KinoKinoKino und mehr Kultur: SOMMERTHEATER
(nicht im Audioteil der Sendung)
Tampa Theatre ( www.tampatheatre.org)
Neue Filme in USA und Deutschland:
"Boyhood" ist ein ueber Jahre entstandener Film von Richard Linklater, wobei er eine fiktive Familie und das "Coming of Age" des Sohnes sensible beobachtet.
Sehr zu empfehlen.
"Die Karte meiner Traeume" ist ein Kanadisch-Franzoesischer Film von dem Regisseur des Kultfilmes Amelie, der die Geschichte eines kleinen Jungen erzaehlt, der fuer eine technische Erfindung einen grossen Preis des Smithsonian Institutes in Washington DC erhalten soll. Da er nicht glaubt, man werde ihn mit seinen zehn Jahren ernstnehmen, macht er sich ganz alleine auf den Weg aus dem amerikanischen Westen in die Hauptstadt, um dies doch zu testen. Ein mutiger Protagonist und eine wunderschoene Geschichte fuer die ganze Familie ( in 2-D oder 3-D). Helena Bonham-Carter spielt die verschrobene insektenversessene Wissenschaftlerin, Mutter des Helden.
Filme, die besonders in Deutschland Bezug nehmen, "Einmal Hans mit Scharfer Sosse", erzaehlt amuesant wie ein tuerkischer Vater seiner juengere Tochter ( die ihm ihre Schwangerschaft und damit notwendige sofortige Heirat verheimlicht) nicht vor der Heirat der aelteren weit waehlerischeren und eingedeutschten Tochter die Heiratsgenehmigung erhalten kann. Somit muss fuer die aeltere Tochter sofort ein "Hans" aber mit etwas mehr "Kick" zum Heiraten her. Eine amuesante Komoedie aus Deutsch-tuerkischer Sicht erzaehlt.
"Wir sind die Neuen": Mit 60 eine WG zugruenden und ueber eine junge dreier WG zu ziehen? Da steht die Einstellung der 70er Jahre bei den Alten im schraegen Gegensatz zu den braven und konservativen Jungen Studenten. Wer haette das gedacht? Auch hier sollte eine Komoedie uns mit viel Humor zum Denken bringen, Einvernehmen, soviel steht fest, muss von beiden Seiten kommen.
Aus Frankreich kommen auch schoene Komoedien diesen Sommer.
Dazu gehoert "Monsieur Claude und seine Toechter" , in der einem sehr konservativen franzoesichen Advokaten die vier Toechter gehoerig auf die Probe stellen, indem sie Tolernz fuer ihre so multikulturellen Maenner fordern, eine jede einen anderen Herrn mit Migrationshintergrund als Ehemann : Ein Chinese, einen Algerier, und einen Juden, und zu guter letzt die vierte Tochter nun einen Afrikaner praesentierend. Eine "wunderbar bissige Komoedie" beschreibt die deutsche Kritik und hat damit absolut recht, diesen Film von Regisseur Christian Clavier. Herrlich komisch, und mit bestem Ausgang!
Ein traeumerischer Zeichentrickfilm "Wie der Wind sich hebt" ist ein sehenswertes Anime-Meisterwerk. Aus Japan in den USA und Deutschland: von Hayao Miyazaki.
In deutschen Programmkinos gab es Blicke auf den deutschen Film (Etwa Edgar Reitz´ hervorragende Einfuehrung in seine Hunsrueckserie "Heimat", die uns den Ausgangspunkt zu dieser langen und mit der Auswanderung von vielen Hunsrueckern nach Brazilen endenen deutschen Geschichte "Die Andere Heimat" von 2014, sehenswert!!!!) bevor die grosse Sommerpause anbricht und bis Ende August alles schlummern laesst was Kinos wie Wiesbadens Caligari und andere staedtische subventionierte Kulturinstitutionen betrifft.
Tampa Theatre spielt den Sommer durch, mit den Sommerfamilienfilmen sonntags um 15:00 uhr jeweils. Der Film wechselt sonst einmal die Woche, und so schoen wie die alten Filmtheater wie das Fox in Atlanta, und auch in Deutschland das Jugendstil Caligari Theater, das leider renovierte , aber zum Buchladen umfunktionierte Metropol in Bonn, sind keine neuen Theater. Hingehen, unterstuetzen!
Angelaufen in Deutschland sind die grossen US-Filme wie "22 Jumpstreet", der recht komisch ist, und somit auch fuer deutsches Publikum spassig, nach wie vor "Maleficent" mit der Dame Angelina Jolie, die bald wieder mit ihrem Partner Brad Pitt vor der Kamera stehen wird.
Auch endlich in Europa angekommen, "How to Tame your Dragon II" - als Drachenzaehmen Leicht Gemacht". Und natuerlich fuer alle Teens "Starstruck", die neue Lovestory, in Deutschland heisst sie "Das Schicksal ist ein mieser Verraeter".
In der Vorschau ein interessantes deutsches Drama "Im Labyrinth des Schweigens", wo die 50er Jahre perfekt auch bildnerisch dargestellt werden, und es darum geht alles im zweiten Weltkrieg Getane zum erstenmal vor den Staatsanwalt zu bringen. Die Verbrechen der NS Zeit durften im Wirtschaftswunder nicht verschwiegen werden, so der junge Staatsanwalt, der die Ermittlungen nach Uebeltaetern wie Mengele u.a. einleitete. Spannend , diese neuere Deutsche Geschichte von Deutschen zum Film verarbeitet. (Nach dem oesterreichischen "Lore" hier eine gute Fortsetzung der juengsten Geschichtsverarbeitung.) Um die 50er Jahre geht es zur Zeit auf vielen verschiedenen Ebenen, so auch im Sommertheater und auf Lokalebene ( Wiesbaden).

