Opera Notorious (11-25-1910)
2009-11-25 07:01:00 Today we think of opera as staid, civilized, and old-fashioned. That wasn't the reaction of Chicago 99 years ago, the day "Salome" hit town. In the Christian Bible, Salome is the teenage step-daughter King Herod Antipas. The king has imprisoned John the Baptist. Then Herod has a birthday party. Salome dances for the guests, and Herod offers her anything she wants. Salome asks for John's head on a platter. Against his better judgment, Herod has the prophet executed, and gives Salome her trophy. A play based on the Salome story was written by Oscar Wilde in 1891. Richard Strauss, the "bold, bad man" of German music, took Wilde's play and transformed it into an opera. Strauss's work premiered...
A Little of My Past at the Paris Opera Ballet School
2009-11-15 23:13:00 Excerpt from the documentary, Etoiles, about the Paris Opera Ballet School. Notice me around 5:30, 6:18, and 6:53!So for my last blog I wanted to let everyone know about the ballet classes I teach throughout the city, but I, too, had to start somewhere. I grew up in France and didn't have what would be considered, I suppose, the average childhood. I started dancing when I was 3 after my mom decided she could keep both me and my sister occupied in dance classes. My official step toward my professional path, though, started when I entered the Paris Opera Ballet School in 1991 when I was 11. With this decision I chose to make a long term sacrifice, chose to...

4 Reasons Why Opera Unite Has Got Things Wrong
2009-06-18 06:34:00 I have been an avid Opera user for almost 8- months now. I also feel that the widgets that they have are slightly better than the Firefox add ons (but that is debatable and subjective). In fact amongst Firefox, Chrome and Opera I probably like Opera the most, purely because of them being an prime innovation ground. Tabs, mouse gestures, even the wand tool is better than the other password managers - and all these are Opera innovations that you now see on most browsers. So when Opera launched the alpha release of Opera Unite, especially with the buzz that they created with the “on 16th The Web Will be Reinvented” campaign, they got me really excited. And true to their word they have taken the dimensions of a web browser to a whole new level in terms of the features on hand. However, there are a few reasons I don’t think these features make them any better than a regular browser. These are: No Support for PHP Browser as a Web Server - W00t! No PHP support though, s...

Opera Unite Review: The Reinvention Of Web - Your Own Server In A Browser
2009-06-17 05:42:00 Some odd four months ago, still in college, I was looking for some cheap yet dedicated web hosting solutions for my photoblog. Cheap; yet dedicated? Sounds like a dream world right. But apparently it was possible. Some techie friends of mine came to the rescue, and the solution is so stupidly simple that it never entered my head. Here’s how it can work: You have a connection that lets you download and upload stuff to internet. So instead of just browsing, you can use your own computer to host content / websites directly from your own computer, making it the server. Presto! You have your own locally hosted web site. Sounds really simple no, so why isn’t everyone doing this? Why pay for hosting solutions? Not everyone knows how to. Lack of bandwidth is a major obstacle because most popular websites need a lot of bandwidth which not every home connection can handle. You will need a powerful computer to handle data requests from your visitors. And also protect your back end data f...

Napolitano: lo stupro ad opera di stranieri o italiani non fa differenza
2009-03-07 15:00:00 Napolitano: lo stupro ad opera di stranieri o italiani non fa differenza a cura di Iannozzi Giuseppe Stamane nel corso della cerimonia al Quirinale Napolitano ha premiato otto donne che per i loro meriti si sono distinte in Italia. E in occasione della festa dell'8 marzo Napolitano ha avuto severe e giuste parole contro la violenza sulle donne. "Lo stupro è l'ombra più pesante sulla lotta della donna per la piena parità, la vergogna, l'infamia" come "tutte le forme di molestia, di vessazione, di persecuzione nei confronti delle donne. Nel mondo come in Italia, in una parte del mondo in modi orribili, barbarici, in Italia verso donne italiane o straniere non fa differenza, ad opera di stranieri o italiani non fa differenza. Nel nostro paese possiamo dire che si stanno facendo dei passi avanti nel reagire a ogni sorta di violenza contro le donne e ad ogni sorta di pratiche lesive della loro dignità. Passi avanti sul piano della presa ...

Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road: soap opera spacciata per capolavoro
2009-01-21 12:50:00 Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road Soap opera spacciata per capolavoro di Iannozzi Giuseppe Richard Yates torna in libreria, per l’ennesima volta, con una copertina diversa e ad un prezzo decisamente significativo, 18 Euro. Revolutionary Road di Richard Yates fu pubblicato assai di recente dai tipi Minimum Fax, nel novembre del 2003, nella collana Minimum classics: costava 11,50 Euro. Oggi il romanzo viene riproposto nella collana I Quindici, sempre da Minimum Fax: l’occasione, più che mai commerciale, è quella di sbolognare il libro a quanti andranno al cinema a vedere il film Revolutionary Road di Sam Mendes (già regista di American beauty, Era mio padre, Jarhead) con Leoanardo Di Caprio protagonista. Di Caprio, reduce da alcune pellicole che non gli hanno portato granché fortuna, prova oggi a farsi amare ancora da pubblico e critica proprio come un tempo, quando molto più giovane colava a picco insieme al Titan...
