​A Request for Native Speakers of Italian

My name is Alessandra Rosetti and I am a postdoctural researcher at Dublin City University (Ireland). We are looking for native speakers of Italian (18+ years) who live in English speaking countries to take part in a short (about 15min) anonymous online survey. Our goal is to understand their comprehension of and trust in (translated) messages aimed at preparing the public for a crisis such as flooding. The survey is entirely in Italian.

concert by alessandro marangoni

8/15/2019

0 Comments

 
The Dante Alighieri Society in Auckland in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in Wellington, the Italian Cultural Institute in Sydney and the CIDIM - Italian National Music Committee, present a concert by Alessandro Marangoni in a piano recital entitled Rossini & Chopin: un dialogo romantico (Rossini and Chopin: a romantic dialogue). Among the most appreciated Italian pianists, Marangoni will deal with two apparently very different composers, who instead, thanks to the perspective of the musician, appear to be very close. Through a very stimulating and unusual program, Marangoni will eclectically exhibit the unlimited ability of Rossini to produce memorable and playful melodies establishing a dialogue with Fryderich Chopin, composer par excellence of piano works of the Romantic era.

European Luncheon to be held at the Netherlands Society

6/25/2019

1 Comment

 
Dear Friends,
After last year's successful event, "Europeans Unite Luncheon", the Netherlands Society will again organise such a luncheon on Sunday, 14 July, 12 pm at the Everglades, 636 Marshlands Road.

On behalf of the committee, I like to invite you and your members to attend. We will serve a traditional Dutch midwinter luncheon at $20.00 per person.

Menu:
Entree: A choice of two different soups
Main: 2 kinds of vegetables & meat or sausage dishes
For dessert: Our famous Dutch Apple cake with custard and/or whipped cream.

During, before or after the luncheon we hope that invited clubs could entertain the guests by performing a musical item in honour of their own cultural heritage. Last year we were lucky to have a beautiful young Russian dancer to entertain us.

Bookings for this event can be made (via email) before 7 July. 
Hoping you will be able to join us.

With kind regards,
Yoka Saris, vice president
Netherlands Society Christchurch

Narropera of Italian Operas of Don giovanni and le nozze di figaro

3/6/2019

1 Comment

 
Hello Dante Alighieri Christchurch,
To add to your opera feast, please note our narropera of Italian operas Don Giovanni and Le nozze di Figaro, arranged for soprano, violin and piano/narrator. We open our 7th year of narropera perormances  (in April) with two performances of a newly written Don Giovanni, which has received repeated accolades since it was first performed in Europe in June 2018, Moreover we also perform three performances of a totally new Le nozze di Figaro, which has been created for a first performance on 20th April 2019, at Lansdown House. Don Giovanni and Le nozze di Figaro play without interval, the former 75 minutes in length, the latter 85 minutes in length.

I hope lovers of Italian music and language will support these splendid performances which will be enhanced by the appearance of our European performance violinist, the lovely French Floriane Peycelon.

Our aim with Mozart is to make his music conform to Italian principles of music making, which were in Mozart's day the musical 'lingua franca'. Mozart is neither Viennese in the modern sense, and certainly NOT German. His musical lingua franca was 'italian'.

Best wishes, and please visit our festival website which has just been fully updated to reflect the new season in April 2019. Visit:  www.lansdownsummer.com

Greetings,
Haydn Rawstron
