Morning Mirror Smalls 316 - 8/1/2009

NOTICES


Performing Arts and the Zimbabwe Academy of Music

Thursday 15 January _ Lunchtime Talk: Ceremony
Room 25 at 1.10 p.m. The first in the new series of Peter Rollason's lunchtime talks.

Friday 16 January _ Tchaikovsky: The Sleeping Beauty
Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. There will be a supper interval. Finish: 10.00 p.m. A repeat showing by popular demand(!) of Tchaikovsky' s famous ballet in a sumptuous production by Marina Gielgud for the Australian Ballet Company with Christine Walsh as Aurora and David Ashmole as Prince Florimund.

Thursday 22 January _ What is a Symphony?
Room 25 at 1.10 p.m. The first in a series of lunchtime talks in which Michael Bullivant will trace the development of the symphony from its modest beginnings in eighteenth century Italy to its growth into the highest form of instrumental music in the hands of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven and on through the nineteenth century.

Friday 23 January _ Verdi: Il Trovatore
Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. There will be a supper interval. Finish: 10.15 p.m. "Domingo joined the production only at the last moment and so ensured that this 1978 Trovatore was ideally cast with Karajan returning to the Vienna State Opera to conduct an undoubtedly great performance. How lucky we are that the cameras were there and that the staging was traditional, with no silly quirks, indeed nothing to mar an evening of glorious singing, with Piero Cappuccilli in first-class voice as de Luna matching his troubadour adversary. As for Florenza Cossotto's Azucena, it is surely unsurpassable in our own time whilst Raina Kabaivanska [seen as Tosca in September!] is dramatically very convincing as Leonora and José van Damm is there too to sing one of Verdi's very finest arias at the opening of the opera." [The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music - top recommendation]

Monday 26 January _ Orchestra! - 1: Introduction and Upper Strings
Robert Sibson Hall at 5.15 p.m. Dudley Moore joins Sir Georg Solti in the BBC series dubbed "the essential guide to the symphony orchestra". Each family of instruments is introduced and demonstrated by an outstanding orchestra of young musicians whilst later programmes feature the piano and the conductor. Part 2 (woodwind and lower strings) is on 9 February, thereafter 23 February (brass and percussion), 9 March (the piano) and 23 March (the conductor) - all at 5.15.

Thursday 29 January _ Lunchtime Talk: Round the World [Peter Rollason]
Room 25 at 1.10 p.m.

Friday 30 January _ Planet Earth - The Future
Robert Sibson Hall at 4.00 p.m. "Into the Wilderness" and "Living Together" are the last two programmes in this outstanding series.

Thursday 5 February _ What is a Symphony?
Room 25 at 1.10 p.m. The second in a series of lunchtime talks in which Michael Bullivant traces the development of the symphony.

Friday 6 February _ A Midsummer Night's Dream
in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m. There will be a supper interval. Finish: 10.00 p.m. Balanchine's classic ballet A Midsummer Night's Dream to music by Mendelssohn who was born 200 years ago on 3 November 1809 is "the summery counterpart to the Christmassy Nutcracker". Alexandra Ferri (Juliet in Romeo and Juliet last August) dances Titania in a production recorded at La Scala, Milan in February 2007.

TROPICA NURSERY
4 Gibbs Road
Glencoe - Tel: 288873

Having had a more than trying year we thought we might just ease ourselves into 2009 without any further calamities. However, on 30 Dec one of our Tropica employees became seriously ill and has to have a blood transfusion. He needs four units of blood and each unit costs $US130.

In order to raise the money to pay for the transfusion we have taken out our very biggest and best plants for sale.

We have beautiful Bamboo and Cataractum palms and have found a large Cycas Revoluta. The nursery is open during normal working hours but you are more than welcome to phone at any time and we will be only too happy to open up the gates.

I would also like to take this opportunity to wish all our customers, friends and aquaintances a very Happy New Year and may 2009 be good to you. May you always be in a position to donate blood and not have to receive any!
With good wishes
