Con más de 50 millones en Estados Unidos continental, y otros 4 millones en  Puerto Rico, los hispanos ya no se encuentran en tan sólo unos pocos estados,  sino en todo el país, según las cifras del censo. Como el grupo minoritario más  grande y de más rápido crecimiento en Estados Unidos, la capacidad de la  comunidad hispana de prosperar es vital para el futuro de nuestro país, y  crítico para nuestros esfuerzos de superar al resto del mundo en educación,  innovación y construcción.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';"&gt;Conforme a este espíritu, el  tema del Mes de la Herencia Cultural Hispana de 2011 es "Renovando el Sueño  Americano". El enfoque de esta semana sobre "nuestra prosperidad" surge al mismo  tiempo que el Presidente remite su plan para impulsar el crecimiento económico y  la creación de empleos al Comité Conjunto, un plan que sienta las bases para  prosperidad de los años venideros. Partiendo de la base del progreso ya  alcanzado y el plan del Presidente para seguir adelante, la Administración  celebrará una diversidad de actividades esta semana en la Casa Blanca y en todo  el país, a través de la Administración de Negocios Pequeños y el Departamento de  Comercio.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';"&gt;Adicionalmente, la Casa  Blanca destacará a hispanos de toda la administración que hacen una contribución  hacia la visión del Presidente para ganar el futuro con un enfoque en la  economía en un mensaje de blog diario como parte de la serie de "Renovación del  Sueño Estadounidense" en &lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/hispanic" title="http://www.whitehouse.gov/hispanic"&gt;http://www.whitehouse.gov/hispanic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #1f497d;"&gt; y en español en &lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/espanol" title="http://www.whitehouse.gov/espanol"&gt;http://www.whitehouse.gov/espanol&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';"&gt;Vea abajo una lista de los  eventos planificados para esta semana.

Ahora, se trata de la ópera bufa &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Don Pasquale&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, que se presentará en los días 13 a 27 de mayo.

Se le puede escuchar de una forma distinta a la que nos tiene habituados, pues no es un rol de tenor, sino de barítono. Es algo que no debe sorprender a quienes conocen la trayectoria de Domingo, pues originalmente era un barítono que se “convirtió” a tenor, con un éxito indiscutible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-TRAD" style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: ES-TRAD; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: ES; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;En este caso, la producción de la ópera viene de España, de la &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;Opera de Oviedo&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;/b&gt;dirigida por Emili Sagi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-TRAD" style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: ES-TRAD; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5" class="MsoNormalTable" style="mso-cellspacing: 3.7pt; mso-padding-alt: 3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt; mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184; width: 100%;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr style="mso-yfti-firstrow: yes; mso-yfti-irow: 0; mso-yfti-lastrow: yes;"&gt;   &lt;td style="background-color: transparent; border: rgb(0, 0, 0); padding: 3.75pt;"&gt; L&lt;span lang="ES" style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: ES; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;a información con los   detalles de ambas óperas y la forma de conseguir entradas, está en inglés a   continuación: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-TRAD" style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: ES-TRAD; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 5pt;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Iphigénie en Tauride&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Washington   National Opera (WNO), under the leadership of General Director Plácido   Domingo, presents Christoph Willibald Gluck's masterpiece Iphigénie en   Tauride in eight performances, May 6 to 28 at the Kennedy Center Opera House.   Starring soprano Patricia Racette as Iphigénie and world-renowned tenor   Plácido Domingo as Oreste, Gluck's mythological tale is led by William Lacey   in this powerful and suspenseful production from Opera de Oviedo. Iphigénie   en Tauride is performed in French with English supertitles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An acclaimed singing-actress, American soprano Patricia Racette makes her   role debut as the eponymous Iphigénie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Maestro   Domingo sings Iphigénie's long-lost brother, Oreste, one of the star tenor's   recent forays into the baritone repertoire. His Oreste with the Metropolitan   Opera was hailed as "dignified, inward, [and] tragic" (Opera News)   and "enthusiastically operatic" (Washington Post). In his final   appearance as WNO's General Director, Maestro Domingo will sing Oreste in all   performances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The all-star cast also features Italian bass-baritone Simone Alberghini, last   seen in Washington as Figaro in 2009's The Barber of Seville, as the cruel   and savage King Thoas of Tauris; and American tenor Shawn Mathey as Oreste's   faithful friend Pylade. A story of love, sacrifice, and fate, Iphigénie en   Tauride is based on the ancient Greek playwright Euripides' play of the same   name. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 5pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;The   opera tells the tale of Iphigénie, saved by the goddess Diana only to be held   captive on the island of Tauris to serve as the goddess' high priestess.   Wracked by omens of his downfall and suspicious of all who come to the   island, King Thoas orders Iphigénie to sacrifice two newly arrived strangers.   Unbeknownst to Iphigénie, one of the strangers is her own brother Oreste, who   has left Greece after murdering their mother Clytemnestra, herself a   murderous force. Iphigénie is tormented by dreams of her family's bloody past   and desperately struggles to save the two prisoners. As the hour of sacrifice   draws near, mistaken identity, a battle, and the intervention of the gods   ensues in this powerful and dramatic work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A seminal work in the history of opera, Iphigénie en Tauride is considered   Gluck's masterpiece. Composed in 1779,. Iphigénie en Tauride is today the   most performed of Gluck's operas and admired for its haunting, moving   melodies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leading the WNO Orchestra and Chorus is William Lacey, who won high praise   when he led WNO's Tamerlano in 2008. Directing his production from Spain's   Opera de Oviedo is Emilio Sagi, with a production team that includes set   design by Luis Antonio Suarez; costumes by Pepa Ojaguren; lighting by Eduardo   Bravo; and choreography by Diniz Sanchez.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;

American bass-baritone James Morris makes his WNO debut and role debut   as the blustery Don Pasquale. Russian sopranos Ekaterina Siurina and Julia   Novikova make their WNO debuts as Norina, and American baritone Dwayne Croft   returns to WNO to sing Dr. Malatesta.

Cobbled together from cardboard, paper, string, and wire, materials that he cut, folded, threaded, and glued, Picasso’s silent instrument resembled no sculpture ever seen before. In 1914 the artist reiterated his fragile papery construction in a more fixed and durable sheet metal form.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none;
