(original version)
In 1913, the directors of Vienna’s Karlstheater commissioned Puccini to compose a Viennese opera. By the time he finished the La Rondine, intended to be a more organic and entertaining version of the already popular “comic opera,” it was 1917 and World War I had broken out. As a result, the production debuted in Monte Carlo instead of Vienna.
Although it was not one of Puccini’s most celebrated pieces, this light-hearted and charming opera has become increasingly popular in the last few years with productions at the Met, the San Francisco Opera and, of course, Venice's famed opera house, La Fenice.
Filmed live during the January 2008 premiere, the production, directed by Graham Vick, features an outstanding international cast conducted by Carlo Rizzi.
The Fenice production was given a rousing review on Opera Chic, which noted: "Act I [was] commedia brillante, a sophisticated comedy from Hollywood's golden era that could have been made by Gregory La Cava or Jean Negulesco...Act II [was] a funny send-up -- with Jayne Mansfield look-alike super vixens, hawt sailors and giant Moulin Rouge pinup girls... and Act III [was] a minimalist, abstract beach...Vick adds a final scene -- Casablanca in reverse – giving depth to a truly problematic libretto. Fiorenza Cedolins [played] Magda with a strong dramatic presence, good looks and undeniable charisma."
Only presentation on Sunday November 23rd at 1PM and Wednesday December 3rd at 7PM at the MegaPlex Deux Montagnes, Pont Viau, Lacordaire, Taschereau and Marché Central
STARRING: Ruggero Lastouc, Fernando Portari, Magda de Civry, Fiorenza Cedolins Lisette, Sandra Pastrana Prunier, Emanuele Giannino, Rambaldo Fernandez, Stefano Antonucci Périchaud, George Mosley Gobin, Iorio Zennaro Crébillon

Forensic intelligence links an Mi6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille (Olga Kurylenko), a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organisation.
On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world's most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano (Joaquin Cosio). Using his associates in the organisation, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land.
In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene's sinister plan and stop his organisation.

Elizabeth n'était pas compatible, ses parents conçurent alors un troisième enfant dans l'espoir de sauver Joseph. Mais Henri qui allait bientôt naître, lui non plus, ne pouvait rien pour son frère - et Joseph mourut à l'âge de sept ans. Après la naissance d'un petit dernier, Ivan, la famille Vuillard se remet doucement de la mort du premier-né. Les années ont passé, Elizabeth est devenue écrivain de théâtre à Paris. Henri court de bonnes affaires en faillites frauduleuses, et Ivan, l'adolescent au bord du gouffre, est devenu le père presque raisonnable de deux garçons étranges. Un jour fatal, Elizabeth, excédée par les abus de son mauvais frère, a "banni" Henri, solennellement. Plus personne ne sait exactement ce qui s'est passé, ni pourquoi. Henri a disparu, et la famille semble aujourd'hui dissoute. Seul Simon, le neveu de Junon, recueilli par sa tante à la mort de ses parents, maintient difficilement le semblant d'un lien entre les parents provinciaux, la soeur vertueuse, le frère incertain et le frère honni...

Left marooned on the distant shores of Madagascar, the New Yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins have repaired an old crashed plane - sort of. Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just long enough to make it to the wildest place of all -- the vast plains of Africa itself -- where our zoo-raised crew encounters species of their own kind for the very first time. While discovering their roots, they quickly realize the differences between the concrete jungle and the heart of Africa. Despite long-lost relatives, romantic rivals and scheming hunters, Africa seems like a "crack-a-lackin" great place...but is it better than their Central Park home?

Danny and Wheeler are two salesmen who trash a company truck on an energy drink-fueled bender. Upon their arrest, the court gives them a choice: do hard time or spend 150 service hours with a mentorship program. After one day with the kids, however, jail doesn't look half bad. Surrounded by annoying do-gooders, Danny struggles with his every neurotic impulse to guide Augie through the trials of becoming a man. Unfortunately, the guy just dumped by his girlfriend has only sarcasm to offer a bashful 16-year-old obsessed with medieval role play. Meanwhile, charming Wheeler tries to trade in an addiction to partying and women to assist a fifth-grader named Ronnie in redirecting his foul-mouthed ways. It would probably help if Ronnie's new mentor wasn't an overgrown adolescent whose idea of quality time includes keggers in Venice Beach. Once the center's ex-con director gives them an ultimatum, Danny and Wheeler are forced to tailor their brand of immature wisdom to their charges. And if they can just make it through probation without getting thrown in jail, the world's worst role models will prove that, sometimes, it takes a village idiot to raise a child.
