O Teatro Amazonas é um dos marcos culturais mais icônicos do Brasil. Localizado em Manaus, no coração da Amazônia, sua construção começou em 1884 e foi concluÃda em 1896, durante o auge do ciclo da borracha. Este perÃodo de prosperidade econômica permitiu que a cidade investisse em um teatro grandioso, inspirado nos grandes teatros europeus.
O teatro foi inaugurado em 31 de dezembro de 1896, com uma apresentação da ópera "La Gioconda" de Amilcare Ponchielli. Sua arquitetura é uma mistura de estilos renascentista e barroco, com materiais importados da Europa, como mármore italiano, aço inglês e lustres de cristal franceses.
O Teatro Amazonas não é apenas um sÃmbolo da riqueza passada, mas também um centro ativo de cultura e arte, recebendo apresentações de ópera, balé, teatro e música clássica até os dias de hoje.

Normally I pride myself on not taking any notice when ads for things I've contemplated buying turn up on my screen, but in this case I had been sorely tempted, and eventually gave in.
The "Amazones de la Confrérie des Gardians" perform a carousel in the Roman Arena of Arles, France. This is to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Mireille, the famous poem of Frederic Mistral.
Frédéric Mistral (September 8, 1830?March 25, 1914) was a French poet who led the 19th century revival of Occitan (Provençal) language and literature. He was a key figure in the literary félibrige movement. He shared the Nobel Prize in literature in 1904 for his contributions in literature and philology.

Mireille is also an opera in five acts by Charles Gounod to a French libretto by Michel Carré after Frédéric Mistral's poem Mireio. Gounod was charmed by the originality of the work, the story being much less contrived than many of those on the operatic stage at the time. During the course of composition Gounod spent much time in Provence (12 March to the end of May 1863), visiting the sites of the action in the poem/opera, and met Mistral on several occasions at his home in Maillane. Gounod stayed at the Hôtel de la Ville Vert in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and was treated to a banquet by the townspeople on May 26. Presenting class differences in a rural setting was not usual at the time, and as Huebner comments "some early reviewers had difficulty accepting that a 'mere' country girl could sing a heroic aria such as "En marche". It has been argued that "what matters in this extended lyric poem is not the story but the rich tapestry or Provençal traditions, beliefs and customs"
