Gilbert And Sullivan: Collection

MovieMail Ltd Product Information
During their long and successful partnership, William Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan collaborated on fourteen operas, many of which are still regularly performed throughout the English speaking world today. This set contains five: The Mikado, The Gondoliers, HMS Pinafore, Trial By Jury and Patience. The most successful of their ‘Savoy’ operas, The Mikado made fun of English bureaucracy, thinly disguised by its Japanese setting. Enjoying over 650 performances at the Savoy Theatre, this work remains their most frequently performed work, and has been translated into numerous languages. Stars Anne-Maree Mcdonald, Graeme Ewer, Heather Begg, Peter Cousens, Gregory Yurisich, The Australian Opera Chorus and The Elizabethan Sydney Orchestra. HMS Pinafore was Gilbert & Sullivan’s first international hit, satirising the rise of unqualified people to positions of authority, and poking good-natured fun at the English obsession with social status. As with many of their operas, a surprise twist at the end of the story turned the drama on its head. Stars Anthony Warlow, David Hobson, Colette Mann, John Bolton Wood, Tiffany Speight, Ali Mc Gregor, Roxane Hislop, Richard Alexander, Opera Australia Chorus and Orchestra Victoria. Composed in a matter of weeks, Trial by Jury pokes humorous fun at the law and the legal profession, based on Gilbert’s own experiences as a barrister. The outrageous antics of the characters led to the work being the toast of London, and was a runaway success. Patience satirises the colourful poets of the aesthetic movement including Oscar Wilde, and also lampoons male vanity and chauvinism in the military. The story concerns two rival 'aesthetic' poets, each of whom is in love with Patience, the village milkmaid. Stars Christine Douglas, Heather Begg, Anthony Warlow, Dennis Olsen and The Elizabethan Philharmonic Orchestra. The last of Gilbert & Sullivan’s great successes, The Gondoliers, takes place partly in Venice and partly in the kingdom of Barataria. The lilting score contains some of their most sparkling and tuneful music, and plenty of dancing. Stars David Hobson, Roger Lemke, Suzanne Johnson, Christine Douglas, Robert Gard, Graeme Ewer, The Australian Opera Chorus and The Elizabethan Philharmonic Orchestra.

Danieli Hotel Avignon

Onhotels.com Product Information
Country:France City:Avignon The Danieli Hotel is a quiet and intimate island in the heart of the historic center of Avignon. The hotel is within steps to all the scenic, cultural, and entertainment venues of this city which prides itself on being modern yet guarding its medieval charm. Winding streets yield a wide array of stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and bars always ready to greet visitors with a smile. Avignon has for centuries found itself as a crossroads for commerce, culture, and the quest for power and control. Separated by the ruins of the Saint-Benezet Bridge along the Rhone River, Avignon lies on and traces the historic border between the kingdom of France and the Papal Authority established in the XIV century, when Avignon became the center of the Christian world. Roman ruins such as the Pont du Gard Aquaduct, amphitheaters, and arenas are just minutes away. The rooms are of medium size, with walls painted on pale yellow and pleasant decor reflecting the provencal style. Rooms and bathrooms are in very good condition. The breakfast room is on the ground floor and has been totally refurbished in a contemporary style with walls painted in different shades of purple. The furniture are plain and of pale wood. This is charming, very personal hotel, which is filled with collectable items such as antiques, which can be found on every floor.
