UFC 198: Weidum vs Miocic
Showing Live at 12pm
UFC 198: Werdum vs. Miocic is an upcoming mixed martial arts event that will be held on May 15, 2016 at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil.
It is expected to be headlined by a UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between current champion Fabrício Werdum and top contender Stipe Miocic. They were briefly scheduled to meet at the original UFC 196, as Miocic replaced former two-time champion Cain Velasquez. In turn, Werdum announced on the following day that he was pulling out of the event due to injury as well as he wasn't comfortable with the opponent change while dealing with injuries of his own.
The event will be the first that the promotion has hosted in Curitiba. It will be the fourth stadium venue to host a UFC event after UFC 129 at the Rogers Centre in Canada, UFC on Fox: Gustafsson vs. Johnson at the Tele2 Arena in Sweden and UFC 193 at the Etihad Stadium in Australia.
The event is expected to feature the long anticipated debut of former Strikeforce Women's Featherweight Champion and current Invicta FC Featherweight Champion Cristiane Justino in a catchweight bout of 140 lbs against Leslie Smith.
Watch the fight loud and loud here at 12pm.

Kevin Bloody Wilson
With Support Jenny TaliaBuy Tickets Online
Kevin Bloody Wilson In 'The Second of the Final Farewell Tours… Perhaps!'
The Kevin Bloody Wilson Show is not just a concert performance, for most, it's a full on event and an opportunity to tick from your bucket-list a chance to see Australia's most unique International comedy legend. Kevin has become a national institution – a must see for any person wanting to see absolute original Australian comedy.
If we were asked to nominate one individual to best define Australian humour, for most of us, the name Kevin Bloody Wilson immediately springs to mind. His recently released biography 'DILLIGAF, The Life And Rhymes Of Kevin Bloody Wilson' is a raucous, earthy, in depth look at perhaps one of the only Australian Comedians who has not bowed to the pressures of political correctness.
It's also a known fact that nobody tells Australian stories better than Kevin Bloody Wilson. His peers agree;
"The world's funniest Australian" Billy Connolly
"I love Kev. My favourite is Livin' Next Door To Alan." Paul Hogan
It seems ironic that twenty-five years ago, Kevin Bloody Wilson was being arrested for performing his songs in public, yet on Australia Day in January 2010, he was officially nominated for Australian Of The Year for doing exactly the same thing.
Now, Kev tours often in Australia and internationally, always to large audiences of adoring fans. He maintains his stringent tour schedule because of his love of live shows, and the incredibly interaction he has with the multitude of fanatical Kev fans worldwide.
Well done Kev, you've done us proud.

text: Lacson may have used fake passport: Miriam By Ryan Chua, ABS-CBN News Posted at Mar 30 2011 08:58 PM | Updated as of Mar 31 2011 03:24 PM MANILA, Philippines - Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago suspects her fellow senator, Panfilo Lacson, used a fake passport in moving from one country to another. In a phone interview, Santiago said it would be impossible for Philippine consular authorities to issue him another passport. The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) had canceled Lacson's passport, she explained. "Remember when I was an immigration commissioner? One my first revelations was the Philippines was the fake passport capital of the world," she said. "I would say this is a problem of law enforcement for the bureau," Santiago added. She said Lacson cannot be forced to reveal who his coddlers were "because he has a right against self-incrimination." "Under the Constitution, it would seem that he's the accused, not just a mere witness," she said.

Hello! I'm Claire and I write the English wedding blog - an independent blog for brides and grooms.
The English Wedding Blog is all about creativity: my dream is to curate an online space for couples to get inspired by real weddings, shoots and the latest in wedding design - with a real focus on English and UK weddings and suppliers.
I'm also known for writing calligraphy - for my work with Kirstie Allsopp and because I've worked with hundreds of brides and grooms. Beautiful writing is my passion and I'm happiest with a pen in my hand and ink on my face!
I live on the edge of the English Lake District, a couple of minutes from the seaside. I've lived in France and Italy, I ride a Vespa, I'm a cat person and I love dirty guitar bands, walking in the mountains, and my beach.

