So the Local Government Conference is underway and the Government took advantage of it to talk down to councils like a stepdad telling off their stepson. They've been told to reign in wasteful spending to keep their rates increase down. It'd be good if the government that is currently spending more than any other ever practiced what they preached. But anyway, the Government is talking about bringing in rate caps. Sounds good. A simple idea we can all understand, but will it work? The fact is the idea is in place in Australia. Melbourne and Sydney have them, but individual councils can apply for exemptions. And in Melbourne it means that some councils have imposed 10% rates. But they don't have them in Brisbane, and Brisbane has the lowest rate increases in Australia. So why is that? Successive councils have kept the debt low. They've had smart long term plans with cross-party support. They have a suburbs first policy so that improvements are made where people actually live. 85% of their budget is spent on this - it's also cheaper than grand projects. And they like public transport. A record $210 million is being spent on it, which is a lot cheaper than building roads, roads, roads. Here public transport and alternative transport options are the first to be cut in hard times. And because of their resident friendly, suburban centric approach combined with fiscal prudence, they have some wriggle room. Senior citizens in Brisbane get the most generous rebates in the country, cutting their rates in half. And it means that Brisbane can pursue some big stuff like the Olympics. But there they show some balls as well, canning the re-development of the Gabba because the business case didn't measure up. Rates caps are good slogan policy. It sounds like a simple answer to a complex situation, but they didn't work in Sydney and Melbourne. In fact there they're suffering from rates catch up. If you defer projects then eventually someone is going to pay for them. Whanganui will find that out in the future. Work on the Opera House has been deferred, saving $8 million, but that work hasn't gone away and will cost more in the future. The reason we're in the hole we're in is false promises of rate cuts by previous councils that resulted in a rates catch up. Wellington's water sound familiar. We don't need rates caps, what we really need is sensible long term fiscally prudent governance. Look for that next election. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We were understood what all the fuss was about, especially because it wasn't all even ready in time. So let's relaunch this shindig as Walt arrives at the Opera House.

This week, a calm 4th of July at the resort, a new marquee is in place for the 70th anniversary, some rarely seen items are on the way to Disneyland, a chance to tour Walt's Storybook Mansion this summer, a former shop turned seating area, is back to a shop again, we talk about our experience visiting the 1901 Lounge and Club 33, and more! Please support the show if you can by going to https://www.dlweekly.net/support/. Check out all of our current partners and exclusive discounts at https://www.dlweekly.net/promos. News: Guests who were at Disneyland on the 4th of July were able to celebrate more than the birthday of the United States. Crowds were way down. This was likely due to most Magic Keys being blocked out and the price for the 1 park/1 day ticket was $200. No festive decorations were installed this year, due to the 70th, and the 4th fireworks show wasn't heavily publicized. However, that meant that guests could walk on to quite a few attractions and enjoy the park with much less of a crowd! – https://www.micechat.com/418376-disneyland-news-crowds-collapse-pixies-ghosts-robo-walt/ As July 17th nears, one of the last pieces has fallen into place. The new marquee at the Main Street Opera House was installed this past week. The new sign now features both Great Moments with Mr Lincoln, and Walt Disney – A Magical Life. The new blue sign replaces the darker red sign that was there before and it looks amazing! – https://www.micechat.com/418376-disneyland-news-crowds-collapse-pixies-ghosts-robo-walt/ Part of the new Opera House experience will be a new exhibit from the Walt Disney Archives and the Walt Disney Family Museum. Several items were painstakingly packed up and driven to the park to be installed from the museum in San Francisco. More than 30 objects were loaned to the resort, many of which have never been on display outside of the Family Museum. The exhibit opens with the new show on July 17th. – https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLqDLPOtkbv/?utm_source=ig_embed Weeklyteers who are interested in visiting Walt's 1930s estate in the Hollywood Hills will have a few opportunities this summer. Known at Walt Disney's Storybook Mansion, Walt and Lillian lived here and raised their daughters in the mansion. It is rarely open to the public, but for $75 per person, you can get a tour of the property on Saturday, July 12, July 26th, or August 2nd. There are multiple tours on each day. These are sure to sell out, so visit the link in our show notes to book your visit today! – https://disney-house-tours-july-12.eventzilla.net/e/2138656162 It seems like overnight the old Port Royal shop was converted to a seating area for guests from a gift shop. Just one more night and it is now back to a gift shop once again! The shop now features mostly Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise, but otherwise looks much like it did before it was changed to seating. – https://www.micechat.com/418376-disneyland-news-crowds-collapse-pixies-ghosts-robo-walt/ On July 7th, the new Celebrate Happy collection launched. This collection features the bright colors of the Disneyland 70th celebration. There is a Loungefly Mini Backpack, Minnie Mouse Ear Headband, and a Zip Up Hoodie. These items can be found in World of Disney, Elias & Co., and the Emporium. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/celebrate-happy-with-disneyland-70th-anniversary-merchandise/ Our 400th episode is coming up and we would love to hear from you!

