Verona all'inizio del Novecento è una città elegante, attraversata da carrozze e da convenzioni. Nei salotti si parla di teatro e di balli, mentre altrove — nei vicoli più oscuri — si consumano tragedie che nessuno vuole vedere. Isolina Canuti è una giovane donna. Una qualunque, direbbero. Eppure la sua scomparsa, e il modo in cui il suo nome riaffiora, ha qualcosa di inquietante. Si bisbiglia di un ufficiale degli Alpini, di un amore segreto, di un figlio non voluto. Si parla a mezza voce di un aborto improvvisato, di una notte con troppi testimoni, di silenzi comprati a peso d'oro. Poi, mesi dopo, dall'Adige riemerge qualcosa: un teschio. Non ci sono certezze. Non c'è giustizia.Solo voci discordanti, racconti che non combaciano, documenti sbiaditi come carta lasciata sotto la pioggia. Il caso scivola tra gli scaffali degli archivi, inghiottito da un'epoca che trovava più semplice incolpare una donna che cercare la verità.Ma certe storie restano. Come impronte nel fango.

An Australian soprano who has established herself as one the leading artists of her generation, Nicole Car is a fixture at all of the world's top opera houses, be it the Met, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Opéra National de Paris, or the Sydney Opera House. She's praised for her beautiful, rich timbre and unique musicality, with Limelight magazine speaking recently of her unfailingly clear and strong voice, with lovely tone and silky legato. In this wide-ranging interview, Nicole reflects on her role debut as Rusalka in Dvořák's opera of the same name, exploring the character's emotional depth. She recounts her early musical influences – from her initial interest in becoming a jazz singer to a transformative experience watching Tosca – and her unusual path into classical music. The conversation traces the steep learning curve she threw herself into, her career-defining competition wins, and her thoughtful approach to role choices, including knowing when to say no. She speaks candidly about the challenges and rewards of balancing private life with a demanding international opera career, offering touching insights into life in Paris, and performing alongside her husband Étienne Dupuis.Nicole Car performs Dvořák's Rusalka with Opera Australia at the Sydney Opera House until August 11. 

Sie veränderte mit ihrer Stimme die Oper: Maria Callas. Als die 'Primadonna Assoluta' am 5. Juli 1965 in London nach ihrer letzten 'Tosca'-Aufführung die Opernbühne für immer verlässt, endet eine Ära. Doch ihr Mythos beginnt erst richtig zu strahlen. Hauspurg, Robert www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kalenderblatt

Today is the day that the United States formerly celebrated its independence. But the events of recent months have not made me feel much like celebrating. As I racked my brain to think of an “American” (read: US-American) of whom we could be truly proud, my mind flew to Carol Neblett, one of the great (if relatively unsung) voices of the 1970s and beyond. Carol died prematurely and unexpectedly in November 2017, and from the earliest days of the podcast, it has been my intention to bring increased attention to her incandescent voice and artistry. For a while, her son Stefan Schermerhorn and I have been planning to do such a tribute, but as with so many such plans, life got in the way. With the looming national holiday, however, I felt the urgent need to do a Carol Neblett episode. So I contacted Stefan earlier this week to ask him if he had any reminiscences to share with us as I was preparing this urgently-needed episode. He returned with an absolutely charming Fourth of July anecdote which begins the tribute. There follows a plethora of live recordings of near-definitive performances of an enormous range of roles that were core to Carol's repertoire: Violetta, Ariadne, Thaïs, Marietta, Manon, Musetta, Louise, Tosca, Magda in La Rondine, Margherita in Mefistofele, Leonora in Il Trovatore, and Elettra in Idomeneo. Also well-represented is no doubt her most celebrated portrayal: Minnie in La Fanciulla del West. Being a tall and statuesque California-born blonde made Carol a physically ideal Minnie, but even moreso, it was THAT VOICE which allowed her to negotiate all of the part's considerable vocal difficulties and made her legendary in the part. This is the first of a planned series of Neblett episodes that I hope will bring you as much delight in listening as it did me in preparing it. And in this undeniably grim period of our nation's history, we desperately need Carol Neblett as a shining example of the brilliance of which the United States is still capable.