The best wedding blogs of the year so far!
Ever wonder what wedding blogs wedding bloggers read? (Sorry if the answer's no and I've twisted your brain with that bizarrely phrased question.) I read a lot of wedding blogs and love reading about unique weddings, discovering new ideas and enjoying great wedding photography.
Guessing that you like all the same things as I do* I try and share my favourite wedding blogs in a weekly or fortnightly round up… although it's been a while! Here are my favourite real weddings, creative ideas and things to buy, advice articles and Pinterest boards for you from the last few weeks' reading. Enjoy!
*except possibly riding motorbikes and climbing mountains… I mean the wedding side of things really!…

Thank you. You lovely, lovely friends out there reading, commenting on and subscribing to English Wedding Blog are why we've made it to the top 10 of the top 100 UK wedding blogs list – again!
English Wedding Blog is the 8th best UK wedding blog!
It goes without saying that if nobody read this, I wouldn't have made the list! So thank you – I'm truly grateful to everyone for reading and sharing my little bit of the interweb.
It's fantastic to see new wedding blogs making the list, the top 3 of course are firmly entrenched in their positions on high (and it's well deserved!) – and the lovely Lou from Whimsical Wonderland Weddings is biting at their heels in 4th place. The boys from Staggered are still in the top ten, now at 5 (hurray for boys!?) and then there are new bloggers appearing too…
Wedding Planning or work?
Whether you've had a glorious week full of sunshine and are itching to go out and play, or have spent the last few days at the drizzly Cumbrian seaside like me, I think it's time to sit back and enjoy a bit of wedding goodness. Forget work – it's time to catch up with the very best from wedding blogs over the last week-and-a-bit!

OAKLAND, CA and LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwired) -- 08/27/14 -- GT Nexus announced today that it will join longtime customer Lenovo on-stage at the Gartner Supply Chain Summit to share best practices and insights on the impact of business networks to obtain supply chain visibility. Mick Jones, Vice President of Supply Chain Strategy & Innovation at Lenovo, will describe Lenovo's use of operational data and visibility technology to enable a proactive, agile supply chain. He will be accompanied Greg Johnsen, Founder and Chief Marketing Officer at GT Nexus.
The Gartner Supply Chain Summit is being held in London September 10-12, 2014.
"End-to-end supply chain visibility continues to exist only as a concept at many companies, as they struggle to define and address this challenge," said Johnsen. "Lenovo has leapt out ahead of the pack by mapping out a clear path for end-to-end visibility that starts with a networked supply chain. Lenovo is a rare example of a company that's not only talking about it, they are actually living and breathing it."
Lenovo is the world's largest PC vendor and fourth largest smartphone company. It is a US$39 billion personal technology company with more than 54,000 employees (including joint ventures) in more than 60 countries serving customers in more than 160 countries. Lenovo has headquarters in Beijing, China and Morrisville, North Carolina, U.S.; and major research and manufacturing centers in countries around the world.

Over 25,000 businesses across industry verticals, including adidas Group, Caterpillar, Citi, Columbia Sportswear, DHL, Electrolux, Levi Strauss & Co., Nestlé, Pfizer, and Sears share GT Nexus as their standard, multi-enterprise collaboration platform.

For example, how are multiple containers within an application impacting each other's performance? If an application's service is degraded, which container is to blame? In the case of an application outage, what was the root cause of the outage?

