Trionfo in Giappone dell'Aida prodotta dallo Sferisterio Opera Festival di Macerata con la regia di Gasparon

Trionfo in Giappone dell’Aida prodotta dallo Sferisterio Opera Festival di Macerata nel 2006 con la regia le scene e i costumi di Massimo Gasparon, in programma nel più prestigioso teatro giapponese, il Bunka Kaikan di Tokyo, da mercoledì 28 ottobre. La tournée iniziata il 23 ottobre scorso tocca 15 città giapponesi con 18 recite in 15 città diverse.
La sera del 28 ottobre a Tokyo andrà in scena la quinta recita della tournèe dell’Opera di Stato di Praga e dell’allestimento di Aida dello Sferisterio Opera Festival 2006, regia scene e costumi di Massimo Gasparon. Dopo avere debuttato in Giappone il 23 ottobre scorso, saranno date 4 recite nello storico teatro Bunka Kaikan di Tokyo, il più prestigioso teatro d’opera giapponese che ha visto esibirsi tutti i grandi nomi della lirica mondiale. La tournée iniziata il 23 ottobre scorso tocca 15 città giapponesi con 18 recite: Tokyo, Fuchu, Omyia, Yokosuka, Musashino, Toyama, Ina, Sasebo, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Mito, Obihiro, Sapporo e Nerima.
Il cast di Aida comprende Michelle Crider, Mario Malagnini e Jolana Fogasova oltre al coro, al corpo di ballo ed all’orchestra dell’opera di Praga. La direzione è affidata ad una emergente ma già famosa direttrice d’orchestra giapponese, Tanomi Nishimoto.
Verranno date altre 13 recite in tutto il Giappone, con un grande seguito di critica e di pubblico. Registrato già il tutto esaurito nelle quattro recite precedenti, si prospetta un grande evento, alla stregua della recente tournée del Teatro alla Scala proprio con il titolo di Aida.
Sono stati tributati allo spettacolo più di venti minuti di applausi in ogni recita e lo spettacolo di Macerata, approntato per l’occasione in una forma più snella pur conservando tutte le caratteristiche della versione originale, ha incuriosito ed interessato il pubblico e la critica giapponese, poiché è stato integralmente tradotto anche il saggio sulla concezione iniziatica dello spettacolo, decisamente una novità per il panorama lirico giapponese.
Tra gli altri artisti impegnati (più di 3 cast diversi) nella tournèe figurano anche Dimitra Theodossiou, che ha appena debuttato il ruolo a Firenze e che si prospetta come una della prossime grandi interpreti del ruolo di Aida, e Anda Louise Bogza, soprano che ha cantato Tosca all’Arena di Verona nel 2009 e già con Zubin Metha al Maggio Musicale Fiorentino.
Dopo Turandot, Aida e Tosca in Corea, la presenza dello Sferisterio Opera Festival in Oriente comincia la sua avventura giapponese e certamente sarà l’inizio di prospettive entusiasmanti, sulla scia di Padre Matteo Ricci cui sarà dedicata la Stagione 2010 dello Sferisterio, e che avrà un’anteprima a partire da giovedì 29 ottobre con una mostra dedicata al gesuita maceratese, nel Braccio di Carlo Magno in Vaticano a Roma, allestita da Pier Luigi Pizzi.

New Book About Cleveland Sports Misery Now Available as World Series Begins with Cliff Lee Facing C.C. Sabathia
New Book About Cleveland Sports Misery Now Available as World Series Begins with Cliff Lee Facing C.C. Sabathia
Nerd Nite Host Matt Wasowski Pens Collection of Personal Essays Chronicling How One's Life Can Be Completely Influenced by Sports, Particularly Cleveland Sports
BROOKLYN, N.Y., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- As Cleveland sports fans sulk after another loss by the Browns and brace themselves to watch former Indians C.C. Sabathia and Cliff Lee face each other in Game One of the World Series, one such fan has written a book describing Cleveland's frustrations. "It's Okay to Like Sports: How Women, Artists, and Intellectuals Can Find Cultural Value in Athletics," by Matt Wasowski, released this summer, is a collection of introspective, poignant, and humorous personal essays that closely examine how nearly every aspect of his everyday life is affected by his love of Cleveland sports.
"Wasowski is a passionate fan who readily and charmingly conveys the pleasures and pitfalls of sports addiction!" says Jonathan Ames, author of "The Double Life is Twice as Good."
Wasowski, 34, is the host of critically acclaimed Nerd Nite presentation series in New York. After growing up in sports-crazed Cleveland, Wasowski now lives in Brooklyn and wrote this book as a response to what he sees as the predominantly negative connotation that sports has in many of New York's social and cultural circles.
From how he converses with friends, thinks about parenthood, or monitors his personal finances, Wasowski reveals his deepest insecurities and darkest secrets while never losing sight of the fact that Cleveland sports have contributed significantly to his entire being -- even giving him a loser's mentality.
For example, in his essay, "Mind Games," Wasowski writes, "Being a displaced Clevelander for the last 15 years has granted me a perspective about my hometown I was never able to possess while living there. Now I know that while growing up I was immersed in a city that suffers from a loser's mentality -- I was just too close to the people and the city to realize it at the time. I still love Cleveland, I loved growing up there, I love visiting there, and I can't imagine life without Northeast Ohio. However, though I'm now a transplanted New Yorker, I too suffer from a loser's mentality, and I can't help but attribute it to my homeland."
Now that the Phillies and Yankees will trot out former Cleveland Cy Young award winners, Wasowski's frustration -- like that of his Cleveland peers -- only grows. While Red Sox fans bemoaned that their team hadn't won a World Series since 1918, their Celtics and Patriots won multiple championships. And as Cubs fans whine about no celebrations since 1908, they still witnessed numerous glories of Chicago's mighty Bulls and Bears. Yet Cleveland fans haven't celebrated a championship in any major sport since 1964.
The book is currently available in paperback and for the Kindle at amazon.com and will be available shortly at bn.com.
