Shakespeare: Britain’s beacon for the arts, business and politics reflects on issues such as national identity and historical truth — at home and abroad.

@_OrbanAnita Recalling #Liszt and #Wagner’s close relationship could today help strengthening Hungary and Germany’s political ties.
Liszt supported Wagner financially, especially during his exile. Wagner married Liszt's daughter Cosima in 1870. #CulturalDiplomacy

@XiaoAsia @ChopinFryderyk @magyarpeterMP @_OrbanAnita @abouthungary @visit_hungary @HungaryintheEU @LisztMuseumBUD @HCCLondon @YujaWang Across Europe, #Liszt connected composers, artists, audiences and musical forms — Queen Victoria discussed music with him in 1886.
In his Chopin biography, Liszt noted that Chopin was “always treated en Prince”.

@XiaoAsia @ArchWarszawska @ChopinInstitute In documenting #Shakespeare’s early life, UK institutions struggle to balance national identity and historical truth. The same seems to apply to #Chopin. What is the attitude of the Church of Poland?

The Chopin Institute states that #Chopin was baptised on Easter Sunday. Yet 23 April 1810 was a Monday, and Easter Sunday fell a week earlier. How should this discrepancy be explained?

A paraphrasing of Goethe, not Dvořák?

It would be more interesting to study and rewrite #Shakespeare’s real parentage (probably Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots). ⁦⁦@ShakesInstitute⁩ ⁦@ShakespeareBT⁩ https://t.co/YXHpWYA0Ln

Ref. the two reposts below.

@RhodaNunn @AvonSwan @wabbey @ShakespeareBT @ShakesInstitute @BSAShakespeare @TheRSC @EuroShakespeare @FolgerLibrary @BritishCouncil @RSLiterature @royalacademy @royalsociety @ace_national @stanley_wells @Paul_Edmondson It’s said about #Shakespeare's "Hamlet” that the truth is often misinterpreted and identified as false, while deception is perceived as fact. - Does that illustrate why so few scholars seek the truth about Shakespeare’s (royal) parentage?

Polish cultural relations with Lithuania also build on the stature of Czesław Miłosz (1911-2004), who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 1980: https://t.co/GGXM7tVroh #CzesławMiłosz | https://t.co/LBTKe5QhTC

En un concierto de la Sociedad Musical Rusa ofrecido en honor al compositor, el 1 de mayo de 1886 se estrena la tercera y definitiva versión de 'Romeo y Julieta', obertura-fantasía para orquesta, de Piotr Illich Tchaikovsky, bajo la dirección de Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov.

[Miguel Urbaneja C. @MikhailUC]

'Romeo y Julieta' es de las muy escasas obras de Tchaikovsky que no aparece numerada dentro de su catálogo musical con un Opus. Sin embargo, es de las más célebres, sobre todo por su hermosísimo y conocido tema de amor, tan recordado en la cultura general.