A US judge has begun deciding the fate of soldier Bradley Manning, who could face life in prison for giving thousands of pieces of classified military and diplomatic information to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks in one of the largest leaks in the country's history.
The prosecution says the 25-year-old is a traitor. His defence lawyers call him a young, naive intelligence officer who wanted people to know about the atrocities of war.
The judge did not say when she would rule, but she will give public notice a day in advance.
Manning faces 21 charges, including the most serious one of aiding the enemy, which carries a potential life sentence in prison.
During closing arguments on Friday (local time), defence attorney David Coombs said Manning was negligent in releasing classified material, but he did not know al Qaeda would see it and did not have "evil intent" - a key point prosecutors must prove to convict Manning of aiding the enemy.
Prosecutors argued that Manning knew the material would be seen around the world, even by Osama bin Laden.
"Worldwide distribution, that was his goal," said the military's lead prosecutor, Major Ashden Fein. "He knew he was giving it to the enemy, specifically al Qaeda."
Manning also faces federal espionage, theft and computer fraud charges. He has acknowledged giving WikiLeaks some 700,000 battlefield reports, diplomatic cables and videos, but he says he didn't believe the information would harm troops in Afghanistan and Iraq or threaten national security.
"The amount of the documents in this case, actually, is the best evidence that he was discreet in what he chose, because if he was indiscriminate, if he was systematically harvesting, we wouldn't be talking about a few hundred thousand documents - we'd be talking about millions of documents," Coombs said.
Giving the material to WikiLeaks was no different than giving it to a newspaper, Coombs said. The government disagreed and said Manning would also be charged if he had leaked the classified material to the media.
Coombs showed three snippets of video from a 2007 US Apache helicopter attack Manning leaked, showing troops firing on a small crowd of men on a Baghdad sidewalk, killing several civilians, including a Reuters news photographer and his driver. Coombs said the loss of civilian lives horrified the young soldier.
"You have to look at that from the point of view of a guy who cared about human life," Coombs said.
Coombs has said Manning wanted to do something to make a difference, and he hoped revealing what was going on in Iraq and Afghanistan and US diplomacy would inspire debate and reform in foreign and military policy.
Coombs also countered one of prosecutor Fein's arguments that attempted to show Manning was seeking fame: A photo Manning took of himself, smiling in front of a mirror while on leave. Fein said it showed a "gleeful, grinning" Manning who was proud to be "on his way to notoriety" he wanted.
Coombs asked the judge to take a closer look at the photo, pointing out that Manning was wearing makeup and a bra.
"What you see is a young man who is cross-dressing," Coombs said as Manning's face tightened slightly.
"Maybe, just maybe ... he is happy to be himself for that moment," Coombs said of Manning's struggle to fit into the military at a time when he was confused about his gender identity and serving openly was illegal for gays.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said on Friday in a telephone press conference that if the aiding the enemy charge is allowed to stand, it will be "the end of national security journalism in the United States".
He accused the Obama administration of a "war on whistleblowers" and a "war on journalism".
Meanwhile, one of Manning's most visible supporters was banned from the trial after the judge said someone posted threats online. Clark Stoeckley confirmed he was the one kicked out. A tweet on Thursday night from an account Stoeckley used said: "I don't know how they sleep at night but I do know where." It was removed on Friday, and Stoeckley told The Associated Press on Twitter he couldn't comment.

Daily Scripture - Thessalonians 5:16-18
Feature: Prayers for Danielle Loftus
In July of 2010, Danielle Loftus was in an accident. She was enjoying the waters of Lake Springfield with her sisters and cousins when the two jet skis they were passengers on, all on collided. Danielle sustained heavy injuries to her head, ribs and right shoulder/collarbone. Danielle lay in a coma with her family and friends surrounding her, praying for her recovery.
Two years after the accident, Danielle is still healing. Her parents keep a journal on Caringbridge.org. This is Danielle's mother Lynell sharing her thoughts about a new medical trial to re-gain brain function:
"...We hesitate to get our hope up too high, and quite honestly, I am still positive that Danielle's healing will come directly from God, instantaneous and complete, but what if God is using these doctors to heal Danielle so that others can also benefit from the knowledge gained, Miracles and healing for more than one? I have always asked God for guidance for our decisions regarding Danielle's care, as we do all that we can to keep her comfortable and healthy while we wait for His perfect timing and healing, and I think He is guiding us in this direction. So, we are moving forward and have continued conversations to get this team of doctors into our home to evaluate Danielle, supervise and administer the healing technology they feel will be for the good of our sweet baby girl. She still needs your prayers and positive energy during this painful and trying time."
Pray for Danielle. Every prayer offered, kindness extended, and loving thought make a difference. Prayer heals, doctors help, and God's will shall be done.
"Be joyful always. Pray continuously. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of the Lord."
Thessalonians 5:16-18

