Podcasts about Semele

561 – Händel, politiek dier en geniaal musicus Zijn werken zijn al 300 jaar door en door politiek. De opera’s van Georg Friedrich Händel vertellen hoe heersers hun tijd en wereld domineren en hoe zij wijs, mild en rechtvaardig kunnen regeren. Maar ook hoe wreed, normloos en gewetenloos zij vaak zijn. Hoe ze mensen vertrappen, bedriegen en in het verderf storten. Dezer weken is Amsterdam Händel hoofdstad van Europa. Vooral ook door spectaculair optreden van een jonge wereldster die met Julius Caesar zo’n sluwe, wrede en machtige heerser vertolkt. Met deze Poolse countertenor, Jakub Józef Orliński, duiken Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger in de vele lagen van de meeslepende muziek van Händel (1685 - 1759). In diens tijdloze actualiteit en virtuoze diepte van zijn mensenkennis. Zijn 'Giulio Cesare in Egitto' blijkt een soort kabinetsformatie van twee machtsdieren uit de Oudheid: Cleopatra en Caesar. Een van die cynische, nobele en wrede verhalen over hoe macht, intriges en gerechtigheid met elkaar strijden om de voorrang in het geopolitiek geweld. Net als nu. Hier. Vandaag. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show!

Als jong musicus uit Halle in Saksen-Anhalt werd hij al bejubeld in Rome en Venetië. Hij reisde langs alle hoven en concertzalen en belandde in Londen, waar hij de beroemdste componist, organist én kunstpaus werd, ook die voor het koningshuis. Het koninklijk publiek verwachtte dan ook opera's met politieke boodschappen en portretten uit verhalen uit alle eeuwen en windstreken. En Händel leverde. Van stukken uit het oude Rome, Perzië, Mongolië en tot muziektheater dat speelt in de diepste middeleeuwen, aan de Olympus en vertelt uit ridderromans tijdens de Kruistochten. Jakub Józef Orliński levert niet minder. Hij vertelt over zijn visie op 'Cesare' als veroveraar en uitbuiter van het onmetelijk rijke Egypte. En als politiek, militair en amoureus veroveraar van Cleopatra. Die blijkt minstens zo'n politiek dier als hijzelf en heeft haar heel eigen agenda. In Händels beroemdste aria's en duetten ontdekken die twee in het Concertgebouw elkaars ambities, charmes, belangen en 'Wille zur Macht'. Ze sluiten een deal, alsof ze onderhandelen in Davos of Mar-a-Lago. Hij maakt haar Farao, in plaats van haar gemene broer. Zij baart hem de opvolger die hem ontbrak. Orlínski zong in januari bij de Nationale Opera nog een heel andere rol, die van de naïeve prins Athamas. Bij zijn feestelijke royal wedding slaan de wrede goden toe. Of zijn dat de spookbeelden van zijn bruid Semele? Is haar dromen van oppergod Jupiter als haar ware echtgenoot niet ook weer zo'n politiek fata morgana? Zo'n droom van tomeloze macht om te ontsnappen aan dit huwelijk? Desnoods een waaraan zijzelf en de brave Athamas ten onder gaan? Bij Händel draait het steeds weer om macht, wellust, sluwheid en de hoop op oprechte menselijkheid. Zijn opera's worden bevolkt door Poetins, Von der Leyens, Ruttes, Jettens en Wilders uit alle eeuwen. Orlínski droomt van sommige van die rollen voor zijn komende carrière, vertelt hij. Het gesprek met de Poolse barokster gaat over zijn avonturen op het wereldtoneel. De opening van de Olympiade in Parijs van 2024 bijvoorbeeld. Hoe