In the Dance of Alessandra Ferri, a Homage to the Mythical Actress Eleonora Duse

Venice has the largest archive of documents on the life and art of Eleonora, thanks to the Istituto per il Teatro e il Melodramma of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini. The lagoon city has recently been invaded by destructive flooding. Moved by the disaster, the choreographer literally donated the European debut of his Duse - Choreographic Fantasies about Eleonora Duse, to the Teatro La Fenice. These Fantasies are typecast not only to his splendid Hamburg Ballet dancers, but above all to the unique, great tragédienne today able to take on such an important role: Alessandra Ferri.

Today a whopping 20 million tourists a year continue to do the same. Many of them will end up in one of these caffè-bars.

“Acqua Alta” In Venice. Bonacini Tells the Press: Stop the Fake News and Exaggerations

Vittorio Bonacini, the owner of Hotel Tintoretto, informed us journalists that, “Venice’s 274 hotels (400, if you include Mestre and other mainland environs too)--75% of which belong to AVA--are usually sold out between New Year’s Day and the Epiphany, but this year our bookings are less than 50%. We have been hardest hit by American cancellations because 15% of Venice’s some 11 million overnight tourists every year are Americans, followed by the British at 8% and the French at 7%. Nothing like this has ever happened before, not even after September 11.”

Armenia at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and in Venice

Since 1717 St. Lazarus Island in the Venetian lagoon has been a foremost and deeply revered center of Armenian culture in the world. Visitors to the exhibition, “Armenia!”, on at the Met until January 13, will want to make a pilgrimage to this shrine and sacred place too.
