4 – Green Beans

Added fiber and crunchiness, green beans also offer a plethora of vitamin nutrition. They also are a low calorie filler for dogs who like to eat between meals, but are watching their figure.

5 – Watermelon

Chock full of the antioxidant lycopene, watermelons are mild enough for most dogs to eat. In addition to the nutrient packed goodness, the juiciness is enough to add a little extra hydration on a hot day.

Barcarolle ♫ Belle Nuit, ô Nuit d'Amour

Barcarolle - Offenbach
Belle Nuit, ô Nuit d'Amour
Subtitles - French & English

Often referred to as the "Barcarolle" - is a piece from The Tales of Hoffmann, Jacques Offenbach's final opera. A duet for soprano and mezzo-soprano, it is considered the most famous barcarolle ever written and described in the Grove Book of Operas as "one of the world's most popular melodies."
The text, concerning the beauty of the night and of love, is by Jules Barbier.

A barcarole (from French, also barcarolle; originally, Italian barcarola, from barca ‘boat’) is a folk song sung by Venetian gondoliers, or a piece of music composed in that style. In classical music, two of the most famous barcaroles are Jacques Offenbach’s “Belle nuit, ô nuit d’amour”, from his opera The Tales of Hoffmann; and Frédéric Chopin’s Barcarole in F sharp major for solo piano. A barcarole is characterized by a rhythm reminiscent of the gondolier’s stroke, almost invariably a moderate tempo 6/8 meter.

Elīna Garanča ♪ Mezzo-Soprano ♪ Nicklausse
Anna Netrebko ♪ Soprano ♪ Giulietta

Elīna Garanča (born September 16, 1976) is a Latvian operatic lyric mezzo-soprano. She was born into a musical family in Riga, Latvia, where her father was a choral conductor and her mother a singer, under whom she learned at the Latvian Academy of Music before continuing her studies in Vienna and the United States.

She is a consummate artist whose distinctively dark, sultry voice boasts a power and warmth to which her regal bearing and alluring looks provide the perfect counterpoise.

Anna Netrebko (born 18 September 1971) is a Russian operatic soprano. In 2007 she became the first classical musician to be selected as one of the Time 100, Time magazine’s list of the most influential people in the world.

The piece opens The Tales of Hoffmann‘s third act, set in Venice. It is sung by the characters Giulietta– the protagonist Hoffmann’s love, a Venetian courtesan – and Nicklausse – Hoffmann’s poetic muse, in disguise as his faithful male companion. In addition to the Venetian location it sets the seductive and sinister tone of the Venice act in general and of Giulietta’s character specifically. The music reappears later in the act in a septet, “Hélas! Mon cœur s’égare encore,” which was constructed by editors of the opera.

“Belle nuit” is in the 6/8 time signature characteristic of barcarolles, allegretto moderato. Approximately a minute of musical introduction occurs before the melody appears, although a flute accompaniment figure which suggests the melody, “suspend[ing] time” and creating anticipation for the melody before it begins, is played throughout the piece. Although it is sung by a juvenile male character, Nicklausse, in a “breeches role”, and a female character, Giulietta, the fact of its being fundamentally a piece for two women’s voices, intertwining in the same octave, means that in productions where Nicklausse has been played by a male baritone instead of a female mezzo-soprano, his part has been reassigned to a chorus soprano.

Differences Between 

Film  &  Stage
Version The film is significantly different from the Broadway musical.

In the stage version, Sally Bowles is English (as she was in Christopher Isherwood's "Goodbye to Berlin").
In the film version, she is American.
The character of Cliff Bradshaw was renamed Brian Roberts and made British (as was Isherwood, upon whom the character was based) rather than American as in the stage version. 

