My Idea for a Live-Action X-Men Movie...
Thinking... how can we introduce the X-Men into live action, whether through movie, tv show, limited series, etc. ... and I have an idea.
Let's start in media res.
Charles Xavier's School for the Gifted has been active for the past few years, however with a small class size of seven. Scott. Jean. Bobby. Hank. Warren. Alex. Lorna. Despite only consisting of seven students, due to Xavier's wealth he has been able to keep his school open and thriving since the beginning.
However that has changed as the size of his class has dropped from seven to one after a botched mission led to the capture of his students save one, Scott Summers.
And the opening scene is Xavier sitting in his mansion, worried, waiting, until Scott kicks his door down, tells them his team is gone, and passes out due to exhaustion.
We then pick up on our narrator for the movie, the character whose eyes we will be seeing the entire movie take place through, stepping off a plane and into JFK airport...
Ororo Munroe. Storm.
She had travelled from her home in Africa seemingly on a whim, as if drawn there by fate, and - unsure where to go or what to do next - she goes to a nearby bar to make her next plan.
Who should happen to sit next to her but a short, hairy man in a cowboy hat and a thick, Canadian accent?
Ororo, meet Logan. They do not hit it off.
She does happen to hit it off with the soft spoken Russian man who is reading poetry at the other end of the bar - Piotr Rasputin - and the bartender, a Native American man - James Proudstar - who wasn't supposed to be working that day but traded shifts with his roommate.
While they are all gathered there they hear a voice in their heads and turn around to see Charles Xavier, a man they all recognize and all soon realize is the reason they are now gathered together in this bar. At first they all want to leave but Xavier implores them to at least first hear him out, which they agree to do, but he tells them he won't start until the final member of their group is here.
Cue shouts and gunfire as Kurt - Nightcrawler - runs, leaps, and teleports across the airport in all his blueness.
Xavier manages to calm the crowd however not before one of the security guards manages to call in that the threat is a mutant and it's a race to grab Kurt before reinformcements arrive. But wouldn't you know it the group is not the best team yet and the reinforcements do arrive in the form of Sentinels.
It seems like all hope is lost when, out of nowhere, a stray quartz-colored beam blows one of the Sentinels apart and allows the group a moment to escape. They regroup in Xavier's car, which had been where Scott was waiting while Xavier gathered the others.
They return to the mansion where Xavier explains what happens to his team, that they were responding to a mutant in distress on an island that had ultimately been a trap - with only Scott escaping. The group has been gathered together to help Xavier and Scott rescue their teammates.
It's mostly a resounding no. Piotr would rather be at home on the farm. James has to go searching for a new job since he undoubtedly got fired from the bar for leaving during shift hours. Logan is "not a team player" and believes that the team is most likely dead anyway. Kurt is game but he is also "not the best fighter".
Ororo also agrees to help.
That surprises everyone. She says that while the circumstances that brought them together were underhanded, she cannot sit idly by while innocent people, people like her with a mutant gene, are in danger. Not just those on the island, who they are tasked with rescuing, but around the world especially since Sentinels have become standard issue around the world. While she does not see herself being a full-time member, she knows that the team Xavier had protected mutants like them from these threats and, with them gone, who will protect their community now?
Xavier tells them that, after they help rescue his original team, they would be free to leave and do what they want with their lives as they please.
Piotr is in. So is James. Logan sighs and agrees, "Since I don't want to be the odd one out." They agree to go save the others. Scott says, however, that before they can mount the rescue mission, they need to become a team first - referencing their battle at the airport and how they need to improve.
They agree to train.
Meanwhile, on the island, we see that there is a Master Mold along with Trask and scientists working on creating the next model of Sentinels in their ongoing war against mutants using the captured mutants from Xavier's Academy as test subjects. The scientists are just as much as prisoners as the X-Men, however, as they were led to the island on false pretenses and forced to work for Master Mold who had, unbenknownst to everyone until the final act, had taken over Trask and controls him as a puppet.
A few of these scientists came with their families. One of these families were the Prydes. Katherine Anne Pryde is seen as a non-threat by both Master Mold and Trask, and is able to freely wander the island as well as speak with the prisoners because, since everything is monitored and she is twelve, she cannot do anything to disrupt the mission. We learn from this scene that Master Mold is on the cusp of unveiling a new breed of Sentinel that, using the schematics pulled from Jean's mind, would be able to track mutants anywhere without needing to be called in. It was luck that the X-Men arrived on their island, fell into their trap.
