many respects the last full-throttle
Dario Argento film to date,
pushes his stylistic tendencies into overdrive right from the opening Steadicam shots through an opera house from the point of view of a temperamental diva. As melancholy and vibrant as a fond farewell to the '80s should be, the storyline encapsulates many of the successful elements from Argento's previous films while packaging them in a disturbing, sexually twisted package laced with some unforgettable murder sequences. Who could ask for anything more?
After an unfortunate car accident makes a career casualty of opera star Mara Cecova, young understudy Betty (Marsillach) is pressed into service as the new lead by her director, Marc (Ian Charleson), a horror movie pro trying to move upscale. Betty's agent, Myra (Nicolodi), feels nothing but enthusiasm for her young star in the making, and indeed Betty's debut turns into a smash success. Unfortunately an usher is murdered in one of the theater boxes during the performance, indicating that one of Betty's new fans may have homicidal tendencies. Inspector Santini (Barberini) investigates the mysterious goings on, while Betty's celebratory but unsuccessful opening night tryst with the stage manager (McNamara) turns nasty when the killer arrives and performs gruesome acts while pinning Betty's eyes open with taped needles. Terrified and confused, Betty plunges into a disoriented state in which she acts as the pawn of a devious mind with violent ties to Betty's past.
Many of
's highlights have already passed into gorehound legend, including a jaw-dropping slow motion bullet sequence that cannot be adequately described in words. As with most of Argento's other films,
is also a treat to watch as his camera performs ungodly acrobatics: swirling up staircases, thumping along with the killer's palpitating heartbeat, and swooping through the opera house itself from the point of view of a raven. Most complaints about the film center on its bizarre,
appropriately overheated ending, a daffy riff on
Red Dragon
that begins with a tongue-in-cheek homage to
and winds up on a disturbingly ambiguous note. The preceding climax is actually more difficult to justify, as it features more logic loopholes than the rest of Argento's
combined. The soundtrack is equally daring and likely to turn off inexperienced viewers as it weaves back and forth from Claudio Simonetti's haunting, Goblin-style music to lashings of heavy metal and classical opera. Beautiful, shocking, frustrating, and thoroughly entertaining,
has only become more fascinating with time and easily deserves a spot as one of Argento's most revealing and accomplished efforts.
The video history of
one of the most tangled and confusing in the director's career so far. Some necessary spoilers from the film have been included here for clarification, so anyone who has not seen the film would be well advised to skip down to the next paragraph. And now, let's proceed. The film was originally released in Italian theaters for Christmas, but the changing
attitudes of the public
meant that its graphic violence and
adults-only rating kept most of the
target audience away. Almost all of the gory highlights were quickly removed, and it was reissued soon after with that same butchered cut marking its video debut on Italian VHS. Missing were most of McNamara's death, the scissor tracheotomy performed on
Demons 2
's Coralina Cataldi Tassoni, and the raven eyeball swallowing. Meanwhile the film's original English dub was greeted with laughter by
exhibitors, so Barberini's original fey dubbed voice was re-looped, though alas this left much of his climactic monologue difficult to decipher. Orion picked up international distribution of the film and changed the title to
Terror at the Opera
, allowing frustrated Argento fans to finally see the forbidden gore courtesy of RCA/Columbia's gorgeous full frame laserdisc. Alas, this version was
also heavily compromised as Orion, planning an American
theatrical release, removed several expository passages (the perfume pouring into the sink, several linking bits of footage and dialogue, the scene between Charleson and his girlfriend, and the entire "happy/crazy" epilogue with Betty shuffling through the grass, to name
but a few). The first full, uncut version of
(under the revised title) was released on VHS in the US in an unrated edition from Southgate; in fact, apart from those unlucky few who checked out the slightly edited R-rated cut at Blockbuster Video
(remember them?).
Now here's
where things get complicated.
was filmed in Super 35, so the aspect ratio has varied wildly on both the big and small screens. Orion's intended theatrical edition was struck in the 1.85:1 aspect ratio, which exposed a huge amount of dead space and distracting details at the top and bottom of the frame, such as Marsillach's underwear throughout her bed scene with McNamara. The same version was used for the mildly cropped Japanese laserdisc, and the Italian DVD release from Cecchi Gori (which looks
nice but has no English subtitles, alas) is also from this "opened up" 1.85:1 edition.
