#Louise Homer

[opera-ghosts]

This is a very rare item. November 16. 1908 was the first time Arturo Toscanini conducted at The Metropolitan Opera. This was also the first appearance of 4 other great names. A historical evening 115 years ago.

does anyone has good illiad translation suggestions because im currently reading the one by Emily Wilson but idk if it's good

[pxmlx]

Officially done watching Ripper Street and I recommend it so much!!

I will take that laudanum tho @corpyburd

I will say that Susan Hart/Caitlin Swift is my favourite character (which tbh she probably should be just for being played by MyAnna) because she is such a complex character in my opinion. MyAnna plays her beautifully. I truly believe that she wanted to be a good person but basically every choice she made resulted in her being portrayed as this evil woman, which was especially hard to watch because in most scenes you could just see the pain and the anguish in her eyes, the scene with Jackson in season 3 is a great example of her being very aware of the situation she put herself in and showed her guilt over it. I loved her because even though she wanted to be a good person she was aware that she made choices ‘good’ people wouldn’t and she does a lot of good anyway but she doesn’t even take credit most of the time. In the end even though it pained me greatly I knew she would accept her fate and hang, which broke my heart because she was and is my favourite character.

And another thing, even though her relationship with Matthew was toxic, unhealthy most of the time (almost all of the time tbh) it was epic, I loved it. They were destined for one another and it shows. It was hard to watch when he was with another but I always knew that they would end up together anyway because, to me, he clearly loved her for the entire duration of the show even though they fought more than anything else. Every time they called each other by their original names I got so soft and giddy idk

Reid often annoyed me though 🙄 but even with that the show was still enjoyable, it’s amazing actually, I finished it and immediately started rewatching my favourite episodes that’s how captivating it is

During the moment of death, the soul (psuche) leaves the body via the mouth or, if appropriate, via an open war wound. According to Homer other elements, namely the thumos (from the heart) and the vital spirit (aion) in the case of young people, also escape from the body but play no further role. The corpse which remains simply decomposes and is of no further importance.

Il Trovatore: "Stride La Vampa" · Louise Homer · Metropolitan Opera Orchestra · Giulio Setti

Louise Homer was one of the most talented and popular opera singers of the early twentieth century. She had a two-decade career as a leading contra-alto with the Metropolitan Opera in New York. She performed with Enrico Caruso and Marcella Sembrich under director Arturo Toscanini. Along with her beautiful voice, she was greatly admired for her powerful acting and stage presence. She sang many of the grandest roles in the Italian, French and, German operas. Her notable roles were Amneris in Giuseppe Verdi's Aida, Orpheus in Toscanini's 1909 revival of Christoph Gluck's opera, the Witch in Engelbert Humperdinck's Königskinder, and the title role in Horatio Parker's Mona. She also toured the country as a solo recitalist.

Louise, a top selling artist on the Victor Talking Machine Company (RCA), was regarded as one of the first great classical recording artists. She recorded from 1903 through 1929, singing arias, gospel hymns, and songs composed by her husband Sidney Homer. She recorded duets with Caruso, Alma Gluck, and other opera stars. Her recording of “Whispering Hope” with Alma Gluck was a national best seller.

Born Louise Dilworth Beatty in Pittsburgh in 1871, she was the daughter of Dr. William Trimble Beatty, founder of the Shadyside Presbyterian church. Beatty Hall at Chatham College in named in hour of Dr. Beatty, who was one of the founders of the college. She sang in the church choir with her eight brothers and sisters. When her father died in 1882, her mother moved the family to West Chester, Pa to be near her relatives. She studied voice and made her public debut in Philadelphia with an performance of the cantana “Ruth the Moahitess”. Louise graduated as valedictorian from West Chester High School. To help support her family she worked as a stenographer and court reporter. She continued to study singing with Abbie Whinnery and Alice Goff. She also sang contralto in a church quartet. In 1893 she quit her job and enrolled at New England Conservatory of Music. Her composition instructor Sidney Homer (6 years her senior) accompanied Louise to a performance of Faust by the visiting Metropolitan Opera. Disobeying her family’s religious beliefs it was the first theatrical performance she ever attended. After that performance, Louise vowed that she would become an operatic artist.

Louise wed Sidney Homer in 1895, had a child, and went off on borrowed money in 1896 with her husband to Paris for more vocal studies. In Paris studied with drama with Paul Lhérie and voice with Fidélé König. She made her professional debut as Louise Homer in 1898 in Vichy, France as Leonora in Gaetano Donizetti’s La favorita. She continued her early career appearing at for a season at Covent Garden in London in 1899. Her performances at Covent Garden resulted in a Royal Command Performance. Appearing for a season in Brussel she had over 100 performances at the Théâtre de la Monnaie. Maurice Grau of the Metropolitan Opera heard her sing in Paris and offered her a three year contract. In 1900 she became an principal singer at the Metropolitan Opera in 1900, performing there until 1919.