Meanwhile back in Westchester, NY, this new team of X-Men are having a hard time at coming together to work as a team, which is making Scott mad. He and Logan almost come to blows if not for Piotr stepping between them to break things up. They both step away to cool off.
Ororo decides to speak with both of them. First, she goes to Scott, and tells him that he is not being a good leader. They have a heart to heart where he confesses that his friends are his family, and Jean... he has a lot riding on this being a success, and this is as new to him as it is new to them. He is not used to working with people he hasn't grown up with. Ororo tells him that he needs to lead from a place of love and courage, and not fear. Then, she goes to find Logan to see that he is brushing off Kurt rather coldly and Ororo does not wait to take him to task on his loner attitude. They clash a bit before Ororo tells him to get his act together or just leave, as it shouldn't matter to him what they think if he really doesn't care.
They all agree to do another training session, only they never get the chance as Xavier tells them it is now or never as there was a spike of pain from the same island his first team was lost, and that cannot mean anything good. The heroes go to get suited up and fly to the island base.
Master Mold is ready to create his new breed of Sentinels and it looks like they are a success, as they have been fitted with new upgrades. He activates a few and they immediately power online with the alert that there is a mutant among them.
All eyes turn to Katherine Anne Pryde. Kitty.
Her father and mother object but are restrained as the Sentinels begin to pursue her, only able to tell her to run before they are knocked out. Kitty runs and manages to escape the Sentinels after discovering her ability to phase through solid matter. The escape is not fullproof as they burst out the bunker in full pursuit. When she reaches the beaches with what looks like no place left to go, the clouds part and reveal the Blackbird jet which Ororo had just exited from and is now flying down to confront the Sentinels she spotted chasing the little girl. The Sentinels sense her power and lock onto her, only to get blasted by lightning and turret fire.
The X-Men land and confront the Sentinels but, unlike at JFK, they are able to work together and take them down. Even Logan finds himself being a team player. They rescue Kitty and she tells them where the prisoners are and also what Master Mold is planning.
The team decides to split up - Scott, Piotr, and James will confront Master Mold while Ororo, Logan, and Kurt follow Kitty to the prison area.
Of course we stay with Ororo because, again, she is who we are relying to guide us through this story.
We get to the prison area and it's Ororo, Logan, and Kurt going HAM on these guards taking them down while Kitty uses her powers to free the X-Men. She manages to get to the main control room and hits the button that releases all the prisoners who do their best to help, despite being weakened from experiments and torture.
We learn from Kitty that there's a prisoner missing, and they admit that it's Jean. She was taken by Trask.
So the group races to the main room where Scott, Piotr, and James are and see a BUNCH of Sentinels on the loose and pure pandemonium. Piotr and James are on the ropes and Scott is putting up his best fight, however just as the group arrives the Sentinels converge and blast him, with a woman across the room watching calling out his name as he 'perishes' (we'll circle back on this later).
Without their leader and shocked, Ororo steps up and takes command, leading the group into battle like she's been doing it all her life against the Sentinels while Kitty and Kurt evacuate the scientists. She cuts across the room almost instantly to get to Trask and Jean where we finally learn that the former has been completely taken over by Master Mold and is now a Sentinel cyborg. They battle it out but it's a tough battle given the numbers they're against until there's a moment where Ororo and Jean are tucked away, shielded from incoming blaster fire from Trask and the Sentinels, when Jean places her hands to the ground and closes her eyes. Ororo asks what she's doing and Jean tells her she's asking for help.
"From who? Xavier only sent us?"
"From the mutant we came here to help in the first place. From the island."
BOOM! We get the reveal that the island. Krakoa, is a mutant and has been weakened by the experiments run on it by Master Mold and the Sentinel. Jean tells the group that they need to let Krakoa 'feed' on a piece of their energy to recupe its strength for it to help them and they all look to Ororo as it's her call, and she says they should do it. They do and the ground rumbles and shakes and we can see the island begin to terraform as it fights back against Master Mold and the Sentinels. It takes out MANY of them while the X-Men pick up the slack on the rest.
