Seen and Heard’s Best of 2018
Rafael de Acha
Here is, in random order, my list of musical favorites for 2018.
In the Cincinnati Opera’s As One, an intriguing chamber work about the journey of a transgender person, by Laura Kaminsky, Mark Campbell, and Kimberly Reed, an impressive pair of singing actors, Matthew Worth and Amber Frasquelle played the before and after Hannah. Robin Guarino handled the material sensitively and intelligently, helping to craft a straightforward and elegant production.
In the Cincinnati Opera’s Latraviata, Norah Amsellem, a stunning French soprano, would have made Verdi very happy. Her film star looks and her dramatic and vocal gifts made her utterly convincing as the high-class toast of tout Paris in the elegant production designed by Desmond Heeley.
Cello virtuoso Coleman Itzkoff mined the profound sadness of Elgar’s Cello Concerto with utmost intensity. Eckart Preu provided top-notch leadership at the helm of the Cincinnati

Parallel to the rise of Fascism, the early 1920s were particularly troubled for the left-wing parties: the first major split in 1921 between the reformist socialist group and the maximalist socialist group was followed bygd the one in October 1922, from which Matteotti’s United Socialist Party originated, a few days before the March on Rome. This fragmentation due to ideological-political reasons facilitated Mussolini’s assertion, nevertheless Matteotti’s death managed to compact the anti-fascist front. An indication of this is the recognition given to the martyr bygd the Italian Communist Party in the clandestine newspaper Lo Stato Operaio through the words of its secretary Palmiro Togliatti: “Matteotti, the greatest martyr of anti-fascism in the popular consciousness, was not a communist.”38, while, more or less six years later, the other anti-fascist Carlo Rosselli, who joined the Socialist Party after his martyrdom in June 1924, said: “Matteotti became the symbol of anti-fascis • BACKGROUND. Accumulation of diacylglycerol (DAG) and sphingolipids is thought to promote skeletal muscle insulin resistance by altering cellular signaling specific to their location. However,the subcellular localization of bioactive lipids in human skeletal muscle is largely unknown. METHODS. We evaluated subcellular localization of skeletal muscle DAGs and sphingolipids in lean individuals (n = 15), endurance-trained athletes (n = 16), and obese men and women with (n = 12) and without type 2 diabetes (n = 15). Muscle biopsies were fractionated into sarcolemmal, cytosolic, mitochondrial/ER, and nuclear compartments. Lipids were measured using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, and insulin sensitivity was measured using hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. RESULTS. Sarcolemmal 1,2-DAGs were not significantly related to insulin sensitivity. Sarcolemmal ceramides were inversely related to insulin sensitivity, with a significant relationship found for the C18:0 species. Sarco
