I went to see a Teatro Dell' Opera di Roma - The Story of the Aida is marvelous... Warren Mok is a great Tenor ever seen..
Act I
The Scene 1:- Hall in the King's palace in Memphie
Radames,
captain of the guard, learns from Ramfis that the Ethiopians are
threatening war and that the Goddess Isis has already chosen the
Egyptian supreme commander to lead the battle against the enemy.
Radames cherishes the hope that he may be the choice. he imagines a
glorious victory where he will be able to return triumphantly to free
his beloved Aida, slave of the Egyptian King's daughter Amneris. A
messenger enters, bearing the news that the Ethiopians, led by
Amonasro, are advancing towards Thebes. The King then announces that
Isis has appointed Radames to lead the army. Meanwhile, Aida is torn
by conflicting emotions since the victory of Radames, Whom she loves,
must mean the defeat of her father, the King of Ethiopia, who has taken
the arms to rescue her from slavery. The Temple of Vulcan:- inside the
emple, the prests and priestesses sing praise to the gods. Radames
enters dressed for battle and receives the sacred sword.
Act II
Scene1:- Amneris' Chamber
Amneris
is surrounded by her slaves who are dressing her for the triumphal
festivities. When Aida enters, she decides to test whether Aida is in
love with Radames. She tells her that he has been killed in the battle,
and Aida is stricken with grief. Amneris confirms her suspicion and is
filled with rage. She reveals the truth that Radames is alive, and she
loves him too. Amneris threatens her, reminding her that she is only a
slave and cannot hope to compete with a daughter of the Pharaoh.
Scene 2:- Outsdie the City Walls at the Grand Gate of Thebes
The
King arrives in State and the court sings a chorus of praise and
thanksgiving to Isis. Radames enters, and on greeting him, the King
offers to honour and request the makes. As the defeated Ethiopian
prisoners arrive, Aida recognises Amonasro, her father, amongst them.
he tells her not to disclose his real identity and tells the Ethiopian
king is dead. He pleads for the lives of the prisoners and is
supported by Radames and the Egyptian people. The High Priest objects
and proposes that at least Aida and her father should be held in
Egypt. The King approves this suggestion and announces that he intends
to rewards Radames by bestowing the hand of Amneris upon him. While
the crowd cheers, Radames and Aida secretly express their sorrow.

Teatro Regio do Parma - Verdi's Rigoletto
Teatro Regio di Parma
I
have a marvelous time, I have been to Verdi's Rigoletto Italian opera.
I was so enjoyed tonight. Absolutely, the story was great. This was
my second time to watch Verdi's opera (one was Aida). If I have chance
I will live in Italy for few year, as well as to get to know more about
their culture. I am so in love Italian opera.
Giuseppe
Verdi's monumental opera Rigoletto is back - this time in totally
authentic Italian form. The Teatro Regio di Parma, Mecca of all things
Verdian, once -in-a-lifetime chance to see a genuine Italian opera all
the way from Italy. This is Verdi's operatic masterpiece as you have
never seen it before. Using original sets, crafted in the old theater
in Parma and shipped right onto the Festival stage this production of
Rigoletto is performed true to th tastes and style of Verdi" day -
sumptuous, elegant and grand.
He
wrote numerous masterworks that dominate the repertoire of classical
opera. His music, both dramatic and lyrical, has an infectious quality
that leaves audiences humming the melodies long after a performance is
over. In the story of Rigoletto the court jester, Rigoletto, mocks
important dignitaries in the court and becomes embroiled in a deadly
curse that eventually seals his fate, and that of this beloved
daughter, Gilda. Luch, Dramatic and laden with famous arias - this is
Verdi's Rigoletto at its ' tutta Italiana' best.
The Teatro
Regio di Parma has had a very long, rich theatrical and musical
history, since it first opened in Parma in 1829. In its early years,
it staged traditional bel-canto opera but when Giuseppe Verdi's operas
hit the theater in the 1850s, it experienced a new and immense
popularity.
In
1872, Verdi directed a glorious Aida at the theater and in 1913, Arturo
Toscanini also a Parmesan like Verdi, took to its stage to mark the
centenary of Verdi's birth. To this day the Teatro Regio remains
closely connected to Verdi's work and is one of the most important
theaters in the classical operatic tradition. Numerous legendary
artists, including Beniamino Gigli, Maria Gallas, Fraco Corelli and
Renata Tebaldi have graced its stage and its annual Verdi Festival is a
gala of operas, that commemorate the great composer.

Greece is my favor place.
I have a wish when I get retied and the place I would like to live in Greece.
I've never get tiring to travel Greece, because Greece is the most interesting place to know and visit.
A
friend and I went to watch 'Greece: Secrets of the Past' this film
which invites us to join an archaeological journey, and exploration of
th vital legacies left to modern society by ancient Greek civilization
hurtling 2,5000 years back in time. The Digital re-creation techniques
facilitated the restoration of scenes such as the original Parthenon
and the powerful volcanic eruption that buried Santorini in 1646 BC.
The films is the stirring story of how a Greek archaeologist of the
21st century endeavors to uncover the Secrets of his ancient ancestors
whose astounding ideas, inventions and achievements have been
influencing the world until today.
I
went to the Island of Santorini in 2002 or 3. The Island of Santorini
which was marvelous place and I wish I would have chance to visit
again. Once destroyed destroyed by a gigantic volcanic eruption in
1646B.C., Santorini is now a circular archipelago of volcanic islands
located in the Aegean Sea. Some archaeologists found traces of a
Bronze Age city on this island.
I
also went to Athens and visited The Parthenon temple but at that time
the building were only broken columns of this temple lie scattered.
Ruins of the
Parthenon - The Parthenon was a temple to worship Athena, Goddess of
Wisdom. The Greeks had the genius to tailor this building to the human
eye. Unfortunately, only broken columns of this temple lie scattered
about today. A computerised depiction of the Statue of Athena Goddess
of Wisom which it is said that the crown jewel of the Parthenon was
once a huge statue of the goddess, Athena, a 12.2 meter tall tower of
ivory and gold.
