Orlando Saison 3

NXT TakeOver: Orlando is an upcoming professional wrestling show in the NXT TakeOver series that will take place on April 1, 2017, at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. The event is produced by WWE for its NXT brand, and will be streamed live on the WWE Network.

Olga Neuwirth, for a long time one of the great composers of the present, succeeds with this opera in creating a captivating arc across many musical genres. It’s an exciting, socially critical production by Polly Graham who puts a fantastically singing and playing Kate Lindsey in the center of the action.

Based on the novel Orlando: a biography by Virginia Woolf, the film portrays the writer as swept up in the emotions of her characters. Orlando, a beautiful androgynous nobleman, lives an extraordinarily long life, from the reign of Elizabeth I to modern times, while undergoing a mysterious change of sex and becoming a woman.

A re-framing both of Virginia Woolf’s 1928 novel Orlando, and of Potter’s film of the same name. Through song and dance, the new film will explore Orlando’s 400 year journey, with questions of class, race, sex, Britain’s imperialist history and what it means to be British now. In a departure from the original novel and film, a Black narrator and chorus will operate as a guide for the audience, bringing to light stories that were not told in the book and its adaptation.

The great soldier Orlando is lovesick and shows little intention of resuming his former glorious and heroic deeds. When Orlando enters, he is a man clearly torn between his love of fame and his love for Angelica. "Orlando teaches all of us that love is often responsible for our loss of reason," runs a line from Act 3 of the opera. It is a modest moral, and perhaps one not demanding of the dramatic finesse and musical diversity that Handel serves up in Orlando - for the opera's complex of problems is rather more complicated than that. Beneath the fabric of this masterfully woven constellation of characters and values is a score of such independence and vivacity as to give Orlando a special position among Handel's works - indeed among opera literature in general.

Réné Jacobs reinvents Handel’s Orlando for the 21st century with the help of the young period instrument ensemble B’Rock and a brilliant cast of soloists led by Bejun Mehta as the title hero and Sophie Karthäuser as his adored Angelica.

Originally televised as a pay-per-view New Year's Eve special, this video tracks an emotional performance in the Boys' native state of Florida. Filmed at an arena in Orlando, the five super-studs perform 18 hit songs. As a bonus, each Backstreet Boy sings one solo, showcasing the different vocal styles of these talented singers. Tracks include "That's the Way I Like It," "Hey Mr. DJ," "Just to be Close to You" and more.

An echoing, nocturnal, elliptical text. Female voices speak it. Fragments of music punctuate and suspend the images. The text says the transformation of the hero into a woman during his sleep. Games of inverted masks, transvestites, transparency of the frontiers of the sexes. Self-representations. Black and white visions clouded with magenta and cyan. Fields, positives, negatives, degrees of grey, light textures. A device made up of screens and projectors, still images and moving images, the projection surface multiplied. Water, bare trees, light trails, a gun, tigers.

Vivaldis Orlando Furioso was chosen to open the 43rd Festival della Valle dItria. This baroque opera is a true feast for the senses, with peaks of sheer poetry and a sense of wonder. Director Fabio Ceresa was clearly inspired by the works of Gustav Klimt, both for the setting and the costumes. Conductor and Continuo Diego Fasolis leads the excellent Barocchisti ensemble with an elegant touch, and an unfailing ability to fully convey the musics nuanced coloratura. The production was very well received, with the cast highly praised by audience and critics alike. Sonia Prina proved highly convincing in the title role, both for the quality of her voice and for her outstanding acting skills - a true 'ba-rock star'. Lucia Cirillo (Alcina) was complimented by Bachtrack for her 'flawless coloratura and virtuosity in ornamentation', while Riccardo Novaro (Astolfo) displays a stylish poise and vocal warmth.

Filmed in front of a live audience, this special features the one-and-only Orlando Leyba. An American stand-up comedian, Leyba has a knack for finding humor in just about anything that crosses his path.

Since 1940, my family in Cuba decided to annually represent Orlando Enraged, by Ludovico Ariosto. More than a play, it is a rite of encounter, affirmation and self-inquiry in view of the threat of disintegration and oblivion that hovers over our home and spirit.

In Uruguay, where he lives with his wife and son Thomas, Orlando Vargas suffers from pressure from the government. Permanently watched by a policeman, Orlando seems not to care about danger. He decides to leave with his family to go to Josefina, the last village by the sea before Brazil. There, things move faster: on the day of his arrival, Orlando fails to return home.
