Soprano Patricia Racette Talks in Washington National Opera

"Especially at the beginning of my career," Racette explains when we chat at WNO's Maryland
rehearsal studio, "I liked doing a lot of different things. I can do a lot of different things, so why not do them? This idea really appealed to my creative and intellectual sense about this art form. I remember early conversations with various officials in the profession who cautioned me to let people see who I was, and I did consider myself 'nicheless' because, well, 'Don't box me in.' But I think my Puccini and my Janacek [Jenufa and Katya Kabanova] are where I'm most at home and where my abilities most easily flow out of me."

Susan Dormady Eisenberg: Soprano Patricia Racette Talks About Tosca as Washington National Opera Launches its Fall Season:

Desde Picasso a Serra

La segunda parte, 'Posguerra, años 40-50', reúne obras de Granell, Gurvich, Matta, Gaya y su 'Homenaje a Velázquez'; Planasdurá, Palazuelo, Equipo 57, Vasarely, Michaux, Tápies, Millares, cuya oscuridad destaca con la armonía cromática de Esteban Vicente; Saura, Rivera, Martín Chirino, Feito, Canogar y José Guerrero.
Las piezas expuestas están repartidas por las dos plantas y en la de abajo la escultura de Chillida -que tiene también colgado un dibujo en la escalera- dialoga con la de Serra 'Proyecto para la plaza del Callao de Madrid', incluido en el último espacio.


'Años 60' es el título del tercer apartado de la exposición de la Pasión, en el que está Arman, representado por una pareja de figuras en bronce sobre madera que contrastan con 'Tiradlos todos, Dios encontrará a los suyos', una pieza formada por una gran caja de plexiglás que contiene numerosos insecticidas que estuvieron de moda hace más de cincuenta años. Hay también obras de Rabascal, Arroyo, el óleo 'Bonaparte', y Equipo Crónica, 'La lámpara'.


La muestra finaliza con 'Últimas décadas', que representa Calder, Christo, con el dibujo de un proyecto para envolver una pared que cuelga en la escalera; Caro, Lewitt, Paternosto, Carmen Calvo y Dis Berlin.

SEO | Is There any difference between Spam and Social Networking?

 "My answer of course. There is no difference to me – spam and social networking merge into one.


Did someone leave a comment because they wanted to, or because it’s a must do with the social network thing?
Did I get friended on Facebook for friendship’s sake or because we need to network, network, network?
And what the heck is networking anyway?
I can sit here all day clicking on Like and Friend and I honestly don’t believe it will make me a single cent richer or a thought wiser.


Maybe it will make me a better person, but with RSI.


I realise in one single page I have now thrown away any chance of becoming most popular thing of the week, or rising to the top of the shallow friend u like polls – but sometimes, even in this social networking time, if you want to say something…


Just say it.


What did they use to say? Publish and be Damned?


Well OK, Publish and be Unfriended – let’s do it. At least it will cut down on the spam.


Oh. Whoops. Nearly forgot. If you liked this piece then please leave a comment and friend me. I love it really. It was autopilot made me do it."

What is the Difference between Spam and Social Networking?:

Renoir painting unjustly taken before Holocaust

In 1956, steel magnate Newton Korhumel and his wife, Irene, bought a florid country landscape by French impressionist master Pierre-Auguste Renoir at a New York gallery. The painting hung proudly in their Lake Forest home.


Now, there's a question as to whether the couple ever truly owned the painting.


Irene Korhumel died in December, nine years after her husband. The executor of their estate turned to Christie's auction house in Chicago to sell the painting, created by an artist whose work routinely fetches millions of dollars.


But any potential sale is on hold, awaiting a possible claim by the heirs of a German textile mogul who, like many other Jews in mid-20th century Europe, lost his art collection to the Nazi onslaught, said Olaf Ossmann, a Swiss lawyer who represents the mogul's heirs.