However, a bootleg tape of the first English dub has circulated for years in Argento's preferred 2.35:1 aspect ratio, and the
director himself has exhibited the film this way at several public appearances. The "scope" version is a markedly different experience and really feels more like an Argento film. The opera sequences in particular benefit from the tighter framing; just check out the shrouded figures immediately before the "raven attack" sequence, or the rectangular stage framing during Betty's first stage appearance.
Anchor Bay's DVD edition, later reissued verbatim from Blue Underground,
contains the second, revised English dub, letterboxed at 2.35:1
version. Despite the THX certification, the image is far too bright during normal playback. However, viewers with a "black enhance"
control on their DVD player or a good grasp of the contrast and brightness controls on their TV can tweak the image to make it more watchable, though the colors are also on the yellow and desaturated side. The DD and DTS-ES audio mixes actually sound pretty much the same as the theatrical surround version; rear
channel activity is surprisingly sparse given the aggressive nature of the film, offering mostly ambient support and some musical carryover during the louder passages, along with the expected squawk or two from the ravens.
(Note that the first pressing was defective, but replacements were made available directly from the company.)
The imaginatively designed menus lead to some eye-popping (ahem) extras, beginning with the mediocre European trailer (in 2.35:1) and Orion's excellent, striking trailer for the scrapped U.S.
release (at 1.85:1). Oddly, Southgate's marvelously well-edited video trailer is not included. The disc also contains a very good 36-minute documentary, "Conducting
," featuring on-camera interviews with Argento, Nicolodi, cinematographer Ronnie Taylor, Simonetti, and a particularly good Barberini, whose appealing English-speaking voice would have been much better suited for his role than either of the dubbed options. All of the participants have notable things to say about the production and offer candid observations about the difficulties behind the scenes, including the tempestuous behavior of a noticeably absent Marsillach. Interestingly, no one mentions another actress problem; according to Argento expert Alan Jones, Vanessa Redgrave
reportedly backed out of playing Cecova at the last minute, leaving a voice over and subjective camera to play her role instead. The documentary also includes the Argento/Taylor car commercial filmed prior to
, which had previously been available only on PAL VHS video.
Anchor Bay's limited edition of 30,000 units offers a double-disc set of
with the CD soundtrack. The second disc incorporates the complete Simonetti score (previously available only on vinyl from Cinevox) as well as the two heavy metal songs by Steel Grave. However, the opera selections from the original album have
been dropped in favor of the Daemonia "Opera" theme remix (also featured as a music video on the first disc), accompanied by the
Daemonia cue from their earlier albums
and Simonetti's overused "I'll Take the Night" song from
The Versace Murders
. An earlier CD from Cinevox containing the Brian Eno cues and other musical odds and ends was once the standard out there but, in more recent years, has become quite a bit more scarce in favor of multiple editions of the Simonetti score.
A fascinating pair of alternate audio versions of
can be heard
on the UK DVD release from Arrow
, which has only marginal text extras but is nevertheless an essential part of any Argento digital library. Featuring equally flat image quality and similar scope framing (16:9) to the Anchor Bay
presentation, the DVD contains the original dub track with Barberini's prissier voice, which fits far more organically into the soundtrack. Note that the music mix is also slightly different, featuring yet
variation on the radio music during the first eye-taping scene. Best of all, the DVD contains the original Italian audio in a very robust surround presentation which even outclasses the Italian DVD. The front and rear speakers are the most active of any available mix, and the disc also includes optional English subtitles, making this the first legitimate subtitled edition of the film's most satisfying aural rendition. Completists
will also note that only the Italian version concludes with a
narrator relating most of Betty's pro-nature speech at the end, though it's still translated in the first person for some reason. (The subtitles appear to be translated from the Italian track, not transcribed from the English one.) Several passages of music in the Italian version are nonexistent in both English ones; for example, during Ian Charleson's bedroom conversation with his girlfriend in which they read the early newspaper reviews, Simonetti's "Crows" can be heard playing on the radio in the background, and Betty's stroll through several hallways of red curtains after the air duct sequence and Ian Charleson's
reverie are accompanied quite audibly by Simonetti's "Confusion." In the English version, both scenes are severely muted down in the sound mix. Also in the Italian version, an ironic song gurgles on the radio during
Betty's first needle experience, though here the only music during the scene is a barely audible Brian Eno piece. For PAL-friendly viewers, the UK disc offers an invaluable opportunity to evaluate Argento's masterpiece in two different incarnations, both effective and worthy of enjoyment on their own terms. (Note that the packaging advertises the film under its
Terror at the Opera
title, an alteration also made to the otherwise intact Italian opening credits.)
