La coulée verte, ou promenade plantée

Promenade plantee map

Map of promenade plantee. Promenade plantee map (Île-de-France - France) to print. Promenade plantee map (Île-de-France - France) to download. The promenade plantee is an original walk, which stretches from the Bastille to the Bois de Vincennes, takes you sometimes in the air and sometimes underground. The promenade plantee unique design will take you from viaduct to footbridge, from tunnel to trench, through the East of Paris. It was created in 1988 by Philippe Mathieux and Jacques Vergely, on the site of the old railway line that linked Place de la Bastille to Varenne-Saint-Maur since 1859. Disused in 1969, it gave way to a succession of gardens scattered over 4.5 kilometers: Hector Malot, Reuilly, Reuilly station, Charles-Peguy as its shown in promenade plantee map. Paris has some of Europe most beautiful parks but for something different search out the Promenade Plantee. The promenade plantee its magical, green stroll 10 metres above the street, which begins at the Bastille and winds through the 12th arrondissement for three miles as its shown in promenade plantee map, coming out before the Bois de Vincennes. When a long-abandoned mid-19th century viaduct was converted into the world first elevated park walkway in 1993, most locals thought it a waste of money. Parisians needed time to take a project like this to heart, but now the Promenade is a cherished landmark.

The promenade plantee crosses the entire length of the 12th arrondissement of Paris (4.5 km as its mentioned in promenade plantee map). The promenade plantee follows the route of an old railway line which ceased to be used in 1969. The terminus station was at the Bastille at the current location of the opera house, the trains went to Boissy-Saint-Léger where there is now the RER A. The promenade plantee starts behind the Bastille Opera House. It overlooks the avenue Daumesnil up to the Reuilly garden: it is the famous Viaduc des Arts. The Vivaldi alley is then the commercial part of the promenade. Then this one continues in tunnels and trenches and one ends up joining the golden door and the wood of Vincennes.

Escape Routes: Discover the Promenade Plantée, the Green Heart of Paris Before New York’s High Line there was Paris’ Promenade Plantée – an elevated walkway fashioned from a disused railway that threads together arts venues, bars and parks in the southeastern part of the city. Culture Trip’s Paris correspondent Eleanor Aldridge explores the route. Running above the mêlée of streets, squares and rail lines that crisscross southeast Paris, the Promenade Plantée is a green needle piercing the city’s heart. Beneath this elevated walkway, motos weave in and out of traffic, crowds gather near Place de la Nation for the latest protest and modern developments butt up against some of the 12th arrondissement’s most community-focused neighbourhoods. Ten metres above, a secret world awaits. Construction of the Promenade Plantée, officially known as the Coulée Verte René-Dumont, finished in 1993 – that’s 21 years before the arguably better-known High Line in New York. It runs for nearly five kilometres between Bastille and Vincennes, along a disused rail line that was once plied by chuntering steam trains.

The paved path cuts through parks and old tunnels, while arched green trellises are festooned with roses and framed by cherry blossom in spring. In winter the path becomes starkly beautiful, set against the imperious Haussmannian façades that run alongside it. It’s not only a great walking route – offering peeks into apartments along the way – but the Promenade Plantée also acts as a ready-made itinerary for exploring this corner of the city. Steps make it easy to nip down to street level, or it takes about an hour to walk to the wilds of the Bois de Vincennes.

Viaduc des Arts

The 19th-century railway arches running along Avenue Daumesnil were among the first stretches beneath the Promenade Plantée to be developed. Now known as the Viaduc des Arts, they house bars, studios, restaurants and gallery spaces. Confiture Parisienne is a must-visit: pick up a jar of award-winning jam – perhaps carrot, passionfruit and vanilla – or try a preserve-making class at the weekend. At airy bar-restaurant Gamelle, there’s also bowling, darts and table football, while the food spans hot dogs, tapas and French classics.