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - This is episode 398 - Leaves of Music, Part TwoWell heIlo, WaltGreetings, George.Now In the previous episode, I began a conversation with Mr. Walter Whitman specifically about opera.Well Mr. - I mean Walt - What would you say was the role of music in general in your works?Music in general was a central metaphor in my life and work, both as a metaphysical mindset and as a practical reality. I was blessed with an extraordinary ear for inner rhythms which I then In articulated in radically free, rolling, thrusting verses which revitalized the entire world of poetic language. That same ear led me to to a strong appreciation of classical music. My musical journey was a largely self-taught quest in which I relied on both my innate musicality and my experience as a music journalist to formulate aesthetic principles that would carry over into my poetWell. ultimately, what would you say about the importance of exposure to differing forms of music to the United States?“George,I say no land or people or circumstances ever existed so needing a race of singers and poems differing from all others,” I wrote in “A Backward Glance o'er Travel'd Roads.” Yet, it was only by exposure to European opera and art song that I began to really discover and appreciate tI universality of classical music's language. That exposure came during the 1840′s and 1850′s when I served as a member of New York City's working press, reviewing musical performances at Casthee Garden, Palmo's Opera House, the Astor Place Theater, and the Academy of Music. After enjoying a year of press seats for the Brooklyn Eagle, I admitted that foreign music was exercising an elevating influence on American taste. From the late 1840′s onward My critical posture gradually shifted from a stance of tolerance to one of sophisticated pleasure and finally to one of total passion for classical music, especially for opera.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Actrice Henke Tuinstra speelt de roze koning en vertelt hoe het is om voor een jong publiek te spelen.

In this episode, Tony Brueski investigates Oshkosh's Grand Opera House, a historic venue said to be home to more than just the performing arts. Tales of ghostly figures in the balcony, unexplained sounds, and objects moving without cause have been part of the opera house's lore for decades. Some say the spirits are former actors or patrons who never quite left the stage behind. What makes the Grand Opera House such a hotspot for paranormal activity? Tony explores both the historical and psychological factors that may contribute to these sightings, asking whether the theater is truly haunted—or if the stories are part of the drama that has unfolded within its walls for over a century.

With special guest: Chris Hammer… in conversation with Bill Kable Sometimes the world of fiction overlaps our day to day life. In speaking with our guest today Chris Hammer we find out that Chris is interested himself in how the characters in his new book Trust will deal with the real life problem of the Covid 19 crisis. As well as Covid there is reference in the book to the 2019/2020 bushfires that swept the nation in unprecedented fury. One of the greatest charms in reading Chris Hammer’s best-selling books is that there is authenticity. For Australians that means familiarity with the settings on the coast and in rural areas for previous books. In Trust the setting is Sydney but not the postcard Sydney in the shadow of the Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This is the real Sydney populated by real people. Overseas readers are also drawn to this picture of the real Australia and Chris is delighted that his work has been translated into other languages so people in other countries can learn about us.