Ororo takes on Master Mold/Trask hybrid as the island begins to sink back into the ocean, with Trask, damaged, spouting nonsense. That he is there to save the world, that he is the FUTURE, the INEVITABLE, that the X-Men cannot prevent the world falling apart in the future, that they will be responsible for the apocalypse. However, with a lightning zap and some timely telekinesis, the group escapes back to the Blackbird as the rest of the island has already been evacuated.
The X-Men return to Westchester without Scott and inform Xavier of what happened.
Time moves on. They recover. They mourn. A memorial service is held for Scott. Xavier's original students, Warren, Bobby, Alex, Hank, and Lorna, decide to leave the school afterwards as they believe they need to come at the Sentinel problem another way. They form X-Force.
Xavier comes up to Ororo after the service and asks her to stay on, despite her having no obligation to do so. She watches Logan and Kurt keeping Kitty entertained while Piotr and James speak with her parents, about Kitty staying on at the school and learning from Professor Xavier, and decides that she would like to stay and lead the X-Men. Jean joins them and says that she'd be happy to be on any team Storm is leading, revealing that -of the original students - she is the only one who is staying with the X-Men. The three look out onto the horizon as there are endless possibilities for the X-Men now *play the theme song*
END CREDIT SCENE NUMBER ONE - Magneto watches Xavier's new team of X-Men in action and converses with Mystique, saying that, "If Charles has put together a new team of recruits, we should, too."
END CREDIT SCENE NUMBER TWO - A blonde woman in all white speaks with a raven-haird men with red eyes and a crimson diamond embedded in his head. "You pulled a lot of favors to get him, are you sure he's worth it?" "Believe me. He is." The duo, Emma Frost and Dr. Sinister are looking over the body of Scott Summers, very much NOT DEAD, held in stasis as the camera pans out and reveals the Hellfire Club.
And that would be how we introduce the X-Men, and mutants, into live action movies.

Has anyone else read George Tremlett’s The Paul McCartney Story (1975)? It was really interesting to see some of his mid-seventies takes on Paul, other members of the rock press, the Beatles, Wings, and Linda. 
For example: 
“There is a widespread feeling which occasionally shows itself in conversation between musicians that McCartney is overshadowed by Lennon...One can see why people might [make] a judgement of this kind, for McCartney often tends to understate himself whereas Lennon is a towering figure for reasons not altogether connected with his music. 
If the rock generation has had the impact on world thinking that I personally believe it has, and if the world’s politicians now realise that the day has passed when old men could create wars for young men to die in, then the one person more than any other who has delivered that message, more effectively even than Bob Dylan, is John Lennon, with his shrewd use of images and acorns, Bagism and the Plastic Ono Band. But Lennon has only been able to do that as one-quarter of The Beatles, and as one-half of the Lennon-McCartney song-writing team he found himself with a ready made platform. And had it not been for the simplicity and melodic content of McCartney’s own music, which made The Beatles’ music acceptable to such a far wider audience, would Lennon ever have had such a platform?
What is so extraordinary is that the two of them--originally so raw, rough, determined, often aggressive but very different people--should have found something bigger than themselves through skiffle....Of them all, Paul McCartney was and is the truest pro--seldom giving away a trick in an interview, bending press conferences, never letting the world outside know when something was going wrong, always smiling for the camera-men, and quick to help a fan given rough treatment by a stage-door keeper. It was the essence of good public relations--and the fans warmed to him. Beneath it all, he is every bit as tough, determined, and as aggressive as Lennon, with that rare blend of qualities that I have already mentioned. Perhaps the most remarkable thing of all is that, despite all of his success, and the fact that he is self-assured, dresses expensively, enjoys a high level of living and the freedom to travel anywhere in the world whenever he wants to, McCartney still has no phoney graces” (15-18).
Right before this, Tremlett describes how Paul (and Linda) both had good memories and could remember to check in about specific things: 
“My wife and I had a long private interview with Paul and Linda McCartney, in which--after the interview was over--we started talking about their farmhouse in Scotland and our cottage in Devon...my wife mentioned that she was looking for some Tiffany-style lampshades, and Linda had recently found some. About a year later we attended a Wings concert at Oxford, when there was a conference for journalists from all over the world afterwards--and McCartney suddenly called across to me: ‘Have you been down to Devon recently?’ A few minutes later Linda asked: ‘Did your wife get those lampshades?’
Now, it is easy to be cynical about people who have this memory for detail--but with the McCartneys it is a very natural warmth that makes people feel they know them when in fact they probably have only a very superficial relationship” (15).

