Random British Royal tidbits

I'm reading "The Vanity Fair Diaries" by Tina Brown and came across this tidbit:

Monday May 26, 1986

"We had lunch with the preposterous Princess Michael of Kent, who looked about fifteen hands high in an orange silk wrap dress. She has developed a mad, false laugh and a new Lady Bracknell voice for dealing with inferiors. "Row-eena," she gushed at the cowed debutante she totes around as her "lady in waiting." "where is the Dom Perignon? It was sitting outside but those fooooools have taken it away! Find it!" (Mad false laugh.) "Isn't the service quite diabolical? Do shut the kitchen door, Rowena. I hate to stare into a kitchen!"

From The Vanity Fair Diaries by Tina Brown, p. 199

Princess Michael of Kent, nee' Baroness Marie-Christine Anna Agnes Hedwig Ida von Reibnitz, would have been 41 at the time of this lunch. She was born in the German-occupied Sudetenland in what is now the Czech Republic. Her father, Baron Günther Hubertus von Reibnitz, was a descendant of the ancient Reibnitz family, Silesian landowners, who trace their ancestry back to 1288. He was a Nazi party member and a SS calvary officer during WWII.

Princess Michael's mother was Countess Maria Anna Carolina Franziska Walburga Bernadette Szapary von Muraszombath, Szechysziget und Szapar.  The House of Szapáry is an old and important Hungarian noble family. Members of this family held the title of Imperial Count granted to them on 28 December 1722 by Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor.

Princess Michael's parents divorced n 1948 and she with her mother and eldest brother moved to Rose Bay, Australia. In the early 1960s, she lived with her father on his farm in Mozambique.  She then went from Vienna to London to study History of Fine and Decorative Art at the Victoria and Albert Museum.  

She first married an English banker in 1971, but divorced in 1977. Once month after her marriage was annulled by the Pope, she married Prince Michael of Kent, Queen Elizabeth II's first cousin. She has said that Lord Mountbatten played matchmaker.

The lady-in-waiting mentioned in the excerpt is The Hon. Rowena Hawke Leatham Sanders, daughter of the 9th Baron Hawke of Towton.

The Baron of Towton peerage title was created on 20 May 1776 for the admiral Sir Edward Hawke (of Scarthingwell Hall in the parish of Towton), responsible for a blockade of all French merchant shipping and the grounding of six French ships, and scattering of the rest, at the Battle of Quiberon Bay.  

Rowena Hawke's sister, Annabel, pictured above.

Rowena's father, Bladen Wilmer Hawke, 9th Baron of Towton, above. He served as a Lord-in-waiting (government whip in the House of Lords from 1953 to 1957 in the Conservative administrations of Churchill, Eden and MacMillan.  

Another of Rowena's sisters, Lavinia, married Nicholas MacLean-Bristol. She became a Justice of the Peace and lives in 15th century Old Breachacha Castle on the Isle of Coll in Scotland. This tower fortress was the stronghold of the MacLean clan. The Isle of Coll was granted to the MacLeans in 1431. There is also a new "castle" on this island, built in 1750, which is available to rent for just £1500 for a party of two for one week.

Rowena lives at Hankerton Priory, Malmesbury, Wiltshire, and borrowed a page from her sister's notebook, as her home is also available as an Air BNB rental - hosted by Rowena! Perhaps she will tell you stories about her days with Princess Michael if you stay with her?

Ruins and Shelters

*Is there any genuine difference, in the long run? Maybe in Italy, which has had more long-run than most places.

via e-flux.

Demanio Marittimo.KM-278 is the marathon dedicated to architecture, arts, design and to the Adriatic dimension curated by Cristiana Colli and Pippo Ciorra. As every year, the XIV Edition takes place on a public beach in Marzocca di Senigallia on Friday, July 19, no stop from 6pm to 6am.

RUINS&SHELTERS is the theme of this year. On the one hand, it focuses on the accelerated production of ruins produced by wars, conflicts and catastrophes. On the other hand, it reminds us the need to find different forms of shelter/protection for increasingly fragile communities and individuals. 

The setting for the event is the result of a students’ competition hosted by SAAD, School of Architecture University of Camerino. Winning team for the OLTRE project are Fatijon Ademaj, Michele Forti, Qendron Mema, Gloria Seri, Elisa Valori.

