The Flying Dutchman is the perfect opera with which to approach the operatic mountain that is Richard Wagner. It is short, has a great story (the legend of the Dutch captain doomed to sail forever unless redeemed through love), and the striking score has many pre-echoes of Wagner's later great music dramas. It contains wonderful tunes in its arias, ensembles, and big choruses, and the orchestral writing - from the gale that blows out of the Overture to the final theme of "Redemption through Love" - will "blow you away".

Of the many living musical icons from the tempestuous 60s, Eric Clapton is perhaps the most enduring and talented.

She discusses how her career began and some of her first hits.

Festeggiamo i cinque anni di "Poème électronique", la rassegna di poesia e musica elettronica che dal 2016 si svolge a Genova e Roma, a cura di Ksenja Laginja e Stefano Bertoli. "Poème électronique" è un brano musicale di 8 minuti del compositore Edgard Varèse, scritto per il Philips Pavilion alla Fiera mondiale di Bruxelles del 1958. Noi di "Poème" ci siamo ispirati a questa storia, e abbiamo creato un luogo dove la parola incontra la sperimentazione musicale, in un connubio di vibrazioni vocali e strumentali.

Il Trovatore has been ruthlessly parodied. It is a tale of murder and mayhem, burned babies, roasted hags, would-be nuns, strolling minstrels, and bad baritones. And indeed the libretto does call for a willing suspension of disbelief. The reward is in the music, a score as prodigally melodic as only the mature Verdi could write: the "Anvil" chorus, the "Miserere" scene, two great tenor arias, a beautiful baritone aria - a richness without embarrassment.
