Es gibt einige Chöre, die kennt fast jeder: zum Beispiel den "Gefangenenchor" aus Verdis "Nabucco". Auch der "Jägerchor" aus Carl Maria von Webers "Freischütz" ist so eine Art klassischer Gassenhauer. Und das "Halleluja" aus Händels "Messias" zählt ebenfalls zu diesen Chor-Hits. Begonnen hat die Erfolgsgeschichte des Händelschen Messias allerdings gar nicht so glorreich, sondern als der ungekrönte Opernkönig Georg Friedrich Händel in London ziemlich in der Klemme steckte...

Wenngleich Giuseppe Verdis große Oper “Don Carlos“ mittlerweile zu den beliebtesten Werken des Komponisten gehört, dieses ursprünglich für Paris als „Grande Opéra“ komponierte Geschichtspanorama nach Schillers gleichnamigem Drama ist ein „Work in Progress“ geblieben, das mehrfach über- und bearbeitet wurde. Das Theater Freiburg hat sich in diesem Sinne ebenfalls an eine neue Version der vieraktigen italienischen Fassung mit ergänzenden Texten des österreichischen Dramatikers Thomas Köck in der Regie von Michael von zur Mühlen und der musikalischen Leitung von André de Ridder gewagt.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.On today's show, we bring the institutional family office perspective to private markets. We talk with Jamie Rhode, a Principal at Verdis Investment Management. Verdis is a single family office based in Philadelphia that was built on the rich legacy of the family, a major business family, that has spanned over three centuries.At Verdis, Jamie is focused on venture capital, private equity, and hedge fund investment sourcing and due diligence. She joined Verdis from Bloomberg, where she held roles in both equity research and credit analysis. Verdis is an active investor in the venture capital ecosystem, leveraging a data-driven investment approach that Jamie spearheads to allocate to mainly smaller and emerging managers. They've taken a very thoughtful approach to asset allocation, particularly venture, and have had a number of valuable insights on asset allocation come out of that process.Jamie and I had a fascinating discussion about the allocator's perspective on venture capital and smaller fund managers.We discussed: Why Jamie believes that 90% of investment returns come from asset allocation strategy. Why smaller funds often drive the best returns. Why illiquidity and duration are so critical to producing outsized returns, with Verdis finding that the last 20% of the hold period of a fund producing 46% of the returns. Why Verdis believes in the strength of the YC network. The perfect fund size and portfolio construction. Why former operators may not make the best fund managers in Jamie's view. Thanks Jamie for coming on the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast to share your wisdom and data-driven perspectives.

In this episode I sit down with Rodrigo Castellanos, VC & Growth Equity investor at StepStone, to talk about his path into finance, and MBA and then to growth equity & venture investing.

Mit Macbeth und seiner Frau hat William Shakespeare vor mehr als vierhundert Jahren eines der furchterregendsten Paare der Weltliteratur geschaffen. 250 Jahre später hat Giuseppe Verdi daraus eine gespenstische, nachtschwarze Oper gemacht. Die Salzburger Festspiele haben sie heuer aufs Programm gesetzt - in der Regie von Krzysztof Warlikowski und mit Asmik Grigorian in der Rolle der Lady Macbeth. Am Pult: Philippe Jordan. BR-KLASSIK war bei den Proben dabei.

Oper kostenlos und unverbindlich mitten in der Stadt hörbar machen: Das ist die Idee von "Oper für alle". Am 23. Juli war es wieder soweit. Tausende Kulturinteressierte konnten Verdis "Aida" auf dem Münchner Max-Joseph-Platz bei bestem Wetter erleben.

Verdis Erfolgsoper "Aida" fand bei ihrer Premiere am 16. Mai im Münchner Nationaltheater keinen ungeteilten Zuspruch: Regisseur Damiano Michieletto inszenierte ein düsteres Antikriegsstück mit sehr schlichter Botschaft, die eher zu einem Stück von Kurt Weill gepasst hätte.

Don't look Too close What you know Isn't what you know; A cold wind blows My hopes away, My home away from home. I was on the wrong bus for awhile before I noticed it, or rather, the right bus, going in the wrong direction— or even, to be clearer, as the bus was marked 5554, or some other number at the end, of course overshadowed by the first sequenced numbers, always tending to me uncomfortable— even though I had attempted to wash its original meaning to my self out of my mind by replacing it with its most commonly accepted Angel number meaning—I was doing everything I could anyway to move toward forgiveness and alluding to the obvious notion that, whatever had happened between my ex and I had been for the better after all, after all was said and done ( and though it never really was), the love and our marriage were at least ended, and never to rerun to that or any relationship which would put my mind and body at risk, let alone my heart or my soul.

Pepperoni Green Bell Peppers Roasted garlic Red pepper l l WhiteMushroom Link sausage LINK SAUSAGE? Yeah, I guess. Why link sausage? I'll tell you later. Okay. Strangely enough, of course, by the time I had realized it, though, I was back at the same intersection at which I always transferred, and though I had been in the city long enough, but not quite settled, it had been a while since I had been turned around or lost unintentionally—though I did sometimes make a habit or acurrying about in airplane mode and taking trains out of my way in order to dislodge whatever had been tracking me, whether it was supernatural or otherwise—it did seem to deter the sometimes uncomfortable and problematic psychological attacks—which, the more I studied and gave way to being some kind of targeted practice, using the empties bodies of those controlled by their phones—consistently connected to applications such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Tik Tok—“Tracking Apps” which I called them, and was not wholeheartedly against so much as without need for them, as my need for any sort of affection—especially the false instant gratification one might gain or lose, becoming victim to the racially programmed algorithms and calculated population division and psychological terrorization of an entire generation; no judgement passed, but I had been careful to remind myself that whatever was happening by way of social media was a cultural and non-televised revolution, from which I wanted no part of. Still, I had noticed that when a high number of coughing people did happen to find my way around my presence, I was connected to some sort of network, and that those particular people were typically visibly sick in some other way—scrolling mindlessly, or without the light or life in their eyes left, eating poisonous food, or acting in the way of some other unworldly seeming sickness; I began to cope of course with the comfort that, in the event of bad intentions having been set on me in any individualist mindset—a curse would be returned tenfold if not more.

Giuseppina Strepponi, eine damals berühmte Sängerin, lernte um 1840 einen jungen, noch unbekannten Komponisten kennen: Giuseppe Verdi. Sie lebten in wilder Ehe, zuerst in Paris, dann in Italien. Schließlich heirateten sie. Eine schwierige Ehe. Wie würde La Strepponi heute reden, wenn sie noch einmal über die imaginäre Bühne eines Opernhauses schreiten würde? Unser ZOOM versucht eine Antwort.

Synopsis On today's date in 1862, Giuseppe Verdi's opera La Forza del Destino or The Force of Destiny had its premiere at the Imperial Theater in St. Petersburg, Russia. Verdi and his wife, Giuseppina, were present for the opening night. We're not sure what the outdoor temperature was in St. Petersburg that November evening, but it was something that the Verdis carefully considered before agreeing to attend. Responding to a friend's letter describing a Russian winter, Giuseppina wrote: “If I were not afraid of committing forgery, I would alter that imposing figure of 22 below zero which will make Verdi open his eyes wide in fright… As for myself, I took refuge under the stove… In any case, I shall try and persuade him to expose his nose to the danger of freezing in Russia.” Perhaps in artistic compensation, the story of Forza is set in sultry Spain—and after the premiere in St. Petersburg, the Verdis did indeed set off for warmer climates of Rome and Madrid, where the new opera was to have its next performances. In the early years of the 20th century, La Forza del Destino—like most of Verdi's works—was seldom staged, but in the 1920s it was successfully revived, and its overture has become a concert hall favorite. Music Played in Today's Program Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) Overture and Act II excerpt, from La Forza del Destino John Alldis Choir; London Symphony; James Levine, conductor. RCA/BMG 39502

