Strengths And Weaknesses Of OPERA

We must know which visitors we can expect. For example, guests for a wedding (because a wedding will be held in one of the halls of the hotel), or businessmen who come for a business meeting, or a family on vacation.

My least favorite is operas because it is hard for me to understand what is mainly about, but it was interesting to see their performance. I think Americans have been slow to cultivate the enthusiasm for opera that prevailed in Germany and Italy during the 19th Century because they must be interested in live performance or foreign languages. I believe that Americans went to listen opera because they think it was entertaining. They are attracted to live performance, singing, and great costumes. It is like watching a movie on their days. I honestly don't think operas are enjoying an increasing popularity in the United States because most people focus on modern music like pop music or rock music. For example, I found a channel about a woman and

Homestyle Hotels Inc is a result of merger of Lifestyle Resorts and Home Away Hotels. Each individual hotel operates in silos with no standardized process to capture client information. Initially, Ben Garrett (the IT director)’s mandate was to ‘consolidate the firm’s IT’, however with the said objective having been achieved, the higher management now wanted a more cohesive picture to enable better analysis and present a consistent picture to the outside world. The roadblocks to the integration are one too many- two different hotels, two different ways of working, vast geographical expanse. The question now was, of the two vendors who had come to present their software applications, which application would most suit the

Opera is a timeless music that transcends the generations. I would like to go out on a limb, and suggest that the average young person does not really give much thought to opera. However, it is a music that will last much longer than the popular tunes that they listen to on their music player today. The great thing about going to the opera is the opportunity to experience classical music at its best. Actually, there is something very soothing and seductive about pure classical music set to a stage filled with actors acting out the human condition in some form. One of the perks concerning living in the Fort Worth area is the number of wonderful opera performances that are available to the general public.

Verdi’s Othello has had a profound influence on the world of opera, and considered by many critics to be his best work. Othello has been performed throughout the world, debuting in over 25 countries within the first fifty years of its creation (Stanford). It has been performed all over the globe by world-renowned operettists, in theatres such as the Lincoln Center in New York, the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, and the Bolshoi in Russia. Othello is about a general who is led to believe his wife is cheating on him, when in reality she is not, and deceived by Iago, a man he trusted. Othello has two love duets between the same characters, but with very different moods and relationships, which are portrayed through the dialogue, the stage actions, and most importantly the musical strategies employed.

Orfeo ed Euridice by Gluck, was written in 1762 and The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart was written in 1786. It is interesting to analyse the changes and developments from opera seria to these two examples.

Opera in the Romantic Period was a time when opera changed drastically, especially in the country of Italy. The recognition of singers as being important, almost irreplaceable, in the art of “bel canto” opera changed the idea of a vocalist in opera forever. A singer’s voice was prized and Italian composers, like Rossini, Donizetti, and Bellini wrote operas and works to showcase the voice, it’s color, range and agility. These Italian composers were moving away from the normal style of composition of the time, and the composer Rossini, who set the stage for many other followers. Many of the operas written during this time are still performed today and are highly acclaimed. For the most part, before Italy became a main player, France

Imagine you are in a darkened theater and on stage are the actors. Behind the actors you can see the scenery. Down in front of the stage, in what is called the pit, is an orchestra and a conductor. As the orchestra plays, the actors on stage do not speak their lines they sing them!

The Baroque time period was a time of artistic style extravagant motion and clear, simply interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, excitement, and magnificence in sculpture, painting, architecture, literature, dance, theater, and music. Opera is an arrangement in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining libretto (text) and musical score, typically in a theatrical setting. Opera came out of the baroque period of people wanting to make music that was more expressive. A group of people in Italy decided that a single line of melody with simple accompaniment would be much more expressive than words. This caused the creation of recitatives, which early operas consisted entirely of. This also caused arias, duets, and

On Friday November 3rd I had the pleasure of attending an evening of Opera titled Love Through the Ages with Maria Fortuna and Nancy Townsend at the Sean O’Sullivan Theatre. Having never been to an Opera performance I had no idea of what to expect and was looking forward to this new experience. Fortuna was accompanied by multi-faceted pianist Nancy Townsend. These two musicians showed tremendous expertise and were able to keep my attention through the extent of the program.

When students study to sing Italian bel canto opera, it’s better to use the work which performed by people who is original singer to imitate and practice. However, there are still a series of problems will happen for non-Italian students when they are study singing the opera, for example Semiramide. Bel raggio lusinghier. Even according to the video soundtrack to imitate, the overall effect artistic and performances is not satisfactory. The problems are pronunciation hesitation, slurred speech, unknown the meaning of the text. All of these problems will reduce the bel canto opera artistry.

Donald Grout defines opera in his text, A Short History of Opera, as “a drama in music: a dramatic action, exhibited on stage with scenery by actors in costume, the words conveyed entirely or for the most part by singing, and the whole sustained and amplified by orchestral music” (4). A literal translation of the word opera is simply work, and although the term opera was not coined until 1634, one of the first known operas was performed in 1597 (Grout 1). Grout explains that there are two types of opera. The first type is when the main emphasis is on the music (Grout 6). Examples of this type of opera can be seen in the works of Lully and Wagner (Grout 7). The second type of opera is characterized by the music and other factors being of

Hospitality establishments are continually trying to improve customer service and new innovations are being created every day. “Customer participation is an important component of the service production process” (Wattanakamolchai, 2008, p. 1). One concept to improve the customer service delivery system is to have guests become participants in the actual production and this term is called the “co-production”. Since new technologies encourage a new genre of experience, the concept designed for a new co-production strategy for Portofino Bay Hotel is a mobile app. A mobile app is a software program guests can download and have access by directly using their phone or any other mobile device. This mobile app will provide guests a platform to be used from their mobile device by using their tablet, mobile phone or laptop. The mobile app will allow guests to book their rooms, check-in, use as a room key, check-out, make reservations at any of the restaurants or at the spa, purchase tickets for Universal Orlando theme parks, and provide immediate guest feedback on all services rendered. This, in turn, will allow the guests to play an active role in guest participation in creating their own memorial experience.
