I can’t think of a better way to start 2021: Rai1 at 12,20pm #concert at the Opera House Fenice with the orchestra all over the theatre! Looking forward to this new way of enjoying #CapodannoFenice for a #HappyNewYear2021 May this year be a rebirth for the arts @teatrolafenice

@ThomasCoward3 I spy a cat in the last photo. (Hopefully didn’t get too soggy.) It looks like this was quite a high Alta 😞

The Iliad gets its name from Greek Īlion, the alternative name for the city of Troy.

Because of poetic metre and a city called 'Wilusa' in Hittite, we believe that the Greek name used to be Wilion. This changed with the loss of the sound /w/, represented by the archaic letter ϝ.

I completely agree, Vivaldi!
Venetian composer #AntonioLucioVivaldi (1678-1741) wrote this Concerto for violin in '#trombamarina' in G Major c.1701-1741.

I was inspired to search for this #manuscript while listening to the wonderful recordings of Concerti for #violin in tromba marina RV 221 (D Major) & RV 311 (G Major), performed by @AdeSerenissima with the @LaSerenissimaUK ensemble. 🎼🎻🎶🎵

@flauritzen @ThomasCoward3 I wonder if it should say “Our Latest Tutorials”, rather than ‘Last’? (However, if this is usual in U.K. English, it is new to me as an American English speaker!)
