Bastien Und Bastienne
' (''Bastien and Bastienne''), Köchel catalogue, K. 50 (revised in 1964 to K. 46b) is a one-act singspiel, a comic opera, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. ' was one of Mozart's earliest operas, written in 1768 when he was only twelve years old. It was allegedly commissioned by Viennese physician and 'magnetist' Dr. Franz Mesmer (who himself would later be parodied in ''Così fan tutte'') as a satire of the 'pastoral' genre then prevalent, and specifically as a parody of the opera ''Le devin du village'' by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The German libretto is by Friedrich Wilhelm Weiskern, Johann Heinrich Friedrich Müller and Johann Andreas Schachtner, based on ' by Justine Favart and Harny de Guerville. After its supposed premiere in Mesmer's garden theater (that is only corroborated by an unverified account of Georg Nikolaus von Nissen, Nissen), it was not revived again until 1890. It is not clear whether this piece was performed in Mozart's lifetime. The first known performance was on 2 Oc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Agnès Varda
Agnès Varda (; born Arlette Varda; 30 May 1928 – 29 March 2019) was a Belgian-born French film director, screenwriter and photographer. Varda's work employed location shooting in an era when the limitations of sound technology made it easier and more common to film indoors, with constructed sets and painted backdrops of landscapes, rather than outdoors, on location. Her use of non-professional actors was also unconventional for 1950s French cinema. Varda's feature film debut was '' La Pointe Courte'' (1955), followed by '' Cléo from 5 to 7'' (1962), one of her most notable narrative films, '' Vagabond'' (1985), and '' Kung Fu Master'' (1988). Varda was also known for her work as a documentarian with such works as '' Black Panthers'' (1968), '' The Gleaners and I'' (2000), '' The Beaches of Agnès'' (2008), '' Faces Places'' (2017), and her final film, '' Varda by Agnès'' (2019). Director Martin Scorsese described Varda as "one of the Gods of Cinema". Among several other acc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
