Hello & Hugs DN Family of Friends of Mine, Greeting from
The Sunshine State of California.......

I have a story to share , I just spoke with my sister-in-law
Elisa on Wednesday. She shared that she recently had
been to our Hollywood Bowl for the summer season.
The renowned Gustavo Dudamel conducted Giselle,
such a beautiful ballet. Two most talented dancers
of the new generation graced the stage & stole
the night with multiple standing Ovations.

Sergie Polunin of Ukrain & Natalia of Russia. Elisa raved, I immediately researched also falling in love with these two beautiful artists. So happy to share the treasure given to
me by Elisa with you....

God bless wishing you & your loved ones a most
lovely & beautiful Sunday....Thank you for your
friendship , it brings meaning me & kitties.
Always Carmen, Picasso & Pasha..........



What is the story behind Giselle?
The ballet is about a peasant girl named Giselle, who dies of a broken heart after discovering her lover is betrothed to another. The Wilis, a group of supernatural women who dance men to death, summon Giselle from her grave. They target her lover for death, but Giselle's great love frees him from their grasp.

“One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”

To Hester, all the world seemed full of melody. Even the clouds in the sky sailed slowly along in time to a stately march in her brain, or danced to the tune of a merry schottische that sounded for her ears alone. And when she saw the sunset from the hill behind her home, there was always music then — low and tender if the colors were soft and pale-tinted, grand and awful if the wind blew shreds and tatters of storm-clouds across a purpling sky. ~Eleanor H. Porter, "A Delayed Heritage," 1904

De Santany� vaig partir' from the album 'Mediterraneo' by Christina Pluhar / L'Arpeggiata

L'Arpeggiata records Cavalli: l'Amore innamorato (Armonia)
https://youtu.be/lxKZxf2EoFc


In L’Amore innamorato Christina Pluhar's ensemble L'Arpeggiata and sweet-voiced sopranos Nuria Rial and Hana Blaž�kov� offer us a gem, a rarity that cleverly borrows the title of a mysterious opera by Cavalli, thought to have been lost or perhaps never premiered.


Hana Blaž�kov� (born 2 December 1980) is a Czech soprano and harpist. She is focused on Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque music, appearing internationally. She has recorded as a member of the Bach Collegium Japan, among many others.

the harpist here is Sarah Louise Ridy, a baroque harpist who plays with many groups but not Omnia. The harpist from Omnia is Jenny Evans van der Harten.

Hiya. I am sorry that I haven't ben visiting, but by the time I have been arriving home after work, I have been exhausted. I have a feeling it is the build up just starting again. It always knocks me until I get adjusted to it. Most people I speak with have the same thing to say, so I'm not alone. It is even effectingthe furbabies. They are rat bags, (but so adorable). Hope you are doing well. I have been thinking of you. I will try to come on a bit more frequent. Take care. Thinking of you & sending you love and best wishes. Den & The Furbabies xxx

♥♥ Wishing You A Lovely Monday and New Week ♥♥

Poem in verses by Ottavio Rinuccini:

Zephyr returns and gentle words
from fa grateful ago It is the footer he dissolves in the waves
and mormoranda among the green fronds,
makes danzar to the beautiful sound su'l meadow flowers.

Garlanded crin Phyllis and Chloris
notes tempering their care and joyous;
and by mountains and valleys and ime profond
have dealt harmony singing the caves.
Vaguer rises in the sky the dawn, e'l sun,
sheds more light d'or; the most pure silver
boasts of Teti the beautiful cerulean mantle.

Sol I, for abandoned forests and sun,
the ardor of two beautiful eyes e'l my torment,
as does my good fortune, I cry hor hor hand.



Peace, Love & Harmony For Our Dn Family of Friends,
Always with Gratitude & Appreciation, your Bonilla
Family love you to the moon & back......
Basket of hugs for all, Carmen, Picasso & Pasha !!
