An aria by Vivaldi for PaPoGris' Music Time...

... L'Olimpiade: Act II/V, aria "Siam navi all'onde algenti"
performed by Aris Christofellis as Aminta.


"Siam navi all' onde algenti
lasciate in abbandono
impetuosi venti i nostri affetti sono,
ogni diletto è scoglio,
tutta la vita un mar.

Ben qual nocchiero in noi
veglia ragion ma poi
pur dall' ondoso orgoglio
si lascia trasportar."


Recorded in Paris, February 1990.

Vivaldi wrote the Olimpiade in 1734 for the Teatro Sant'Angelo in Venice.
The libretto for Olimpiade, one of the most famous librettos of the eighteenth
century, was written by Pietro Metastasio in 1733. It has been set to music in
the same year by Antonio Caldara, then by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi in 1735
and by Leonardo Leo in 1737, as well as by Vivaldi himself.

The Olimpiade was the first of Vivaldi's operas to be exhumed and reproposed
to the international public in the twentieth century.
Alfredo Casella was responsible for its modern-day revival in 1939, as part of
the Siena Musical Week

The Nemo festival at 104 art center...

Since April the 1st - and following the call of Mouvement magazine,
the 104*
is "occupied"... because another 104 is possible !

However, the Art centre houses since April 8th and until this week end
some of the events of the 12th multimedia Nemo Festival.
Nemo (Arcadi + 104 + LeCube) has expanded on the idea of a new cinema based on
computer graphics,
music videos, animated graphic design, interactive installations and
audiovisual
performances.








* This new center for the Arts was opened two years ago by Bertrand
Delanoë, the Paris' Mayor.

See the story of the building

Shadows hang over Easter 2010

Today, on the front page of Le Figaro...
"Pâques: 4.000 chrétiens à la Défense"

This year, as in 2007, the Sunday following the first full moon after
the beginning of spring falls on the same day in the Gregorian calendar
(the Protestant and Catholic) and Julian (the Orthodox).

Archbishop of Paris, Mgr André Vingt-Trois, made no reference to the
scandals currently rocking the Church.
According to comments reported by the official Vatican newspaper,
L'Osservatore Romano, Archbishop Vingt-Trois denounced at the Mass of Holy Thursday,
"an offensive aimed at destabilizing the Pope and the Church through him."

[AFP - 04/04/2010]

- my Feline and very subjective translation:
"Pâques: 4.000 malvoyants & malentendants à la Défense...
de l'Indéfendable
*."

- from Feline to English translation:
"Easter: 4,000 visually & hearing Impaired in
[at La] Défense...
of the indefensible*."

Nonetheless, Happy Easter 2010 to you all !
