The Opera Guild’s Talking Opera series concluded last night at the beautiful Fenimore Art Museum with Abby Kreh Gibson and Guild President Tom Simpson (right) discussing Verdi’s Aida, which kicks off the 2012 Festival. It was particularly relevant that this talk occurred at Fenimore because the museum is presenting an exhibit of costumes related to the season, which includes costumes from Aida and Armide productions at the Metropolitan Opera. Abby and Tom went through the opera, relaying information about Verdi himself and the opera and how it focuses on themes of patriotism and the father-daughter relationship. After the talk, snacks were provided and the complementary Fenimore exhibits were open to those who attended.

The Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper) is an opera house – and opera company – with a history dating back to the mid-19th century. It is located in the centre of Vienna, Austria. It was originally called the Vienna Court Opera (Wiener Hofoper); in 1920, it was renamed the Vienna State Opera. The members of the Vienna Philharmonic are recruited from its orchestra.
The building was the first major building on the Vienna Ringstraße commissioned by the controversial Viennese "city expansion fund". Work commenced on the building in 1861 and was completed in 1869, following plans drawn up by architects August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll, who lived together in the 6. Bezirk. It was built in the Neo-Renaissance style.
The Ministry of the Interior had commissioned a number of reports into the availability of certain building materials, with the result that stones long not seen in Vienna were used, such as Wöllersdorfer Stein, for plinths and free-standing, simply-divided buttresses, the famously hard stone from Kaisersteinbruch, whose colour was more appropriate than that of Kelheimerstein, for more lushly decorated parts. The somewhat coarser-grained Kelheimerstein (also known as Solnhof Plattenstein) was intended as the main stone to be used in the building of the opera house, but the necessary quantity was not deliverable. Breitenbrunner stone was suggested as a substitute for the Kelheimer stone, and stone from Jois was used as a cheaper alternative to the Kaiserstein. The staircases were constructed from polished Kaiserstein, while most of the rest of the interior was decorated with varieties of marble.
The decision was made to use dimension stone for the exterior of the building. Due to the monumental demand for stone, stone from Sóskút, widely used in Budapest, was also used. Three Viennese masonry companies were employed to supply enough masonry labour: Eduard Hauser (still in existence today), Anton Wasserburger and Moritz Pranter. The foundation stone was laid on May 20, 1863.

The exciting new opera house is located right on the waters of the Oslofjord; it was constructed between 2003 and 2007 and formally opened in 2008. It was designed by the Oslo architecture firm Snøhetta AS.
It has quickly become Oslo's most iconic building. The most intriguing aspect of its design is its roof construction. If reaches from the top of the building all the way to the waters of the Oslofjord. People can walk on the entire roof, and on a sunny day many locals lie on the sloped roof and work on a sun tan.
Hazelnut macarons sandwiched with expresso buttercream and a dark chocolate ganache centre. I really like the pale cream colour of the macaron shells, flecked with tiny brown specs of hazelnut skin. Read more about them and how you can take them home here.

Many celebrities, including Mary Pickford, entertained area residents from the stage of the beautiful Germania Opera House since it opened its doors in 1914. The Opera House was later converted into the Ritz Movie Theater where Donna Reed fell in love with motion pictures. In 1988, the Donna Reed Foundation, with financial support from the community and corporate grants, saved the building. In 1995, the first phase of restoration was completed with the help of thousands of community volunteer hours. The theatre seats 550 and offers films as well as live concerts and theatrical presentations year round. The second phase of renovation included support of the Crawford County Chamber of Commerce

Buxton Opera House, Buxton, Derbyshire
As a member of the EDNA team I visited Buxton Opera House to take location shots for "Discover Buxton tours", a local company with a little red tour tram.
The Opera House is the first stop on their tour of the town and despite them usually only viewing the outside of the building during the tour we were able to document the inside for use on their website and tour guide.
Peking Opera, a synthesis of music, dance, art and acrobatics, is known as Chinas national opera and widely regarded as the highest expression of the Chinese culture. It is the most refined form of opera in the world and one of the three main theatrical systems in the world. Although it is called Peking Opera, its origins are not in Beijing but in the Chinese provinces of Anhui and Hubei. It then absorbed repertoire, music, arias and performing techniques from other operas and musical arts in China and became the most influential and representative of all operas in China Almost every province of China has more than one Peking Opera troupe. Beijing and Tianjin are respected as the key base cities in the north while Shanghai is the base in the south.
It is regarded that the opera was born when the Four Great Anhui Troupes came to Beijing in 1790, originally staged for the royal family and then the public. In 1828, some famous Hubei Troupe players came to Beijing. Hubei and Anhui troupes often jointly performed in the stage. The combination gradually formed the mainstream of Peking Operas melodies. One of the rare forms of entertainment, it was favored by people from all walks of the society, from the high-ranking government officials to the lower levels of society.
There are thousands of pieces covering the entire history and literature of China, even including revised stories from the West. They can be divided into "civil" pieces, characterized by singing, and "martial" ones, featuring acrobatics and stunts. Some pieces are combination of both. Its repertoire includes historical plays, comedies, tragedies and farces. Many historical events are adapted into the plays, which in the past were an important primer on history and ethical principles for poorly educated folk.
There are four roles in general: the male, the female, the "painted face", and the clown, which are further classified by age and profession. The makeup highlights and exaggerates the principal features of the characters.
Two orchestras, playing string and percussion instruments, accompany the singing, which follows a fixed pattern but has a variety of melodies and rhythms. The "jinghu", a small two-strings bowed instrument, is the backbone of the orchestras.
The operatic dialogues and monologues are recited in Beijing dialect, and some of the words are pronounced in a special fashion, unique to the opera.
The actors and actresses, in addition to singing, use well-established movements, such as smoothing a beard, adjusting a hat, jerking a sleeve or raising a foot, to express certain emotions and meaning. Opening a door, walking at night, rowing a boat, eating, drinking and the like are all demonstrated by the stylized movements of the actors and actresses. Performers also use their eyes and facial expressions to help convey the specific meaning.
The acrobatic fighting, whether between two parties or in a melee, is a skillful combination of martial arts and acting.
In the past 200 years, numerous schools and celebrated performers have emerged. There is no lack of social celebrities among the fans. Emperor Guangxu of Qing Dynasty, for example, was not only a good amateur singer, but also a good drummer (as the conductor) in the orchestra. The Empress Dowager was an avid fan, too. The huge three-story theater in the Summer Palace is a proof of her love for the opera.