The characters and plot lines involving Fritz, Natalia and Max were pulled from I Am a Camera and did not appear in the stage version of Cabaret (or in "Goodbye to Berlin"), and a minor character named Max in the stage version, the owner of the Kit Kat Klub, bears no relation to the character in the film. 
In the film, Sally is a very good singer, whereas the stage version often portrays her as being untalented.
Fosse cut several of the songs, leaving only those that are sung within the confines of the Kit Kat Klub and "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" – sung in a beer garden (in the stage musical, it is sung first by the cabaret boys and then at a private party).
The most significant change from the original stage version of Cabaret involves the cutting of the two main characters, Fraulein Schneider, who runs a boarding house, who is reduced to a single line in the film, and her love interest, Herr Schultz, a German grocer, whose character doesn't exist at all. The plot line of their doomed romance, and the consequences of a German falling in love with a Jew during the rise of Nazi anti-semitism was cut. Also cut were the joyous "So What?" and the heartwrenching "What Would You Do", sung by Schneider, the song "Meeskite" sung by Schultz, and their two duets "It Couldn't Please Me More (The Pineapple Song)" (cut) and "Married" (reset as a piano instrumental, and a phonograph record), as well as a short reprise of "Married" sung alone by Schultz.
Kander and Ebb wrote several new songs for the film and removed others: "Don't Tell Mama" was replaced by "Mein Herr", and "The Money Song" (retained in an instrumental version as "Sitting Pretty") was replaced by "Money, Money". 

"Mein Herr" and "Money, Money", which were composed for the film version, were added to performances of the stage musical alongside the original numbers. The song "Maybe This Time", which Sally performs at the cabaret, was not written for the film. Kander and Ebb had written it years earlier for Kaye Ballard, thus it was ineligible for an Academy Award nomination. Although "Don't Tell Mama" and "Married" were removed as performed musical numbers, both were used in the film. The former's bridge section appears as instrumental music played on Sally's gramophone; the latter is initially played on the piano in Fraulein Schneider's parlor and later heard on Sally's gramophone in a German translation ("Heiraten") sung by cabaret singer Greta Keller.

Comments
Richard Donato:
So many movies age horribly.  But this isn't one of those.  I watched it on TCM and was pleasantly surprised how well it hasn't aged.  Even though it was made in 1972, it's just as fresh and relevant as it was in 1972.  Still holds the record for most Oscar wins without winning best picture.  But then it was against the Godfather.

Cabaret film

In 1972, the stage musical adaptation was in turn adapted as a film directed by Bob Fosse. The 1972 film's depiction of Sally significantly differs from earlier incarnations in that she is not British but American. According to unaccredited screenwriter Hugh Wheeler, he was tasked by ABC Pictures with bowdlerizing the source material and was forced to change Sally's nationality as well as to transform her into "a noble, suffering heroine" in order to increase the film's appeal. Key dialogue was likewise altered to make Sally appear more bisexual.

For her performance as Sally in the film, Liza Minnelli reinterpreted the character and — at the explicit suggestion of her father stage director Vincente Minnelli — she deliberately imitated film actress Louise Brooks, a flapper icon and sex symbol of the Jazz Age. In particular, she drew upon Brooks' "Lulu makeup and helmet-like coiffure." (Brooks, much like the character of Sally in the 1972 film, was an aspiring actress and American expat who temporarily moved to Weimar Berlin in search of stardom.) Ultimately, Minnelli won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Sally.

In a 1986 newspaper article published long after Jean Ross' death, her daughter Sarah Caudwell indicated that Ross disapproved of the 1972 film's depiction of Sally Bowles: "In the transformations of the novel for stage and cinema the characterisation of Sally has become progressively cruder" and, consequently, the literary character originally based on Ross had been transmogrified into a freakish vamp.

Isherwood himself was critical of the 1972 film adaptation due to its negative portrayal of homosexuality:

"In the film of Cabaret, the male lead is called Brian Roberts. He is a bisexual Englishman; he has an affair with Sally and, later, with one of Sally's lovers, a German baron.... Brian's homosexual tendency is treated as an indecent but comic weakness to be snickered at, like bed-wetting."