Authorities in Hutchinson are investigating the theft of over $1,200 worth of baby formula. The Cashwise Foods grocery store in Hutchinson was notified that other stores in Buffalo, Delano, and St. Cloud had been the targets of baby formula thefts. When employees in the Hutchinson store checked, they found several cans of Similac formula missing. Surveillance video reportedly showed two suspects, a male and female who, over the course of several visits, made off with a total of 86 cans of the formula. Authorities say the male suspect appears to be the same person involved in the thefts from the other stores. The investigation continues.

An interview with the director of "One Year Lease" and a presentation of the short film.
One of the signs of a great director is his ability to sustain a consistent personal tone throughout a film. The work of certain directors can be recognized almost at once; a few hundred feet of Godard or Fellini are sufficient. Max Ophuls was such a director, and his "Lola Montes" has as much unity of tone as any film I can remember.
It is all of a piece from beginning to end: The mood, the music, the remarkably fluid camera movement, the sets, the costumes. It is a director's film. The actors are in Ophuls' complete control, an additional element in his examination of the romantic myth.
His story involves the infamous Lola Montes, "The Most Scandalous Woman in the World," the mistress of Franz Liszt and King Ludwig of Bavaria, of students and artists, of soldiers and ringmasters. We find her in a New Orleans circus, the star attraction in a review of her sensational career. Peter Ustinov, the ringmaster, narrates her past as Lola revolves on a platform. Later the customers will have their chance to spend a dollar and kiss her hand.
The device of the circus is as successful as it is daring. Using it to supply his narrative thread, Ophuls slides through a series of flashbacks with as much ease, and psychological completeness, as Welles exhibited in "Citizen Kane." The structure of the film is terribly artificial -- flashbacks suspended from a fantasy circus -- and the style itself is a highly mannered romanticism. But it works; Ophuls understands and justifies his method.
He is not so successful, unfortunately, with the performance of the late Martine Carol in the title role. Famous in the 1950s as a sort of prototype Bardot, Carol was a third-rate actress, and she comes across as wooden, shallow, not even very attractive.
Ophuls apparently needed Carol's box-office name to help justify his $1.5 million budget (this was the most expensive French film to date when it was completed in 1955). He tries to make an advantage of her weakness by directing her almost as a doll; her function is to watch impassively while her lovers save her scenes. The best performance in the film is by Anton Walbrook as the deaf, touching old king. Peter Ustinov is typically excellent. Oskar Werner, as a young student, is not much better than ever.
"Lola Montes" was a commercial flop when Ophuls released it in 1955, shortened against his will. He died two years later, still engaged in a battle with the film's producers. An even more savagely butchered version was in circulation for a few years. Through the efforts of the Village Voice's Andrew Sarris and other lovers of the film, a somewhat restored version was shown at the first New York Film Festival in 1963 and in an improved version in 1968. In reviews at the time, Sarris called it "the greatest film of all time."
Now, thanks to the discovery of additional footage and new digital technology, the film finally has been restored to Ophuls' original version, thought lost after the cuts in the 1950s. It showed for the third time at the 2008 New York Film Festival in October. It is now complete and looks better than at any time in its viewing history. In fact, it is breath-taking, an extravaganza of bright circus colors and Ophuls' fluid camera and in wide-screen Cinemascope. It opens today at the Music Box, 3733 N. Southport.
This is a revised and lengthened version of an earlier review. Ophuls' "The Earrings of Madame de..." is in the Great Movies Collection.

