I used to say (that) it's like Shakespeare, but it's not like Shakespeare in America anymore, because most people haven't even seen Hamlet. That wasn't the case when I was a kid. I think theater was more in the mainstream in the last hundred years, or more than in the last 25.

How long had it been since the house was full of life?
How long were they all waiting?
How long?
Seeing that once beautiful house, all overgrown with foliage like nature had decided to retake it, made them all sad. Worried even, for their lovers, their friends, their pets, and their family were all in there last they checked, before they left them behind.

They all were referred to as the ones who left, yet they all stood in front of the house where they all once were a long time ago. It all felt odd, yet so relieving to be back. Deciding that the daylight was dimming and it would not be safe to stay out so late at night, only to be greeted with the once great and beautiful interior of the beloved house. Dust, cobwebs, and dilapidated furniture all lined every nook and cranny of the main hall; without a doubt the rest of the place as a whole was going to be in the same condition, if not much worse than here.
"We've been gone for so long?" Louise wondered as she glanced around the once grand place; she was glad to be back, but was more or less concerned with finding Jonathan. "It appears so, I wonder why none of our prospective lovers or our family greeted us?" Jacqueline stated. "Well I'm tired of waiting, I'm off to find Sebastian, Joseph, and Juli." Lydia stated as she went in a different direction, towards the specialty wing to be precise. "Lydia, wait! You don't know what could be lurking over there!" Ariadne called out to her, she was even going to follow her had Hannah not stopped her. "Relax, Dr. Camden- I am sure that Lydia knows what she is doing,"
"Ariadne does have a point though, there could be some unsavory shit lurking in the dark." Luna stated, picking up a bullwhip off the floor. "Wait a second- that's Franziska's whip," Jacqueline pointed out as she went over to Luna and took the bullwhip from her hands. "It's not like her to just leave her most prized possession here," She added. "You don't think something bad could've happened to Franziska, Miles, Phoenix, Pearl, and Trucy?" Samara wondered. "I hope not," Jacqueline stated. Just now, the group heard Lydia's call of anguish coming from somewhere in the specialty wing.
"Everyone else stay here! Celazith, Copia, and Kathleen- come with me," Hannah ordered as she, Celazith, Copia, and Kathleen rushed into the darkened specialty wing. "Lydia! Where the hell are you?" Copia called out first when she and Kathleen failed at looking into the other rooms, hoping to find Lydia alive. "In here! Come quick, please!" Lydia called out, Celazith managed to find Lydia first in the laboratory thanks to her using an illumination spell that Yennefer had taught her at some point. On the floor was Lydia, kneeling next to an unconscious yet hopefully not deceased Joseph Oda.
"I tried getting him to wake up but he can't! He just won't budge for me.." Lydia explained through tears pouring down her cheeks. Hannah rushed over after finding Copia, Celazith and Kathleen huddled around Lydia, checking Joseph's pulse. "He's got a pulse at least and I don't see any other injury he may have; I hate to say this Lydia, but Joseph is comatose." Hannah proclaimed. "What? No, this cannot be." Lydia began to doubt Hannah's statement, but one look on the Southern Huntress' face told Lydia that she was telling the truth; how Joseph became comatose to begin with was unknown, as he had no prior medical issues that would've caused this, and Lydia knew it well.
"If Joseph is laying still as a rock then that must mean-" Kathleen stated, coming to the harrowing realization that Booker and Elizabeth also must've been put under the same spell, the same thing applied to Celazith, Copia, and Hannah. "That must mean everyone else, not just the lovers but family and friends as well, are all asleep." Celazith added. The five rushed back to the group in the main hall who were still anxiously waiting for their return. "What happened? Did something happen to Lydia?" Emma asked. "Not quite, she found Joseph comatose in the lab." Hannah stated.
"But that is so strange, he didn't have any major health issues that would've caused that to happen- hell none of our lovers, friends, and our family did to begin with!" Elora pointed out. "Isn't your fiancé deathly allergic to silver?" Copia wondered. "Yes, but silver doesn't make Bigby comatose- it puts him in a morgue," Elora said. "Do you think some type of sleeping gas was released while we were gone?" Ariadne wondered. "That was my first thought, but no caliber of Nightcaller Temple's miasma is present here. Not even a trace," Moira pointed out. "Well that's just great, does anyone have any idea to fix this?" Claire asked, rather irritated at this point. "I could try, but I would need to do some research on this situation." Ariadne stated. "And how long would that take you, Ariadne?" Alessia asked. "Not too long, I would just need to apply what I already know to some newly acquired knowledge." Ariadne stated, right as she began her trek to the library. "Wait-! Let me come with, I think I know what we need to do!" Edith stated as she followed Ariadne.