Rules for Dealing Cards in 비트게임 #4580
In other words the true odds are 1 in 37 (or 1 in 38). However, the highest a casino will pay out in roulette for any single bet is $35 for every $1 you bet (maximum payout rate of 35 to 1). http://query.nytimes.com/search/sitesearch/?action=click&contentCollection&region=TopBar&WT.nav=searchWidget&module=SearchSubmit&pgtype=Homepage#/토토사이트 The bet to qualify for the jackpot for any particular hand is usually just $1, and it’s not connected to the stakes you’re playing in the game. Around 70% of every dollar goes into the progressive jackpot pool while the casino keeps the rest. The former Portuguese colony of Macau, a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China since 1999, is a popular destination for visitors who wish to gamble. Based on heavy trading with the Orient and/or due to the nomadic Roma people who were known to engage in cartomancy and fortune telling, playing cards traveled to Southern Europe.
Interestingly, the Swiss pattern differs from any other regional or national design in the way the court cards are split into two halves. The diagonal division line does not have the same direction: in all kings and three ober knaves it is slanted leftwards, i.e. as a backslash ( \ ), whereas in all under knaves and the ober of Acorns they have the same direction as a slash ( / ). These lines do not even have the same length, nor the same angle in all subjects, as can be seen in the previous samples. Standard editions follow this irregular yet traditional scheme; very few exceptions are known, among which a recent Jass deck by Piatnik (on the right), in which all lines are identical. Today's pattern is the effect of Charles Goodall and Son's reworking of the old Rouen pattern during the 19th century. Thomas Bass, in his book The Eudaemonic Pie (1985) (published as The Newtonian Casino in Britain), has claimed to be able to predict wheel performance in real time. The book describes the exploits of a group of University of California Santa Cruz students, who called themselves the Eudaemons, who in the late 1970s used computers in their shoes to win at roulette. Dealing is done either clockwise or counterclockwise. If this is omitted from the rules, then it should be assumed to be:clockwise for games from North America, North and West Europe and Russia; counterclockwise for South and East Europe and Asia, also for Swiss games and all Tarot games.
Players can further develop their edge if they maintain an Ace and a King and employ some tactics. For example, if the dealer’s upturned card is an Ace or a King, the player should raise if they have a Queen or Jack (in addition to the Ace and King), as this signifies that the player has blockers on the dealer’s pairs and that the player more than likely has the best Ace-King hand. The United States introduced the joker into the deck. It was devised for the game of euchre, which spread from Europe to America beginning shortly after the American Revolutionary War. The dealer shall then collect any progressive payout wagers and, on the layout in front of the table inventory container, verify that the number of gaming chips wagered equals the number of progressive payout wagers accepted by the table game progressive payout wager system. Players may only bet the pass line on the come out roll when no point has been established, unless the casino allows put betting where the player can bet Pass line or increase an existing Pass line bet whenever desired and may take odds immediately if the point is already on.
The set of the optimal plays for all possible hands is known as "basic strategy" and is highly dependent on the specific rules and even the number of decks used. Good blackjack and Spanish 21 games have house edges below 0.5%. If you think that you may be able to beat the Dealer’s hand, you may elect to play on by making an additional wager. This is known as the bet – it must be twice the value of your ante wager. Otherwise, the dealer’s downcard is revealed, and, if the dealer does not have a natural, any player’s natural is paid off at one and a half times the bet; the dealer who has a natural wins all the bets except when there is a tie, or “push,” with anyone else holding a natural.Like the C & E and Horn bet, if a player wishes to take down the bet after a win he or she would receive all five units back.

The program code used to calculate these results can be downloaded from this site, so that everybody can verify and compare them to their preferred counting method.You really don’t want to lose money or miss out on a big win just because you don’t know all the rules of a game.
Keno and Bingo machines were first introduced in Montana in 1975. Although subject to legal challenge, these machines were deemed legal in 1976 after the Montana Supreme Court ruled in favor of Treasure State Games, a private company that brought the first games of this type to the state. (See Justia.com - Treasure State Games v. State of Montana) One aspect of casino gambling that’s especially appealing to players is the fact that the majority of games are very straightforward. Often using a standard deck, poker games vary in deck configuration, the number of cards in play, the number dealt face up or face down, and the number shared by all players, but all have rules which involve one or more rounds of betting. 우리카지노계열 The most famous of the films is 21, which is a story derived from the real-life antics of the MIT Blackjack Team.
