During this fight, Tyson, who was going through a period of psychological and athletic difficulties, lost control due to frustration over not being able to defeat Holyfield, who was dominating the match. At one point in the third round, Tyson, visibly frustrated and irritated, bit Holyfield's right ear, tearing off a significant portion of the cartilage.

referee Mills Lane stopped the fight and sent Holyfield to the doctor for an inspection. After a brief evaluation, the fight resumed, but Tyson bit Holyfield's left ear again, this time with a lighter bite, but still equally severe. At that point, the referee decided to disqualify Tyson, and Holyfield was declared the winner by disqualification.

During the 2009 Champions League quarter-final between Barcelona and Chelsea, several controversial incidents occurred. The most notable was in the 93rd minute when referee Tom Henning Øvrebø did not award a penalty to Chelsea after a foul on Florent Malouda. This decision led to furious protests from Chelsea players, who felt it was a clear penalty. Additionally, Barcelona's equalizing goal, scored by Samuel Eto'o, was debated, with Chelsea supporters arguing that the referee had favored Barcelona throughout the match. Øvrebø faced heavy criticism for his performance, which many believed showed bias towards Barcelona. After the match, Chelsea players like John Terry and Didier Drogba voiced their anger, with Drogba famously calling the refereeing a "disgrace." Despite the controversy, Barcelona advanced to the final, where they won the Champions League. The match remains one of the most debated in football history, with Chelsea still claiming they were "robbed" by the referee.

The musical is made up of many pieces as if it were a puzzle. The first topic is acting. In a musical, the role played is fundamental, in fact it is she who tells the story. However, the acting part is not always the most abundant, in fact it happens in many musicals, not only theatrical but also cinematographic, that the most abundant part is precisely that of the singing.

Ceci

Music in musicals is a fundamental element that integrates songs, dances and dialogues to tell a story. The melodies and lyrics of the songs express emotions and develop narrative themes, while the choreography and dance give visual energy to the performance. Each musical number is designed to advance the plot, characterize the characters and engage the audience. The musical mixes different musical styles, such as jazz, pop, classical music, and uses orchestral or electronic arrangements to create atmosphere and emotional intensity. The combination of music, acting and dance is what makes the musical a unique experience.

Diana

The connection between art and musicals is deeply rooted in the way visual and performing arts combine to create a rich, immersive experience.

Set Design (Scenography):

A crucial component of any musical is the set design, which is a visual art in itself. The set creates the physical world in which the story takes place, helping to establish the time period, location, and mood.

Costume Design:

Costumes are another critical intersection of art and musical. Costume designers create the clothing that characters wear, which helps define their personalities, social status, and character arcs.

this also includes

Lighting Design,

Choreography and Dance

Artistic Direction and Vision

Asia

Dance is a really important part in musicals, in fact every piece of music is accompanied by a dance part, in fact musical performers must be very good because they have to both sing and dance at the same time

Theater universities are based on multiple nuances of acting. One of the main ones are emotions, to convey something to someone you must certainly make them understand what the character you are talking about feels. Furthermore, in a theater university you learn how to manage our body, an open or closed body, facial expression and the movements you have to make with your hands. In theater schools, theater history, stage writing, dubbing, direction, acting, diction and voice education, stage movement and music are studied. THE AUDITION INCLUDES: The performance from memory of a monologue in Italian taken from a theatrical text of your choice, classic or contemporary (Shakespeare, Goldoni, Ibsen, Pirandello, etc.). Boys are not allowed to present monologues of female characters and vice versa.

Shakespeare's father was a beer taster. In fact, when John Shakespeare arrived in Stratford he began to do various jobs, until in 1556 he became an official taster responsible for bread and liquor. He then managed to marry the daughter of an aristocrat, Mary Arden, but his social climb ended soon due to accumulated debts. After this curious way of earning a small amount of money, enough to buy a house and pay for his son's studies, Shakespeare wrote many dramatic works that have entered the history of the theater such as Hamlet, Macbeth or Romeo and Juliet. These works made Shakespeare famous. The father figure reappears later in one of his best works: Hamlet is in fact the ghost of his father who reveals that he was killed by his brother. Shakespeare has always fascinated me because starting from a situation of absolute poverty he becomes a truly famous character.

Uno dei primi musei a riaprire dopo il confinamento è il museo Marmottan Monet. Durante una visita al museo, dove si trova la più grande collezione al mondo di opere di Claude Monet, mi sono trovata di fronte ad uno dei suoi primi capolavori: Impressione, Sole nascente.
Dipinto nel 1872-73, è senza dubbio uno dei quadri più noti di Claude Monet, ma anche uno dei più noti della storia dell'arte, poiché ha dato il nome al movimento impressionista.

Se quest'opera è una pietra miliare nella storia della pittura, ha comunque richiesto solo poche ore di lavoro a Claude Monet e rimane oggi un'opera fondante per la carriera di questo pittore eccezionale, uno dei leader del movimento impressionista. Nato nel 1840, Claude Monet è all'origine, con i suoi amici Sisley, Pissarro, Renoir e molti altri, della nascita di questa corrente antiaccademica a metà degli anni 1870. La scelta dei temi, il tocco visibile, l'espressione del movimento, tante caratteristiche che hanno scioccato la critica dell'epoca. Eppure l'impressionismo, e il suo rappresentante più illustre Monet, passerà alla storia e i nfluenzerà un'intera generazione di nuovi artisti.

Ma torniamo a questo quadro, che Claude Monet aveva originariamente chiamato: Vue du Havre (Veduta di Le Havre) . Scelse di esporlo nell'aprile del 1874, per la prima mostra della Società anonima di pittori, scultori e incisori. Un gruppo di trenta artisti, la maggior parte dei quali non condivideva le opinioni convenzionali della giuria del Salon ufficiale, ha deciso di allestire una propria mostra nei saloni del fotografo Nadar al 35, boulevard des Capucines a Parigi.