Ground Control

Founded six years ago, Ground Control has become the city’s hub for street food, pop-ups, events with a social conscience and anything in between. Sprawling across what was once an enormous SNCF train shed, it encompasses an open-plan food court, several bars, a shop and open spaces used for everything from yoga to painting classes. The buzzy terrace is the place in Paris to find a great spritz and an even better burger, cooked in a refurbished bus.

Bois de Vincennes

The Promenade Plantée ends at the city’s eastern green lung, the Bois de Vincennes – the mirror image of the Bois de Boulogne, west of the city centre. Making up for the lack of parks in central Paris, its 2,459 acres span lakes and woodland interlaced with shady pathways. Once a royal hunting ground, it’s the closest you can get to real countryside these days without leaving the city proper. In summer, festivals and concerts keep things lively well into the evening.

The Palais Garnier Opera House, Paris.

It was built between 1861 and 1875 at the behest of Emperor Napoleon III for the Paris Opera. It is a 1,979-seat venue and was named after its architect Charles Garnier.

The building was the primary theatre of the Paris Opera and its associated Paris Opera Ballet until 1989 when a new opera house, the Opéra Bastille, was opened at the Place de la Bastille. The company now uses the Palais Garnier mainly for ballet. The Palais Garnier has been a designated Monument historique national heritage site since 1923.

La donzella de neu a la ONP Fotografia de Sebastien Mathe_onp

La donzella de neu a la ONP, producció de Dmitri Tcherniakov

La donzella de neu, producció de Dmitri Tcherniakov, fotografia ©-Elisa-Haberer

Un teatre imponent i de primera categoria fa coses imponents i d’excel·lent i primera categoria. L’Opéra National de París ha programat en la temporada 2016/2017 la bellíssima òpera de Nikolai Rimski-Kósakov “La donzella de neu“.

Es tracta de la tercera de les quinze òperes que va composar el compositor rus i segons diuen, l’òpera que més estimava del seu opus, un opus farcit d’obres imprescindibles que ens hem hagut d’acostumar a prescindir-ne degut a la miopia dels programadors que insisteixen en el de sempre amb l’intent de mantenir als de sempre abonats com sempre.

A París han triat un tàndem rus per dirigir una companyia quasi exclusivament russa, garantint d’aquesta manera una idoneïtat idiomàtica i una adequació estilística que si més no atorgui autenticitat. El resultat com no podia ser d’altra manera, és un estímul cultural d’altíssim valor i un orgull per a la institució que la programa i ofereix al seu públic, per l’obra i per la manera de donar-la a conèixer.

Potser a la direcció de Mikhail Tatarnikov no tingui la grandesa que de ben segur li atorgarien Gergiev, Petrenko o Jurowski, però hi ha una bona paleta de colors en la sonoritat que l’exuberant orquestració demana i ell tot i que el discurs es torna feixuc en més d’una ocasió, dóna notorietat als grans i nombroses conjunts amb un Cor en estat de gràcia que enlluerna per la sonoritat i cohesió, en una temporada que la programació l’ha posat al límit, sabent superar tots els reptes amb una nota excel·lent.

L’extens equip vocal està encapçalat per la dolcíssima Snegúrotxka de l’emergent Aida Garifullina en la millor prestació que li he escoltat fins ara. Una veu bonica, gens forçada, d’emissió fàcil i sobretot amb una aura encisadora, té àngel.

El contratenor Yuriy Mynenko és la segona vegada, que jo sàpiga, que assumeix el rol de mezzosoprano en un rol transvestit de l’òpera russa, va ser Ratmir al Ruslanf et Ludmyla a Moscou també sota la direcció de Dmitri Tcherniakov i ara és el desitjat Lel. Canta admirablement i la veu és dolcíssima, però escènicament no és del tot creïble, hi ha una dissonància entre el físic i el cant i la interpretació que costa de superar, però és innegable que l’aposta per a un contratenor (altres vegades ho ha fet un tenor) l’apropa més a la vocalitat original.

