and it stands as a fascinating outlier in his body of work — more intimate, abstract, and inward-looking than his vocal dramas. The movement balances lyrical passages with bursts of rhythmic vitality, hinting that even without voices, Verdi could make instruments sing. As we mark the week of his birth, this selection offers a rare glimpse into the quieter, more introspective corners of a composer usually associated with sweeping arias and rousing choruses.