Più tardi, Claude Monet ricorderà questa prima mostra da Nadar e confiderà a Maurice Guillemot, giornalista della Revue illustrée:

"Il paesaggio è solo un'impressione, e istantanea... Avevo mandato qualcosa fatto a Le Havre, dalla mia finestra, il sole nella nebbia e in primo piano alcuni alberi di navi che puntavano... Mi è stato chiesto il titolo per il catalogo, non poteva passare per una vista di Le Havre, ho risposto: "Metti Impressione". Edmond Renoir, che ha scritto il catalogo della mostra, lo ha completato con "Sole nascente".

Il titolo è dato! Monet non è il primo a usare questo terminedi "impressione", ma la sua pittura lo renderà popolare. Sopratutto anche grazie ai commenti ironici del critico d'arte del Charivari, Louis Leroy, che nel 1874 scrisse un articolo beffardo su questa prima mostra dei futuri impressionisti. In esso, Leroy individuò un particolare dipinto di Monet e scrisse:

Cosa rappresenta questo quadro? Impressione! Impressionante, ne ero sicuro. Ho anche pensato, visto che sono impressionato, che ci deve essere qualche impressione.

Ha persino intitolato il suo articolo La mostra degli impressionisti, aggiungendo che "La carta da parati allo stato embrionale è ancora più fatta di questo porto turistico", prendendo in giro il tocco veloce di Monet, che dà alla tela un aspetto incompiuto.

Ora guardiamo il dipinto più in dettaglio, soprattutto il sole. È senza dubbio il punto centrale della composizione. Si distingue per le sue tonalità calde e nitide, in mezzo all'atmosfera fredda e nebbiosa del porto. Sono stati effettuati numerosi studi su questo sole splendente. Alcuni storici hanno espresso dubbi sulla sua natura: sole al tramonto o nascente? Così, nel 2014, il Museo Marmottan ha pubblicato uno studio approfondito sulla datazione dell'opera. Grazie allo studio dei dati topografici, come le maree, le previsioni del tempo e le traiettorie celesti, è certo che si tratta proprio del sole nascente. Gli inquirenti hanno persino proposto una data precisa per la sua esecuzione: il 13 novembre 1872 alle 7:35 del mattino, 30 minuti dopo l'alba. Claude Monet dipinse questo quadro in poche ore, dalla sua stanza d'albergo sul Quai de Southampton a Le Havre. Non sapeva allora che avrebbe segnato una vera e propria svolta nella Storia dell'Arte!

Sullo sfondo, possiamo vedere il porto industriale di Le Havre. Nato nel 1840 a Le Havre e cresciuto lì, la città assume per Monet un carattere speciale, il porto è un paesaggio che conosce bene e uno dei suoi temi preferiti. Lo rappresenta qui in questa marina industriale, una vera e propria rappresentazione della Rivoluzione Industriale allora molto recente, e che affascina molti artisti. Il fumo delle fabbriche offusca la luce del sole nascente, cambiando l'atmosfera e i colori e dando l'impressione di una nebbia londinese. In primo piano spicca la sagoma di una barca occupata da due pescatori, in un mare la cui acqua ha un colore blu-verde. Un po' più avanti, una seconda barca rafforza l'effetto della profondità.

Monet non è il primo a dipingere albe e tramonti sulla città. Si è ispirato in particolare ad alcune opere di William Turner, anch'egli precursore dell'arte moderna. In Impressione, Sole nascente, Monet non esita a rappresentare non una scogliera o una spiaggia, ma un porto, per di più industriale.

Con Impressione, Sole nascente, troviamo diversi temi cari a Monet: l'illustrazione del boom industriale del XIX secolo, la rappresentazione dell'acqua, l'iscrizione della silhouette umana nel paesaggio. Ma soprattutto, il dipinto esprime appieno la ricerca essenziale di Monet: la resa del momento, la percezione luminosa dell'atmosfera che circonda le cose. Sul fondo della tela, sull'acqua, Monet arriva ad aggiungere lunghi tocchi di contrasto, a rappresentare il movimento dell'acqua e i suoi riflessi.

Questo modo di mettere la pittura sulla tela è veramente rivoluzionario, e tutta la pittura di Monet ha un aspetto rivoluzionario. Questo è particolarmente evidente se lo si confronta con una scena simile dipinta qualche anno dopo dal suo maestro Eugène Boudin, che era considerato come avendo uno stile moderno!

Impressione, Sole nascente passerà di mano in mano, in modo singolare. Dopo la mostra, il dipinto fu venduto nel 1874 al collezionista Ernest Hoschedé, per il considerevole prezzo di 800 franchi (l'equivalente di 3000dell'epoca). Monet non sa ancora che presto amerà e alla fine sposerà Alice Hoschedé, la moglie di Ernest. Quando Hoschedé va in bancarotta, la sua collezione viene dispersa in una vendita. Per Impressione, le offerte non superano i 210 franchi. L'acquirente lo vende poi a Donop de Monchy, il suo ultimo proprietario privato. Nel 1957, Impression, sole nascente viene lasciato in eredità all'Accademia di Belle Arti e conservato al Marmottan Museum dov'è stato rubato nel 1985¹!

Fortunatamente, è stato recuperato cinque anni dopo, nel 1990, e può ancora essere ammirato nel museo parigino, dove vi consiglio vivamente di andare, perché al momento non c'è nessuno!

Se non potete venire a Parigi ancora, vi raccomando di fermarvi la prossima volta che venite, e di fare una visita guidata con la vostra guida preferita 😉