was het om als verrassende breakdancer annex zanger twee miljard kijkers te veroveren, alsof hijzelf een Caesar van de muziek was? Wat maakt dat hij zo dol is op Amsterdam, maar niettemin één dagelijkse ergernis heeft? Orlínski blijkt een zanger die zijn vak buitengewoon professioneel uitdiept. "Ik heb wel zeven lange termijnprojecten voor mezelf en gezelschappen en operahuizen die ik zorgvuldig probeer uit te bouwen." Zo ontstond ook de tournee en straks in Warschau de opname van 'Giulio Cesare', een gedurfde stap. Maar hij noemt zich ook ‘een soort archeoloog’. Met zijn researcher speurt hij in archieven naar verloren gewaande muziek, opera's waarvan we alleen nog de naam kennen. Eén ontdekking van een vergeten stuk is zo'n toekomstproject dat hij hoopt te lanceren als nieuwe opera op het wereldrepertoire. Händels work is deeply political, already 300 years. Händels operas show how rulers dominate their age and world, how to be masters of wisdom, mildness and justice. But no less how cruel and merciless they can be, how they do not shrink to destroy people, fool and ruin them. These weeks Amsterdam is 'the George Frederic Handel capital of Europe'. Most of all thanks to the spectacular musical debut of a young global Baroque-star who will sing such a cunning, cruel and powerful ruler. Julius Caesar, no less. With worldwide recognized Polish countertenor, Jakub Józef Orliński, the hosts of the podcast 'Trusted Sources' look for the many layers of the fabulous music of Händel (1685 - 1759). His "Giulio Cesare in Eigtto' is an opera as a diplomatic summit of two political animals of the Ancient World, Cleopatra and Ceasar. A cynical, noble and cruel tale where power, intrigue and justice are combating for primacy in the geopolitical reality of the day. Like with us, now, here, in the present. Orlínski tells about his take on 'Cesare', the victor and exploiter of immensely rich Egypt. And the political, military and amorous conqueror of its Queen. Cleopatra proofs to be no less a political pro, having a cunning agenda of her own. In aria's and duets these two discover each others ambitions, interests, charms and ruthlessness. As if in Mar-a-Lago or in Davos they strike a deal in Amsterdams Concertgebouw. He makes her Pharao instead of her cruel brother, she bears him the dynastic successor he lacks. In the National Opera Jakub Józef Orliński also sings the naïve prince Athamas, whose exuberant 'Royal Wedding' is ruined by merciless 'divine intervention' of Jove, king of the Gods of Olympus. Is this real or a nightmare of his bride Semele? Is her dream of a God as Lover a way to escape, even as this destroys herself and Athamas' hope of love? Händels operas again and again adress the dilemmas of power, cruelty, lust, mercy and hope for humanity. They are filled with Putins, Melania's, Berlusconi's, Ursula von der Leyens, with you and me. Talking with Orlínski is sharing wonderful stories of his adventures on a world stage. His live role at the Olympics in Paris, watched by an audience of billions around the world. But getting soaking wet there while breakdancing through a French Renaissance aria. His bike in Amsterdam. His ambitions as "almost an archeologist of music", going