It's Pride Month, and what better time to focus on queer musical culture in all its various manifestations! As far back as I can remember, I have been an Opera Queen, and today I kick off our queer celebrations with the a tribute to one of our favorite divas, the late Grace Bumbry. The chutzpah that she demonstrated throughout her career found particularly thrilling manifestation when she began transitioning to soprano roles in the early 1970s. Always an intrepid singer, Bumbry had a confidence, a fearlessness that swept all before it. Sometimes her reach exceeded her grasp, but even so, the results were always breathtaking, more often than not in a good way. I am not going to make the tired claim that Bumbry should have remained a mezzo and that when she started singing soprano, she destroyed her instrument. This tired trope is belied by the evidence at hand, including an active singing career that lasted more than 60 years. A while back I did a version of this episode featuring her studio recordings of the soprano repertoire, but there's a wild, abandoned quality to her soprano singing that is especially compelling in live recordings. So today I have sought out live performances captured on recordings between 1971 and 2007 (at a seventieth birthday concert) which reveal La Bumbarina at her most thrilling, including excerpts from Tosca, La Gioconda, Il Trovatore, Nabucco, Porgy and Bess, Ernani, L'Africaine, Aida, Salome, and Anna Bolena with such co-stars as Franco Corelli, Norman Bailey, Louis Quilico, and her beloved frenemy Shirley Verrett. If you love Grace, you don't want to miss this episode. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song.

El capítulo de hoy viene sin título. Lo llamamos inicialmente POSCA, peeeeero tras que Isabel nos ilustre brevemente con los arrangements para su mente. En serio, 15 minutos de nada, lo acabamos llamando POSCA TOSCA. Isabel nos habla hoy de Gloria Jean Watkins, mas conocida por bell hooks y de su libro 'SALVACIÓN. Las personas negras y el amor'. En el libro, bell hooks analiza cómo la experiencia del amor en las personas negras ha sido influenciada por factores sociales más amplios, como el racismo y la deshumanización que han sufrido por parte de otras razas, e Isabel nos lo cuenta, ya sabes, a su manera. Lucia nos trae a Leigh Bowery, quizás el performer y artista más influyente de los últimos años, y que más impacto ha tenido en la comunidad LGTBIQ+ en el siglo XXI, aunque mucha gente no lo conozca por su nombre. Historias fuera del mainstream que nos ayudan a entender quienes somos. ___________________________________    Este programa y todo lo demás es posible gracias a personas como tú.  Accede a contenido extra en nuestro Patreon: patreon.com/deformesemanal Y para más risas, ven a vernos a los teatros: linktr.ee/deformesemanalidealtotal Gracias.

Because there is no such thing as too much Eleanor Steber, today's episode once again features the prodigiously gifted singer, in my opinion the greatest soprano the United States has ever produced, singing a dizzying range of material, most of it recorded live between the years 1958 and 1979. These recordings were nearly all private releases on Steber's own record labels.. First, ST/AND Records, which she formed with her second husband Gordon Andrews, and which between 1960 and 1962 produced approximately fifteen LPs, all but one of them featuring Steber. Second, recordings released under the aegis of the Eleanor Steber Music Foundation, which she formed in 1973 and which released a few choice live recordings of Steber's late career recitals. The material ranges from selections from the Christian Science Hymnal, piously presented; sentimental ballads, tackily arranged; Bach and Mozart arias; art songs by Rorem, Barber, Britten, Debussy, Berg, and Beethoven; and opera arias from I Puritani, Der Freischütz, Giulio Cesare, and Tosca, the last performed at her campy Live at the Continental Baths concert in October 1973. Though as Steber grew older, her voice occasionally sounded blowsy, on the vast majority of these recordings she sounds stunningly good. And no matter what repertoire she was singing, her impeccable technique and pristine musicianship remained intact throughout. Much of source material from which these performances stem is exceedingly rare, and for the most part difficult and costly to obtain. So in my role as supreme Steber groupie, I am honored and thrilled to share these recordings, all of them from my own personal collection.