Demanio opens with a tribute to this year’s Master of Territory, Guido Guidi. His work will be discussed with Simona Antonacci,Carlo Birrozzi and Antonello Frongia. Paolo Volponi’s 100 Years anniversary will be celebrated by lectures held by Massimo Raffaeli, Aldo Bonomi and Giovanni Russo, curator of an exhibition organized at the Ducal Palace of Urbino. 

An interdisciplinary focus will be dedicated to Kosovo with the curator and critic Alex Fisher, the Mayor of Pristina, Perparim Rama, the curators of Hangar e Autostrada Biennale Leutrim Fishekqiu and Vatra Abrashi, the artists Sislej Xhafa, Artan Hajrullahu, Blerta Hashani. 

Another experience in the field of cultural heritagewill be discussed by Andrea Viliani, Director of the Museum of Civilizations in Rome and curator of the international program Pompeii Commitment, and Davide Quadrio, Director of MAO (Museum of Oriental Art) in Turin.

RUINS&SHELTERS is also a concept that brings us to the fragile centrality of the Living Being, ethical and self-reflective when it comes to humans, “natural” for non-human beings. Sociologist and writer Marco Dotti will discuss the subject with architectural historian Francesco Benelli and composer David Monacchi.

2024 commemorates 150 years since the birth of Guglielmo Marconi. It was from the Colle dei Cappuccini in Ancona that on August 7, 1904 he initiated the legendary “radio” connection with Poldhu in Cornwall, 1750 kilometers away. Marconi’s legacy between will be the focus of the reflections of technological philosopher Cosimo Accoto with Andrea Borgnino and the artist Giovanni Gaggia.

The New York-based firm Lot-Ek will lecture about their work and offer a preview of the film dedicated to them by the director Tom Piper. Artists, designers, filmmakers will be oon stage. Gustav Düsing will talk about his award-winning project for the University of Braunschweig, introduced by Anna Sala of MVDR Foundation. Pietro Martino Federico Pizzi will present the Ceresè winery project, best building of the year, together with Grazzini, Tonazzini, Colombo, designers of the “Quintessenza” installation for the MAXXI. They will be introduced by Lorenza Baroncelli, director of MAXXI Architettura. 

Many installations, artworks, and public design experiments will be exhibited. A Villa Medici fellow artist, Alix Boillot, will present her work Grace. HPO, the Ferrara collective of young architects, will present the TTT installation. The London based collective Lemonot will present Talamo, a project created by the Marche company Noctis and produced by BASE for the last Milan Design Week, introduced by  Linda Di Pietro, director of BASE, and Lorenzo Petri. 

The frontiers of design will be explored by We are the Others (2024, 55 min), a film by Maria Cristina Didero and Francesca Molteni dedicated to the 40 years of activity of the Brazilian brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana. After the viewing, the authors will meet with Marva Griffin. Three shorter films, produced by the LINA fellows Ewa Effron, Laura Hurley, George Guedani in the frame of the MAXXI Architecture Film Lab will be introduced by the authors. 

The event is promoted by MAPPE magazine, Gagliardini Editore, Associazione Demanio Marittimo.Km-278 with the collaboration of MAXXI, the Municipality of Senigallia, the Marche Region and with the support of a wide network of businesses, institutions and associations.

OC Interview

Tagged by the incredible @dickeybbqpit​. Thank you, deary! I will tag @frecklef0x​, @trvelyans​, @kura-marty​, @apostatetabris​, and anyone else who would like to!

This is for my Sidestep good girl, just trying to get through this, Anna Maria Collings, aka Anonymous. Art by the talented @peebsayle​!

name ➔ “Um, Anna Maria Collings. Please don’t publish that, I like to keep a low profile. Could you just refer to me as the vigilante formerly known as Sidestep? Thanks.” are you single ➔ “That is personal!” She says quickly, blushing up a storm. “No?” are you happy ➔ “Not yet. I want to be.” There is a brief spark to her eyes, a determination that slips away after a too brief second.  are you angry ➔ She thinks a moment, crossing her legs, “No, not right now.”  are your parents still married ➔ She stares at the interviewer. “I would say no, we...uh...haven’t really communicated in years.” 