After that the film managed to sit out the entire Blu-ray wave for many years, finally
turning up first in HD from Japanese label Kadokawa in the summer of 2015
. Unfortunately that release was underwhelming, undeniably a new scan but suffering from an interlaced presentation, shoddy encoding, and, perhaps even worse, a mono-only presentation of the English soundtrack.
took over a year for a decent Blu-ray to finally turn up from Koch Media in Germany courtesy of a three-disc mediabook set containing the usual illustrated German liner notes booklet inside. Oddly enough, this release came just after Argento mounted his own
real-life production of Verdi's
in Italy, complete with controversial lashings of gore and nudity. Thankfully, none of the participants wound up getting hit by cars or tied by maniacs, at least as far as we know. The Koch Blu-ray and first DVD contain the main feature,
which can be played in either the full-length version (107 minutes) or the abbreviated export cut (95 minutes), both derived from the Italian negative with opening and closing titles in that language. The uncut version features DTS-HD English (the first Cannes dub with Barberini's British accent), Italian, and German audio options in stereo; the German one sounds very thin and reedy, but the other two are very robust apart from some occasional hissiness in the English dub (which has been inherent to that version on home video). There's also a German-only audio commentary, which won't be of much use for English buyers. The shorter export cut is presented with German or English DTS-HD stereo options, featuring the second, flatter dub for Barberini's character and the best sound quality of the bunch. The transfer itself is from the same HD master but presented more effectively with better handling of grain, color, and black levels, plus it's progressive. The second DVD contains seven Freak-o-Rama featurettes not on the Blu-ray, all in English or Italian without English-friendly options, featuring interviews with Argento (21 mins., touching on his 2015 production of the Verdi opera), Simonetti (30 mins.), writer Franco Ferrini (36 mins.), and makeup artist Sergio Stivaletti (15 mins.), plus an overview of Macbeth and its cursed history with Enrico Lucherini (13 mins.), a 36-minute critical study by film historian Fabrizio Spurio, and a 25-minute Q&A with Argento at a German screening in 2006. All of these feature optional
German subs, so if you have a familiarity with all with the language, you might still be able to muddle through. That DVD is rounded out with two different music videos for the film's theme, one shot on the film set with Simonetti and a later one performed by his band Daemonia.
After a lengthy gestation process,
finally made its American
Blu-ray debut
in early 2018 from Scorpion Releasing as a single-disc general retail version containing the standard uncut version with the revised English soundtrack (with Barberini's flat Americanized accent). It improves on the German Blu-ray quite a bit, featuring significant additional image information and a much richer appearance including deeper blacks and much more finely modulated shades of red and blue (with less of a greenish/yellow cast as well). Detail looks excellent throughout, and the robust colors most closely resemble that epic Japanese laserdisc release. In short, it's the best-looking presentation of the film to date and finally manages to get the framing and color scheme perfectly balanced. (Frame grabs in the body of this review are from the Scorpion disc, with comparison ones seen below.) Audio options include a DTS-HD MA 5.1 track (with some modest but fun channel separation, especially in the raven scenes) and a DTS-HD MA English stereo track reflecting the usual Dolby Stereo mix we've known and loved. Both are much less hissy and better balanced, too. (A deluxe three-disc edition for the specialty market is slated for later in the year as well with multiple aspect ratio, running time, and language options as well as expanded extras.) Bonus material here includes an Argento interview (21m41s) that covers some of the usual material but with a much warmer opinion of the film than he's expressed in the past. That's followed by a great new video interview with McNamara (16m44s) about how he got the gig on this film while he was making
Secret of the Sahara
in Italy without having to read a single line, then later discovered Tarantino was a fan of the film during an audition; of course, he also chats quite a bit about his elaborate, legendary death scene. He also goes into more detail about the whole Redgrave fiasco, which is a tale unto itself. Also included are the U.S. Orion trailer, the international English trailer, and the Italian "coming for Christmas" teaser.