through archives to dig up unknown diamonds of Baroque music, forgotten over 300 years. The young Pole is a deeply dedicated artist and we can only wish him to entrance audiences for many years with his focus on discoveries and a fresh approach to timeless art. *** Verder kijken Jakub Józef Orliński & Ensemble Fantasticus - Händel - Semele: Your Tuneful Voice | Podium Klassiek Jakub Józef Orliński - He Was Despised (Händel's Messiah) Jakub Józef Orlínski - Händel - Ombra mai fu Jakub Józef Orliński – Händel: "Pena tiranna" (Amadigi di Gaula) Jakub Józef Orlínski - Viens, Hymen - opening Olympische Spelen Parijs 2024 *** Verder luisteren 387 - Niets is zó politiek als opera - 100 jaar Maria Callas207 - Zomer 2021: Boekentips met Händel in London, the making of a genius43 - Kleine Mozart aan het Binnenhof in 1765346 - Beethoven: Alle Menschen werden Brüder!498 - Gustav Mahler en zijn tweede stad Amsterdam531 - Muziek en tirannie: de schrijnende actualiteit van Dmitri Sjostakovitsj 305 - Andrea Wulf, Hoe rebelse genieën eeuwen later nog ons denken, cultuur en politiek beïnvloeden488 - Het Congres van Wenen (1814-1815) als muzikaal feest én briljant machtsspel373 - Nederland en België: de scheiding die niemand wilde Hoe een opera België van Nederland afscheurde 200 - De Heerser: Machiavelli's lessen zijn nog altijd actueel*** Tijdlijn 00:00:00 – Deel 1: Georg Friedrich Händel 00:36:26 – Deel 2: Gesprek met Jakub Józef Orliński 01:07:05 – Deel 3: Gesprek met Jakub Józef Orliński 01:25:50 – Einde See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cristoforo Gorno"Dioniso"Il dio dei misteriGiunti Editorewww.giunti.itQuando pensiamo a Dioniso, le prime cose che immaginiamo sono il vino, la dissolutezza, i rituali bacchici dove i partecipanti perdono la ragione per guadagnare l'estasi dei sensi. Ma il dio che conosciamo anche come Bacco è molto più di questo, ed è pronto a raccontare la sua storia. Figlio dell'amore clandestino tra Zeus e la giovane principessa tebana Semele, che muore nel metterlo al mondo, Dioniso viene respinto dalla famiglia della madre e perseguitato dalla gelosia di Era. In seguito, prende sempre più le distanze dalle altre divinità, rifiutandosi di andare a vivere sull'Olimpo e viaggiando tra i mortali, guidato dalla curiosità e dalla sua volontà di sedurre il mondo. Durante i suoi vagabondaggi conosce la bellezza dell'amore e il dolore della perdita, coltiva l'amicizia con gli uomini, gli animali e la natura selvaggia, diffonde il dono del vino e raccoglie intorno a sé un seguito di devoti, le Baccanti e i Satiri. Tuttavia, in molti dubitano di lui e del fatto che sia davvero un dio. La resa dei conti si avvicina sempre di più: Dioniso rischia di perdere tutto ciò che ha costruito… Cristoforo Gorno, autore e divulgatore storico, dà voce al dio dei misteri in un romanzo appassionante tutto da scoprire: la verità, come insegna Dioniso, si nasconde nelle pieghe della follia, di cui solo lui conosce i segreti.Cristoforo Gorno, laureato in Lettere classiche, con una specializzazione in Mitologia greca, è autore e conduttore televisivo. Ha curato molte trasmissioni, tra cui “Kilimangiaro” e “Passato e presente” (Rai 3), “Atlantide”, “Impero” e “Sfera” (La7).

