The ROH (& ballet) is a flagship company bringing mostly international artists in most disciplines of the art form. It is not our NATIONAL opera company. Not in terms of ambitions of education, price entry level, outreach, audience demographic, innovation,artists or identity.
ENO is/has always been these things. That is why it created English National Opera North which tours the smaller cities / venues in midlands & up to Newcastle. Why axe the National company in our capital where larger audiences for every production will only be sustainable there
due to population/travel accessibility/ being the cultural hub? Every large European city sustains its international house & home house for its own creatives & tours from there.
You can't find a year round audience in any region outside the capital for rep theatre/ musical so

// This is not "Putin's war", it is NATO's war (again)

While I am no Putin fan, nor do I trust him, for balance...

Russia has not so much been at war with Ukraine the last few months as NATO - or rather a tiny few military-industrial fat cats * who control it, the UN, the WEF,
the WHO by the way, and most everything else - have been at war with Russia for decades, the final insult to Russia having been to break the #MinskAgreements by sitting their weapon systems in Russia's back yard, a kind of Cuban missile crisis in reverse.
* These globalist psychopaths, the very same self-styled 'elites' that hyped up flu season to help roll out the totalitarian Great Reset agenda, do not give a damn about Ukrainian people any more than they do Russian people or any people outside of their circle.

For over 400 years, history has been haunted by Anarkali, the beautiful court dancer who was buried alive by Emperor Akbar, for her love affair with Prince Salim (Akbar’s son and the future Emperor Jahangir). But is the story fact or #fiction? The truth will surprise you! 1/11 Image
This tragic love story has many modern retellings, including the 1960s classic Hindi film Mughal-e-Azam. But if Anarkali is just #folklore, whose grave lies in the magnificent ‘Tomb of Anarkali’ in the heart of #Lahore, the former Mughal capital? 2/11 Image
The grave bears the couplet in #Persian: ‘Ah! If I could behold the face of my beloved once more, I would thank God until the day of resurrection’. It is signed by ‘Majnun Salim Akbar’ ('Enamoured Son of Akbar'). It’s the only clue we have. 3/11

Recap thread of my @Official_GDC talk yesterday, “Up Close & Virtual: The Power of Live VR Actors” for anyone interested in #MetaHumans #VR #Theatre #LiveEvents #SocialVR #CloudXR #CloudGaming. It will also be available in the GDC vault soon. Image
I started w/ my 2008 London story about how watching the best performers in the world from the front row had a profound effect on me. It’s different from a film close-up or from sitting in the back seats. You can hear some of the story in my #GTC21 talk:
vimeo.com/641004744/6080…
Then I did a speed run of my work in #XR for designing real theaters before jumping right into showing Christmas Carol.

I enumerated 3 things that made this show possible:

1. Cloud computing (thanks @nvidia)

2. MetaHumans (thanks Epic)

3. Live Link Face (thanks Epic again) Image

The Jewish cemetery of #Salonica was once the largest Jewish cemetery in Europe, with over 350,000 graves. Its destruction began with the Hellenising policies of interwar Greece and concluded in 1942 during the Nazi occupation of the city. #Thread
Whereas the Jewish cemetery was destroyed and incorporated as part of the Aristotle University, #Salonica’s Dönme cemetery became a football field, and the city’s main Muslim cemetery became the International Fair Ground.
Though the vast majority of tombs in the Jewish cemetery belonged to #Sephardim, there were also many Ashkenazi tombs, as well as some headstones dating back to the Roman era.

A pre-med student I mentor recently watched Wit, and then sent me this text:

"I kept looking for any shred of evidence to defend the way the doctors were acting, and I couldn't find a thing."

2/ The play "Wit" by Margaret Edson has a strange but important role in my journey to becoming a physician.

As a college freshman I was pre-law and did #theatre whenever I could for fun. At the end of the year, I was cast in Wit as part of senior directed one-acts.
3/ The play is about the fictional Dr. Vivian Bearing, English professor and leading expert on the Holy Sonnets of John Donne, and her diagnosis, treatment, and death from ovarian cancer. The play focuses on themes of mortality, personhood, and what it means to be fully human.

THREAD: A question I often get from others as a #gamedev after they hear that my previous career was in #Theatre / #Musicals is “What similarities are there between the two?”

Welp, there are quite a few, so figured I’d talk about some of em!
If I only have a few moments, the first thing I talk about is the large group of specialists collaborating together to make art.

In Theatre, Actors, Musicians, Lighting & Set Designers, etc.

In games; Actors, Composers, Programmers, Lighting & Environment Artists, etc.
If I have more time I like to talk about small examples too like “Cheating Out”.

“Cheat Out” in Theatre means instead of facing how you would naturally face (in this case towards each other), “Cheat” your body “Out” towards the audience so they can see you.

Listen. It took me years to realize I stopped auditioning for musical theater not bc I was lazy, but bc I was in pain. It wasn’t the rejection—it was walking into a room & being made to feel like your body was unreasonable, that by showing up you were wasting everyone’s time.
It was standing in a row with 30 girls in leotards and LaDucas and watching the casting director’s eyes skip over you as he scanned the line, or mindlessly push your headshot to the rejection pile with without even looking at you long enough to see your face.
It was the urge to walk up to the only other big girl in the holding room & sit in silent camaraderie, while secretly hating she was there. There were only so many “old lady” (or “fat friend” or “clueless teen” or “sassy villain”) roles to go around and they’d never cast you both

#VendrediOperaChinois Opéra Puxian « Le récit du Lapin blanc » 莆仙戏《白兔记》

🎭Le #théâtre Puxian (l’#opéra Puxian), vieux de plus de mille ans et surnommé le « fossile vivant des opéras chinois » est l’un des quatre grands théâtres du Sud.

👇Synopsis de la pièce en bas
Il permet l’introduction dans le #Fujian des cent opéras déjà en vogue dans la plaine centrale. Le répertoire traditionnel compte plus de cinq mille pièces, parmi lesquelles quatre-vingts des Song et des Yuan ont été conservées.

#opera #theatre #spectacle #chine #tradition
Les personnages, vivants et émouvants, manifestent les aspects singuliers des représentations du théâtre du Sud de l’époque. La musique est riche et raffinée, la langue lyrique se rapproche de la poésie Tang.