Sarasota favorite Marco Nisticò (The Barber of Seville) will return as Tonio. Maestro Victor DeRenzi will conduct and Stephanie Sundine will direct.
A perfect first opera for new operagoers, the less than two-hour Pagliacci will be followed by a new addition to the fall season.

However, when the King is seduced by the alluring Queen Shemakha, both he and his country meet an unhappy end. Once a favorite show piece for coloratura sopranos like Lily Pons and Beverly Sills, this rarely heard masterpiece by the composer of Scheherazade is a fairy tale filled with exotic and beautiful music such as the famous aria "Hymn to the Sun."

Verdi's powerful drama recounts the ill-fated attraction between Don Carlos and Elisabeth, the wife of his father, King Philip of Spain. Set in Renaissance Spain dominated by the inquisition, this powerful drama is one of opera’s great masterpieces.

ABOUT SARASOTA OPERA
Based in Florida’s beautiful Gulf Coast, Sarasota Opera is approaching its 55th consecutive season. In 1960, the company began presenting chamber-sized repertoire in the historic 320-seat Asolo Theater on the grounds of Sarasota’s Ringling Museum of Art. Recognizing the need for a theater more conducive to opera, the company purchased the former A.B. Edwards Theater in downtown Sarasota in 1979 and first performing in it in 1984 as the Sarasota Opera House. The theater has just undergone a $20-million renovation and rehabilitation enhancing audience amenities, while updating the technical facilities including increasing the size of the orchestra pit. The theater, which reopened in March 2008, has been called “one of America’s finest venues for opera” by Musical America.
Since 1983 the company has been under the artistic leadership of Victor DeRenzi. Since then the company has garnered international attention with its Masterwork Revivals Series, which presents neglected works of artistic merit, as well as the Verdi Cycle producing the complete works of Giuseppe Verdi. Recognizing the importance of training, Maestro DeRenzi founded the Apprentice Artist and Studio Artist programs. Sarasota Opera also maintains a commitment to education through its Invitation to Opera performances for local schools and the unique Sarasota Youth Opera program.
Sarasota Opera is sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Programs are supported in part by an award the Tourist Development Tax through the Board of County Commissioners, the Tourist Development Council and the Sarasota County Arts Council. Additional funding is provided by the City of Sarasota and the County of Sarasota.