By request, we are looking at the Virgin Mary in this week's podcast, in particular the "dark Feminine" elements of her mythology. An exploration into Mary (or Maryam), mother of Jesus reveals various layers of her myth and the doctrines surrounding her. This includes the myth of the dying and resurrecting vegetation god, some striking parallels with Semele, mother of Dionysus, the heroic myth of the Virgin Birth and the Divine Child, and the social implications of her role in the Bible and other texts from the early Church to the medieval period. 

It might at first sound like it would be nice to be the lover of the king of the Olympian gods, attended by divine spirits, and living in a luxurious palace among the clouds.  But this happily-ever-after turns sour after Princess Semele asks Jupiter for the gift of immortality.  After a bit of intrigue amongst the gods–not least among them Jupiter's resourceful and ruthless wife Juno–disaster strikes the princess Semele and her dreams are reduced to ashes. An “English opera” from the later career of Baroque master, George Frideric Handel, Semele teems with engaging arias as well as sumptuous choral pieces. Inspired by a tale told by Ovid, Handel and his librettist, William Congreve crafted a work of art that beguiles and entertains supremely. Hosted by Pat and Kathleen For more cultural and arts commentary by Kathleen Van De Wille, visit Constructive Criticism on Substack.

In this episode, assistant director Emma Grimsley shares five essential things to know about Handel's Semele before you head to the theater. From Handel's legendary music and the mythological roots of the story, to the surprising history of oratorios and the da capo arias that dazzle in performance, you'll get a quick, engaging look at what makes this baroque masterpiece so unforgettable. Whether you're new to opera or a seasoned fan, this behind-the-scenes glimpse will enrich your experience of Semele—a tale of passion, power, and divine drama.

Dcn. Harrison Garlick and Adam Minihan are joined by Evan Amato of Rewire the West to discuss Book Five of Odyssey: Odysseus escapes Calypso's Island.Check out thegreatbookspodcast.com for a written guide to the Odyssey. A couple questions from the guide: 28. What happens in book five?King Odysseus is trapped on Calypso's island. Zeus, at Athena's pleading, agrees to two proposals: first, Odysseus may leave the captivity of Calypso; and second, Athena may help Telemachus escape the trap set by the suitors (5.24). Hermes, the messenger god, goes and tells Calypso that it is Zeus' will that Odysseus be set free upon a make-shift raft, and Calypso, though upset, acquiesces to the will of Zeus (5.125, 176).[1] She tells Odysseus he may leave, and he has her promise she is not plotting some new harm against him (5.202). After four days of working on the raft, Odysseus sets sail on the fifth with gifts and provisions from Calypso (5.288).Poseidon, who is returning from Ethiopia, sees Odysseus has left the island and, “it made his fury boil even more” (5.313). Poseidon sends a storm to sink Odysseus (5.321). As he's being battered by the waves, a goddess of the sea, Ino, pities Odysseus, and tells him to strip off his clothes, tie her scarf around his waist, and swim for land (5.377). Poseidon smashes the raft to pieces (5.403), and Odysseus, with the help of Athena, makes it to the shore (5.471). The book ends with Odysseus falling asleep beneath two olive trees (5.544).[2] 29. Why does Odysseus refuse Calypso's offer of immortality?Calypso tells Hermes that she has offered immortality to Odysseus (5.151), and again makes the offer after Odysseus knows he's free to leave the island (5.230). How can Odysseus refuse immortality? How can a mortal man refuse an immortal life with a beautiful goddess? A subtle clue is found in the opening of book five. It does not repeat the typical line of Dawn and her rosy fingers but instead invokes Dawn's lover, Tithonus (5.01).[3] It is said that Dawn (Eos) asked Zeus to make her mortal lover, Tithonus, immortal, and Zeus agreed—but Zeus did not grant Tithonus immortal youth. Thus, Tithonus, immortal, continued to age until he “became an old shriveled creature little more than a voice.”[4] Tithonus attempts to graft onto human nature something that is unnatural to it: immortality. As Dr. Patrick Deneen observes: “Tithonus accepts what is unacceptable for mortals to attain, but which is nevertheless clearly tempting to normal mortal desires.”[5]One aspect of the unnaturalness of immortality in man is the necessity for the possibility of death to achieve glory (kleos). It is in facing death that man achieves renown. Without death, what is man? Furthermore, observe how those who are without death, the immortal gods, are presented: imploded personalities, obsessive, petty, and narcissistic. The sinews between man, death, and glory are one to observe, as the story of Odysseus continues to develop.Similarly to Tithonus, we should observe Homer references the goddess Ino who was “a mortal woman once” (5.367). Ino, the sister of Semele, was driven mad by Hera, and she jumped into the sea with her son in her arms. She...

