operaphila.org – On Tuesday, November 1, 2011, a trio of singers, Rebecca Siler from the Opera Company of Philadelphia, Alize Rozsnyai from The Curtis Institute of Music and Patricia Vigil from Temple University did more than just research at The Free Library of Philadelphia, startling guests with their rendition of the Queen of the Night aria, Der Hölle Rache, from Mozart’s The Magic Flute. The performance is one of 1000 Random Acts of Culture taking place nationally from 2012- next three years*, funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Knight Foundation’s Random Acts of Culture bring artists out of the performance halls and into the streets and our everyday lives. For more videos and information, visit RandomActsofCulture.org.

On July 20, 2010, Queen guitarist Brian May and Elena Vidal presented a slide show and talk for their book A VILLAGE LOST AND FOUND, which collects the stereoscopic picture cards depicting life in the 1850s in a small English village by stereoscopic photog TR Williams. The 3-D slide show used the same 3-D glasses and silver screen projection technology as AVATAR (believe it or not!). I woulda recorded more, but some ruffian-lout behind me smacked my head with his program and said, “Stop that!” … Pardon the crap hand-held video – I was trying to snap pictures with one hand and record this with the other – the one time in my life I wished I was an 8-legged Octopus!
