Rachel Whiteread has created some of the most remarkable and resonant public sculptures of recent years. House (now demolished) cast in concrete the interior of a terraced house in London's East End. Holocaust Memorial is a moving memorial in Vienna to the victims of the holocaust in Austria. Yet she also frequently works on a domestic scale, casting in plaster and resin the spaces inside, around and beneath furniture, floors and staircases. Her art is a uniquely poetic response to the everyday, and to the haunting themes of memory and mortality. In this video profile Rachel Whiteread speaks about the ideas that prompted a number of her best-known sculptures, including Ghost, her first cast of the space inside a complete room, and Monument, which established a shimmering presence in London's Trafalgar Square during the summer of 2001
La Cenerentola è un dramma giocoso di Gioachino Rossini su libretto di Jacopo Ferretti. Il titolo originale completo è La Cenerentola, ossia La bontà in trionfo. Il soggetto fu tratto dalla celebre fiaba Cendrillon di Charles Perrault (1697), ma Ferretti si servì anche di due libretti d'opera: Cendrillon di Charles Guillaume Etienne per Nicolò Isouard (1810) e Agatina, o la virtù premiata di Francesco Fiorini per Stefano Pavesi (1814). L'opera fu composta in circa tre settimane e Rossini, come fece in altre occasioni, affidò ad un assistente (in questo caso Luca Agolini) la composizione dei recitativi secchi, delle arie di Alidoro (Vasto teatro è il mondo) e Clorinda (Sventurata! Mi credea) e del coro Ah, della bella incognita. La prima rappresentazione ebbe luogo il 25 gennaio 1817 al Teatro Valle di Roma. Il contralto Geltrude Righetti Giorgi, che era stata già la prima Rosina del Barbiere di Siviglia, cantò il ruolo della protagonista.

Han frigav slaverne i 1848. Han talte konge og regering imod. Han elskede sine samtidige koner lige højt. Han var farverig, han var enevældig, han var Danmarks sidste generalguvernør på De vestindiske Øer, hans navn var Peter von Scholten. Filmen om ham er en pragtfuld historie om storhed, magt og stædighed på den ene side, og om kærlighed, loyalitet og vemod på den anden. Den er et farverigt galleri af personer, der viser tiden, danskeren i det fremmede – og det sorte menneske i relief til det hvide.
