Cartolina radio programs “for those who remember Italy and who dream of it”.
3 September at 7.30 pm & 8 September at 10.30 am:
"Engineered Wood Structures: Building a sustainable future" with Massimo Fragiacomo and Stefano Pampanin. The latest massive timber engineering project in the Civil Engineering dept. of University of Canterbury, in collaboration with University of Sassari and Politecnico of Milano, indirectly brings Christchurch closer to Italy. Stefano and Massimo, two of the key researchers of this project, unravel the search for sustainable, earthquake-proof engineered timber structures of the future, structures especially in relation to earthquake safety.
This should be of particular interest to the engineers, but their talk is very comprehensible and educational to also anyone who is not in this field.
17 September at 7.30 pm & 22 September at 10.30 am:
Director Elric Hooper and USA tenor Carlo Scibelli (Manrico) talk about the coming Southern Opera season of Giuseppe Verdi’s Il Trovatore, at the Isaac Theatre Royal from 30 September. They tell about challenges and rewards of staging such a big classic, and more about opera in New Zealand and the USA, including the Metropolitan’s controversial program of offering cinemas across the world high-definition “simulcasts” of the Met’s live performances.
1 October at 7.30 pm & 6 October at 10.30 am:
