Jetzt machen wir den Sprung in eine deutsche Veranstaltung in Florida und lassen uns von Christl und Werner Winzeck ihre Kindererinnerungen an Weihnachten erzaehlen.
Tja, wieder gibt es wieder Weihnachtsplaetzchen, die den Kindern am meisten Spass gemachte haben. Karpfen oder Weihnachtsgans mit Kloessen.
. …. Fuer andere sind die Erinnerungen mit Wehmut verbunden, den Briefe aus der Gefangenschaft verbinden sich auch mit den Feiertagen, und wie Chritiane Frerichs sagt, mit dem Bewusstsein, dass es uns doch sehr gut geht.
(Hoeren Sie den Brief aus der Gefangenschaft im Audioteil unserer Sendung)
Auch ein Waisenhaus war nach dem Krieg noch ein Ort, wo die Kinder sich ueber unerwarteten Zuspruch sehr sehr freuen konnten, so die gereimte Erzaehlung aus der Nordamerikanischen Wochenpost: im Marburger Waisenhaus im Jahre 1945 passierte folgendes:

Ich darf mich bei allen mitwirkenden Damen ganz herzlich bedanken und wuensche auch ihnen,dass sie eine besonders schoene Vorweihnachtszeit haben. Ein Wiederhoeren gibt es mit meinen ehemaligen Telefondamen noch einmal am Weihnachtstag, unserer Sendung am 22.12.2013. Da wird es dann um Weihnachten mit Tannenbaum gehen und dessen ganz besonderer geschichte. Fuer heute sage ich Advent Advent, ein Lichtlein brennt, erst eins dann zwei dann drei dann vier, dann, ja dann steht das Christkind vor der Tuer.

Viel Spass im Kino.
NEU:
Saturday, February 21st, will be the Sarasota premiere of The Golden Cockerel by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Based on a story by Pushkin, The Golden Cockerel is the tale of the bumbling King Dodon who enlists the help of a magical Golden Cockerel to protect his country from attack. 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."

Beloved Sisters ist der Englische Titel des deutschen Films "geliebte Schwestern", ein wunderbarer und historisch interessanter Film zum Leben des passionierten Dichters Friedrich Schiller, der im Gegensatz zu seinem Zeitgenossen Goethe ein sehr kompliziertes Arbeite- und wie wir im Film erfahren auch Liebesleben hatte. Die beiden verarmten adeligen Schwestern, die er liebt, haben mit Vernunftehe und besonders mit einem Leben in der Gesellschaft zu kaempfen, das ihnen kaum Freiraum laesst, Da alle drei ueberleben und kreativ sein muessen, bedarf es vieler Winkelzuege, damit dies fuer Schiller bis zu seinem fruehen Tod mit 45 Jahren als grosse und komplizierte Liebesgeschichte moeglich ist. Sehenswert!
Interstellar ist ein neuer Film zum Thema Weltraum-Utopie. Man sitzt zwei einhalb Stunden gebannt und verfolgt dem schicksal einer immer staubigeren Erde, einer kontrollierenden Regierung und eines geheimen Weltraumprogrammes , NASA, das einen neuen Planeten suchen will um die Voelker auf Erden zu retten. Matthew MaConnahy, Jessica Chastain und andere nehmen uns mit auf eine abendteuerliche reise.
Dumb and Dumber? Bitte nicht fragen, Klamauk, den man sich sparen kann.
The Theory of Everything: wunderbarer Film ueber das Leben und Wirken von Astrophysiker mit ALS, Stephen Hawking, sehenswert! Ein Liebesgeschichte des brillianten Dr. Stefen Hawking, nach der Biografie seiner ersten frau. Was es allerdings mit seinen Theorien von Allem, der geschichte der Zeit auf sich hat, erzaehlt bzw erklaert sich nicht. Dass er in vielem krisen und alles was wir von Lou Gehrigs Syndrom wissen in den Wind schlaegt und dieser Wissenschaftler mit 77 noch lebt ist ein Wunder, das dieser Film mit der hervorragenden schauspielkunst ins rechte Licht rueckt.

Dolphin Tale 2 kann nur allen in West Florida wo das Aquarium mit diesen beiden schlauen Delfinen steht, naemlich Clearwater Marine Aquarium, eine ganz ganz grosse Freude bedeuten. fruehe Stimmen sagen, noch besser als Teil Eins, na denn, bitte Kind und Kegel nehmen, erst ins Kino und dann so bald wie moeglich ins Aquarium zu den beiden grauen Freunden. Was kleine Fans sind, sind morgen die Spender einer noch tolleren Aquariumsanlage.
Deutschlands Beitrag zu den Oscars in diesem Jahr ist der Film Dominik Grafs "Die Geliebten Schwestern" zur Liebe zweier Schwestern mit dem Dichter Friedrich Schiller, ob er allerdings ins Ausland oder gar zu den 5 nominierten Filmen in dieser Kategorie kommt, ist fraglich. Ein huebscher Kostuemfilm ist er allemal. http://youtu.be/hlEiBRQF534
Boyhood laeuft weiterhin in den Kinos und der Film Chef ist auch wieder da, einige neue solchen, naemlich foodtrucks, kommen in Florida bald zum Einsatz, darunter auch ein deutscher.
Vergessen Sie nicht sowohl Fuehrungen als auch Filme, jeweils einer pro Woche in manchen der Programmkinos zu besuchen. Tampa Theatre und Burns Court Society gehoeren dazu.
Fuer besonders Fernsehfans kam diese Woche die Nachricht, dass der immer charmante Schauspieler Joachim "Blacky" Fuchsberger mit 77 Jahren verstarb. Man wird ihn vermissen.
100 Foot Journey Wer noch nicht bei Madame Mallory war, der solle sich unbedingt den Film the "100 Foot Journey" ansehen. Indisches wuerzt die Franzoesische Kueche, aber auch die Maiden darin.
Denzel Washington mischt Gewalt mit seinem selbstsicheren Stil in dem Drama The Equalizer.
Gone Girl bringt einen neuen Dreh in die Kidnappiungstory, die man nicht so recht glaubt.
Skeleton Twins ist die Geschichte zweier trauriger Geschwister, die sich gegenseitig stuetzen ( muessten) und dies doch nicht hinbekommen.
Viel Spass im Kino.
NEU:
My Old Lady - Schauspiel auf die Leinwand gezaubert, mit Dame Maggie Smith, eine alte Dame sitzt als Mieterin in einer Wohnung , die mit ihr weiterverkauft wurde, Wohnrecht macht sie zum Stein des Anstosses, mit dem der Neubesitzer leben muss.
The Judge - Meisterleistung Robert Downy Jr. , Robert Duvall - Oscarwuerdige Vater-Sohn-Beziehung, Sohn muss seinen Vater verteidigen, trotz aller Differenzen finden beide zu einander.
You're not You- meisterhaft gespielt, Hillary Swank - Oscarwuerdig ( thema ALS)
Pride - britische Komoedie
Fury - in England, dem Land wo die Panzerwaffe entwickelt wurde, ist dieser deutsche Kriegsfilm gedreht, um ein Panzerregiment der amerikaner, das gegen die deutsche Wunderwaffe kaum eine Ueberlebenschance hat, mit Brad Pitt in der Hauptrolle.
Men, Women and Children - mit Adam Sandler, nur Eltern moegen hieraus etwas lernen...
Vorschau:
Birdman - mit Michael Keaton, einem Soundtrack aus Schlagzeug und cello. Super. Das gefuehl von New York total getroffen. Sehenswert!
St. Vincent - Wunderbarer Film mit Bill Murray als widerwilligen Held.
Keeanu Reeves als John Wick uebt Rache weit und breit, etwas fuer hargesottene Actionfans...
Vorschau:
The Imitation Game : hochinteressanter historischer Film zum Enigma "Puzzle", besonders fuer die Freunde der Mathematik/Informatik) und der Weltkriegsgeschichte, blieb 50 Jahre ein Geheimnis, nun Deutsch-Englische Wiederaufbereitung.

The Hobbit by Dean Burry (Sarasota Youth Opera)
_________________________
Pagliacci Premiere 31.10.2014 (nicht im Audioteil)
Wie immer eine Augenweide! Pagliacci gehen zwei konzertante Stuecke vorraus, die herrliche Musik bieten, leider fuer das Publikum nicht angekuendigt, aber eine wunderschoene Einfuehrung in Verdis lyrische Faehigkeiten, die wir zumeist nur mit Oper in Verbindung setzen.
Nach einer kurzen Pause kommt die erwartete Overtuere und die musikalischen Themen fuehren uns in das Vorspiel ein. Tonio (Marco Nistico) ist in "Maske" seines spaeter als "Spiel im Spiel" einem unschuldigen Publikum ( dem herrlichen Opernchor) praesentierten Eiffersuchtdramas. Canio (Michael Robert Hendrik) kommt in Akt I auf seinem Wagen hereingefahren, der Held, der bald zum Narren wird, wie das Leben spielt. Die Stimme des Tenors, den man aus Mice and Men kennt, schwillt erst in den grossen Arien zu voller Kraft, die seines Widersachers und dann Gehilfen Tonio dagegen nicht so sehr. Die junge Frau (Veronica Mitina) Nedda, die nun als Studio Artist eine Hauptrolle uebernimmt, kommt besonders zusammen mit Ihrem Geliebten, Silvio (Brian James Myer) einem jungen Barriton aus Nevada in schoenstem Liebesduett zur Geltung. Peppe (Nathan Munson) ueberzeugt stimmlich. Das Ende kommt wie immer viel zu schnell, und man denkt noch lange an die besonders gute Schauspielkunst aller, und besonders die Choreografie der kleinsten Darsteller. Wunderbar, auch die Nach-Party im Hof der Sarasota Oper gab allen die Moeglichkeit ihre Lieblingssaenger selbst zu beglueckwuneschen. Bravi! Man darf auf die Wintersaison gespannt sein.

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.