A number of factors need to be considered when choosing which variant to play. Does the dealer hit soft 17? Players may make a put bet on the Pass line and take odds immediately or increase odds behind if a player decides to add money to an already existing Pass line bet. False Alarm or Just Practicing – Tongue-in-cheek term used when one calls bingo but is mistaken.Each spin pays out a small number of balls, but the objective is to hit the jackpot. The program of the digital slot machine decides the outcome of the spin when the ball falls through the center gate, not when the spinning animation plays.
Between 1989 and 1996 nine states authorized commercial casino gambling: Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, and South Dakota. A few machines still pay out in coins or tokens, but they are being rapidly replaced. A string of legal victories allowed the tribes to convert the small-time bingo halls they had been operating into full-scale casinos.VLTs were first popularized in Atlantic Canada, with New Brunswick becoming the first province to introduce them in 1990, and the other Atlantic provinces following suit in 1991. In New Brunswick, sites were initially limited to a maximum of five machines each, and they were later removed from locations that did not hold liquor licenses.

Beatles Engineer Geoff Emerick Died: Rob Sheffield on Music Influence – Rolling Stone
Tumblr media
Geoff Emerick was just a lad of 19 when he became the Beatles’ engineer, bringing his own brash approach to the experimentation the band was beginning to try in the studio. The immediate result: Revolver, the 1966 masterpiece that forever changed pop music. “A lot of that was down to Geoff Emerick,” producer George Martin told Mojo in 2007. “He brought a new kind of mind to the recordings, always suggesting sonic ideas, different kinds of reverb, what we could do with the voices. He was quite prepared to break rules. ‘You call that top? This is top!’ he’d say, turning [the dial] all the way round.” At Abbey Road, still a formal environment where the technicians wore white lab coats, Emerick meant trouble. “He was always experimenting and the bosses at EMI didn’t like it,” Martin says. “He got severely reprimanded when they found him putting a microphone in a pail of water to see what the effect was. I loved that freedom of thought.”
Emerick, who died Tuesday night at the age of 72, was a crucial collaborator in the Beatles’ glory years, helping them find endless new ways to reinvent the way music sounded — and the way people around the world heard it. He’s one of the few non-Beatle voices to appear on one of their records — you can hear him say “Take two” at the start of “Revolution 1,” as John Lennon responds with a cheerful “okaaaay.” (Actually, this might have been the most polite conversation these two had during the White Album sessions.) But he’s buried deeper all over their music — for instance, the primal boom in Ringo’s drums, the massive thump everyone else went mad trying to copy? A wool sweater, which Emerick stuffed into the drum during the sessions for “Tomorrow Never Knows.”
Innovations like this endeared him to the band, who quickly came to depend on the wizardry of their teenage engineer, who they lovingly called “Ernie” or “Emeroids.” He helped them blow minds with Revolver and Sgt. Pepper, even though he’d never tried a drug more psychedelic than lager. He was a creative spirit who threw himself into the try-anything improv ethos of the Beatle sessions. As he put it in his 2006 memoir Here, There and Everywhere, ‘Whereas Paul might say, ‘This song needs brass and timpani,’ John’s direction might be more like ‘Give me the feel of James Dean gunning his motorcycle down a highway.’ Or ‘Make me sound like the Dalai Lama chanting on a mountaintop.’”
That last one was John’s command at the session for “Tomorrow Never Knows” — Emerick’s first day on the job as engineer. Talk about getting thrown into the deep end — yet he came up with tricks that helped bring John’s vision to life. At another session, John presented Emerick and Martin with an impossible task: edit two different versions of “Strawberry Fields Forever” into one song. As Martin tried to explain why it couldn’t be done, John walked out with the simple words: “You can do it.” His faith was well-placed. After hearing Emerick’s delicate tape splice, John crowed, “Good on yer, Geoffrey!” As McCartney sang on Revolver, this kid had “another kind of mind there.”
Emerick came to work at EMI Studios when he was just 15, as a humble assistant tape op on the sessions for “Please Please Me,” “She Loves You,” “This Boy” and “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” But after the Beatles stretched out on their December 1965 album Rubber Soul, even breaking all taboos by staying in the studio working after midnight, their engineer Norman Smith (“Normal” to the lads) decided this music was getting too far out for him, so he handed over the gig to the new kid. Emerick was made for this job. His youthful enthusiasm could keep up with theirs. As he wrote, “We knew that the word ‘no’ didn’t exist in the Beatles’ vocabulary.”