Ist Kunst politisch? Historisch betrachtet: klares Ja. Opernklassiker wie Puccinis "Tosca" oder Beethovens "Fidelio" haben gesellschaftliche Umwälzungen sogar als zentrales Thema. In unserer heutigen Folge sprechen Laury und Uli darüber, wie Revolutionen die Musik beeinflusst und Komponisten inspiriert haben. Außerdem werfen wir einen Blick darauf, wie innerhalb der Musik selbst "Revolutionen" stattgefunden haben - am Beispiel von Beethovens Symphonien.

New Sode':  Bonsoir from me and my AI Agent in my suite in Gstaad. My agent serves a dual position. 1 securing me as an Extra on this season's white Lotus as the kind hooker and 2 meme coin trades on my behalf so that I have extra spending money to fix stepson's embarrassing backhand. A true crypto use case.As I sip my Cote Du Rhone, listening to Tosca kill herself while watching my ETH stagnate, I am hesitant to call Vitalik and ask him to kindly make ETH seem a little more gangster, like a character that should appear on #The Wire, but then I thought against it, as his mother and I are still in a fight but I am much younger.  I reflect the fact that conference season is upon us. I have many grievances with Ethereum Foundation Denver and thus I will not be attending and instead will be getting high on Liquid Staking Derivatives in a melange of the ever expanding Solana ecosystem in the confines of my own imagination. My grievances with the EF U are too long that my quill pen will run out before I can front run my trades and My Bulimic MEV bot will no longer be rendered silent. Ipso facto let's start with Denver for the time being;  My grievances include but are not limited toNo get lip injectionsNo Museums that carry any Impressionists/Surrealists art  its policy that I cannot bring my Bedazzled Ak47 into any Panel for my own safety. I digress;My guest today is Hadley Stern a prominent Figure, formerly of the morally corrupt Traditional Finance ecosystem who marinated himself into Marinade. What is Marinade? Well, it's a marketplace much like a Bazaar in Turkey where you can get oodles and boodles of yield on your Solana safely and sexily.  We have a very serious discussion that is actually interesting because Hadley has been in the space long enough to know how to explain cryptomatic themes without driving his audience to drink cyanide out of boredom or confusion. I have been a long time stalker of Hadley's ever since he graced the podcast of #OntheBrink when I stumbled upon this podcast thinking I was going to listen to an episode about how to grapple with mental health due to my unresolved feelings of my ex-husband when in fact he explained how Staking indeed enhances security and injects a new economic layer into the crypto ecosystem.  This ep resolved my feelings towards my ex. Hadley is an expert leader of teams and also skilled in how to handle the relentless crypto-paparazzi.As such he provided me with some much needed media training before my stint as a guest on  the Real Housewives of North Korea. He has become more than a colleague but not in a Bizarre we need to call HR way, like in normal circumstances concerning me and HR, but in a way that he is my friend and my marinated Solana guru. He is also hella Fun and it is a crying shame that yet another crypto bro remains off the market. #Marinade #Glitter Ledger. 

