Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

Statistics NZ said 25,273 people migrated to New Zealand from Australia in 2015, almost two thirds of them were New Zealanders returning home. A total of 24,504 people moved from New Zealand to Australia, making a net flow of 769 people to New Zealand. This marks the highest net flow of Australians heading to New Zealand since 1991. In 2012 a record 53,000 New Zealand residents had departed for Australia, while just 13,900 people moved the other way. New Zealand and Australia have an agreement which allows most citizens to live and work in either country. New Zealand's economic and political stability, along with the end of Australia's mining boom, have been credited for the shift.

Opera in English The history of opera in the English language commences in the 17th century. Earliest examples[edit] In England, one of opera's antecedents in the 16th century was an afterpiece which came at the end of a play; often scandalous and consisting in the main of dialogue set to music arranged from popular tunes. Purcell and his contemporaries[edit] The approach of the English Commonwealth closed theatres and halted any developments that may have led to the establishment of English opera. 18th and 19th centuries[edit] Besides Arne, the other dominating force in English opera at this time was George Frideric Handel, whose opera serias filled the London operatic stages for decades, and influenced most home-grown composers such as John Frederick Lampe to write using Italian models in imitation of him. 20th century - today[edit] Audio link[edit] See also[edit] Notes[edit] Jump up ^ Stanley W.
