« La Traviata », Royal Opera House - London

By "LondonNet".
The October 11, 2011.

Abstract : Presents Opera Room international in London, in England.


Extract : " La Traviata - the touching story of the self-sacrificing courtesan of the title - has long been one of the most consistently loved of all operas across the world. Verdi's music is instantly appealing, with a wealth of famous melodies that allow operatic voices to soar and thrill. The traditional style of Richard Eyre's production for The Royal Opera in Bob Crowley's period designs has made this particular staging acclaimed and popular every time it returns. It is an opera that sweeps everyone along from the lively opening party and the instantly recognizable and tuneful toast to indulgence, through dramatic confrontations both private and public, and to the most heart-rending of tragic endings. "

Aux Armes, Les Cityonnes!

ð  BROWNE, Matt. Aux Armes, Les Cityonnes!  Huffington Post, 10/10/2011

ð  Abstract :

Presents the results of the first-ever presidential primary of French Socialist Party

ð  Extract:

“For the moment, Montebourg is playing his cards close to his chest. But, if the atmosphere of the second round candidates' post-vote parties on Sunday evening are anything to go by, Francois Hollande needs to do something to change the tone of the race. At the Maison de l'Amerique Latine, his supporters were very subdued. They had expected or at least hoped for a more convincing result in the first round. On the banks of the Rive Gauche, where Aubry's supporters met on a bateau-mouche, the chants of "Martine, Presidente" rang out with conviction. One senses the political momentum is with her.”

After a dramatic redesign by David Collins, The Belvedere has been re-launched to much acclaim and now offers superb cuisine in a unique location."