A report published by independent, international energy consultancy Xodus Group, and its project partners SMRU Marine, recommends how offshore wind farm operators and regulators can minimize the effects of noise during offshore turbine piling and reduce injury to marine mammals.
The independent review, entitled "Use of Deterrent Devices and Improvements to Standard Mitigation during Piling" was commissioned for Phase 1 of Project 4 of the Offshore Renewables Joint Industry Program (ORJIP). It is the first publication in the ORJIP series to focus on such risks and has been published on the Carbon Trust's ORJIP website.
The potential risk of injury to marine mammals has been identified as a key consenting risk for offshore wind projects in U.K. waters. Possible consequences of exposure to underwater noise from piling include disturbance, temporary hearing damage and permanent physical injury.
The report has collated and analyzed available evidence of the reliability, cost, effectiveness and technical application of acoustic deterrent devices (ADD) and provides recommendations on the use of deterrent devices and improvements to standard mitigations. The report also provides recommendations for further research and a roadmap for the next phase of the project which is to test and potentially develop ADDs for effective prevention of injury to marine mammals.
Michael Fallon, Minister of State, Department of Energy and Climate Change said, "I welcome the publication of this joint industry and Government report. It is essential that all industry stakeholders continue to work together to implement the report's recommendations. This will increase the protection given to marine mammals, help us meet our renewable energy targets and encourage more investment in the offshore wind industry."
Xodus delivers offshore engineering and technical, commercial, safety and environmental services, and this integrated expertise was of benefit to the ORJIP Project 4. To ensure the project balanced the broad range of considerations, and to enable a collaborative approach by industry stakeholders in the decision making process, a formalized decision making process has been adopted, using the Group's Value, Decision and Risk Management (VDRM) process and software. It allows rigorous, quick, transparent and unbiased assessment of different options and is ideally suited to complex projects with multiple stakeholders.
Alex Herschel, Principal Environmental Consultant with Xodus said, "An independent review such as this provides the ideal foundation to fulfill the aim of the project, which is to achieve an effective, practical, safe, and cost-effective method for ensuring that marine mammals are not injured during offshore piling activity. Compromises may need to be made; however, any improvements to current guidelines, no matter how incremental, have the potential to ultimately make a material difference to the industry."
"Increasing our current understanding of issues such as species specificity, the potential for habituation and the risk of additional injury or disturbance due to sound from the deterrent devices, have been recommended as fundamental aspects of Project 4 Phase 2."
Carol Sparling, Principal Scientist with SMRU Marine added, "As a team, we have enjoyed developing this study to progress the improvement of mitigation options as offshore wind development scales up over the coming years. This report pulls together current evidence and knowledge, as well as identifying where gaps exist. We have enjoyed working with Xodus and the various stakeholder groups, and we look forward to helping take the recommendations forward with the offshore wind industry."

