Download or read book The Toughest Show on Earth written by Joseph Volpe and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-02-19 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Toughest Show on Earth is the ultimate behind-the-scenes chronicle of the divas and the dramas of New York’s Metropolitan Opera House, by the remarkable man who rose from apprentice carpenter to general manager. Joseph Volpe gives us an anecdote-filled tour of more than four decades at the Met, an institution full of vast egos and complicated politics. With stunning candor, he writes about the general managers he worked under, his embattled rise to the top, the maneuverings of the blue-chip board, and his masterful approach to making a family of such artist-stars as Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Teresa Stratas, and Renee Fleming, and such visionary directors as Franco Zeffirelli, Robert Wilson, and Julie Taymor. Intimate and frank, The Toughest Show on Earth is not only essential for music lovers, but for anyone who wants to understand the inner workings of the culture business.
Download or read book Terra Incognito written by Douglas Wright and published by Penguin Books. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Malcolm died, Leo died, Janet died. Now I knew I was alive . . . 2003 was the year I was sentenced to live.' This deliciously written memoir is a follow-up to Douglas's acclaimed Ghost Dance, which won the E. H. McCormick Best First Book of Non-fiction Award at the 2005 Montana New Zealand Book Awards. The narrative takes place in the couple of years since Ghost Dance was written. In this new book Wright charts his journey through depression, despair and suicide to eventual resurrection, as he is 'sentenced to live' with HIV and without his best friends. Part of the book is set in respite house for people with HIV, where we meet a rich array of characters coming to terms with their life sentences. The remainder of the book is a measured unfolding of the process behind the creation of Black Milk, Wright's new work of dance-theatre. Terra Incognito resonates with Wright's originality and black humour.
Download or read book Soir e Musicale written by Antony Tudor and published by Taylor & Francis US. This book was released on 1993 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the full Labanotation score of "Soiree Musicale" with detailed study and performance notes, historical background and photographs. The first Tudor ballet to be made available in published form, "Tudor's Soiree Musicale" marks the first step towards preserving the work of this internationally celebrated choreographer, who pointed the way to a deeper psychological insight into the art of ballet. "Soiree Musicale" is a charming, lively piece which is suited to classroom study and stage performance. Although technically demanding when performed to full tempo, the dances allow for a degree of personal interpretation which can surmount technical problems. Ann Hutchinson Guest was a founder and for twenty years director of the New York City Dance Notation Bureau. She has been at the forefront of the development and use of Labanotation, spearheading new ideas in teaching methods incorporating notation. She is presently director of the Lan
Download or read book Striking a Balance written by Barbara Newman and published by Amadeus Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is no measure or science, no absolute approach, to the process by which an instrument of accuracy transforms itself into a dancer and learns to transform steps into dance. That process differs subjectively from artist to artist. If you want to know anything about it, or anything about the choices any given dancer has made and why, you must go straight to that dancer and ask. No one else can tell you, because no one else knows." -- Introduction.
Download or read book The Flower Festival in Genzano written by August Bournonville and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1987 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bournonville's "pas de deux" from "The Flower Festival in Genzano," an important example of the Romantic Ballet heritage, is brought to life through the use of Labanotation. This means of analysing works of dance preserves the choreography of its original form. Handed down over the years from person to person, the "pas de deux" has not always been danced in the true Bournonville tradition; now it can be danced in its original form and style. The publication of The Flower Festival in Genzano: Pas de Deux marks a first in making actual choreography available to students. Detailed information is provided in the Study and Performance Notes which are of great value to both students and dance researchers.
Download or read book Ninette de Valois written by Richard Allen Cave and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ninette de Valois was gifted with myriad talents. It has required a wealth of writers, teachers, performers, colleagues, one-time students and collaborators to come together to engage with and celebrate the complexity of this remarkable woman. The titles of the sections into which the volume has been divided (Biography, Teaching, Wordsmith, Company, Turkey, Choreography, Collaborations, Herself) merely intimate the strength of her inner resources and the diversity of her public achievements, her vision for a company and for the potentials of dance as an art-form. Determining those strengths and that diversity is the objective of 'Ninette de Valois: Adventurous Traditionalist'. Writing alone cannot hope fully to capture the vitality of theatrical performance or the rigours of the training and rehearsal schedules that underpin its virtuosity and so the volume is accompanied by many previously unpublished photographs and a DVD, offering four hours of filmed material of archival value. This study offers a substantial resource to assist future exploration of de Valois' life and work. The essays pursue divergent approaches and encompass contrasting viewpoints; but it is without question that de Valois' unparalleled success derived from her unshaken faith that ballet in its training methods and its repertoire must be both fearlessly adventurous and confidently traditionalist"--Publisher's description, back cover.
