On 28th July 1948, several opera lovers gathered around Gabriel Dussurget and presented Così fan tutte in the cour de l'Archevêché, the first opera of the Festival d'Aix. The repercussions were considerable; it was the start of an incredible adventure for which we are now celebrating the first six decades.
This 2008 Festival d'Aix pays tribute to the founders and all those who came after them. It bears the signs of the great moments which have thrilled hundreds of thousands of festival goers. It covers four centuries of operatic production while also scrutinising our world and its future.
Rather than select "one" commemorative moment, the whole festival will be a joyful celebration, through operas, concerts, exhibitions, meetings, courses and master classes...

A few exhibitions in France:
Geoportal ( better than Google Earth?)
France unveiled a new service that would allow residents to view ultra-high resolution images of the country as well as its territories.
Called Geoportal, the site offers the ability to zoom in to as close as 20 inches off the ground, the best resolution available in Europe. 400,000 images comprise the tool along with 3,700 maps, which are updated every five years.
In a ceremony unveiling the new technology, President Jacques Chirac called the move significant as it "places France at the forefront of new technologies." Although some may see it as a bid to compete with Google Earth, Geoportal differs in the fact it can only show images of French territories.
The system was developed by the National Geographic, and much like Google Earth it would be switchable from aerial to detailed maps, and soon even 3-D imagery. However, unlike its counterpart geological data would also be added. The entire project cost France six million euros to develop.
But don't expect to be able to access Geoportal for the near future, as the site has been unable to handle the heavy traffic following its debut. BetaNews checks on Friday afternoon indicated that the site was still having problems.
