Le nozze di Figaro. This play is also famous for the septet in Act Two: Starting with one, then two, three, four, five, six and in the end seven characters discuss with each other during a thrilling music part, which lasts for twenty minutes without, however, losing its clarity and power.
Briefly Review:
The positive elements are the impressive (and long-lasting) production, the colorful costumes, the (of course) excellent music, the ideal and fitting interpretations.
The cult figure of the pianist - dressed like a "blue prisoner" and his moves, as well as the passionate actors, stood out.

I adored
Cheryl Edison (Founder, Business Innovation Advisor and Strategist) and her thoughts. But overall, all participants did a good job awhile there was also a presentation of the ARCore and an introduction to Machine Learning – Angular.
“I don't wear it either,
I can't without you.”“The light blue shirt, sometimes I wore it and sometimes you wore it.”(from the song of G. Dalaras)

“The light blue shirt, you never wore it again.”
And if so, why?
Today's photography may not represent your favorite style, but because the blue or the light blue color this year is in fashion (and every year it's style is in fashion to such an era that aries Spring), I have a simple, everyday suggestion for your to wear on your morning walks in the city's center.
Nameday wishes in Vangelis, Evangelia
(Yes, Lily comes out of Evangelia, thank you for the wishes!) and lots of happy years in all the Hellenism!Today in Greece we celebrate the 25th March with a double holiday:
The successful Greek Revolution War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire in 1821 and the Annunciation by archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary that she should become the mother of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
There is a quote on that:
"Life is all about balance.
You don’t always need to be getting stuff done.
Sometimes it’s perfectly okay, and absolutely necessary, to shut down, kick back and do nothing."— Lori Deschene.
Happy Long weekend (Saturday, Sunday and this Monday the 25th as a Greek national holiday) to you all! 🌸☀️🌺
Thoughts aren't black and white they're all colours and shades
From the pastels to the brightest to the dull and gloomiest of greys
And so is the canvas of love from the passionate pinks and reds to happy yellows and gay blues. From the exciting royal purples to the calm and pleasing greens
Love isn't pure and stark white of hope and happiness laid bare
Always stained with a little black of anger and doubt and despair
You have to dip the brush of life and be content with what you get
And hope that the design of love matches your heart's pallette.

Today's photos are from earlier this morning in the sunny Athen's city center from the balcony of Ciccus bar where I've enjoyed my first coffee of the day. On the background it's the Stoa of Attalos and you can look up more info on this Greek archaeological site by clicking here
I was in Nafplio there was a wonderful sunny day and the carnival started at 17.00 from the Department of Theater Studies (Old Prefecture of Nafplion) to end with the traditional (and always impressive) symbolic burning of the Carnival King at the port of the town.
The feast was continued with a concert at Filellinon Square and latin dances at Syntagma Square, the crowd was happy and the children were excited.
I admit that the Carnival though it's not on my favorite holidays and I don't like to be disguised - but with this particular walk - today was a really nice day.
Do you want to know what flavor is this?

Have you heard Katerina's Duska amazing song for this year's Eurovision?I may be bragging right now but I'm glad to say moments like this how proud I am for my music education (proved and through me oldest posts) as I was among those who had for many years believed in Katerina Duska's special voice while at the same time I was wondering how come and this lady is not yet worldwide known - when unfortunately not many people knew her in her own country.
But I think that Paulo Coelho sees vindication and Katerine Duska has finally her chance for international recognition and career with the song Better Love and her participation in this year's Eurovision!
Go girl! Go! Go Greece!