fWotD Episode 2645: Homeric Hymns Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 1 August 2024 is Homeric Hymns.The Homeric Hymns (Ancient Greek: Ὁμηρικοὶ ὕμνοι, romanized: Homērikoì húmnoi) are a collection of thirty-three ancient Greek hymns and one epigram. The hymns praise deities of the Greek pantheon and retell mythological stories, often involving a deity's birth, their acceptance among the gods on Mount Olympus, or the establishment of their cult. In antiquity, the hymns were generally, though not universally, attributed to the poet Homer: modern scholarship has established that most date to the seventh and sixth centuries BCE, though some are more recent and the latest, the Hymn to Ares, may have been composed as late as the fifth century CE.The Homeric Hymns share compositional similarities with the Iliad and the Odyssey, also traditionally attributed to Homer. They share the same artificial literary dialect of Greek, are composed in dactylic hexameter, and make use of short, repeated phrases known as formulae. It is unclear how far writing, as opposed to oral composition, was involved in their creation. They may initially have served as preludes to the recitation of longer poems, and have been performed, at least originally, by singers accompanying themselves on a lyre or other stringed instrument. Performances of the hymns may have taken place at sympotic banquets, religious festivals and royal courts.There are references to the Homeric Hymns in Greek poetry from around 600 BCE; they appear to have been used as educational texts by the early fifth century BCE, and to have been collected into a single corpus after the third century CE. Their influence on Greek literature and art was relatively small until the third century BCE, when they were used extensively by Alexandrian poets including Callimachus, Theocritus and Apollonius of Rhodes. They were also an influence on Roman poets, such as Lucretius, Catullus, Virgil, Horace and Ovid. In late antiquity (c. 200 – c. 600 CE), they influenced both pagan and Christian literature, and their collection as a corpus probably dates to this period. They were comparatively neglected during the succeeding Byzantine period (that is, until 1453), but continued to be copied in manuscripts of Homeric poetry; all the surviving manuscripts of the hymns date to the fifteenth century. They were also read and emulated widely in fifteenth-century Italy, and indirectly influenced Sandro Botticelli's painting The Birth of Venus.The Homeric Hymns were first published in print by Demetrios Chalkokondyles in 1488–1489. George Chapman made the first English translation of them in 1624. Part of their text was incorporated, via a 1710 translation by William Congreve, into George Frideric Handel's 1744 musical drama Semele. The rediscovery of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter in 1777 led to a resurgence of European interest in the hymns. In the arts, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe used the Hymn to Demeter as an inspiration for his 1778 melodrama Proserpina. Their textual criticism progressed considerably over the nineteenth century, particularly in German scholarship, though the text continued to present substantial difficulties into the twentieth. The Homeric Hymns were also influential on the English Romantic poets of the early nineteenth century, particularly Leigh Hunt, Thomas Love Peacock and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Later poets to adapt the hymns included Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and Constantine P. Cavafy. Their influence has also been traced in the works of James Joyce, the films of Alfred Hitchcock, and the novel Coraline by Neil Gaiman.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:47 UTC on Thursday, 1 August 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Homeric Hymns on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Arthur.

Hör tre favoriter i repris i det här specialminisnittet!Det grekiska dramat var en av antikens stora konstformer, med tävlingar för manusförfattare och skådespelare lika viktiga som dagens Oscarsgala för filmbranschen. Dramat växte fram ur det religiösa firandet till guden Dionysos ära, och blev snabbt populärt. Det var tragedier med svåra familjekonflikter, gripande monologer och hemska specialeffekter. Men också komedier med löspenisar, politisk satir, sång och dans.Backanterna brukar anses vara ett av den atenska tragikern Euripides allra främsta verk, tillika ett av de främsta tragiska verken någonsin. Det berättar historien om kung Pentheus av Thebe, vars familj bestraffas av Dionysos. Orsaken? De har förtalat Dionysos dödliga mor, Semele, och vägrat erkänna honom som son till Zeus. Efter att ha färdats över hela världen befinner sig nu Dionysos i Thebe för att utkräva sin hämnd, genom att inrätta en extatisk mysteriekult i staden.Aischylos pjäs De sju mot Thebe är ett prisbelönt drama från antikens Grekland som innehåller lite av varje; familjefejd, intriger och ett blodigt slut. Men framför allt en varning om att man inte kan fly från sitt öde. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dr. Muna Yako, leading the Human Rights Commission in the KRG, disclosed to SBS that her aspiration to erect the monument of Simele dates back many years. Despite her efforts, she noted a lack of support from Assyrian organisations in reaching an agreement to commence the project. However, Dr. Yako affirmed that the Governor of Duhok has essentially agreed to support and finance the endeavour. This is part one of the report from Naseem Sadiq. Part two will follow soon.