In the darkened library where Edith and Ariadne walked, scouring the dusty shelves filled to the brim with tomes on every subject possible; separated by classification, Ariadne managed to find a book on the shelf named, To The Moon and Finding Paradise; flipping through it, Ariadne came across the peculiar method of memory traversal, so she decided to seek Edith out about it. "Edith, what do you know about this memory traversal?" Ariadne asked, walking up to her. "It was something that came with the job when I took up position at Sigmund Agency of Life- when I started working with Neil and Eva, memory traversal or memory alteration if you will- it's only used on people who are in their last stages of living, i.e. the elderly who are close to dying," Edith explained.
"Do you think it could be used on the comatose people in question?" Ariadne wondered. "It can be, in fact Neil has a machine that is for his own usage." Edith pointed out. "Perfect! All we need to do is get back to the others, tell them about our findings and seek out the comatose." Ariadne stated, a hint of glee on her face. "That is going to be a tedious task, for all I know all of our lovers, family, and friends are scattered about this place." Edith pointed out. "Then we'll all seek our lovers first, if we happen to come across any of our friends and family then that'll give us a jumping point at least." Ariadne stated, Edith seemed to agree with this, as this method was something that she was well acquainted with. "Give me a few to find Neil's machine, then we'll pick someone from the group to go first and then so on and so on." Edith suggested, just as she left Ariadne alone in the library. Taking a few seconds to look for another source book, Ariadne managed to find the source where she, Matt, and their own children came from; aptly named, 7th Heaven.
Ariadne was starting to get a little emotional as she read the text dating from 1996 to approximately the late aughts-early 2010s; 1996, was when she met Matt; she was rather shy seventeen year old at the time who had moved with her parents to Glen Oak from San Francisco because the latter did not provide ample quiet for the Phillips Family. Then leaving Glen Oak behind due to taking an apprenticeship. Meeting Matt again at Columbia University. Graduating and moving into an apartment with him. Then finally, getting married, moving into a nice house, and popping out four kids. Ariadne could hardly believe that this simple life that she and Matt led had to be interrupted by all of this, so much that Ariadne had to put the book down simply because she couldn't take anymore emotional pain.
That was until Edith walked back in, carrying the memory traversal machine in her hands. "Lisbeth managed to get the power to this entire house back on," She said, as she walked back out to the main hall with Ariadne following behind. "I also managed to turn on the main radar system, so we can locate everyone." Emestria announced. "That's delightful, alright who's going first?" Evie asked as everyone loudly talked amongst each other, only to be shut up by Kathleen firing her pistol at the ceiling. "Little harsh, Kathleen." Heather sarcastically stated. "Well excuse me, Ms. Watson- but I couldn't exactly hear over everyone's loudness," Kathleen retorted. "Let's not argue here, in fact the best thing we should do is draw lots to see who goes first." Ameia suggested, something everyone seemed to be on par with at most. "Ameia is right, but- how should we do that?" Sidonie wondered, everyone became lost onto how this drawing lots thing should work, until Norah suggested this, "Whoever blurts out their significant word to break the silence goes first."
"Sounds chaotic and rather confusing, but reasonable at best." Savannah stated as everyone went silent. That was, until the silence was broken by,

A arte acima das tragédias pessoais, da guerra e da própria fé
Um dos precursores do existencialismo, Ortega y Gasset considerava que o homem é ele e as suas circunstâncias.

Gluck
Por volta de 1760, em sua visão da reforma do gênero Ópera, Gluck centrava a atenção no libreto e em sua fibra dramática, por ele considerada a alma de uma ópera. Danças irrelevantes, música de diversão e floreadas árias da capo, tão ao gosto dos castrati e prima-donas, seriam sacrificados em nome do principal objetivo: o drama. E o sacrifício, por sinal, foi o tema desta obra-prima composta por Gluck para o Ópera de Paris. Embora o texto tivesse origem na Antiguidade, esta obra seminal abriu caminho para o futuro da ópera. Compositor de influência decisiva, Gluck encerrou a era barroca de Monteverdi, Lully e Haendel e inaugurou a clássica, que florescia nas obras-primas de Mozart e Cherubini. Mas sua influência não parou aí. Richard Wagner e Richard Strauss foram profundamente influenciados por Gluck, e até hoje os compositores levam sua estética em consideração.
Iphigénie en Tauride
Baseada na peça de 1757 de Claude Guymond de la Touche (também baseada na tragédia de Eurípides), segue uma versão do mito de Agamenon em que Iphigénie é salva da morte por meio de um sacrifício no altar de Áulis pela deusa Diana. Levada para Tauris, Iphigénie serve como suma sacerdotisa no templo de Diana e supervisiona o sacrifício ritual de todos os estrangeiros que têm o infortúnio de desembarcar na ilha dos citas.
