  • The Duality of Breath Yin and Yang

    Cultivating Inner Power

    By: Cheng Tong - May 13th, 2024

    The core concept in Daoist understanding of the breath is Qi (pronounced “chee”). Qi is not simply oxygen, but a subtle energy force believed to permeate all living things and the universe itself. It is the dynamic interplay of Yin and Yang, the fundamental polarities that govern existence. Deep, mindful breathing is seen as a way to cultivate and refine Qi, leading to improved health, inner peace, and a deeper connection to the Dao.

  • Madame Butterfly at Opera Philadelphia

    xxx

    By: Susan Hall - May 01st, 2024

    Opera Philadelphia is bringing us Madame Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini with a twist one imagines the composer would have liked. The title role of Cio-Cio-San is a two-hander, performed both by soprano Karen Chia-Ling Ho and a puppet created by Hua Hua Zhang.  In Anthony Minghella’s production, the puppet is Cio-Cio-San’s son. Now she is the exterior, public version of Butterfly, the one Lieutenant Pinkerton falls for and seduces and abandons. The director Ethan Heard and designer Yuki Izumihara came up with this notion.

    How It Got Away From the MFA

    By: Charles Giuliano - May 05th, 2024

In an epic pratfall the trustees under orders from the new director, Merrill Rueppel, turned it down. In a matter of weeks it was acquired by the National Gallery. The MFA later acquired two works by the abstract expressionist artist. Several years ago a Pollock, now owned by the Norton Museum, sold for $200 million.

    In the 1590s, wannabe playwrights Nick and Nigel Bottom fail to compete with theatrical powerhouse Will Shakespeare. Nick consults with soothsayer Nostradamus who tells him that musicals are the coming thing. The outcome is the world's first musical "Omelet." Hmmm.