Steve Kim (https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenrkim/), Partner and head of Investment Strategy at Verdis, a 9-generation single family office, joins Olga Serhiyevich (@olgaserhi), Head of Investor Relations at Village Global, on this episode. Takeaways: Early stage venture is a power law asset class where the returns of the asset class are driven by outliers. The best way to increase probability of getting asset class rate of return is by increasing variance in the portfolio through diversification. Pattern matching tends to reduce variance and contrary to industry's beliefs, is undesirable from the systematic approach perspective. There is no limit to diversification beyond practical limitations of being able to see and invest in all the relevant deals for GPs. 20-30 portfolio companies is a typical level of diversification in other asset classes including growth equity and buyout where returns are normally distributed. In early stage venture (pre-seed to Series A) this level of diversification is less likely to produce industry average returns on a consistent basis. The average rate of unicorn production is 1-2% in the industry but it varies across sectors, vintage years and geographies. So, Verdis chooses to maximize diversity across the number of companies, sectors and vintages because there is no clear indication in data that subsets of those are more likely to produce outliers but invest with a bias towards key geographies due to higher concentration of unicorns there. Most of the outliers in the US of the last decade came from two geographies - California and New York. The magnitude of these outliers was also significantly greater than unicorn companies built elsewhere. For example, on average it takes 4 non-California outliers to equal the magnitude of outcome of a California unicorn. Startup exit data from other geographies looks a lot more normally distributed which calls for a different approach. Data-driven investment strategy's main drawback is the backward-looking nature of the approach. But it's useful in that it provides a systematic approach to guide portfolio construction. If managers believe that the part of the VC asset class they focus on follows power law distribution, then they would want to have the most diversified portfolio as possible with a lot more than traditional 10-20 companies. In the power law world, losses don't matter. One of the key insights from investing in venture for almost two decades is that most managers are going to stage-drift. Allocating to emerging managers who often focus on early stage due to smaller fund sizes and comfort with first check investing is one way for LPs to hedge against stage-drift. In Verdis's view, low reserves and quick capital deployment cycle is advantageous to LPs focused on multiples not IRRs.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform.Check us out on the web at www.villageglobal.vc or get in touch with us on Twitter @villageglobal.Want to get updates from us?

Es gibt einige Chöre, die kennt fast jeder: zum Beispiel den "Gefangenenchor" aus Verdis "Nabucco". Auch der "Jägerchor" aus Webers "Freischütz" ist so eine Art klassischer Gassenhauer. Und das "Halleluja" aus Händels "Messias" zählt ebenfalls zu diesen Chor-Hits. Begonnen hat die Erfolgsgeschichte dieses "Messias" allerdings gar nicht so glorreich, sondern als der ungekrönte Opernkönig Händel in London ziemlich in der Klemme steckte...

Steve Kim is a partner in investment strategy and risk management at Verdis Investment Management in the Philadelphia area. He has focused over 30 years in his career in implementing and managing operating infrastructures. Prior to his role at Verdis held various Chief Technology Officer roles. He now focuses on integrating his insight from systems modeling and data analysis into an investment approach, particularly in the venture capital arena. We start with Steve's upbringing and early education and ask how his various Chief Technology Officer roles evolved over time to embrace data and AI, and what the key challenges for such roles are today.We move then to discuss the insights he brings from this background into investment management, and how he initially underestimated the randomness of returns and the degree to which modeling was a challenge.  His philosophy on life - as well as venture capital - is that variance is where the unicorns lie, that it is only by focusing on achieving maximum variance that we can hope to happen upon true winners.  This is just as true for the value of diversity within organizations. We focus then on how to achieve scale and efficiency while also achieving variance, which can be a challenge. Our conversation turns to ESG and Steve's view that technology has greatly accelerated engagement, transparency and the integration of an ESG lens when investing. This is an alluring concept, and one that has not been particularly well developed in the current debate.Our conversation ends, as usual, with reflections - the reminder to stay humble, and to avoid overly-simplistic reductionist thinking. This is an exceptionally rich and multi-layered discussion like a complex operating system, but one that bears scrutiny, for the many areas of utility it can touch. Series 4 was sponsored by Alvine Capital.  Founded in 2005, Alvine Capital is a specialist advisor and placement boutique focusing on assisting European Institutional Investors within Alternative Investments.  It partners with best in class managers, adding value to investors by helping to navigate this very fragmented market