Estreou triunfalmente na Ópera de Paris em 1779 e desde então é considerada por muitos uma obra-prima do gênero no séc. XVIII. Seu implacável escrutínio de um grupo de almas atormentadas termina numa rápida sucessão de gestos de glorioso reconhecimento, cabal vingança e salvação misericordiosa. São muitas as árias emocionantes, mas a joia máxima é incontestavelmente "O malheureuse Iphigénie", no Ato II, que alça grandes sopranos a novos patamares da glória vocal.
MET
A emocionante adaptação de Gluck do antigo mito grego é vivamente trazida à vida por um elenco estelar na produção atmosférica de Stephen Wadsworth. Plácido Domingo é Orestes, que é levado pelas Fúrias a expiar a morte de sua mãe, Clitemnestra. Quando ele e seu companheiro Pylade naufragam na ilha de Tauride, o rei Thoas exige que eles sejam sacrificados. No centro do drama está Iphigénie, a irmã há muito perdida de Orestes, interpretada pela extraordinária Susan Graham. Forçada a viver entre seus inimigos, ela tem a vida dos prisioneiros em suas mãos, sem saber que um deles é seu irmão.
Gluck nada tinha contra os castrati, mas os apreciadores franceses de ópera, sim. Por isso o papel de Pílades foi composto para contratenor, a resposta francesa ao castrato italiano.

Iphigenia - Great Arias Explained
Oreste - Great Arias Explained
Livro "Ifigênia em Táuride"
Enredo Prévio: Quinze anos antes da história desta ópera começar, o rei grego Agamenon estava prestes a sacrificar sua filha Ifigênia em troca de obter ajuda dos deuses durante a Guerra de Tróia. Nesta versão apócrifa do mito, a deusa Diana (Ártemis) teve pena de Ifigênia e a substituiu por um cervo. Ifigênia foi transportada para uma remota cidade bárbara (Tauride), como sacerdotisa, onde seu dever era sacrificar estrangeiros à deusa, um destino tão miserável para ela quanto a morte.
Papéis Principais:
- Ifigênia: sacerdotisa do templo de Diana
- Orestes: irmão de Ifigênia
- Pílades: amigo de Orestes
- Toas: bárbaro cita
- Diana (Ártemis): deusa
Sinopse: Táuris, na Antiguidade mitológica
Ato I
Após uma tormenta, Ifigênia lamenta a tempestade que ainda a agita. No templo de Diana, revela um pesadelo: a mãe matava o pai e ela própria matava o querido irmão, Orestes. Reza então para reencontrá-lo. Toas informa que dois estranhos deram à praia. Os citas exigem que os prisioneiros gregos sejam sacrificados.
Ato II
Orestes e o amigo Pílades lamentam seu destino, e protestam ao serem separados pelos guardas. Só, Orestes sente-se estranhamente sereno. Mas vem a ser atormentado pelas Fúrias e o fantasma da mãe. Ifigênia surge sem ser reconhecida. Arrancando informações do prisioneiro grego, descobre que o pai foi assassinado pela mãe, por sua vez morta por Orestes, o qual "encontrou a morte que buscava". Ele parte, e Ifigênia chora o fim de Orestes ("O malheureuse Iphigénie").
Ato III
Ifigênia explica que um prisioneiro deve retornar a Micenas e o outro, morrer. Ordena a Orestes que parta para Micenas, mas ele a convence a enviar Pílades em seu lugar.
Ato IV
Diante do altar de Diana, Ifigênia reúne coragem para realizar o terrível sacrifício. Quando Orestes é trazido para o ritual, os dois enfim se reconhecem. Toas tenta matá-los, mas é eliminado quando Pílades chega com os guardas. Diana envia Orestes e Ifigênia a Micenas com as estátuas do seu templo, e todos louvam os deuses.

Brief notes on correspondence of Philip Schuyler and John Jay
I wanted to confirm the transcription of the 7Feb1785 letter from Philip Schuyler to EH was correct - that Catharine Schuyler had been ill - and found it in a letter to AH 11Jan1785 (that doesn’t wish AH a Happy 28th Birthday):
Mrs. Schuyler has been much indisposed since my last. We began to be very apprehensive of her situation but our fears are vanished with the untoward Symptoms which occasioned them. She is now so well as to go abroad and we have well grounded hopes of a perfect restoration.
It’s also confirmed here (Philip Schuyler to John Jay, 22Jan 1785):
I was in hopes to have had a tete à tete with you at new york about this time but Mrs. Schuylers indisposition has deprived me of that pleasure.