Martina Serafin tampoc dóna el físic idoni a la jove Kupava, però vocalment està molt més convincent que en les incursions en els exigents i poc apropiats rols de soprano dramàtica verdiana que han malgastat la seva sumptuosa veu. Aquí està esplendorosa i passional.

Qui havia de ser l’original holandès liceista, el baríton Thomas Johannes Mayer es fa càrrec del rol de Mizguir amb contundència vocal i escènica. mentre que el tenor Maxim Paster tot i complir vocalment amb el rol, no dóna credibilitat escènica al Tsar Berendeï, és clar que la credibilitat escènica en els muntatges de Tcherniakov aviat salta pels aires gràcies a la fascinant i trencadora dramatúrgia.

No m’han convençut gaire La fada primavera d’Elena Manistina i el rei de glaç de Vladimir Ognovenko, ja una mica gastat per esdevenir creïble en un rol que encara ha de mostrar autoritat, té un gran ofici i moltes taules escèniques però la veu mana. Franz Hawlata possiblement tampoc sigui el millor baix per atorga grandesa a Bobyl Bakula.

El conjunt funciona esplèndidament perquè al darrera també hi ha una gran producció escènica amb el segell inconfusible de Dmitri Tcherniakov, que quan es posa a dirigir òperes russes mai defrauda, i si en el Kitej ens va enlluernar, com també ho va fer en els muntatges de La núvia del Tsar a Berlín, El príncep Igor a Àmsterdam i el MET, Ruslan i Ludmila a Moscou crea una fascinació dramàtica i escènica absolutament genial, molt lluny de les fallides aproximacions verdianes.

Dmitri Tcherniakov recrea un món possible, molt contemporani de la Rùssia actual i que per tant segurament un rus identificaria molt millor que nosaltres, per a un conte inicialment fantàstic i d’arrels molt populars. Hi ha una barreja de vestuari que ja no ens hauria de sorprendre, i sobretot hi ha una escenografia imponent per recrear aquesta comunitat neo-rural on el conte de Snegúrotxka intenta, no sempre de manera convincent però finalment poc discutible gràcies a un quart acte d’absolut somni, màgic i altament poètic, convencer de les bondats d’aquesta història que enfronta a déus, semi-déus i humans, de manera ben diferent però altament influenciada per el món wagnerià.

En el pròleg assistim a un classe de dansa a una escola, on la mare de Snegúrotxka no és la fada primavera sinó una professora de ballet, mentre que en els quatre actes successius l’acció transcorre en un frondós bosc, de impactant realisme quan convé.

SINOPSI

Filla del rei Glaç i de la fada Primavera, Snegúrotxka, la donzella de neu, té el cor de neu, que el sol no pot fondre-li. Un dia, des del fons del bosc on viu, sent els cants de Lel, el pastor. Encisada per aquella veu i pel que canta, Snegúrotxka demana als seus pares anar a viure entre els homes. Un cop allà, l’adopten una parella de pagesos i la noia comença a viure com ells. En una ocasió en què escoltava les cançons de Lel, el pastor li demana un petó en paga, però ella li dóna només una flor. Aleshores Lel fuig amb tot d’altres noies que el reclamen. Snegúrotxka és consolada per Kupava, la noia que està a punt de casar-se amb el pastor Mizguir. Però quan apareix aquest darrer, resulta que s’enamora perdudament de Snegúrotxka.

Llavors l’abandonada Kupava recorre a la justícia del bon tsar Berendei, que és festejat pels seus músics i cortesans (que es queixen del fred que no s’atura). El tsar ordena la preparació d’una gran cerimònia nupcial i ofereix un premi a qui sigui capaç d’enamorar Snegúrotxka, sabedor que el fred no cessarà fins que el cor de neu de la noia s’arribi a fondre. Durant la festa, Lel torna a cantar i en acabat li és concedit com a premi un petó de la noia que ell esculli. Però Lel tria Kupava, contra les esperances de Snegúrotxka.

