La Estatua de carne ("The Statue of Meat") is a 1951 Mexican film.
 It was directed by Chano Urueta.
 It is based on the play "La Gioconda" by Gabriele D'Annunzio.
Corrado Zambelli (3 June 1897 - 1 September 1974) was an Italian classical bass who had an active international singing career in operas and concerts from the 1920s through the 1950s.
 He appears on several complete opera recordings, including "Otello" and "Carmen" for His Master's Voice; and "Ernani", "Il trovatore", "La favorite", and "La Gioconda" for Columbia Records.
La morte d'Orfeo ("The Death of Orpheus") is an opera in five acts by the Italian composer Stefano Landi.
 It was first performed in Rome in 1619.
 The work is styled a "tragicomedia pastorale" (pastoral tragicomedy).
 The libretto, which may be by the composer himself, is inspired by "La favola d'Orfeo" (1484) by Angelo Poliziano.
 Unlike Monteverdi's "L'Orfeo", Landi's opera contains comic elements.
Gioconda Vessichelli (born in Rome, Italy) is an opera singer.
 Gioconda is the inventor and pioneer of BollywoOPERA style.
 She has sung in the Bollywood movie "Prague "in 2013, and she has given her voice for the Bollywood movie "Mary Kom" on the song "Ziddi dil" together with Vishal Dadlani.On 19th May 2017 her song "Itni si baat hai" has been released by the label T-series.
 On 20 December 2014 the song "Thodi Daaru" was released featuring Mika Singh.
 Gioconda has done live performances as first fusion ever between opera and classical Hindi music with artists of the caliber of Grammy Award winner Sukhwinder Singh, Hari Haran, Gino Banks, Niladri Kumar, Silvaganesha, in festivals and auditoriums like Nehru Centre[20] in Mumbai.
 She collaborates with Anup Jalota, and many others.
 On 31 March 2016 her international video "We are one" in which she sings and acts together with Anup Jalota for peace in the world has been launched from the Minister of India in Delhi.
 She is in the annual book of Italian opera singer for having sung in the first world edition of contemporary opera at "Teatro comunale di Modena", broadcast on Italian state radio RAI.
 Gioconda is the first singer in the premiere world ever of the contemporary opera “Lavinia fuggita” by Matteo d’Amico.
 She has two degrees in opera singing and musicology from Italian conservatory "Santa Cecilia" and international high school of opera "H.Wolf".
 The tenor Luciano Pavarotti has been her teacher, among other opera singers who selected her as one of the best students.
 She was selected as best singer at accademia rossiniana in Pesaro and she debuts the role of "Madama cortese" in "il viaggio a Reims" by Rossini with the symphonic orchestra of Rof at Rossini theatre in Pesaro.
 She sings again in a Rossini opera at Ercolano international opera season in "Il barbiere di Siviglia" and at teatro Politeama opera season in Lecce.
 After Rossini she debuts "Carmen" by Bizet.
 Her interpretation of the role "Mimì" in the opera "La Boheme" by Puccini received positive critiques.
La Gioconda is an opera in four acts by Amilcare Ponchielli set to an Italian libretto by Arrigo Boito (as Tobia Gorrio), based on "Angelo, Tyrant of Padua", a play in prose by Victor Hugo, dating from 1835.
 (This is the same source as Gaetano Rossi had used for his libretto for Mercadante's "Il giuramento" in 1837).
Plácido Domingo has made hundreds of opera performances, music albums, and concert recordings throughout his career as an operatic tenor.
 From his first operatic leading role as Alfredo in "La traviata" in 1961, his major debuts continued in swift succession: "Tosca" at the Hamburg State Opera and "Don Carlos" at the Vienna State Opera in 1967; "Adriana Lecouvreur" at the Metropolitan Opera, "Turandot" in Verona Arena and "La bohème" in San Francisco in 1969; "La Gioconda" in 1970; "Tosca" in Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1971; "La bohème" at the Bavarian State Opera in 1972; "Il trovatore" at the Paris Opéra in 1973 and "Don Carlo" at the Salzburg Festival in 1975, "Parsifal" in 1992 at the Bayreuth Festival; and the list continues until today; the same role is often recorded more than once.
La Gioconda was a cafe in London's Tin Pan Alley — Denmark Street — where musicians such as David Bowie and Elton John would eat and meet other people in the music business.
 The premises subsequently became the Barino coffee bar.
 The name was then revived as the Giaconda Dining Room in 2008 which expanded to the Giaconda Dining Rooms before being renamed La Giaconda and then closing in 2014.
L'Orfeo (SV 318) (] ), sometimes called La favola d'Orfeo ] , is a late Renaissance/early Baroque "favola in musica", or opera, by Claudio Monteverdi, with a libretto by Alessandro Striggio.
 It is based on the Greek legend of Orpheus, and tells the story of his descent to Hades and his fruitless attempt to bring his dead bride Eurydice back to the living world.
 It was written in 1607 for a court performance during the annual Carnival at Mantua.
 While Jacopo Peri's "Dafne" is generally recognised as the first work in the opera genre, and the earliest surviving opera is Peri's "Euridice", "L'Orfeo" is the earliest that is still regularly performed.
La Gioconda is an 1899 play by the Italian writer Gabriele D'Annunzio.
 It was adapted for film three times in the silent era and as a Mexican film in 1951.
These lists show the audio and visual recordings of the opera "L'Orfeo" by Claudio Monteverdi.
 The opera was first performed in Mantua in 1607, at the court of Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga, and is one of the earliest of all operas.
 The first recording of "L'Orfeo" was issued in 1939, a freely adapted version of Monteverdi's music edited by Giacomo Benvenuti, given by the orchestra of La Scala Milan conducted by Ferrucio Calusio.
 In 1949 the Berlin Radio Orchestra under Helmut Koch recorded the complete opera, on long-playing records (LPs).
 The advent of LP recordings was, as Harold Schonberg later wrote, an important factor in the postwar revival of interest in Renaissance and Baroque music, and from the mid-1950s recordings of "L'Orfeo" have been issued on many labels.
 Koch's landmark version was reissued in 1962, when it was compared unfavourably with others that had by then been issued.
 The 1969 recording by Nicholas Harnoncourt and the Vienna Concentus Musicus, using Harnoncourt's edition based on period instruments, was praised for "making Monteverdi's music sound something like the way he imagined".
 In 1981 Siegfried Heinrich, with the Early Music Studio of the Hesse Chamber Orchestra, recorded a version which re-created the original Striggio libretto ending, adding music from Monteverdi's 1616 ballet "Tirsi e Clori" for the Bacchante scenes.
 Among more recent recordings, that of Emmanuelle Haïm has been praised for its dramatic effect.
 The 21st century has seen the issue of an increasing number of recordings on DVD.