It's the end of the month, and that means it's time to catch up with our neighbors in Acadiana. Founder and editor of The Current, Christiaan Mader, breaks down the latest news in the region, including how U.S. deportations are raising concerns in a Laotian refugee community in the area.Following the jailbreak at the Orleans Parish Justice Center, law enforcement agencies across the state began pointing the finger at one another. Gov. Landry blamed the District Attorney's Office for delays in the inmates' cases, DA Jason Williams blamed the sheriff's office for its slow response to requests for evidence needed to prosecute cases. And Sheriff Susan Hutson pointed to jail workers and those on the outside helping the inmates. So where does the accountability actually lie here, and how common is this kind of law enforcement infighting? Mac Muir, leading expert on police accountability and the former Executive Director of the Community Police Review Agency (CPRA) in Oakland, California, joins us to share his thoughts. The Marigny Opera House is gearing up for a night of Italian music with a production of Verismo: Opera Tableaux.

Please support the show if you can by going to https://www.dlweekly.net/support/. Check out all of our current partners and exclusive discounts at https://www.dlweekly.net/promos. News: More and more keeps being announced for the 70th Anniversary of Disneyland. A new light, sound, and projection moment will be coming to Carthay Circle and Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure. The moment will be set to the tune “Celebrate Happy,” the theme song for the anniversary. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/guide-to-the-70th-anniversary-at-disneyland-resort/ We have some new details about the Walt Disney animatronic experience coming to the Opera House in July. Various media outlets were invited to the Imagineering campus to see the life-sized concept sculpt, and to learn more about the show. Walt's voice in the show will be his own, with clips of his actual voice were painstakingly assembled from interviews. The animatronic itself is very lifelike. The posture, facial structure, and skin texture are “uncanny” according to MiceChat. – https://www.micechat.com/414430-disneyland-walt-disney-a-magical-life-revealed/ Another character from the Marvel Universe will be dropping by Avengers Campus for a limited time. Red Guardian, who first appeared in Black Widow, and is featured in the new movie Thunderbolts, will be meeting and greeting with guests. You can be sure to find him by checking the Disneyland App. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/meet-the-super-amazing-red-guardian-at-avengers-campus/ If you are going to be in Avengers Campus heading into Cars Land, or the other way around in the near future, be aware that the path between the two by Luigi's is closed. This has been done for construction of a new restroom facility to compliment the new additions to Avengers Campus currently under construction. – https://www.micechat.com/414422-disneyland-news-70th-anniversary-improvements-red-guardian-appearance-store-changes/ May the 4th was this weekend and the Disney Parks Blog shared a recipe from A Galaxy Far, Far Away. The Felucian Falafel and Hummus Garden Spread from Docking Bay 7 may take some planning – with one step taking from 12-18 hours – but is sure to be a tasty treat! – https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/disney-eats-exclusive-plant-based-star-wars-day-recipe/ Later this month, a fun team will be visiting the parks. The Savannah Bananas, a baseball team similar to the Harlem Globetrotters, will be at Disneyland on May 28, 2025. Special entertainment moments, and themed food and beverages will be on hand to celebrate. – https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/savannah-bananas-disneyland-may-28/ On Monday, May 5, there was a Heroes Salute Cavalcade to honor the first responders of the fires back in January. The Heroes ticket also kicked off to coincide with the cavalcade. – https://www.micechat.com/414422-disneyland-news-70th-anniversary-improvements-red-guardian-appearance-store-changes/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHGVwxv9H1E A rather abrupt change has come to New Orleans Square. The Port Royal Curios and Curiosities shop, right next to the Royal Street Veranda, has been changed into a seating area for diners. Since the shop duplicated the merchandise which can be found at Madame Leota's “Somewhere Beyond” shop, the old location was not needed. The decor was not updated much, except to turn it into a jazzy looking speakeasy. Tables and chairs are scattered about for guests to get out of the heat and find a place to eat. – https://www.micechat.com/414422-disneyland-news-70th-anniversary-improvements-red-guardian-appearance-store-changes/ At the Emporium on Main Street, there are a set of windows that are decorated with animated scenes from Disney classics. Some of them have been in rough shape in recent times, but they are currently being refurbished for the 70th. No word on when they will be completed, but work is underway. – https://www.micechat.com/414422-disneyland-news-70th-anniversary-improvements-red-guardian-appearance-store-changes/ SnackChat: 70th Foodie Guide – Disney Eats: Disneyland 70th Celebration Foodie Guide – Disney Parks Blog Discussion Topic: Freelance artist Jerrod Maruyama https://www.instagram.com/jmaruyama/
Pella Opera House Executive Director Cyndi Atkins and Jessica Klyn de Novelo with Pella Corporation discuss the return of the Opera House Outdoors event taking place on Franklin Street on Friday, May 16th.
The Haskell Free Library and Opera House was intentionally built to straddle two nations and two communities. Three quarters of the building is in Stanstead, Quebec and one quarter is in Derby Line Vermont, and it's been the local library for both communities for over a century. The main entrance to the library is in the U.S., and for as long as anyone can remember, Canadians have been allowed to walk the 70 feet of sidewalk around the building to that front entrance.But in late January of this year, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem paid a surprise visit to the library while she was up touring some of the Vermont border crossings, and she did a little show for everyone there. And starting in October, Canadians will no longer be able to visit their local library without passing through a border crossing.This is a show about it.

