	Opera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Traditional opera consists of two modes of singing: recitative, the dialogue and plot-driving passages often sung in a non-melodic style characteristic of opera, and aria, during which the movement of the plot often stops and the music and the singers focus on one topic using full voice.
		The bel canto opera movement flourished in the early 19th century and is exemplified by the operas of Rossini, Bellini, and Donizetti.
		Verdi's operas resonated with the growing spirit of Italian nationalism in the post-Napoleonic era, and he quickly became an icon of the nationalist movement (although his own politics were perhaps not quite so radical).

		Traditional opera consists of two modes of singing: recitative, the dialogue and plot-driving passages often sung in a non-melodic style characteristic of opera, and aria, during which the movement of the plot often pauses, with the music becoming more melodic in character and the singer focusing on one topic or emotional affect.
		All types of singing in opera are accompanied by musical instruments, though until the late 18th century generally, and persisting until even later in some regions, recitative was accompanied by only the continuo group (harpsichord and 'cello or bassoon).
		In addition to opera in Italy, developing concurrently in the late 16th-early 17th centuries were the English masque and the French ballet au court, which were similar to the Italian intermedi in many respects.

	[No title]
		The movie, directed by the superb Michael Apted, is based on a literate, absorbing thriller by Robert Harris, who portrays Bletchley as a hothouse of intrigue in which Britain's most brilliant mathematicians worked against the clock to break German codes and warn North Atlantic convoys.
		The movie is pretty straightforward: Ian and Toula meet, they date, they bashfully discover they like one another, the families uneasily coexist, the wedding becomes inevitable, and it takes place (when Ian's mother brings a Bundt cake to the wedding, no one has the slightest idea what it is).
		The scene between Sorvino and Shaw is one of the most delightful in the movie, as the prim spinster allows herself reluctantly to believe that she might be irresistible--that this handsome youth might indeed have penetrated the compound hoping to seduce her.

		Depending on the weight of its subject matter, opera comique shades into operetta, which, along with vaudeville gave rise to the musical comedy perfected in New York.

		Historically the most famous opera in the French Grand Opera tradition is probably Gounod's Faust, particularly in the United States where it was a favorite at the Met for the better half of the 20th century.
		The extravagant production, including ballet set pieces, of Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin can probably be traced back to the Grand Opera tradition as well.
		Wagner also made copious use of the leitmotif (Weber had used a similar device earlier), a dramatic device which associates a musical line with each character or idea in the story.

	The One and Only Ken Russell
		The basic outline of the plot concerns the religious hysteria brought about by a church fearful of the individualistic effect that the priest - Father Grandier (Oliver Reed giving probably his best performance) - is having upon the townspeople and the inhabitants of a nunnery.
		Alternately light and serious in parts, Mahler's music is explored through a number of tableaux, all tinged with a hint of Russell's flamboyancy which (while not necessarily impressing the musical purists) conquers over the obviously minimal budget to produce quite a satisfying and entertaining experience.
		Many of the classic Russell hallmarks are there - dream sequences, nuns, some bad acting and clunky dialogue, but something about it really works and is both genuinely endearing and extremely good fun.

		Nonetheless, she doesn't seem nearly as concerned with differentiating Mimi from Norma, or Carmen from Manon, as she is with projecting "star quality." Eventually, it is not enough to sustain her recital; numbness besets the listener.
		Krenek, by dint of his use of inherited forms and devices, and Messaien, by the impressive consistency of his means of expression achieve a certain universality, although Krenek's work has already faded from the general scene.

		Opera came to Chicago in the mid-1950s courtesy of Carol Fox, tough-minded founder of Lyric Opera of Chicago.
		To view classical music as lacking compared to pop and film because it doesn’t obviously interact with the (wholly problematic) zeitgeist or do so in great numbers is to somewhat misunderstand music’s perception/role/existence throughout the years.
		Classical music has more often been a “lagging indicator” of social/political/cultural life than a “leading indicator” (to borrow terms from the world of economics).
