Saturday, 18 September 2010. Ludovic Tézier, Chevalier des Art et Lettres. I found out today that Ludovic Tezier has been awarded the title of Chevalier des Art et Lettres, which is, as far as i am aware of, the highest distinction the French state can bestow upon one of its artists. Congratulations! Find out more and see some pictures of the ceremony, which took place yesterday before the Oneghin premiere at Opera Bastille from this fan blog. Ah, no lasciarti in pace!

CheyneyK: Public Honours for the public's sake
http://cheyneyk.blogspot.com/2015/04/public-honours-for-publics-sake.html
Performing and visual arts. Wednesday, 8 April 2015. Public Honours for the public's sake. From bbc.co.uk. Today I read a piece. About the outgoing director of the British Museum. Neil MacGregor has been, by many accounts, a good thing. One thing in the article that really caught my attention was that this significant person has twice refused a knighthood. However, what if we, the public, who have benefitted from his peerless stewardship of a public institution, wanted to recognise him? That makes the de...

Song, Stage and Story: How can opera survive in the 21st Century?
http://songstageandstory.blogspot.com/2015/05/how-can-opera-survive-in-21st-century.html
Song, Stage and Story. Thursday, 28 May 2015. How can opera survive in the 21st Century? I'm trying to think over this tremendously wide subject ahead of a conference hosted at the Royal Opera House on 6 and 7 June. In preparation I've been reading John Culshaw's extraordinary reminiscence of recording Wagner's Ring Cycle. For Decca in the 1960s, Ring Resounding. John Culshaw Ring Resounding. Martin Secker and Warburg, 1967, p261-262). As part of the Solti/Decca Ring. The Golden Ring' (1964). Opera Singi...

Song, Stage and Story: Opera: telescoping with the voice
http://songstageandstory.blogspot.com/2015/05/opera-telescoping-with-voice.html
Song, Stage and Story. Wednesday, 20 May 2015. Opera: telescoping with the voice. From roh.org.uk. I went to see - and hear - the final performance of Szymanowski's King Roger. At the Royal Opera House last night. I liked it. The music is colourful, just this side of lurid. The orchestra spills out into the side boxes (the harps) and there's an off-stage organ, not to mention the chorus of course. It made me think about the recent trends for opera: the fad for immersive, site-specific and general close-p...
