The book, which consumed 7 years of Joyce’s life, years in which his family’s circumstances were very difficult, would have a profound and unprecedented impact on the literature and culture of the century to follow. 

Though Ulysses was banned initially in the US and UK, Joyce’s epic was soon celebrated as a masterpiece of modernism.

Forty years ago, in June 1982, Israel invaded southern Lebanon, dubbed Operation Peace for Galilee by the Israelis. A small guerrilla group came together in secret to resist this offensive. Formed and supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran, it officially declared itself in 1985 as Hezbollah: The Party of God.
Four decades later, this small group has grown to become one of the most important military and political forces in the Middle East. A party of resistance for some, a terrorist group for others, Hezbollah is admired as much as it is feared. But the organisation, practically a state within a state, is living through turbulent times as Lebanon is experiencing a major political and economic crisis.

As  Lebanon experiences an existential crisis, a focus on the history of militant group Hezbollah, a controversial organisation supported by Iran.

Romeo and Juliet, as composed by Berlioz, is a singular work: A symphonie dramatique rather than an opera, a large-scale choral symphony indebted to Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. The work requires three solo parts performed by the French mezzo-soprano Virginie Verrez, the English tenor Andrew Staples and the Franco-Irish bass Edwin Crossley-Mercer. Their voices are joined by those of the Radio France Choir, and the instruments of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France conducted by Daniel Harding.
