...desires for passion, her resistance to change, her assertions of power in a male-dominated religion and male-dominated world and her constant struggle to find beauty in a harsh and unforgiving terrain. The saints that Carmen addresses have given her solace and guidance through the years, from Saint Liberata, the patron saint of abused women represented as a crucified female martyr, to Saint Theresa of Lisieux, who teaches Carmen to find beauty in adversity...
...increasingly so. Over his working life--roughly 50 years--Tiepolo didn't use any narratives in his painting that weren't already familiar. There are the figures from antiquity (Achilles, Dido, Alexander, Scipio), the heroes and heroines out of Renaissance literature (Rinaldo and Armida from Tasso's epic Gerusalemme liberata), the biblical patriarchs and Madonnas and martyrs, the allegorical figures of Virtue or Envy or the Four Continents, the flocks of putti as dense as pigeons in the piazza. All these had swarmed across every painted surface in Venice for generations before Tiepolo. But he reinvented them in terms...
...play Amadeus recently won five Tony Awards. Mozart last year led all composers in the number of new listings in the Schwann record catalogue, and record companies are assiduously exploring the nooks and crannies of the composer's output in search of further repertory-the oratorio La Betulia Liberata, for example, or the opera Mitridate, Re di Ponto, both written when Mozart was an adolescent.

Mother prayed and I heard her say, 'Oh God, let me die an hour before my daughter because I could not stand to see her die.' We spoke of many things, important things. When they pulled us out, I felt my mother...
Some weeks later, the duke goes to Maurizio's tobacco shop to deliver 800 million lire ($925,000) in ransom. Soon Giovanna is released and reunited with her parents. They sing the triumphant trio Alfin ci ritroviam! (At last we are reunited!). The Chorus then sings the plaintive Benche liberata sia, Daniel ha rapito il suo cuore ribelle (Though freed is she, Daniel has kidnaped her rebellious heart). The police raid Maurizio's apartment, and he is carted...