Western coaching models weren't built for African leaders. So Nankhonde Kasonde, a Zambian international development as well as a leadership development specialist and certified coach, created something that was.Nankhonde's Bio:Nankhonde Kasonde is a Zambian international development specialist, certified leadership coach, and the founder of Zanga, an African leadership assessment and HR analytics company.As a leadership coach, Nankhonde recognized that African leaders need a coaching framework rooted in African national, regional, and continental values—rather than Western models that do not align with the cultural realities of high-context societies like Zambia.In high-context cultures, such as those in parts of Africa, China, and Japan, communication is often layered and indirect, relying on shared understanding, relationships, and cultural norms. This contrasts with low-context cultures, where communication tends to be more explicit and direct, as seen in Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States (for example). Recognizing this fundamental difference, Nankhonde developed a coaching framework tailored to African leadership, built on five key cultural dimensions: belief, pride, community, loyalty, and respect.Through Zanga, she provides African-grounded leadership coaching, self- and 360-degree assessments, and HR analytics that support talent management and organizational development. Her work aims to reshape leadership development in Africa by integrating culturally relevant coaching methodologies that truly resonate with African leaders.We Discuss:How did Nankhonde come to conclude that the Western approaches to coaching were not sufficiently helpful for African clients or tailored to their needs? In what ways were these coaching approaches not culturally appropriate?How did Nankhonde set out to develop your new coaching framework?What are the components of Nankhonde's coaching framework for African clients and how it is different from Western or  North-founded frameworks?Where does this coaching model diverge from Western ones?Resources:Zanga's LinkedIn pageNankhonde's LinkedIn pageZanga's websiteClick here to subscribe to be alerted when new podcast episodes come out or when Tosca produces other thought leadership pieces.Or email Tosca at tosca@5oaksconsulting.org if you want to talk about your social sector organization's needs, challenges, and opportunities.You can find Tosca's content by following her on her social media channels: LinkedIn  Facebook

Simon Reeve is a broadcaster and writer best known for his TV documentaries which combine travel and adventure with investigations into the challenges faced by the places he visits.His journeys have taken him across jungles, deserts, mountains and oceans, and to some of the most dangerous and remote regions of the world. He's dodged bullets on frontlines, dived with seals and sharks, survived malaria, walked through minefields and tracked lions on foot.Simon grew up in Acton in west London. He experienced anxiety and depression as a teenager and left school with few qualifications. He eventually found a job in the post room at the Sunday Times and from there progressed to working with the news teams, filing stories on a range of subjects from organised crime to nuclear smuggling. In the late 1990s he wrote one of the first books about Al-Qaeda and its links to Osama Bin Laden. His expertise in this area was quickly called upon after the 9/11 attacks in the USA, and he became a regular guest on American television and radio programmes.The current pandemic put Simon's overseas trips into abeyance and he has turned his attention to the UK, recently making programmes about Cornwall and the Lake District.

Humanities West and the Italian Cultural Institute celebrate the life and art of Giacomo Puccini (December 22, 1858 to November 29, 1924) on the 100th anniversary of his death. His operas La Bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly and Turandot are among the most beloved and most often-recorded operas of all time. His arias are famous for both their emotional resonance and their melodic beauty—even among millions who have never listened to a complete opera. Puccini was born into a centuries-old family of Italian composers, and he began his successful career just as Verdi was completing his, quickly inheriting Verdi's renown as the greatest living composer of Italian opera. We have brought the internationally praised scholar and musicologist Gabriele Dotto from Italy to share the stage with San Francisco Opera's favorite Kip Cranna to tell some of the stories behind the composition of Puccini's heavenly arias. Giacomo Puccini and the Impact of Early 20th Century Media Gabriele Dotto will trace the rapid rise of sound recordings and film as competitors for opera theaters and the traditional business of music publishers. Puccini and his publisher, Casa Ricordi, demonstrated an extraordinary combination of artistic creation and commercial activity, using new and efficient strategies to market Casa Ricordi's opera repertoire to a globally expanding audience and “branding” Puccini as the publishing house's most iconic composer. Puccini Before Fame: The Composer in His Youth Clifford (Kip) Cranna will discuss Puccini's boyhood experiences, his musical training and his operatic influences. Cranna will demonstrate that some of the music Puccini wrote as a student was eventually recycled in his later operas. He will also concentrate on Puccini's first two operas, the rarely performed Le Villi and Edgar, which were composed before his first big hit Manon Lescaut—the beginning of his enduring fame and operatic stardom.