NINE FACTS

birthplace ➔ "The United States.” At the interviewer’s prompting look, she dips her head. “That’s as close as you’ll get. Sorry.”  hair color ➔ “Dark Brown. You can see that right? Or were you asking natural color? Because it is dark brown.” She rambles a bit more. “I have a few silver hairs, I know.”  eye color ➔ “I have heterochromatic eyes, unfortunately. One brown, one kind of a silvery blue.” She fiddles with her glasses. “I don’t like them, they make me stand out.” 

birthday ➔ “I celebrate my birthday on August 10th, only because Ortega and Anathema made a thing about it.” She has a fond, wistful smile. “They threw me a surprise party once...it was nice.” 

mood ➔ "Is tired a mood?” She sighs.  gender ➔ “I’m a woman.” She shrugs.  summer or winter ➔  “Winter. I like to wear layers and the summers here can be so hot.” 

morning or afternoon ➔ “Mornings. I’m more motivated in the mornings.” 

EIGHT THINGS ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE

are you in love ➔ She looks panicked and ready to flee. “I...maybe? Why do you need to know?” She gulps and then whispers to herself. “Bloody hell, probably.” 

do you believe in love at first sight ➔ “No. How would that work? It would be purely physical, wouldn’t it? You can’t tell what a person is like just from how they look.” She looks like she has a realization, then bats it away mentally. “I think love takes time.” 

who ended your last relationship ➔ “I...honestly I haven’t had a relationship before this-” She cuts herself off. “I’m not saying I’m in one now!” have you ever broken someone’s heart ➔ "No! Of course not!” are you afraid of commitments ➔ Anna Maria looks down at her hands, tugging at the edge of her suit jacket. “Yes. I’m afraid it won’t be returned. The commitment. If they see me, they won’t want me.” 

have you hugged someone within the last week? ➔ She smiles awkwardly, “Yes, surprisingly. I’m not much of a hugger, usually. I’m still getting used to the physical contact.”  have you ever had a secret admirer ➔ “No, I don’t...” She pauses, the wheels turning and then she blushes, “Yes...yes I have. Uh, they aren’t a secret anymore.”  have you ever broken your own heart? ➔ "I’ve lost count of the times.” 

SIX CHOICES

love or lust ➔ "Love. Love is better.”  lemonade or iced tea ➔ “Iced Tea. Preferably in the Southern style with lots of sugar and a slice of lemon.”  cats or dogs ➔ “I like them both, but dogs are my favorite.” Anna Maria says and smiles brightly for a moment, in spite of herself. “Especially one dog. He is a very good boy.” 

a few best friends or many regular friends ➔ “I prefer a few close friends. It’s hard to keep up with a lot of people. And I don’t like crowds.” wild night out or romantic night in ➔ She chuckles nervously. “I guess...a romantic night in? I’m not much of a partier.” She clears her throat.  day or night ➔ “Day. I like the sunshine.”

FIVE HAVE YOU EVERS

been caught sneaking out ➔ She smiles truly, a bit of confidence rising to the surface. “No, I am very good at moving silently and going unseen.” 

fallen down/up the stairs ➔ She tilts her head, considering the question. “No, I don’t think I have.”  wanted something/someone so badly it hurt? ➔ “Yes...there are many things I want...only a few I might actually have.” She picks at her sleeve, running her fingers over scars the interviewer can’t see.  wanted to disappear ➔ "Constantly.” She says immediately, then adds. “Less so recently.” 

FOUR PREFERENCES

smile or eyes ➔ “Smiles.” She gives a small one of her own, before her eyes make contact with the interviewer’s and she balks. “No one’s in particular!”  shorter or taller ➔ "Hm, I don’t think I have a preference, but taller?”  intelligence or attraction ➔ “Intelligence. I like strategy and clever puzzles.”  hook-up or relationship ➔ That panicked look again. “Relationships?” 

FAMILY

do you and your family get along ➔ “No...I would say we do not get along. I avoid them as much as possible and hope I never see them again.” She crosses her arms over her chest.  would you say you have a “messed up life” ➔ “You have no idea how much it is.”  have you ever ran away from home ➔ “I’ve never ran away from anywhere I considered home. Los Diablos is the closest thing to it and I can’t seem to leave it.”  have you ever gotten kicked out ➔ "I was never kicked out.” After a pause. “I was never let in, in one sense. Steel, um, never let me join the Rangers.”  