Louise Homer found critical acclaim in 1908 for her performance as Orfeo in Toscanini's revival of Gluck's opera. Operate Critic Richard Aldrich wrote of her "nobility, dignity and plastic grace for the eye, and of full-throated and beautiful song for the ear."

Louise retired from the Met after the 1918 - 1919 season. She sang for several seasons with the Chicago Civic Opera. In 1927 and 1928 she returned to the Met for two celebrated guest appearances. She toured the country appearing at recitals that included songs by her nephew, Samuel Barber. Her older sister, Marguerite, was Barber's mother.

Louise and Sydney retired to Florida, where Louise became a vocal instructor at Rollins College. She taught vocal students until her death at age 76 in 1947. While she was at the height of her singing career she raised six children with her noted composer husband Sidney Homer. She was elected as one of the greatest American women by the National Association of

Woman Voters. : In 1939 Sidney Homer wrote “My Wife And I: The Story of Louise and Sidney Homer”. Her daughter Anne Homer told Louise’s story in the 1973 biography “Louise Homer and the Golden Age of Opera”.

Update: Bin durch die Hölle gegangen & es hat mich erstaunt wie einfach ich Dante doch zu lesen fand. Hab noch Odysse von Homer & Metamorphose von Ovid im Regal & die vielen mir schwerer beim Anlesen.

Und ich muss wirklich noch einmal erwähnen, wie gut der Kommentar ist. Falls wer sich Dantes Göttliche Komödie auf deutsch widmen möchte, kann ich nur wärmstens die kommentierte Fassung im Reclam Verlag von Hartmut Köhler empfehlen.

Bevor ich ins Fegefeuer gehe, mach ich aber eine kleine Pause & lese von Louise Glück (Nobelpreisträgerin von 2020) ein zweisprachiges Gedichtband.

PS zur Hölle: boy oh boy, würden wir viele Politiker:innen & Personen des öffentlichen Lebens dort wiederfinden, wenn wer das auf die heutige Zeit adaptieren würde. Gebe zu, die ganzen Anspielungen, auf reale Ereignisse aus Dantes Zeit, wo Menschen in Entscheidungspositionen sich scheiße verhalten haben, waren mir ein Fest. Und noch einmal Danke an den Kommentar, ohne den ich das alles natürlich nich gewusst hätte. Letzten ging ne Meldung durch social media, wo "konservative" in USA Jesus zu links finden. Ach, wirklich? Was du nich sagst 🙃

an Anfang des Jahre hab ich mir Lesevorhaben notiert & eine is: einen Monat nur Lyrik lesen. Der Monat startet morgen. Bin gespannt, ob ich das durchhalte. 
Hab's jetzt schon ein wenig verwässert & mir gesagt: »naja, Sachbücher… die zählen ja nich, weil da gibt ja keine lyrischen Sachbücher zB über die 'fd in Deutschland. das kann ich ja dann nebenbei lesen.«

[PMD Day] Explorers Camp Under the Cherry Tree

---

... under one full moon night.

This is my entry for PMD Day, happening at August the 2nd.

Looking back, whenever I do something this grand, (scenic BG, fancy style shading), it's usually in the form of commission. Thought of trying it for the PMD Day Art.

The scenery is partly inspired by Minecraft's Cherry Grove biome, hence the sakura tree acting as the feature piece of the scene. With my PMD AU cast from The Lucid Explorer, and Mountain Luxio, having a good time in the camp, whilst Iago (Floragato) tells stories and folklore of his home region.

Now to those who had followed TLE so far, you might be wondering why is it that Sylvir (Skitty)'s partner a Shinx, and not a Luxio (Mason). Well, that, I cannot answer for now, as this scene is not related to both AUs... This is just a fun little scenic drawing of mine to celebrate PMD Day. --- Team Avant-garde: > ??? (Shinx) > Sylvir (Skitty) > Meredith (Lombre) > Wisteria (Barboach) > Homer (Electrike) Mountaineering Felines from MtLu: > Louise (Luxio) > Iago (Floragato) > Benjamin (Torracat)

If you're interested in a commission from me, [do check here] for details. Or you can check my [Carrd art commissions.] Or you can DM me too.

You can support me via [Ko-fi] and/or [Patreon] too!

The Lucid Explorer is a Novel-format AU based on my first PMD Explorers of Sky Run. Mountain Luxio is a PMD Explorers AU comic series inspired by the game Celeste.