Emerick notoriously walked out on the White Album after one too many versions of “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.” It’s ironic that there’s so much creativity and camaraderie on the splendid new White Album reissue, to be released November 9th, which has hours of previously unheard studio sessions and demos. The whole White Album box set is a magnificent tribute to the Beatles as a team, forever shattering the myth that it was the four Beatles working solo. But making it drove the band — and everyone else in Abbey Road — to the edge of madness. Emerick broke down from the retakes and all-nighters and arguments. Yet the White Album package contains some of the greatest music he ever worked on — even if it remained one of his most miserable memories for the rest of his life.
McCartney wooed him back for Abbey Road, a much mellower experience. “Quite muted,” Emerick recalled. “Everyone seemed to be walking on eggshells, trying not to offend.” As McCartney put it later, “It was nice to return home, to something we knew and understood: George Martin, Abbey Road Studios, songs done quite quickly … not too much heavy breathing.” The band joked about calling the album Everest, after the cigarette brand Emerick smoked in the studio. (“His ciggies were just lying on the control room desk, and we went, ‘What about that? Everest!’) They even bantered about traveling to Mount Everest to shoot the cover photo, until they contemplated the prospect of having to spend that much time together. Finally, Ringo said, “Fuck it; let’s just step outside and name it Abbey Road.”
In the Seventies and Eighties, Emerick became famed for his old-school approach; Elvis Costello called him “the last of the blacksmiths.” He produced Costello’s 1982 opus Imperial Bedroom, laying on the studio frippery as if in response to the stripped-down Nick Lowe production on Costello’s previous records. He also worked on many of McCartney’s finest post-Beatles records, including gems like 1973’s Band on the Run and 1997’s Flaming Pie. He engineered the Zombies’ 1967 classic Odessey and Oracle, including “Time of the Season,” going for the same Pet Sounds-inspired precision (“a really clean American sound”) Paul requested for “Penny Lane.” He did the honors on hits like Stealers Wheel’s “Stuck in the Middle With You” and Manfred Mann’s “Pretty Flamingo,” along with albums by Seventies troopers from Mahavishnu Orchestra to Robin Trower to Cheap Trick. In 1975, he engineered a demo David Gilmour was producing for a shy 16-year-old schoolgirl, terrified at her first time in a studio, a song she wrote called “The Man With The Child In His Eyes.” Her name? Kate Bush.
Here, There and Everywhere also stands as one of the best and funniest books about the Fabs. The best story: the night John storms into the White Album sessions and yells, “I am fucking stoned! I am more stoned than you have ever been! In fact, I am more stoned than you will ever be! And this is how the fucking song should go!” Then he bangs out the piano intro to “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.” Paul is pissed — but he’s no fool, and he knows a damn good idea when he hears one. So they try it with John’s piano intro — and that’s the version we all know and love from the White Album. No wonder Emerick found it traumatizing to listen to.
It’s the book of a guy who spent countless hours with the Beatles, but never saw them outside work, so he doesn’t pretend to know or care a thing about their private lives. He’s mostly interested in technical details, the kind of lore Beatle freaks live for. How did Paul get that bass sound on “With A Little Help From My Friends”? (He sat in the control room, watching the monitors, with an extra-long lead connected to his amp on the floor of Studio Two.) How many hours did George spend trying to nail the “Taxman” guitar solo? (Two. Then Paul stepped in and got it in one or two takes.) Why is John chewing gum as he sings “All You Need Is Love”? (He just forgot it was there.) Yet the whole book is candid, irreverent, unsentimental, poignant, not to mention hilarious.
“It was always a matter of capturing the moment,” he says at the end of the 10-week Revolver sessions. “Exhausting as it was, both mentally and physically, it was a good way to work — really, the only way to work.” That work — the Beatles, their producer and their engineer on fire with new idea — changed the world.

Blogging Mariposa: Meet the heroines of Heroic Opera
Our November production of Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera is fast approaching, and we’ve finally found a moment to sit down and blog! This show is truly an enormous undertaking, and one of our most exciting projects to date: not only is it our biggest opera yet, but it also marks our first collaboration with the Heroic Opera Company.