Aleshores, la noia de neu reclama l’ajuda de la seva mare, que finalment li concedeix el do d’estimar qui l’estimi. Snegúrotxka dóna el seu amor a Mizguir, però això no fa sinó que la noia acabi fonent-se finalment, escalfada pel sol de l’amor. Mentre Mizguir es llança al riu, desesperat, el tsar i tota la seva cort celebren amb una gran festa la tornada del sol

13 Off-the-Beaten-Path Things to See and Do in Paris

Posted: 6/24/2019 | June 24th, 2019

Paris is filled with famous attractions: the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Versailles, the catacombs, the Pantheon, the Arc de Triomphe, Sacre-Coeur. The list goes on. There are so many amazing sites here that you could spend days (heck, even weeks) just seeing the main, most well-known ones.

But there’s more to Paris than the sites that attract thousands upon thousands of visitors each day. While I was living Paris the past few months, I made it my mission to see some of the more unusual, lesser-known (but equally awesome) attractions (that didn’t coming with the aggravating crowds that make so many of Paris’ attractions unbearable).

And, while some of the things on the list below might not be “super secret” attractions or activities, they do fall into the category of “over looked attractions” so I included them.

Here are some of the best off-the-beaten-path things to see and do in Paris:

1. Le Manoir de Paris

This is where macabre museum meets haunted house. Numerous rooms highlight some of the more unsettling aspects of Paris’s long and often dark past, such as the Phantom of the Opera, vampires, or the crocodiles in the sewers. Using real actors as well as animatronics, the city’s gruesome and unsettling history is brought to life in an interesting way. In addition to their museum, they also have escape rooms as well as different levels of intensity depending on how scared you get!

18 Rue de Paradis, +33 6 70 89 35 87, lemanoirdeparis.com. Open Fridays 6pm-9:30pm and weekends 3pm-6:30pm. Admission is 29 EUR for adults and 20 EUR for children 10-15.

2. Musée Édith Piaf

Édith Piaf is perhaps the most famous French singer from the 1930s to the 1960s, and know around the world for her song La vie en rose and Non, je ne regrette rien (which appeared in the movie Inception). She lived in a little apartment in the Ménilmontant district at the start of her career, which has been turned into tiny museum dedicated to her. You get a glimpse at her life through her gold and platinum records, photographs, clothing, letters from fans, posters, recordings, and sheet music.

5 Rue Crespin du Gast, +33 1 43 55 52 72. Open Monday-Wednesday 1pm-6pm and Thursdays 10am-12pm. Admission is free, but you’ll need to make an appointment. You’ll also want to either speak decent French or go with someone who does.

3. Musée Curie

Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize (and the only woman to win it twice) for her research into radioactivity (a word that she invented). She was the first female professor at the University of Paris as well as the first woman to be entombed in the Panthéon on her own merits. Located in the 5th arrondissement, this museum, in her old laboratory, highlights her radiological research. It’s insightful and eye-opening for anyone unfamiliar with her historic discoveries.

1 Rue Pierre et Marie Curie, +33 1 56 24 55 33, musee.curie.fr. Open Wednesday-Saturday 1pm-5pm. Admission is free.

4. Archives Nationales

Opened in 1867, the National Archives houses thousands of historical documents dating back to 625 CE. One of six national archives in the country, the museum sheds light on France’s turbulent past, providing nuanced historical details and context through permanent and temporary exhibitions.

Built by the order of Napoleon I, the building itself (known as the Hôtel de Soubise) is absolutely stunning. It is in the late Baroque style, embracing long columns and lots of statues and sculptures. It features immaculate grounds and gardens as well. They always hold a lot of good exhibitions too.

59 Rue Guynemer, +33 1 75 47 20 02, archives-nationales.culture.gouv.fr/en. Open Monday-Saturday 9am-5pm. Admission is 8 EUR per person.

5. The Gallery of Paleontology and Comparative Anatomy

Opened in 1898, this museum is home to over 1,000 animal skeletons from around the world, including complete skeletons of elephants, large cats, and even dinosaurs. It’s as interesting as it is unsettling: all the animals are facing the same way, making it look like you’re in the midst of some undead stampede!

