Story
Giovanni Tempesta always dreamed of becoming an opera tenor and one day singing from the stage of the La Scala Opera House in his hometown of Milan, Italy. But with no real training, his dream has little chance for fulfillment. One day, he meets and immediately falls in love with Isabella Monterone, a dark-haired beauty, whose father, a very rich and powerful Milanese Judge, refuses to allow his daughter to date a penniless musician.

Story
Con uno stile raffinato e trascinante, Vittorio Sermonti "spiega al popolo" quattordici opere di Verdi, "il più spudorato genio della musica per teatro", dal Nabucco all'Otello, passando per l'Aida, il Rigoletto, il Trovatore e la Traviata. Ci fa riscoprire i celebri melodrammi attraverso il racconto della trama e persino della musica, l'analisi dei personaggi, riferimenti alla vita e alle lettere di Verdi, accenni alle vicende del libretto, notizie sparse sulle prime esecuzioni, annotazioni storiche sull'Italia del Risorgimento e dell'Unità.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart vermochte wie keine Zweiter seiner Zeit, die Stärken und Schwächen seiner Opernfiguren suggestiv und plakativ zu modellieren. Durch seine Musik entdeckt er uns zugleich ihre Empfindungen und geheimen Absichten. Durch die Verbindung von tönenden Beispielen und erklärendem Text ermöglicht es dieser klingende Opernführer, die spannende Beziehung zwischen subtiler Innenseite und turbulenter Bühnenhandlung zu erfassen und beim Opernbesuch zu genießen.

Story
Russell 'The Voice' Watson is a star with a real story to tell. While most stars of today find success early, Russell was still working in a Salford factory at the age of 30. He spent the evenings singing in working men's clubs for extra cash to keep the bailiffs from his family's door. The chairman of Manchester United gave him his big break in May 1999: the opportunity to sing at Old Trafford. His extraordinary performance was quickly followed by a record deal and his phenomenal debut album.

Story
Since this rock opera is based on my Baby Boomer generation, the war representing my father was of course WWII. Although my father fought in the South Pacific, this story is more symbolic by starring an American soldier in Europe. During this European theater of war, the soldiers socialized with the citizens of the countries they passed through and fought in. As a result, there were many babies born in Europe with an absent American father.

Story
Die Hochzeit des Figaro gilt als Höhepunkt der Oper und eines der größten Werke des Genies Mozart. Es begründet die Zusammenarbeit zweier Meister ihres Fachs: Des Komponisten Mozarts, mit dem Librettisten Lorenzo da Ponte. Die literarische Vorlage war ein Skandalstück, das den Autoren ins Gefängnis brachte, der Zensur zum Opfer fiel und überhaupt für Furore sorgte. Ludwig XVI urteilte: „Wenn ich dieses Stück genehmigen würde, müsste ich konsequenterweise gleich die Bastille einreißen.“

This thing caught us all unawares. Disney were preparing to launch their new subscription TV channel on March 24, in many European countries, including the UK, just as those countries headed into lockdown. Disney’s course of action was clear: they immediately stopped production on their new content, told the content creators they couldn’t afford to pay them and laid them off, put all their existing content online for free, and appealed to the public for donations to help them through the current crisis.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