Heroic Opera was founded just this year by award-winning soprano Sarah Templeton, whom Mariposa audiences may recognize as Angelica from 2014′s Suor Angelica or Dido from 2016′s Dido and Aeneas. Now, Sarah is taking on her most exciting role yet as an event producer at the helm of her own opera company. We sat down with Sarah and her co-producer Melissa Ratcliff to get their perspective on our upcoming co-production, so read on for the interview below...
Tumblr media
Tell us a bit about Heroic Opera. Heroic Opera is Sarah’s brainchild. It’s a company that’s devoted to performance of Romantic-era operas, in particular the operas of Richard Wagner, Giuseppe Verdi, and Richard Strauss.
What inspired you to start a new opera company, and why did you choose to focus on the works of these specific composers? There are lots of smaller opera companies in the Vancouver area - some of them focus on light opera, or lyric opera, or Gilbert and Sullivan, and those who don’t have a particular focus tend to gravitate towards lighter operas with smaller casts, as they’re easier to stage. As a Dramatic singer, it makes it harder to find shows that suit your voice, and since no one else was presenting these great works, the time seemed right to bring them to the stage.
Heroic Opera launched just this summer with Wagner's Die Walküre. What was it like to stage your first production, and what were your favourite parts, as well as the greatest challenges? Sarah’s reaction at the close of Walküre was, “I can’t believe we just did that.” Wagner, and particularly the Ring Cycle are notoriously difficult, both in size, length, and scope. We also had a very short rehearsal period - a little more than a week - and several cast members who had to drop out due to illness shortly before the performance, meaning their covers were called up. All of this led to a very hectic schedule, which may have been fortunate because it made us not realize the scale of the undertaking. The performance ended up being spectacular - the cast was rock solid and the crowds were enthusiastic and very receptive. We even had several people in the audience who were at the last Vancouver performance of Walküre in 1975!
What attracted you to Verdi's Un ballo in maschera? While Ballo is another big, epic Romantic opera, the story itself is very simple - a tragic love story that can never be, and the desire for revenge that can consume us all. It all takes place in the court of the King, ending in a beautiful masked ball, but the story is still just that of ordinary people and the struggles they face trying to find love and happiness.
Why did you decide to team up with Opera Mariposa on this show? Although Mariposa isn’t focused on a particular style like we are, our companies are very similar. We’re both devoted to presenting operas to new audiences, to promoting the careers and giving performance opportunities to up and coming singers, and to engaging with the local community. Opera Mariposa has been at it a lot longer, and is very well established in the Vancouver area, so we certainly have a lot to learn from them, and hope to continue collaborating with other local groups.
Tumblr media
Going from Wagner to Verdi - how would you compare the two, and are there differences when you're working on operas by such different composers? Wagner is unusual in comparison to virtually all other composers because of his technique of “through-composition”. This means his music is written, not in standard song form with 1-3 verses and a chorus or bridge, but with text and music that is continuously changing. It’s like setting Homer’s Iliad to music - it’s a huge amount of text and music to learn, and nothing repeats, or rhymes. The German he uses is an older more formal version - like Shakespearean German, so that makes it harder still - and his operas are typically 4-6 hours long, whereas most operas are 2-3. Verdi’s style of writing is closer to what you expect musically and lyrically, and gives you places to “hang your hat” in terms of learning the music. After Wagner just about everything is smaller in scale, but even most of Verdi’s operas range in the 3+ hour range and takes a huge amount of physical effort and stamina to sing.
What has you most excited about Un ballo in maschera? Since our first production was only semi-staged, this will be our first fully staged, costumed production. And with the vast costume collection that Mariposa has, it should make the show even better. With dozens of cast members in uniforms, peasant clothing, ball gowns, and disguises, it makes it so much easier to bring the story to life, and we’re excited to see what the end product looks like!
Why should audiences come see this show? The voices! This cast is absolutely teeming with talent, so much so that we have two full casts of principals on offer. Some of the best up-and-coming singers in the Vancouver area and beyond, many of whom sing for sold out houses around the world, will be in this show - I think everyone will be amazed at the skill in this production.
What can we look forward to in the future from Heroic Opera? While there are no firm plans yet, we’re thinking of performing Elektra by Richard Strauss, either in concert or as a production, or maybe something else…. Stay tuned to our website or follow us on Facebook and Instagram for all the details!