2 Rue Buffon, +33 1 40 79 56 01, http://bit.ly/2B0lruZ. Open daily 10am-6pm (closed Tuesdays). Admission is free.

6. The Vampire Museum

Paris has a long history with the esoteric, one that is brought to life in this fascinating (if not macabre) museum founded by an eccentric scholar to showcase his knowledge of the undead and esoteric. Here you’ll find vampire-killing kits, rare texts on demonology, and mysterious ancient relics. It’s a busy, eclectic, creepy museum that’s a feast for the eyes and one worthy of a visit if you’re at all interested in more obscure (and fanciful) tales. It’s a fun little, kitsch museum.

14 Rue Jules David, +33 1 43 62 80 76, artclips.free.fr/musee_des_vampires/MuseeVampires1.html. You’ll need to make an appointment in advance by phone. (Don’t worry if the voicemail greeting is in French — the curator speakers perfect English).

7. Petite Ceinture

In use from 1862 through 1964, the railway circling Paris was abandoned when the city expanded beyond its limits. It’s mostly hidden behind buildings and covered in wild plants and grass now, though some sections are now officially open to the public. You’ll find all sorts of flowers and street art along the tracks.

While some sections are illegal to visit, near Parc Georges Brassens you’ll find a section of the tracks known as the ‘Passage de la Petite Ceinture’ that is both free and legal to visit. It’s located in the 15e arrondissement.

8. The Salvador Dalí Sundial

This surrealist sundial was created by world-renowned artist Salvador Dalí. Located on Rue Saint-Jacques, it’s is a mix of a human face and a scallop shell (the symbol of the Camino to Santiago, since the street is named after the saint). While the sundial doesn’t actually work, it’s nevertheless an easy way to see a piece of artwork by one of the most famous artists in the world.

27 Rue Saint-Jacques. Open 24/7 with no admission.

9. Montmartre Cemetery

While the Père Lachaise Cemetery is the largest and most popular in Paris, for a more secluded stroll, check out the Montmartre Cemetery. Plenty of people visit the top of Montmartre for Sacré-Coeur and the view, but few take the time to wander this cemetery sitting at the foot of the district. It opened in 1825 and is home to many cobwebbed mausoleums, as well as a handful of stray cats. You won’t see many people here, so you can explore in peace.

20 Avenue Rachel, +33 1 53 42 36 30, paris.fr/equipements/cimetiere-de-montmartre-5061. Open Monday-Friday 8am-6pm, Saturdays 8:30am-6pm, and Sundays 9am-6pm.

10. The Museum of Counterfeiting

Opened in 1972, this museum is home to counterfeit items that have been collected by France’s customs agents and police (as well as donated items from brands and consumers alike). There are over 500 items in the museum, ranging from counterfeit art and luxury goods to more mundane items, like cleaning supplies. While some knockoffs are impressive in their duplicity, it’s also funny to see just how bad some counterfeiters were!

16 Rue de la Faisanderie, +33 1 56 26 14 03, musee-contrefacon.com. Open Monday-Saturday 2pm-5:30pm. Admission is 6 EUR per person for adults and 5 EUR for students and seniors.

11. Promenade Planteé (Coulée verte René-Dumont)

This tree-lined walkway is a greenbelt that extends almost 5km along the old Vincennes railway line. The railway line ceased functioning in 1969, with the park being inaugurated a few decades afterward. Until New York built their High Line, it was the only elevated park in the entire world. (And, honestly, this is way nicer the the NYC High Line). You’ll find lots of trees, flowers, ponds, and places to sit along this long path that stretches from Bastile to the edge of Paris. It’s al ong really easy and beautiful walk. You won’t find many people here. Even on a nice day, it’s rather empty. It quickly became one of my favorite things to do in Paris and I can’t recommend coming here enough!