One of the UK's most popular vocalists and broadcasters, Aled Jones MBE, today announces the release of his brand-new album which not only celebrates 40 years in show business but reveals some previously unreleased tracks, recently unearthed by Aled himself. Whilst visiting his family home in Anglesey earlier this year, Aled began reminiscing over the 40 years of memorabilia his parents have collected throughout his career. They literally had everything, even a collection of multi-coloured shirts and bow ties. Aled's mother explained they had been handmade for him by a BBC employee for a series he made in 1983, at the age of 13. This prompted Aled to go and find the original programme. He began to go through the footage and discovered recordings, which have never been released or even heard since the original broadcast 40 years ago. The album includes brand new arrangements of those classics including Ave Maria and Bright Eyes.Aptly titled, ‘One Voice – Full Circle', the new record is the fourth (and probably final, says Aled!) instalment in his utterly unique ‘One Voice' series in which, through the magic of technology, Aled is able to duet with his younger self: man and boy, baritone and treble. Here, album highlights include ‘Sailing', The Sutherland Brothers' 1972 track best known as a hit for Rod Stewart, Handel's ‘Where'er you Walk', from the musical drama Semele, Welsh love song ‘Bugeilo'r Gwenith Gwyn' and traditional ballad ‘Scarborough Fair'. Aled even tracked down the original 80's guitarist, Dylan Fowler, to re-record his part for this new recording. TRACKLIST:1. Bright Eyes 2. Sea Fever 3. Scarborough Fair 4. Where ‘ere You Walk 5.

I det här minisnittet från våren 2022 tar vi oss an tragikern Euripides verk, Backanterna. Förutom att pjäsen anses vara Euripides främsta, så anses det även vara ett av de främsta tragiska verken någonsin. Backanterna berättar historien om kung Pentheus av Thebe, vars familj bestraffas av Dionysos. Orsaken? De har förtalat Dionysos dödliga mor, Semele, och vägrat erkänna honom som son till Zeus. Efter att ha färdats över hela världen befinner sig nu Dionysos i Thebe för att utkräva sin hämnd, genom att inrätta en extatisk mysteriekult i staden. Hosted on Acast.

Georg Friedrich Händels späte Oratorien sind eigentlich allesamt verkappte Bühnenwerke. Für kaum ein Werk gilt das mehr als für „Semele“, das Händel 1743 als veritablen Ehekrimi gestaltet. Im Rahmen der Münchner Opernfestspiele hat Regisseur Claus Guth mit bildmächtigen Räumen das Stück neu inszeniert.

Vor gut 20 Jahren begeisterte der damalige Intendant Peter Jonas die Opernfans für Barockmusik. Jetzt will sein Nach-Nachfolger Serge Dorny daran anknüpfen: Bei den Opernfestspielen feierte am 15. Juli Händels "Semele" im Prinzregententheater Premiere.

Bei den Opernfestspielen in München steht noch eine große Premiere an: Am 15. Juli kommt im Prinzregententheater "Semele" von Georg Friedrich Händel auf die Bühne. Regisseur Claus Guth zeigt Semele als emanzipierte junge Frau, die ihre Zukunft selbst in die Hand nehmen will. Bei der Inszenierung setzt Guth auf scharfe Kontraste in schwarz-weiß - und auf Breakdance.

In the latest couple episodes of Lore Olympus we get to see everybody set lots of healthy boundaries.

