Il Grande Reset Swhab

La gestione della pandemia di Covid-19 lascerà un'impronta minacciosa e duratura sul futuro dell'umanità, al di là degli aspetti sanitari. In questo libro Diego Fusaro, filosofo del "pensare altrimenti" e celebre voce fuori dal coro nel dibattito italiano, mostra come l'emergenza sia diventata un vero e proprio metodo di governo. Il potere sfrutta la paura del contagio per ristrutturare in senso oligarchico e autoritario tanto la società quanto l'economia e la politica. Mentre diritti e libertà fondamentali vengono sospesi. Le classi dominanti hanno approfittato dell'emergenza epidemiologica per accelerare tutti i processi già avviati nella globalizzazione capitalistica: il superamento delle già fragili democrazie parlamentari, la neutralizzazione del dissenso, la riorganizzazione autoritaria dei rapporti di forza, la distruzione programmatica delle classi lavoratrici e dei ceti medi all'ombra dei signori della finanza e dei colossi dell'e-commerce e del web.

Medieval England exerted a strong influence on Johann Simon Mayr, especially during his final proto-Romantic period. Alfredo il Grande was to be one of his last operas, with a narrative that takes us to a land under threat of war with the Vikings. Escaping capture, Alfred the Great travels incognito, ultimately defeating the enemy and rescuing his beloved Alsvita. With its grandiose choruses and sensuous melodies, this opera was conceived on a monumental scale and proved both impressive at its premiere and influential on the next generation of bel canto composers, making a substantial contribution to the development of the melodramma romantico.

The Donizetti Opera Festival in Bergamo continues to present early works by Donizetti that have been unjustly neglected for decades. Alfredo il Grande, a love story that explores the defeat of the invading Danish army by the victorious Britons, was first performed in 1823 and was revived in this production two centuries later. Skilfully orchestrated, it features memorable arias for the hero Alfredo, and includes a superb concluding rondo for the heroine Amalia, as well as a radiant quintet. The opera is heard here in Edoardo Cavalli’s 2021 critical edition. Gramophone called it ‘a vocally accomplished performance’ and ‘a fine revival’.
