House Deragon

In the early 1950's, the comic book industry was relatively new. It was an experimental time, when many different genres were being explored. Romance, war, westerns, sci-fi and horror books were all being put out by various companies. At the time DC was searching for new directions, so they decided to try their hand at the horror genre. It was doing very successful at EC comics, and several other companies had horror titles out at the time as well.

So it was that the first issue of House of Mystery came out, December 1951/January 1952. It had no host, and would feature several short, spooky stories that usually ended with a logical explanation for the supernatural. The title did relatively well, and ran with this formula until the late 1950's. Somewhere, a little bit before its hundredth issue, it went sci-fi. This is around the same time everyone's favorite doctor, Fredric Wertham, caused an uproar with his infamous book, Seduction of the Innocent. Soon after its release, the Catholic Comics Code appeared, causing hassles for the entire comics industry, and pretty much putting EC comics out of business. This isn't fact, but my opinion, that rather than deal with the negative publicity of a horror title, DC decided it would simply be easier to make the switch to sci-fi.

is an occult and horror-themed ongoing comic book anthology series based on the classic series that ran from 1951 to 1983. It is written by Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges (writers of the Eisner-nominated ). It debuted in July 2008, published by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics. It features a different story each issue, told by people trapped in a "purgatory-like" House of Mystery. They are gathered in the house bar where everyone must pay for their drinks with stories, and no one can leave without being picked up by the house's mysterious coachman. None of the house's occupants are sure why some people might get to leave and others not, so each person's stay is at least ostensibly eternal until the coachman inexplicably turns up to take them away. This doesn't stop some of the inhabitants from trying to get out. One of the characters in the series, Cain (of ), continually attempts to return to the House of Mystery, his home in the Dreaming (a fictional place; a comic book location in the DC Comics Universe; the domain of Dream of the Endless in Neil Gaiman's ). Issue #18 is entitled "Academics", part three of the five-part story arc, " The Beauty of Decay."

Étrange destin que celui de cet Ange de Nisida de Gaetano Donizetti qui figure sur aucune liste de ses opéras… et pour cause ! Voulant fuir des problèmes avec la censure italienne, Donizetti décide de faire présenter cet opéra, dans une adaptation française, à Paris. Les répétitions commencent en 1840, mais elles sont bientôt arrêtées à la suite de la faillite de la troupe. Donizetti réutilisa une grande partie de son ouvrage pour composer La Favorite. C’est un peu le même cas de figure que Rossini réutilisant Le Voyage à Reims pour le refondre dans Le Comte Ory.