1 Coulée verte René-Dumont (12th arrondissement). Open daily from 8am-9:30pm. Admission is free.

12. Canal Saint-Martin

Stretching 4.5km, the Canal Saint-Martin is a man-made waterway commissioned by Napoleon. Construction finished in 1825, connecting the Canal de l’Ourcq to the Seine via both above ground locks and underground tunnels. While not any secret spot (on a nice day, you’ll find the canal lined with people), it’s mostly a spot for locals who want to have a picnic and relax. So, say no to the Siene, and come have your outdoor picnic along the canal. It’s more relaxing and there will be fewer people!

The canal starts at Place de Stalingrad and ends at Quai de la Râpée. Canal cruises last 2.5 hours and cost around 16 EUR per person.

13. Museé de Montmartre

Founded in 1960, this museum is located throughout two building that date back to the 17th century. Over the years, the buildings were home to many famous writers and painters. The gardens of the museum were actually renovated to look more like the gardens in Renoir’s paintings (there is also a vineyard nearby that dates back to the Middle Ages but it makes horrible wine). The museum’s permanent collection includes a wide variety of paintings, posters, and drawings.

12 Rue Cortot, +33 1 49 25 89 39, museedemontmartre.fr/en/le-musee. Open daily from 10am-6pm (7pm in the summer). Admission is 12 EUR for adults, which includes an audio guide. Discounts are available for students, children, and persons with disabilities.

***

While the main sights in Paris are always worth checking out, but if you want to be more than a tourist and develop a greater appreciation for the City of Light’s unique and complex history, visit these unconventional and unusual attractions in Paris.

Book Your Trip to Paris: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Find a cheap flight by using Skyscanner or Momondo. They are my two favorite search engines because they search websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is left unturned.

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as they consistently return the cheapest rates for guesthouses and cheap hotels. I use them all the time. Some of my favorite places to stay in Paris are:

St. Christopher’s Canal – Comfy spot on the canal. During the summer months, the terrace is hopping!

Opéra Bastille, place de la Bastille

The Opéra national de Paris has two buildings: the palais Garnier and the opéra Bastille. The Garnier, opened in 1875, is the better known of the two, but it’s this modern (1989) 2700-seat Bastille where most of today’s opera is actually staged. (the 1970-seat Garnier is used mostly for ballets and some classical operas.) July 14 seemed an appropriate day to post this.

Shirley Verrett

Shirley Verrett (May 31, 1931 – November 5, 2010) was an African-American operatic mezzo-soprano who successfully transitioned into soprano roles, i.e. soprano sfogato. Verrett enjoyed great fame from the late 1960s through the 1990s, particularly well known for singing the works of Verdi and Donizetti.

Early life and education

Born into an African-American family of devout Seventh-day Adventists in New Orleans, Louisiana, Verrett was raised in Los Angeles, California. She sang in church and showed early musical abilities, but initially a singing career was frowned upon by her family. Later Verrett went on to study with Anna Fitziu and with Marion Szekely Freschl at the Juilliard School in New York. In 1961 she won the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions.

International career

In 1957, Verrett made her operatic debut in Britten's The Rape of Lucretia. In 1958, she made her New York City Opera debut as Irina in Kurt Weill's Lost in the Stars. In 1959, she made her European debut in Cologne, Germany in Dmitri Nabokov's Rasputins Tod. In 1962, she received critical acclaim for her Carmen in Spoleto, and repeated the role at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1963, and at the NY City Opera in 1964 (opposite Richard Cassilly and Norman Treigle). Verrett first appeared at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1966 as Ulrica in Un ballo in maschera.

She appeared in the first concert ever televised from Lincoln Center in 1962, and also appeared that year in the first of the Leonard Bernstein Young People's Concerts ever televised from that venue, in what is now Avery Fisher Hall.

She made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1968, with Carmen, and at La Scala in 1969 in Samson and Dalila. Verrett's mezzo roles included Cassandra and Didon (Berlioz's Les Troyens)-including the Met premiere, when she sang both roles in the same performance, Verdi's Ulrica, Amneris, Eboli, Azucena, Saint-Saëns' Dalila, Donizetti's Elisabetta I in Maria Stuarda, Leonora in La favorita, Christoph Willibald Gluck's Orpheus, and Rossini's Neocles (L'assedio di Corinto) and Sinaide in Moïse. Many of these roles were recorded, either professionally or privately.

