Schumann's Myrthen at Wigmore Hall with Sarah Connolly, Robin Tritschler, Anna Huntley and Malcolm Martineau (★★ ★★) - concert review There is a recording of the opera in the catalogue already, a very credible one from 1987 with Gerd Albrecht conducting. This has Julia Varady as Olimpie and Dietrich Fischer Dieskau as Antigone. But it is cut (the present recording is also slightly cut, but not as significantly as the 1987 one) and the performance style does veer a little to much towards Italian bel canto. In the summer you can enjoy performances during the International Festival of Ancient Olympia; hike through the beautiful nature surrounding Alpheios River; have a refreshing swim in the small lakes created by the Neda waterfalls; and head to Kato Samikos beach – it’s an 18 km trip from Ancient Olympia. Don’t miss out on a visit to the Kaiafas spa area – the hot springs are in a lush forest that is part of the Natura 2000 network: enjoy the treatments and the wonderful view by the lake. Extreme sports lovers will enjoy hiking, bicycling, rafting, kayaking, and kitesurfing in the area.

( 16) In fact the opera is remarkably passionate, but with the period instruments comes the ability to use somewhat lighter, more flexible voices than modern instruments would require. At 1645B/23 five more torpedo planes led by a seaplane came in from the northward. Three Fulmars caught them about 20 miles away. They managed to shoot down two planes and drove the remainder away.

The classical Pelopion was a separate sanctuary defined by a peribolos wall dating to the 6th century BC, [9] long after the conventional start of the Olympic games, 776 BC (which cannot be disrespected without tampering with the entire ancient Greek dating system). This was certainly a remodeling of a previously existing sanctuary of Pelops. A 1987-plus excavation of the Pelopion established "a continuous ceramic sequence for the 11th century onward" including submycenaean (1100-1000 BC) and protogeometric (1000-900 BC). There was a good sprinkling of "cultic" material (votive figurines and vases). [10] Etymologies [ edit ] HMS Olympus (Lt.Cdr. H.G. Dymott, RN) departed Gibraltar for her 8th war patrol. She was to provide escort for convoys HG 56 / OG 56. Tenor Mathias Vidal has a firm core to his sound, with a plangent quality that draws the listener in. I have previously admired his skill and insight in operas by Catel, Saint-Saëns, and Ravel. Olimpie is divided between her love for Cassandre and her duty to her mother. The troops of Cassandre and Antigone clash and Antigone is mortally wounded. Before dying he confesses he was responsible for the death of Alexander, not Cassandre. Cassandre and Olimpie are now free to marry. Gates, C. (2003). Ancient cities: the archaeology of urban life in the Ancient Near East and Egypt, Greece and Rome. Psychology Press, 2003. p.234

Casaglia 2005a and Everett 2013, p.138 ("the resident conductor of the Opéra)." Everett gives the date of the premier as 20 December 1819, but Lajarte 1878, p. 94, states that, although 20 December appears on the printed libretto, it is erroneous, and the premier actually took place on 22 December. The light cruiser HMS Kenya (Capt. M.M. Denny, CB, RN, flying the flag of Rear-Admiral H.M. Burrough, CB, RN) joined the convoy around 0900Z/23. The sentence is (lines 44-48 of the poem) ... Διὸς ἄλκιμος υἱὸς σταθμᾶτο ζάθεον ἄλσος πατρὶ μεγίστῳ: περὶ δὲ πάξαις Ἄλτιν μὲν ὅγ᾽ ἐν καθαρῷ διέκρινε, τὸ δὲ κύκλῳ πέδον ἔθηκε δόρπου λύσιν ..., which may be translated literally as "the stalwart son of Zeus measured out the sacred grove to his greatest father: having fixed the Altis on the one hand he distinguished it in a clear space and fashioned a plain in the surrounding circle as a relaxing place for festivals." The English does not capture the Greek exactly; the Greek words require some exegesis.