The next month (PS to JJ, 21Feb1785):
The attention to be paid Mrs. Schuyler who has been confined to her bed since the 10th Instant has prevented a more early answer. [He then provides him with advice on the plan of his house, which Jay had sent to him; PS also provided the wood for it.]
I haven’t found more about what was afflicting her; PS’s letter to EH indicates that she has mostly enjoyed good health, which is interesting to me considering her numerous pregnancies/premature births/loss on infants.
There’s also this sad note that PS had been saving planks for the Churches to build their home. They wouldn’t be back in America permanently for another 12 years.
When Mr Church arrives at New York Inform your self If he will build & want the boards which I have reserved for him, and which are three to four years old, and have been constantly stacked & Covered.
I guess there was no point offering wood to build a house to the destitute Hamiltons scraping by in their rented house on Wall Street.
A great 1785 letter where Philip Schuyler describes the role of men such as Jay (and himself) in government: “It is a wise, and a true Maxim, and which I think I have heard you ^urge^ more than once, that to serve ones country is the first of dutys, next to that which we owe to the supreme being.” (PS and friends had tried to convince Jay to run for governor of NY; they had already united the families in Albany in opposition to Clinton; JJ was eventually NY gov with Stephen Van Rensselaer as his lieutenant, from 1795-1801, after JJ’s stints as 1st Sect of State and 1st Chief Justice of the Supreme Court).
Always interesting to see how PS described his family and read that he’d made the decision in 1783 to retire from public life (that did not last long) PS to JJ, 1July1783. :
Mr. Carter my son in law, will have the honor of delivering you this, he and Colo: Wadsworth have furnished the supplies for the french army, and have acquitted themselves with great propriety, and to the entire satisfaction of the french commander and chief, and the other officers, they go to sollicit a discharge of the bills which have been drawn in their favor. It is probable that by your intervention their business may be much expedited, will You permit me to intreat Your Attention to them & ^to^ their concerns.
Since you left America two of my daughters have married, Colo: Hamilton has Betsy and Mr. Stephen Van Renselaer has Peggy.
My health is so much impaired, that It is become absolutely necessary, in order to pass the remainder of my days with tolerable satisfaction, that I should retire from public life, and retreat to my Saratoga hobby-horse, where I hope some day to have the pleasure of embracing You, unless you should consent to remain in Europe.
I also came across this little bit (Jay to Schuyler, 19Feb1780):
My Views are at present confined to a Segment of that Circle—but that Segment affords Field for many Inquiries, and yields Matter for Observations—both interesting and entertaining— I will share them with you if you please—and to do it the more effectually, wish you would send me a Plan and Explanation of the Cypher you once shewed me at Rhynebeck, but which I do not now well recollect. Let the Key Word be the Name of the man who so long and regularly placed every Day a Tooth-Pick by Mrs. Schuylers Plate, written backwards, that is the ^last^ Letter in the Place of the first and so on
I assume this is a servant/enslaved person that was with the Schuylers for a long time. The beginning of the letter is also a good example of manners in 18th century letters. Jay and Schuyler do like their cyphers, as discussed in the first letter above:
You have probably a better Cypher than that I shewed & sent you. I have lately contrived one which I prefer to any I have yet seen, on account of Its expedition, and the impossibility, as I conceive, of decyphering it without a previous knowledge of the Key
To finish up this little diversion on some of John Jay and Philip Schuyler’s correspondence, here’s the text of the letter Jay sent following AH’s death:
Bedford, 25 July 1804
My Dear Sir,
The Friendship and attachment which I have so long and so uniformly experienced from you, will not permit me to delay expressing how deeply and sincerely I participate with you in the afflicting Event which the Public are now lamenting, and which you have so many domestic and particular Reasons to bewail.
The phylosophic Topics of Consolation are familiar to You, and we all know by Experience how little Relief is to be derived from them. May the author and only Giver of Consolation be and remain with You. With great Esteem and affectionate Regard, I am my Dear Sir, Your obliged and obedient Servant,
P.S. to myself, the letter from Benson to Jay, 4th January 1805, questioning whether/why Jay has not yet subscribed to the loan for the Hamilton family, is pretty great at summarizing the financial plan of the trustees and executors. Yet:
The principal Motive however for a numerous Subscription ^is^ that it will be more honorable to the Memory of our Freind— All that took place here immediately on his Death may be considered as the Effect of Sensibility for the Moment, but what We are now about to do is, in my View of it, the best possible Means to express our sincere and fixed Affection for him ^and^ some of his superlative Worth— Clarkson has increased his Subscription from 5 to 10 Shares, and I think his Example will not be without it’s Influence
Of course he did.
