Details

When news of the violent death of Captain James Cook finally reached England in January 1780 it created a sensation. Cook’s earlier voyages of discovery had stimulated a huge interest in the exotic world of the Pacific, and Mai, the young Ra’iatean who arrived in London in 1774 with Tobias Furneaux, became one of the most celebrated figures in London during the two years he spent there. At Christmas 1785, several years after Mai’s return to the Society islands and Cook’s death in Hawaii, Covent Garden staged a new pantomime entertainment entitled Omai, or, A Trip Round the World. By celebrating Mai in mimed action and song, this work fed the public fascination with the primitive past – its rituals, artifacts and crafts – while managing to portray the death of Cook with a theatrical sense of symbolism. William Shield’s score was remarkable for including Polynesian instruments which had been brought back to England by Lieutenant James Burney, one of Furneaux’s officers and the son of the distinguished music historian Dr Charles Burney. Although the original orchestral parts have not survived, Robert Hoskins and David Vine have cleverly reconstructed the core of the work from the vocal score along with the closing apotheosis of Captain Cook. The edition is prefaced by a fascinating introduction to the work by Robert Hoskins, the leading authority on William Shield.

Must buy: Comfort + Casual + Well Made / Ventilated
Size: 8, Color: Brown
Just buy it! I have put in roughly 15,000 steps in this shoes in 10 days and I can't believe how comfortable they are after this much rough use in short amount of time. I highly recommend this shoes to anyone looking for comfort in casual style.

WIDE Dress Shoes With SUPPORT
Size: 10.5, Color: Brown
I've seen dress shoes and worn dress shoes before, but these are simply the best dress shoes I've ever worn my entire life. 99% of dress shoes have the same problem, they have the thinnest little soles that offer no support. BRUNO MARC HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. These dress shoes not only support wide feet like mine who historically have had and still have little support in the market, but Bruno Marc has wide options that fit perfectly, and the support with the thick foam sole is so needed and awesome. I had a pleasant surprise putting these things on and there being some tactile grip enhancers inside the shoe so you can feel the shoes better and get a little tickle / massage while you're at it. These things are dripping with style, easy to wear, and while they might look firm on the outside, on the inside the shoe just has such a nice flexibility and foamy feel, the top where the top of your feet feel the roof of the shoe, it has such perfect ooey gooey support I can't believe it. The outside sole also has this neat tactile feel. The durability looks good and feels good for now.

Comfortable and complimentary
Size: 11, Color: Brown
The shoes are very comfortable and easily broke in after two wears. I get several compliments on them daily, and others have purchased them after seeing mine. I also have the black pair, but the brown ones are my favorite. Sizing is true to size, an excellent value for your money, and they are lightweight and breathable. The soles are thick, which makes them extremely comfortable.

Comfy and non slip! Amazing!
Size: 9.5, Color: All Black
I work 12hrs sometimes on my feet. These shoes are amazing !!! Broke them in on a 10hr shift and they feel like walking on pillows. My feet were comfy and not throbbing. I felt the difference in the non slip in the kitchen and I’ll say it outright……. Worth the $40! I got the brown coming and I’m assuming they’ll be just as comfortable. Bruno Marc’s are great!