In this enlightening volume, a concise, knowledgeable text by the director of the Royal Gaudí Chair at the Polytechnical University of Catalonia (Barcelona) combines with striking images by a well-known architectural photographer to provide a new perspective on Gaudí's remarkable career. The text covers the full range of his oeuvre, describing early assignments in the 1870s as a draftsman for leading architects in Barcelona, the innovative buildings he created for the Güell Palace and Estate, daring new structural solutions at Bellesguard, architecture inspired by nature at the Casa Calvet and in the Park Güell, and the construction of his unfinished masterpiece, the Church of the Sagrada Familia, which occupied him until his death. The author traces all the influences that led to his definitive style, from his fascination with the Orient and neogothicism to his affinity for naturalism and specific geometric forms.
Brilliantly illustrated, this incisive overview of Gaudí's visionary work is ideal for those who delight in his architecture as well as those who look forward to traveling to Spain to see his monumental legacy.

Cultural festival returns for a second year
September 23, 2017 by Sarah
The 2nd annual Egyptian Festival is taking place in Houston next month.
The festival will celebrate the culture, food, and music of the Ancient Egyptian civilization.
Guests will have the opportunity to try a variety of traditional foods including shawarma (grilled meats), falafel (chickpeas), grape leaves, and mini spinach pie. Beverages will also be available.
There will be musical entertainment from Jabour Balka, belly dancing demonstrations and lessons, and a history lesson where guests can learn how to spell their name in hieroglyphics. There will also be camel rides, henna painting, and a costume contest. In addition, there is a raffle in which the grand prize is round trip tickets for four via Egypt Air.
A number of vendors will be on hand to sell a range of Egypt-related merchandise, including printed papyrus, Egyptian and Turkish teas, and traditional musical instruments.
The festival offers an opportunity for Houston residents to learn all about the Egyptian culture, and no doubt organizers will be distributing flyers and booklets throughout the city to advertise.
The Egyptian Festival will be held at Discovery Green on October 28 from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Admission is $10 for adults and free for children aged 12 and under. For the most up to date information about this popular returning event, visit the official website.

Keith Urban Continues His Love Affair With the Guitar
Keith Urban began playing the guitar as a wee lad, first honing his skills on a ukulele, then graduating to a bona fide real guitar, and fell head over heels in love for the first time.
His first electric guitar was an Ibanez copy of a a Fender Telecaster Deluxe. "Wish I still had it," a wistful Keith tells Nashville's Tennessean. "I traded that one and bought a candy apple red Fender Strat, because I wanted one that looked like [Dire Strait's] Mark Knopfler's."
During the sabbatical between The Ranch and his first solo U.S. record, Keith's guitar playing was what helped him pay the rent. The guy from Down Under played a lot of recording sessions, including ones for the Dixie Chicks. "Session playing, I found uncomfortable," says Keith. "I didn't know how to get a good guitar tone. Playing live is well and good, but the studio is a different environment. And my playing suits my music more than it suits other people's."
Even though, he's constantly playing guitar on the road and in the studio, he still enjoys noodling with his guitar around the house. "I still play music around the house," says Keith. "Particularly when I've just bought a guitar, and I seem to always be acquiring another guitar."
Coming off a win at the Grammys for Best Male Country Performance for 'Sweet Thing,' the father of one will head back out on the road March 16 for a performance at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

AS Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Club opened its doors to the world's top players, Wollaston Tennis Club members competed for their annual Jubilee Trophy.
With temperatures warmer than the Majorca, nine brave couples competed in a Mixed Handicap Tournament to try to get their name on the club's coveted Silver Salver.
It was originally presented to the club originally by a former Ladies Captain Muriel Wright, a tireless worker for both the tennis club and the local community. The trophy commemorates Queen Elizabeth Silver Jubilee in 1977.
This year's tournament saw several husbands and wives entering as well as club treasurer Mike White and his daughter Emily. Matches took place over a three hour period in sweltering temperatures, and were competitive, fun and as always played in great spirit.
The final was played between club chairman Alan Hughes and first time finalist Claire Ashman playing against Chris Brown and Sarah Needs. In a tense match, Chris and Sarah came out on top meaning that the trophy was won by two members who weren't actually born when the first event took place.
Tournament organiser John Cutler said: "It was great to see so many members taking part on such a hot afternoon at Wollaston. This annual tournament has run since 1977 and is always well supported with our Club Championships just about to start."
Wollaston has four men's teams and three ladies teams which play in both Hereford and Worcester and also Staffordshire leagues. Anyone who would like any information on membership or coaching should visit wollastontennis.co.uk.