Lucia di Lammermoor in Marseille
A handsome new production, beautifully staged in Marseille's fine old opera house cried out for a cast to make the opera bel canto.
Published in 1855 as an entertainment for his two daughters, William Makepeace Thackeray's The Rose and the Ring is a burlesque fairy-tale whose plot — to the author's wilful delight, perhaps — defies summation and elucidation.
What more fitting memorial for composer Peter Maxwell Davies (d. 03/14/2016) than a splendid performance of The Lighthouse, the third of his eight works for the stage.
I suspect that many of those at the Wigmore Hall for The King's Consort's performance of the La Senna festeggiante (The Rejoicing Seine) were lured by the cachet of 'Antonio Vivaldi' and further enticed by the notion of a lover's serenade at which the generic term 'serenata' seems to hint.
Having enjoyed superb singing by a young cast of soloists in Classical Opera's UK premiere of Jommelli's Il Vogoleso the previous evening, I was delighted that the 2016 Kathleen Ferrier Awards Final at the Wigmore Hall confirmed the strength and depth of talent possessed by the young singers studying in and emerging from our academies and conservatoires.
On February 7, 1786, Emperor Joseph II of Austria had brand new one-act operas by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri performed in the Schönbrunn Palace's Orangery.
Those poor opera lovers in Cologne have a never ending problem with the city's opera house. Together with the rest of city, the construction of the new opera house is mired in political incompetence.
London remains starved of Wagner. This season, its major companies offer but two works, Tannhäuser from the Royal Opera and Tristan from ENO.
Dmitry Bertman's hilarious staging of Rimsky-Korsakov's political sex-comedy The Golden Cockerel in Düsseldorf.
On April 16, 2016, San Diego Opera presented Giacomo Puccini's sixth opera, Madama Butterfly, in an intriguing production by Garnett Bruce. Roberto Oswald's scenery included the usual Japanese styled house with many sliding doors and walls. On either side, however, were blooming cherry trees with rough trunks and gnarled branches that looked as though they had been growing on the property for a hundred years.
New Co-Production Tristan und Isolde with Metropolitan: Simon Rattle and Westbroek electrify Treliński's Opera-Noir.
In an operatic world crowded with sure-fire bread and butter repertoire, Opera San Jose has boldly chosen to lavish a new production on a dark horse, Andre Previn's A Streetcar Named Desire.
Choral symphony, oratorio, symphonic poem — Berlioz's Roméo et Juliette does not fit into any mould. It has the potential to work as an opera-ballet, but incoherent storytelling and uninspired conducting undermined this production.
When Kasper Holten took the precaution of pre-warning ticket-holders that the Royal Opera House's new production of Lucia di Lammermoor featured scene portraying 'sexual acts' and 'violence', one assumed that he was aiming to avert a re-run of the jeering and hectoring that accompanied last season's Guillaume Tell. He even went so far as to offer concerned patrons a refund.
These are five very different reviews by students at the University of Maryland on its Opera Studio production of Regina — an interesting, informative and entertaining read . . .
'Remember me, the one who is Pia;/ Siena made me, Maremma undid me.' The speaker is Pia de' Tolomei. She appears in a brief episode of Dante's Divine Comedy (Purgatorio V, 130-136) which was the source for Gaetano Donizetti's Pia de' Tolomei - by way of Bartolomeo Sestini's verse-novella of 1825.
"The large measure of formalism which forms the basis of De Materie does not in itself offer any guarantee that the work will be beautiful," says Dutch composer Louis Andriessen of his four-movement opera.
On April 1, 2016, Arizona Opera presented Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) and Arrigo Boito (1842-1918) in Phoenix. Although Boito based most of his libretto on Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor, he used material from Henry IV as well. Verdi wrote the music when he was close to the age of eighty. He was concerned about his ability at that advanced age, but he was immensely pleased with Boito's text and decided to compose his second comedy, despite the fact that his first, Un giorno di regno, had not been successful.
The brand new SF Opera Lab opened last month with artist William Kentridge's staged Schubert Winterreise. Its second production just now, Svadba-Wedding — an a cappella opera for six female voices — unabashedly exposes the space in a different, non-theatrical configuration.
One may think of Tosca as the most Roman of all operas, after all it has been performed at the Teatro Costanzi (Rome's opera house) well over a thousand times since 1900. Though equally, maybe even more Roman is Hector Berlioz' Benvenuto Cellini that has had only a dozen or so performances in Rome since 1838.
Roll up! A new opera by Handel is to be performed, L'Elpidia overo li rivali generosi. It is based upon a libretto by Apostolo Zeno with music by Leonardo Vinci - excepting a couple of arias by Giuseppe Orlandini and, additionally, two from Antonio Lotti's Teofane (which the star bass, Giuseppe Maria Boschi , on bringing with him from the Dresden production of 1719).
A handsome new production, beautifully staged in Marseille's fine old opera house cried out for a cast to make the opera bel canto.
Not that there was not some good singing, namely Czech soprano Zuzana Markova as Lucia. Originally the Lucia of the relief cast (taking two of the six performances) this beautiful young singer was advanced into the primary cast when illness forced the first Lucia to cancel. Of secure technique, solid musicianship and a voice in its youthful bloom Mlle. Markova did hold the stage the entire evening, lacking only a diva presence to achieve a convincing bel canto performance. This talented young artist is in dire need of coaching — not only how a real diva artist might act this demanding role but also how a real diva might act.
Certainly Mlle. Markova was not in a position to pull diva antics, like refusing to wear the costumes designed for Lucia by Opéra de Marseille house designer Katia Duflot. A bona fide diva would know that if the audience was baffled by the gravity defying design of her bare shoulder red gown, it was probably not paying attention to her performance. Never mind that the red gown did not finally reveal a topless Mlle. Markova, the bare shoulder white gown of the wedding scene all but revealed everything. Mlle. Markova's lovely young breasts simply upstaged her beautiful young voice.

