Three children - Jerry (bossy), Jimmy (hungry) and Kathleen (sensible) - find themselves standing in front of a bejewelled princess in the garden of an enchanted castle. It is the first day of their summer holidays. Is she really a princess? And if she isn't, what about her ring which makes the wearer invisible? This ring, combined with the children's appetite for exploring, sparks a tale full of vivid adventures and extraordinary characters. With ‘ugly-wugglies' on the loose, statues alive in the moonlight and crimes needing to be solved, there is never a dull moment. Imagination is powerful; magic is possible.

Er ist beileibe mehr, als der Komponist der „vier Jahreszeiten“. Hunderte von grösstenteils berühmten Instrumentalkonzerten hat er geschrieben, wohlbekannt ist seine herrliche Kirchenmusik — aber seine Opern, von denen er mehr als fünfzig geschrieben haben soll, wurden erst in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten wieder zu neuem Leben erweckt. Im Schaffen Vivaldis nimmt der Orlando furioso eine zentrale und sehr bedeutsame Stelle ein. Die gesamte Musik dieser Oper zeigt nicht allein die volle schöpferische Reife ihres Autors, ihre vorwiegenden Merkmale sind darüber hinaus die ausserordentliche musikalische Schönheit, das Interessante der Rezitative und das auf diese Weise zwischen den verschiedenen Teilen des dramatisch-musikalischen Geschehens geschaffene Gleichgewicht. Zu solch aussergewöhnlicher kompositorischer Leistung hat sicherlich die berühmte Themenvorlage als solche ebenso beigetragen, sowie die literarischen und dramatischen Qualitäten eines ausgezeichneten Librettos. Pier Luigi Pizzis Produktion des Orlando furioso in Verona markierte 1979 den Beginn der internationalen Beschäftigung mit dem Opernschaffen Antonio Vivaldis in unserer Zeit; zehn Jahre später brachte der Regisseur das Werk erneut an der San Francisco Opera heraus. Das kalifornische Publikum nahm die barock-prächtige Opernproduktion mit grossem Enthusiasmus auf, und die Tageszeitungen überschlugen sich ebenso wie die Fachpresse mit wahren Elogen über den Regisseur, seine Neuinszenierung, die vokale Besetzung sämtlicher Rollen wie die musikalische Qualität des gesamten Opernkunstwerks. Antonio Vivaldi ORLANDO FURIOSO San Francisco, San Francisco Opera, 1989

Germinal is one of the most striking novels in the French tradition. Widely regarded as Zola’s masterpiece, the novel describes the working conditions of French coalminers in the 1860s in harsh and realistic terms—it is visceral, graphic and unrelenting. Its strong socialist principles and vivid accounts of the miners’ strikes meant that the novel became a key symbol in the workers’ fight against oppression, with chants of 'Germinal! Germinal!’ resonating high above the author’s funeral.

Thomas More's Utopia stands out as one of the most striking political works ever written. Composed specifically as a response to Henry VIII's break with Rome, the book meditates on the perfect society, while indirectly critiquing the political and social ills of Tudor England. Containing thoughts on religious pluralism, a welfare state and women's rights, More's book was well ahead of its time, already hinting at later theories on communism and capitalism centuries before Marx, Engels and Smith.

'Were it not for shadows there would be no beauty.' In Praise of Shadows is an eloquent tribute to the austere beauty of traditional Japanese aesthetics. Through architecture, ceramics, theatre, food, women and even toilets, Tanizaki explains the essence of shadows and darkness, and how they are able to augment beauty. He laments the heavy electric lighting of the West and its introduction to Japan, and shows how the artificial, bright and polished aesthetic of the West contrasts unfavourably with the moody and natural light of the East. Dreamy, melancholic and mysterious, In Praise of Shadows is a haunting insight into a forgotten world.
