OPERA
OPERA:
An opera inspired by the 1995 massacre of Muslims by Bosnian Serbs
at Srebrenica is due to open in Sarajevo.
Almost 8,000
men and boys were executed in Srebrenica, which was a UN-declared
safe zone at the time. The Bosnian National Opera will perform the
opera - called Srebrenicanke (Srebrenica women) - for the first
time on Friday night.

ENTERTAINMENT: OUR CHOICE
ENTERTAINMENT:
It was
nearly a lifetime ago that Brooke Shields shocked the world as a knowing
child prostitute in the film Pretty Baby and told us that nothing came
between her and her Calvins. As that rare creature who navigated her way
from child stardom to a successful adult career, Shields looks back on it
all as a fun time, a great opportunity...Red carpets and banners festooned
a soggy Leicester Square on Wednesday for the opening night of the 48th
annual London Film Festival, which has a slate as diverse as the teeming
capital city that hosts it. Between Mike Leigh's working-class tragedy
Vera Drake, which opens the festival, and the closing film, David O.
Russell's existential comedy I (Heart) Huckabees on Nov. 4, 180 features
and 103 shorts from 60 countries will be screened.

Mon Dieu! To be and live in Paris during "Les
annees folles", between the end of 1917 and 1934, especially if you were
an eccentric artist, an intellectual adventurer, a frou-frou femme fatale,
a genius or an independently wealthy American, willing to spend a lot of
money on arts, dating and women. Ask Madonna, Leah Furman,
Penelope de Vassy and Louise de Chambertin. Really "real"
America's la crème de la crème was there. The "real" American high
society, the privileged class, the snobs (Although it was too early for
the Americans to know how to be a snob), les bourgeois, wealth filthy
characters, the hustlers with a style, the scandalous adventurous women,
the schmoozers and the cruisers, the handsome gigolos, the champagne, the
caviar, the kisses and the misses, sex, the drama and all the "chic"
pleasures of the era.

WORLD CABARET:
Maximillien de Lafayette's review of Diva Barb Jungr's show
at Joe's Pub in New York City.
NEW YORK
CITY- Her October cabaret show at Joe's Pub in New York City
was a smashing success. Barb Jungr took New York and the
audience by storm. Listening to her albums is a delight. But,
seeing her performing on stage is the ultimate musical treat
and an experience at many levels, not to miss. From her very
first song to Waterloo Sunset, her international hit, Barb
Jungr shined brighter than midnight sunset, enrobed with a
femme fatale aura, a sensual intellectualism and the implosion
of a dignified femme fatale. Her show was a sort of a tribute
to Bob Dylan. She sang his biggest hits, her style and her way
and she excelled. But, when she delivered Jacques Brel's "Ay
Marieke, Marieke", the audience went wild. She mesmerized the
hell out of them.

The ESSENTIALS are those CDs or

significant for the genre per se. Cabaret is my forte. Cabaret
music is my favorite topic. And I will writing about it, and
about the best cabaret CDs of recent years; CDs of American
Cabaret singers and songwriters. Unquestionably, the greatest
non Parisian, non ethnically French Cabaret singer in the world
and outside France is RAQUEL BITTON who currently lives

CILICIAN STYLE:
FROM ITS
GLORIOUS DAYS, ITS ORIGIN, ITS RISE, ITS GLORY TO ITS FALL AND DEATH ON
THE HAND OF THE MAMLUKS.
The
second style of the early Armenian manuscripts painting is the Cilician
style. A very beautiful, colorful, rich, vibrant, humanistic and
detailed brighter and happier art. Tens of thousands of illuminated
manuscripts were produced in the times of medieval Armenia. Unfortunately
many perished.

HISTORY AND GENOCIDE:
To fully understand the essence and spirit
of Armenian art in the homeland and Diaspora, a brief glance at the
history of Diaspora in the last hundred year (1895-1994) is necessary. At
the end of the 18th century and at the beginning of the 19th century the
political and geographical role of the Russian Empire becomes more
dominant and active in the internal affairs of Armenia. Russia won the
1804-1013 war against the Persian empire. Consequently, Russia gained many
territories, and new lands, including the Caucasus, Gandzak khanates and
Karabagh.
 MUSEUMS/GALLERIES:
A
lighting technician’s dream at London’s Albion Gallery. Walking
into the Albion Gallery, part of a new Norman Foster complex, is a little
like being in an architect’s model. Identical lined-up trees and vast empty
spaces create an air of anonymity. Turrell’s clean and apparently
emotionless work, though, is exactly the type of art that an architect might
approve of inhabiting such a model...
