Escribir un cuento, una novela o un drama no se empieza con una licenciatura o una maestría, es decir, un gran texto literario no lo garantiza un grado académico. La escritura es una y está ahí para todos, pero el talento es de cada persona, coincidieron los participantes durante la primera sesión del ciclo Escuelas de escritura en la Sala Manuel M. Ponce del Palacio de Bellas Artes.

n the midst of a polar vortex this winter, MN Opera sends an early valentine filled with warmth to the Twin Cities in their production The Italian Straw Hat at the Ordway Center's Orchestra Hall. This comic Italian opera set in 1950's Paris plays similar to a French farce while sung in Italian and accompanied with English subtitles. Composed and written by Nino Rota and his wife Ernesta, the composer earned accolades for his film scores written for Federico Fellini, and "The Godfather," both the first and second versions. In this opera, Rota's mid-century comedy, a groom's horse eats an expensive straw hat on the morning of his wedding day while his father in law's patent leather shoes fit too tight. Sound extraordinary? Yes, all is wondrous mayhem as this Parisian wedding spins out of control and delightful events happen on stage throughout this enchanting opera.