Beginning in the late 1970s she began to tackle soprano roles, including Selika in L'Africaine, Judith in Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle, Lady Macbeth Macbeth, Madame Lidoine in Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites (Met1977), Tosca, Norma (from Boston 1976 till Messina 1989), Aida (Boston 1980 and 1989), Desdemona (Otello) (1981), Leonore (Fidelio) (Met 1983), Iphigénie (1984–85), Alceste (1985), Médée (Cherubini) (1986).. Her Tosca was televised by PBS on Live from the Met in December 1978, just six days before Christmas. She sang the role opposite the Cavaradossi of Luciano Pavarotti.

In 1990, Verrett sang Dido in Les Troyens at the inauguration of the Opéra Bastille in Paris, and added a new role at her repertoire: Santuzza in Cavalleria rusticana in Sienna. In 1994, she made her Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel at Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theater, playing Nettie Fowler.

In 1996 Verrett joined the faculty of the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance as a Professor of Voice and the James Earl Jones University Professor of Music. The preceding year at the National Opera Association Gala Banquet and Concert honoring Mattiwilda Dobbs, Todd Duncan, Camilla Williams and Robert McFerrin, Verrett said: "I'm always so happy when I can speak to young people because I remember those who were kind to me that didn't need to be. The first reason I came tonight was for the honorees because I needed to say this. The second reason I came was for you, the youth. These great people here were the trailblazers for me. I hope in my own way I did something to help your generation, and that you will help the next. This is the way it's supposed to be. You just keep passing that baton on!"

Autobiography

In 2003, Shirley Verrett published a memoir, I Never Walked Alone (ISBN 0-471-20991-0), in which she spoke frankly about the racism she encountered as a black person in the American classical music world. When the conductor Leopold Stokowski invited her to sing with the Houston Symphony in the early 1960s, he had to rescind his invitation when the orchestra board refused to accept a black soloist. Stokowski later made amends by giving her a prestigious date with the much better known Philadelphia Orchestra.

Death

Verrett died in Ann Arbor, Michigan, aged 79, on November 5, 2010 from heart failure following an undisclosed illness.

If I had a chance to travel, I would definitely love to go to Paris, France. Why I want to visit Paris the most out of all the other places in the world? Well, it is simply because I have always dreamt to go to Paris ever since I was five. I was inspired by some of the movies I used to watch when I was little. There is always a scene where there is romance or happiness and that scene will definitely take place in the beautiful capital of France, Paris. Besides, I would absolutely love to see the amazing Eiffel Tower with my very own eyes and not just in photographs or accessories. Paris, the capital city of France is often known as the city of romance and is a city steeped in art and culture. Like many of its neighbouring European cities, Paris is full of beautiful architecture and museums showcasing fine art from some of the world’s most respected artists. Between the 1500s and 1800s, Paris was in fact the largest city in the entire world. The romantic reputation of Paris is likely to come from stories of Casanova’s presence in the city and his seductive and promiscuous ways. Three of the most famous Parisian landmarks are the 12th-century cathedral Notre Dame de Paris, the Napoleonic Arc de Triomphe and the 19th-century Eiffel Tower. It has been my biggest dream ever to visit all of these places because I feel great and enthusiastic when it comes to travelling. I am curious about the landscape and the scenery in Paris. I am pretty sure that it would look fantastic just like I dreamt it would be. In addition, I am interested to witness the lifestyle in Paris like their cuisines, houses, songs and clothes too. The largest opera houses of Paris are the 19th century Opéra Garnier and the modern Opéra Bastille; the former tends towards the more classic ballets and operas, and the latter provides a mixed repertoire of classic and modern. "La Marseillaise" or the Song of Marseille is the national anthem of France. I know I can...
