Teatro La Fenice

Participants from a number of unions called on La Scala to increase worker pay by 15% and demanded to meet with the board of directors.

Strikes have also been threatened at Venice's La Fenice over general discontent with worker pay in the Italian arts industry.

Yet another orchestra has suspended its season due to financial difficulties.

Unless the organization can acquire $10 million in the next month, the Phoenix Symphony in Arizona will perform its last concert on November 1st.

And later on, I think we've been to Vienna.

uh seeing like uh stars from uh the the dubton records so the charles bradley sharon jones uh they're now not with us anymore so it's very special i think that's to me personally that's uh i had a chance to listen to them live uh the Sugarman 3 like that was that was called like a super solo review and they presented like five artists uh from the label and anti-ballas yes that's right okay for four bands it was a long one it took like oh like over four hours the whole gig and they organized it uh uh I think it was in an old building, beautiful one of Venice Opera, I think.

I think so.

I don't remember right now, but that was back in the times.

To conclude this 399th episode of PD Heart, Pediatric Cardiology Today, we hear the lovely quartet from act two of the rarely heard Puccini opera, La Rondine, entitled Bevo al tuo fresco sorriso, in which the lead characters Magda, Ruggero, Lisette, and Prunier toast to love, youth, and the romance that's unfolding between Magda and the poet Ruggero.

And we hear it in a live performance from seven years ago with the singers Francesco Meli, Nadine Sierra, Serena Gamberoni, and Matteo Lippi in a live concert performance at Teatro La Fenice.

Thank you very much for joining me for this episode, and thanks once again to Dr. Divekar and Dr. Anderson.

I hope you all have a good week ahead.

And, you know, we could have, you know, we could have singing in it.

I mean, I, I don't know why we can't have a fla- I don't know why we can't have a La Fenice flash mob at the final reception.

Oh.

You know, during a, a, a bit of opera.

You, I know.

Well, yeah, we- we- we can, we can sp- we can fill the Ateneo Veneto for that.

We can probably fill La Fenice for that, yeah.

It would, for a month I think.

What is the most unusual load-in situation that you have ever seen?" I have a good one.

[laughs] I have so many, but the one that brings the, I always get a chuckle over, when I do shows at La Fenice in Venice, where there are no roads leading to the theater, just canals.

That's because all roads lead to Rome.

All roads do lead to Rome, [laughs] and not to Venice.

You have set sink.

I, uh, it's fantastic.

But, you know, when you have, uh, smaller opera houses, believe it or not, like La Fenice we were just talking about in Venice, uh, which by the way, I texted you the, the sho- [laughs] the shot of the loading dock there.

Um-
