Tatort
''Tatort'' ("Crime scene") is a German language police procedural television series that has been running continuously since 1970 with some 30 feature-length episodes per year, which makes it the longest-running German TV drama. Developed by the German public-service broadcasting organisation ARD for their channel Das Erste, it is unique in its approach, in that it is jointly produced by all of the organisation's regional members as well as its partnering Austrian and Swiss national public-service broadcasters, whereby every regional station contributes a number of episodes to a common pool. Therefore, the series is a collection of different police stories where different police teams each solve crimes in their respective city. Uniqueness in architecture, customs and dialects of the cities is therefore a distinctive part of the series and often the city, not the police force, is the real main character of an episode. The concept of local stations only producing a couple of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vier Frauen Und Ein Todesfall
''Vier Frauen und ein Todesfall '' is an Austrian crime television series, first aired on the Austrian television channel "ORF eins" in 2005. The show also aired in Switzerland on SRF1, in Germany on RTL Crime and on the Franco-German TV network Arte dubbed in French. The sending-rights were sold to Slovenia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia and Denmark. Plot The four so-called "funeral friends" live in a small Austrian village and visit every funeral there. They always have their own theories about how people died and start investigations themselves because of the incompetence of the village police. With that, they often make enemies among the village's other inhabitants. Critical reception At the beginning the show seemed to be a flop, but the ratings are still very good (1.3 million). Apart from the setting in a very picturesque landscape the show offers a typical Austrian sense of humour and a sometimes unorthodox image of women. See also *List of Austrian televisi ...

Opera De Marseille
Opera is a form of theatre in which music is a fundamental component and dramatic roles are taken by singers. Such a "work" (the literal translation of the Italian word "opera") is typically a collaboration between a composer and a librettist and incorporates a number of the performing arts, such as acting, scenery, costume, and sometimes dance or ballet. The performance is typically given in an opera house, accompanied by an orchestra or smaller musical ensemble, which since the early 19th century has been led by a conductor. Although musical theatre is closely related to opera, the two are considered to be distinct from one another. Opera is a key part of the Western classical music tradition. Originally understood as an entirely sung piece, in contrast to a play with songs, opera has come to include numerous genres, including some that include spoken dialogue such as ''Singspiel'' and ''Opéra comique''. In traditional number opera, singers employ two styles of sing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
