The 2010 programme of the Audi MedCup comprises five regattas with races scheduled over a five month period in four different nations: four in the Mediterranean and one in the Atlantic.

At each venue the Audi MedCup Regatta Village will be equipped in a singular manner to provide visitors with a unique experience, info and the possibility of interacting with the world of regattas.
Free admission – providing the possibility to view boats and teams close-up (from the Saturday prior to start of races). A maxi screen will be set up to allow visitors to follow the regattas, in addition to a series of games and activities for all the family.

One of the characteristics featuring major appeal for teams is the “intelligent” route followed by the Circuit both geographically and chronologically, starting in May in Cascais (Lisbon) and terminating in Cagliari (Sardinia) in September.

It is apparently not good to take oneself too seriously!

For this reason, we have decided to renew the graphic design of our menus: to provide something a little different, in the hope that it may be to your liking and remind you of us.

The culinary delights proposed by our Chef Massimiliano Balia will continue to make use of seasonal availability, using fresh, genuine produce, as the dishes he creates are based on an encounter between the Sardinian culinary tradition and Mediterranean cuisine,

but………………

for lovers of good food – although not only for them - T Hotel has devised an amusing novelty:
throughout 2010 all menus at T Hotel will be embellished with the work of artists who have playfully consented to place their signature on the menus for our homemade ice creams, on the wine list, and on the tasting menus that change daily for both lunch and dinner.

Accordingly, for the whole 2010 summer menus at T Hotel will be distinguished by the decisive lines and bright colours of the fun characters created by Bob Marongiu: from Vacquario to the curvy Maialyn Monroe.
Close your eyes and imagine tasting something delectable, open them to find an image capable of making you smile thanks to the wonderful, and incredibly complex, ingenuity of his paintings.

This is a new staging by the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, in co production with the theatres in Bari, Reggio Emilia and Nice. Daniele Abbado, together with Gianni Carluccio for the set, Giada Palloni for the costumes, produce a fascinating mise-en scène, which is modern, sober and follows the ‘Rossinian’ dictates respectfully.
Hubert Soudant conducts the orchestra. The young Sicilian mezzo-soprano Josè Maria Lo Monaco stars, alongside prestigious names such as Edgardo Rocha (Don Ramiro), Simone Alberghini (Dandini), Paolo Bordogna (Don Magnifico) and Nicola Ulivieri (Alidoro).

From 30th November to 7th December, splendid ballet comes to the stage for seven performances of The Nutcracker by Pëtr Il’ič Čajkovskij (Kamsko-Votkinsk, in the former the Imperial Russian province of Vyatka, 1840 – St. Petersburg, 1893). The Nutcracker is one of the world’s best-loved ballets and is performed by the Riga Opera House Ballet. This prestigious ballet company, an excellent example of romantic choreographic tradition, returns to the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari following last year’s the success of Le Corsaire by Adam. The Christmas fairy tale, which continues to magically enchant adults and children, has not been performed on the Teatro Lirico’s stage since February 2004. Farhads Stade conducts the Teatro Lirico Orchestra.

This year at the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari the Opera and Ballet Season proposes a novelty: two operas in concert form. This unique occasion permits the audience to concentrate particularly on the music, in the absence of the visual part typical of an opera production (direction, scenery, costumes and lights). The performances of The Queen of Spades by Petr Il’ič Čaikovskij (2008), ‘Prince Bluebeard’s Castle’ by Bartók (2008), Porgy and Bess by George Gershwin (2009), Orpheus and Eurydice by Gluck (2010) and I Shardana by Ennio Porrino (2010) were appreciated by the public; on 18th and 20th November, Fidelio by Ludwig van Beethoven (Bonn, 1770 – Vienna, 1827) will be performed and then on 16th and 18th December Don Pasquale by Gaetano Donizetti (Bergamo, 1797 – 1848). The musical masterpiece, Fidelio, the universal Ode to freedom, is the composer’s only opera. Anthony Bramall, well known in Cagliari, conducts the orchestra and singers, with Caroline Whisnant in the role of the charming Leonore. The young Ukrainian, Andriy Yurkevich, conducts the young well-established cast in Don Pasquale.

All the operas are performed by the Teatro Lirico Orchestra and by the Chorus conducted by Fulvio Fogliazza.

To ensure the unfailing success of your meeting, your business appointment, your convention, T Hotel in Cagliari has added a videoconference system to its numerous conference facilities.

A maximum of 4 people can be connected simultaneously from 4 different locations.

The system is also available for hire for installation in hotel rooms (following checking and confirmation of availability by the conference department).

*The system operates using either an IP address or an ISDN line.

Why “Containers” ? Because design is merely a matter of content. A collection of meanings and details culminating in the end product.

This exhibition therefore presents a large number of artisan designer artists who are close not only geographically but also mentally, people who share the same approach to design based on individual freedom of expression, on research and undertaking experiments with methods and materials, at the same time traditional and innovative, on creativity portrayed in the form of the tangibility and unexpected of a non-mechanical, anti-conformist style, frequently resulting in the creation of traditional artisan crafts of new design …artfully crafted.

Opening Thursday June 10th at 7pm.
Presentation by Dalia Gallico, President ADI Lombardy region.

“This exhibition reveals untold stories trapped in their design, because design is merely a matter of content.”

The protagonist of the exhibition is Ubu Roi, a work inspired by the play by Alfred Jarry bearing the same name, first put on stage in Paris on December 10^th 1896, causing a huge scandal.

Ubu Roi is viewed as a foregoer of the surrealism movement and the theatre of the absurd and Jarry combined provocation, absurdity, farce, parody and a crass, slovenly sense of humour.

In Settimo San Pietro in the exhibition area of Arca del Tempo in Via Alagon 36.
Opening times: from Tuesday to Sunday 10am to 1pm and 4pm to 7pm.
Admission: adults 3 €; discounted rate 2 €; free with Karalis Card.