A forgotten town. A derelict theater. A woman destined to bring it back to life. In 1967, Broadway dancer Marta Becket found herself stranded in Death Valley Junction, a near-ghost town on the Nevada-California border.

But does she still dance there in spirit? Join Anne & Renata as they uncover the spectral echoes of Marta Becket and the lingering ghosts of the Armagosa Opera House.

1. Why Hannah describes her later-in-life Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis as “an exfoliation of shame.” 2. How neurodiversity affects Hannah's relationships–and how she connects to the world through what's “interesting” instead of what's “important.” 3. Hannah's revolutionary commitment to stop using self-deprecating humor about her body, sexuality, and gender–and why we might all consider the same commitment. 4. Why it's easier for Hannah to share her personal stories “in bulk” on stage instead of one-on-one. 5. What it takes for Hannah to prepare for conversations–like ours on We Can Do Hard Things. About Hannah: Tasmania's own Hannah Gadsby stopped stand-up comedy in its tracks with her multi-award-winning show, Nanette. When it premiered on Netflix in 2018, it left audiences captivated by her blistering honesty and her singular ability to take them from rolling laughter to devastated silence. Its release and subsequent Emmy and Peabody wins took Nanette (and Hannah) to the world. Hannah's difficult second album (which was also her eleventh solo show) was named Douglas after her dog. Hannah walked Douglas around the world, selling out the Royal Festival Hall in London, the Opera House in Sydney and the Kennedy Center in DC, a sit-down run in New York and shows across the US, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Douglas covered Hannah's autism diagnosis, moving beyond the trauma at the centre of Nanette and instead letting the world see the view from Hannah's brain – one that sees the world differently but with breathtaking clarity. The show was an Emmy-nominated smash hit and is available throughout the world on Netflix, recorded in Los Angeles. Hannah Gadsby's “overnight” success was more than ten years in the making, with her award-winning stand-up shows having been a fixture in festivals across Australia and the UK since 2009. She played a character called “Hannah” on the TV series Please Like Me and has hosted multiple art documentaries, inspired by her comedy art lectures. In 2022, Hannah's first book Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation was published by Ballantine, an imprint of Penguin Random House, in the United States, Atlantic in the UK, and Allen & Unwin in Australia. Hannah has done plenty of other things over the course of more than a decade in comedy, but that will do for now.