On the other hand Lucia's brother Enrico sung by French baritone Marc Barrard was visually choked by the high collar Mme. Duflot engineered for his first act costume. Our sympathy for his strangled sound was however unfounded as his later costume with unbuttoned shirt allowed plenty of breathing room. We discovered that his voice is unfocused and sounds very worn, or perhaps making a bel canto sound is simply foreign to his voice. If the program booklet biography is at all complete this role may have been his first venture into this repertory.
Giuseppe Gipali was the Edgardo. This Albanian tenor turned bel canto into can belto in vocal tones and shapes that were stylistically appropriate if monochromatic and unvaryingly forte. Mr. Gipali is not an affecting performer, his eyes never on the person (Lucia) he was singing to, instead his face was always outward, performing directly to the audience. His final scene — his suicide — was in fact splendidly sung, lacking any hint of sincerity of emotion that could bring this famous opera to its hyper-Romantic conclusion.
And finally Polish bass Wojtek Smilek was Raimondo, the Calvinist priest. Mr. Smilek is an important local resource, frequently appearing in Marseille, nearby cities and in Paris. He sings just about every smaller principal bass role you can think of. Unfortunately Raimondo is a big role, with lots of exposed singing. While Mr. Smilek is a fine singer he does not have the warmth of tone required for basso cantante roles nor the smoothness of line that can make him a lyric bass.
Lucia di Lammermoor is a numbers opera, one big aria or duet after another, embellished by chorus interjections that change circumstances to motivate even more beautiful singing — there is simply a huge amount of a very particular style of solo singing. This opera must be carefully cast. It was not.
The Sextet. Photo by Christian Dresse
The pit was overseen by French conductor Alain Guingal who responsibly sustained the proceedings but supplied no stylistic flourish to make this evening musically vibrant. While the big harp obligato in the first act was magnificently played the flute duet with Lucia's mad scene was rendered with contours and colors that went too far beyond those offered by Mlle. Markova.
The new production was staged by French theater director Fréderic Bélier-Garcia. He is the absolute master of staging operas that are strings of numbers, finding natural seeming motion for his singers while they perform lengthy arias about how they feel. Here he exploited a new trick by sometimes taking his singers to the extreme sides of the stage to stand against the wide soft black false proscenium, removing the singer from all scenic context. With absolutely glorious lighting by designer Roberto Venturi the singers were suddenly stripped of everything except voice and artistry —what greater effect could be created for the supreme moments of bel canto opera!
The physical production was designed by Jacques Gabel, a frequent collaborator of Mr. Bélier-Garcia. The design was minimal, two scrims on which various forest shapes were projected, a platform that was sometime a ramp and sometime a pier, like on a lake, and (of course) a chandelier. The sensuous stained glass Jesus figure on a panel flown in for the Enrico/Edgardo meeting is hard to explain, as are the brilliant northern light colors that embellished the scrims from time to time. But not as hard to explain as the costumes described above that just did not seem to belong in a drafty old Scottish castle.