After that, Kathryn watched episodes 3 and 4 of Umbrella Academy season 3, so we've got to discuss Luther making mixtapes, Diego being a terrible Dad, Five and Lyla making a discovery, Klaus being Klaus, and Viktor being responsible for ANOTHER APOCALYPSE.

Finally we take a darker turn with a heads up about the latest episode of Swindled; we love that podcast but if intensely graphic depictions of Death By Killer Whale are not your speed, maybe skip that one. (And if you'd rather not even hear us making some vague mentions of death and dismemberment, you can skip from 21:40 to 23:05). But we finish up with a lighter look at some more MidJourney fan art. This week's outro is a clip from deepgaze (Game Size) by Akira Sora. In related news Elizabeth got kinda close with the name of the actress who plays Molly Hooper, it's Louise Brealey.

Synopsis Many music lovers will confess they prefer to hear symphonies or operas in the comfort of their own home rather than live in person at a concert hall or theater. On today's date in 1911, the famous French novelist, hypochondriac, and notorious homebody Marcel Proust wrote to his friend, the composer Reynaldo Hahn, that he had just listened to a live afternoon performance of the whole first act of Wagner's opera Die Meistersinger tucked up in bed and planned to hear Debussy's still-new opera Pelléas and Mélisande later that same evening, once again snugly secure in his Parisian apartment. Now, these days with radio, TV, and multiple live-streaming devices, this would be no big deal – but in 1911 how could that be possible? Well, for 60 francs a month -- a small fortune in 1911 -- wealthy Parisians could hear live performances of operas and plays relayed by a special phone line to a home receiver called the “théâtrophone.” First demonstrated in Paris in 1881, by 1890, the “théâtrophone was commercialized and the service continued 1932. Of course, even an enthusiastic subscriber like Proust had to admit the phone line sound quality was “très mal” (“really bad” in plain English) and hardly the same as being there in person.

Angela and I explore the myth of Semele, Mother of Dionysus, and also called "The Mother of Frenzy." Semele was the youngest daughter of Cadmus, an ambitious king with connections to Aphrodite, Aries and more. Semele dared to fall in love with Zeus, and was shamed for it by her sisters. Ultimately, she was duped into requiring Zeus to reveal his true divinity, thereby rendering her to dust. However, Dionysus, being the good son, ensured that she was transformed into a goddess. At times called, "Thyone," meaning something like "Mother of Frenzy," we delve into the different types of frenzy, from panic to spiritual ecstasy. Semele's key themes: desire, shame, love, death, rebirth, frenzy, and ecstasy. Known as The Mother of Dionysus, Semele was venerated as an expression of The Great Mother in areas of the ancient Mediterranean where the cult of Dionysus was prevalent. In ancient Athens, she was honored during a minor festival. Generally, her origins are thought to be in Thebes. She is an expression of The Death Mother that is particularly potent, as she began as a mortal woman and then became a Goddess. keepingherkeys.com

Cadmo, il mitico fondatore della città di Tebe, non solo costruisce da zero una città, dà origine ad un luogo che pare essere il fulcro del mito: i più grandi eroi vi soggiornano o vi combattono, qui ha i natali Edipo dai piedi gonfi, il triste eroe di cui ti ho narrato tanto tempo fa, qui nasce Semele, che diviene la madre di Dioniso, il dio dell'ebbrezza e della pazzia, qui nasce Penteo, cugino e nemico giurato di Dioniso e ancora qui viene al mondo il cacciatore Atteone, destinato ad essere mutato in cervo per volere di Artemide…Ma prima di essere questa città capitale, Tebe era nulla, nient'altro che una vasta landa desolata e inospitale.In questo primo episodio e nei prossimi cercherò di tratteggiare per te questo affresco complesso e affascinante che temporaneamente culmina col matrimonio tra Cadmo, figlio di Agenore con Armonia, figlia di Ares e Afrodite.
