Special, secretive operation will ship 11th-century artwork across Channel without jolts, bumps or shakes As the Bayeux tapestry wends its way across the Channel in a top secret operation there will be no jolts, no bumps, no shakes or vibrations โ unlike the voyage of William the Conqueror whose 1066 victory at Hastings the artefact recounts. โNothing has been left to chance,โ Catherine Pรฉgard, the French minister of culture told a gathering to mark the historic loan, which will be physically achieved with the tapestry, which is really an embroidery, transported in a specially constructed cradle within a container, the minister said.

Smith Square Hall, London This resourceful semi-staging blended choral collective Idrรฎsรฎ Ensembleโs ancient chants with Iestyn Davies and Figureโs Vivaldi. Vespers. The word conjures an intoxicating aura of twilight and incense. Liturgically, itโs an opportunity for Christians to sanctify the dayโs end as the sun is setting, but its roots are deeper, stretching back to first-century Judaism. Its name, from the Greek Hesperus, hints at darker pagan origins. This semi-staged concert located Vespers as it might have been heard in Vivaldiโs Venice, within the broader and more ancient cultures of the Mediterranean. Entering to the sound of bells, the audience was seated either side of a raised platform. At one end were string players from Figure, a historical performance orchestra, crisply led by Frederick Waxman. At the other was countertenor Iestyn Davies, a troubled figure staring at a laptop and lit by a single candle. As he donned headphones, an otherworldly Kyrie drifted down from a balcony. The voices were Idrรฎsรฎ Ensemble, a choral collective specialising in the performance of Old Roman chant, the music of the early Christian Church in Rome. It was a haunting sound, open throated and ornate, its vinegary harmonies peppered with ululating decorations. Continue reading...

Opera makers have always engaged with the latest inventions while also preserving historic crafts. I believe itโs possible to look both forwards and backwards in this fast-evolving landscape The disquiet and distrust surrounding artificial intelligence among artists and creatives remain real and consequential, and the language used by leading arts commentators is often apocalyptic: AI will decimate the arts, it is evil, it is the devil. Like many emerging technologies, AI has been driven by the corporations at the forefront of its creation. Introduced to the public at a rapid rate and continuously evolving, machine learning has become closely entwined with fear, antipathy and foreboding. At the same time, its powers and possibilities are expanding exponentially, becoming embedded in almost every aspect of human activity. The upcoming RBO/SHIFT festival at the Royal Opera House aims to interrogate all sides of this fast-evolving landscape to enable artists, performers, creatives and audiences to think deeply and widely about where we are now, and where we may be tomorrow. Machine learning represents a seismic shift, both in society and in the arts, and we need storytellers, artists, teachers and thinkers in this space to help determine the direction of that shift and help us navigate this unfamiliar territory.

Clash began when teachers broke through metal barrier at entrance to Zocalo plaza, where fans will watch game Mexico City police hurled teargas at protesting teachers to keep them from reaching the historic square where the โFan festโ for the 2026 World Cup is under construction, according to AFP journalists. The clash started when teachers broke through one of the metal barriers that have been set up at the entrance to the Zocalo plaza, a block from the government palace and a giant screen where fans will watch Mexicoโs first World Cup game on 11 June.

Scientific dating proves streaks on walls of Bacon Hole, near the Mumbles in south Wales, is Palaeolithic rock art In 1912, the Guardian reported on the discovery of Palaeolithic rock art on the walls of Bacon Hole, a cave near the Mumbles in south Wales โ only for the painted panelโs authenticity to be dismissed by 1928. A series of horizontal bands in red pigment were subsequently deemed no more than a natural phenomenon and the newspaper added an updated statement: โIt was later established that the red streaks โฆ turned out to be red oxide mineral seeping through the rock and not prehistoric art.โ Continue reading...
Ballots are being cast in the first round of the South American nationโs presidential elections Colombians are casting ballots in the first round of the South American nationโs presidential election, choosing between candidates with radically diverging visions for the future of peace in a country haunted by decades of armed conflict. The vote on Sunday, seen as a referendum on outgoing President Gustavo Petroโs policies, comes 10 years after Colombia signed a historic peace pact with guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc).

Marles tells Shangri-La Dialogue delegates that โseabed is a battlefieldโ. Follow updates live Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Continuing that report from Agence France-Presse: British defence secretary John Healey said that the planned technology, a โrange of cutting edge sensors and weapons systemsโ for underseas drones, โwill rapidly give our forces the very most advanced battlefield technologiesโ. The systems will be deployed on uncrewed underwater vessels, Healey added. We have witnessed a series of attacks against subsea critical infrastructure at a scale and frequency that is historically unprecedented. Our ability to operate as a modern economy and a functioning state, all of it is critically dependent on infrastructure that is exposed, that cannot move. As weโve now seen demonstrated in the Baltic, [it] can be cut with an anchor in the middle of the night. Continue reading...
Another tourist has made a mockery of Rome's historic Trevi Fountain by plunging herself in the water and filming the 'disrespectful' moment for social media.
A talky, performance-driven two-hander manages to find specificity and spark in what could have felt like an overly familiar throwback Hollywood is currently in an odd but oddly exciting place, where no one is quite sure what types of โfilms they donโt make anymoreโ they should actually start making again. Weโve seen historical epics such as Oppenheimer, erotic thrillers such as The Housemaid and female-led workplace comedies such as The Devil Wears Prada 2 all make blockbuster bank and weโre in the middle of a bumper year at the box office, edging towards a pre-pandemic total. But around the edges or in-between the cracks, there are brackets of films that might once have been given a spotlight, yet are still being left in the dark. A film such as Miss You, Love You โ a talky comedy drama about adults navigating adult issues โ would never have been a smash hit exactly, but it would have occupied a space which has now mostly faded, a space where specialty releases slowly turn strong reviews into good word of mouth that in turn allows for minor, yet, impressive numbers, a sleeper hit with awards buzz. Made over two years ago and then screened for buyers at this yearโs Sundance, with the help of Julia Roberts, whose husband acts as cinematographer, it was ultimately bought by HBO and shuffled into an early summer TV premiere, where it will likely go the unfortunate route quietly laid out by the networkโs other purchased titles.

A British and American film crew descend on the Northern Irish city to film a drama about the Troubles, in a keenly observed and snappily written debut The premise of Sรฉamas OโReillyโs brilliant debut novel is that a Hollywood actor has flown into Derry to star in a new TV series about the Troubles called Dead City, then mysteriously disappeared. But its real interest lies in what happens when a place becomes defined by a particular historical moment, to the extent that stories told about it lapse into formula. As one character says of the TV series: โA young lad coming of age in a time of violence, will he get caught up in everything or find another way through blah blah blah.โ OโReilly is determined to show us that the people of Derry are not so easily stereotyped. He uses Dead City as a starting point to circle through different characters connected to the series, from a stressed scriptwriter to a local historian who wonders, โHow do you talk about the past as a person still living it, in a place that barely survived it?โ As we move through the novel, we discover the links between them, creating a patchwork portrait of the city, similar to the way Tommy Orangeโs novel There, There used a chorus of voices to explore the lives of Native Americans.
