Opening weekend at the Italian Spoleto festival this past weekend had a heavy dose of the French, both old (La Seconde Surprise de l’Amour) and new (Perthus). And lest we forget everyone’s favorite Frenchman (or at least honorary European), Robert Wilson, bringing some much needed international luster to the event. Here's a link.

Spoleto Goes Gallic

Spoleto Reunited
This is from an article in the NYTimes about the American and Italian Spoleto festivals. Read more here.
"The Spoleto Festival U.S.A. and its long-lost partner in Italy, the Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, Umbria, have announced that they will renew an association that ended 15 years ago.
The two arts festivals say they are discussing at least one joint opera production for the summer of 2009. Spoleto U.S.A.’s music director, Emmanuel Villaume, is to conduct at the Italian festival this summer. And there is even talk about forming a single orchestra, though that possibility so far appears remote. Beyond that, officials refused to offer more details."