FRIENDS

do you secretly hate one of your friends ➔ “No. We may argue, but I don’t actually hate them. I think I’m too tired for that. It takes so much energy to hate.”  do you consider all of your friends good friends ➔ "I hope so.” She says. “I hope they consider me a good friend.”  who is your best friend ➔ She freezes, thinking about it. “Ortega...he knows me too well. He’s also my oldest friend.”  who knows everything about you ➔ “No one knows everything. I’m...a private person. Dan- I mean Herald and Ortega know more about me than I thought.” She mutters afterwords, “Probably more than they should.”

Hatria (Hadria) Picena ...Atri!

Atri è un sistema collinare : Maralto, Colle di Mezzo e Muralto.

Era abitata dalla tribù dei Pretuzi

Era un'importante città commerciale fin dall'età del bronzo anche grazie al suo porto che si trovava dove attualmente si trova la Torre di Cerrano.

Curiosità: il Mare Adriatico prende il nome da Hadria (Atri)

In epoca antica vennero abbandonati i colli dagli abitanti del posto che si spostarono sul punto più interno ed alto del Colle di Mezzo dove si trova la Piazza del Palazzo Ducale degli Acquaviva ed il Palazzo del Capitano Regio.

Infatti Atri divenne il Ducato della famiglia degli Acquaviva.

Sul Colle di Mezzo nella zona a picco sul mare dove oggi c'è il giardino comunale con la Villa comunale, in passato c'era era un convento.

La porta di ingresso della città medievale venne costruita nel 1300 e abbattuta intorno al 1800

Monumento simbolo della città di Atri è il campanile della Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta (che in origine era chiamata Santa Maria de Hatria), infatti uno dei lati della Basilica con i suoi 3 portali è il primo monumento che si incontra, percorrendo il corso principale denominato Elio Adriano, appena entrati nella città.

Lo stile di questa Basilica è romanico

Tra i tanti decori che arricchiscono i 3 portali laterali possiamo notare ad esempio i fiori abruzzesi a diamante.

Anche il portale sulla facciata principale è arricchito di tantissimi decori

L'interno della Basilica:

Modifiche principali effettuate nel tempo:

- prima c'erano 5 navate ora ne sono 3;

- i pilastri vennero inglobati in ottagoni.

Caratteristiche:

- arco a sesto acuto che arrivò in Europa con le Crociate che riprendono dalle costruzioni islamiche;

- circolo di affreschi realizzati dal pittore Abruzzese Andrea De Litio che lavorò anche a Firenze con Della Francesca;

- fonte battesimale;

- Cappella degli Acquaviva;

- grande cisterna d'acqua sotto la Basilica che serviva ad assicurare l'acqua alla parte centrale della città.

Tra gli affreschi situati sui pilastri possiamo individuare Santa Caterina d'Alessandria con la sua ruota dentata che è considerata la santa delle zitelle e la Trinità che viene rappresentata con 3 volti sullo stesso corpo.

Annick Massis French Coloratura Light Soprano María Stuarda Cavatina O nube! che lieve per l'aria ti aggiri ....Nella pace del mesto riposo(Oh cloud! How slight you wander through the air...In the peace of my sad rest) Maria Stuarda (The Queen Mary Stuart Of Scotland) Opera By Domenico Gaetano Maria Donizetti -Act I Settings Scene 1: Court of Queen Elizabeth I at Westminster

Argument: At the Palace of Westminster, courtiers attend the arrival of Queen Elizabeth as the marriage must bring together the crowns of England and France. In reality, the queen, although aware of the advantages of this union for her country, is attracted by another man different from the king of France and she confesses her doubt in a graceful cavatina Ah, quando all'ara scorgemi.

