Plus, we give a big shout-out to new Miami head coach Tony Soprano, who leaves his New Jersey home to take over the 1-15 Dolphins in '08. Congrats, Tony. And remember: Don't stop believin'.
Child singing megastar Bobby Breen is the lead in Hawaii Calls, a masterful musical by veteran director Edward F. Cline. Bobby Breen was a box office smash in the nineteen thirties and his magical soprano voice is still a marvel to hear. Breen plays a dirty shoeshine boy who dreams of a better life. He decides to stow away on a ship to Honolulu with his good friend Pua, a native Hawaiian. The treat of the Hawaiian themed story is that Breen performs several classic songs native to the island paradise. Clearly much time and money was spent on the musical diversions in the film, and it did not go to waste. Hawaii Calls is one of Breen’s best films.

Third and final part of my musical birthday gift to my best friend and favorite big sister (jay to the kay, I love Sophie just as much. ;] )
Song is Wonderwall by Oasis - a cappella, by a soprano? It's weird, I'm not gonna lie, but I think it's interesting. I'd only sung it three times with the music before today, so it's not perfect, but it's the thought that counts, right?
And what I think is that my sister needs to realize just how many times she's saved me from going over the edge. <3 Love love love, sissyduckling.
Old friends Gene Bowen and John Densmore recently joined forces to lay down a few songs at The Hen House. Bowen had written the songs many years ago and was very excited to finally bring them to life. With Densmore, formerly of The Doors, on the drums, Jimmy Hazz on the bass and Art Ellis on the soprano saxophone, Bowen had all the necessary pieces in place to create three classic songs. Bowen plays the guitar as well as sings his very inspiring and thought-provoking lyrics. Their music will take you back a few decades and remind you of a time when songs were like poems, full of heart and soul. The Hen House enjoyed the journey and so will you.

Offenbach's authentic final scene of the Giulietta Act was incorporated in the integral edition for the first time in Hamburg. Ingo Metzmacher, who conducted the premiere, agrees that the finale now gives balance to the opera, making the end of the tale of Giulietta as important and the other acts.
PS: Giulietta is not a role for mezzo-soprano!

Life is nothing but opera and we perform our libretto until the last accords of music play: Chan! Chan!
Genius depicts three days in the unconventional existence of Alana Gruber, a world famous Opera Soprano that returns to her home town, after a life long absence, to perform in a charity event, sponsored by some of the most influential people in Fort Lauderdale. This young woman, sometimes charming, sometimes obnoxious, has chosen to live her life as if performing on stage, making all events revolving around her, as dramatic, romantic, epic, comic and operatic as Opera itself.
Alana Gruber is frenetically in love with stardom and would be willing to even imagine vivid conversations or to pretend tragedies in order to make her presence unforgettable. But, as the performance develops, we clearly observe that everyone around her, every one of us in a way, we perform our days as if it was Opera as well.
See the making of CLEAVER a film by Christopher Moltisanti, better know as a primary member of the notorious Soprano family. Witness as Christopher's vision comes to life when CLEAVER hits theatres nationwide!
