Invitation to the Opera: Verdi’s Aida
Wednesday January 25th, 1:00 p.m.
- in person event -
Verdi’s exotic opera, Aida, is often performed on a grand scale, its characters moving through history in a stately manner. Despite the grandeur, these characters have hearts that beat, blood that is warm, and passions as intense as our own. The duets are dramatic as can be, the romanzas (Radames’ ‘Celeste Aida’ and ‘O patria mia’) romantic in the extreme. Aida remains in the memory, too, for its gentle moments, the wistful dying fall of Amneris’ cry: ‘Ah! vieni amor . . .’ and Aida’s ‘O terra addio’. This is Verdi at the zenith of his power.
This event will take place in our meeting room and will be played on the large screen

The Camp Mineola Home Owners Association had been trying to publish additional copies of Summers at Great Peconic Bay: A History of a Summer Community by Norman Wamback. The publishing company for the original edition had dissolved, and members of the association asked the Mattituck-Laurel Library for help from Jerry Matovcik who had set the text and the layout for Norman. A new resident in the Camp Mineola community, Donald Simone, met with Jerry and volunteered to take the files of the book that were in our possession, set these files up for publication, and self-publish the book at cost, no profit to anyone. After improving a number of the images in Photoshop and following the layout of the original, Mr. Simone produced a fine new edition of Norman’s book. The books are available for purchase, softbound and hardbound, on blurb.com. | |