Taking advantage of the prevailing atmosphere, Talbot asks the queen to forgive Queen Marie Stuart, but her chancellor, Lord Cecil, advises executing her. Queen Elizabeth I asks heaven to guide her in her actions and threatens to take revenge on María Estuardo if it is confirmed that, as she supposes, Leicester is in love with he, since he is the man with whom Queen Elizabeth I is in love.- -O nube! che lieve per l'aria ti aggiri ....Nella pace del mesto riposo(Oh cloud! How slight you wander through the air...In the peace of my sad rest)-

Queen Mary Stuart Look: on the meadow it is born, fragrant and beautiful, the flower family, And to me, yes, he smiles at me. And the zephyr that returns from the beautiful beaches of France, tells me that I enjoy as in my first and happy youth. Oh cloud! How slight you wander through the air, carry my love, carry my sighs to the holy ground that one day raised me. Ah! Come down courteous, take me into your bosom, Take me to France, away from sorrows. But the cloud is also cruel, because it escapes towards the blessed land of my elders.

(In the distance you can hear the sound of french horns)

What's that noise!

Hunters (inside) To the forest, on the hunt. The deer appears on the hill, then runs away By the river, you look in the waters; Run fast to hurt to that deer!

Queen Mary Stuart What voices are those!

Anne Kennedy It's the sign of the royal hunt!

Queen Mary Stuart The sounds are close coming ...the horses ...

Casadores The Queen!

Mary Stuart Ah, what a fatal name!

Anne Kennedy The tyrant comes through the park.

Queen Mary Stuart In the peace of my sad rest He wants to hit me with a new horror. I was the one who called her but I don't want to see her. I don't have that much value! Let him stay on his golden throne, let his gaze drift away from me. I have been despised too much; no one has pity on me.

-O nube! che lieve per l'aria ti aggiri....Nella pace del mesto riposo(¡Oh nube! Que leve vagas por el aire ....En la paz de mi triste reposo) Italian Lyrics- La Reina María Estuardo Mira: sobre el prado nace, olorosa y bella, la familia de las flores, y a mí, sí, a mí me sonríe. Y el céfiro que vuelve de las bellas playas de Francia, me dice que yo goce como en mi primera y feliz juventud. ¡Oh nube! Que leve vagas por el aire, lleva mi cariño, lleva mis suspiros al suelo santo que un día me crió. ¡Ah! Desciende cortés, acógeme en tu seno, llévame hasta Francia, lejos de los pesares. Pero la nube es también cruel, pues se escapa hacia la bendita tierra de mis mayores.

(A lo lejos se oye el ruido de cuernos franceses)

¡Qué es ese ruido!

Cazadores (dentro) Al bosque, a la caza. El ciervo aparece en el cerro, después huye a la orilla del río, se mira en las aguas; ¡Corred veloces a herir a aquel ciervo!

La Reina María Estuardo ¡Qué voces son esas!

Ana Kennedy ¡Es la señal de la cacería real!

La Reina María Estuardo Se acercan los sonidos ... Los caballos ...

Casadores ¡La Reina!

María Estuardo ¡Ah, qué nombre fatal!

Ana Kennedy La tirana viene por el parque.

La Reina María Estuardo En la paz de mi triste reposo quiere golpearme con un nuevo espanto. Fui yo quien la llamé pero no quiero verla. ¡no tengo tanto valor! Que se quede en su trono dorado, que su mirada se aleje de mí. Demasiado he sido despreciada; nadie siente piedad por mí.

-O nube! che lieve per l'aria ti aggiri,.Nella pace del mesto riposo Lyrics Italian.- Maria Stuarda Guarda: sui prati appare Odorosetta e bella La famiglia de' fiori E a me, sì, a me sorride, E il zeffiro, che torna Da' bei lidi di Francia, Ch'io gioisca mi dice Come alla prima gioventù felice. O nube! che lieve per l'aria ti aggiri, Tu reca il mio affetto, tu reca i sospiri Al suolo beato che un dì mi nudrì. Deh! scendi cortese, mi accogli sui vanni, Mi rendi alla Francia, m'invola agli affanni! Ma cruda la nube pur essa fuggì Al suolo beato che un dì mi nudrì.

(Da lontano si ode il suono di trombe.)

Qual suono!

Cacciatori (da dentro) Al bosco, alla caccia! Il cervo si affaccia Dal colle muscoso, Poi fugge scherzoso Del rivo alle sponde: Si specchia nell'onde; Correte veloci Quel cervo a ferir.

María Quai voci!

Anna Kennedy Parmi il segno di caccia reale!

María S'avvicinano i suoni ... I destrieri ...

Cacciatori La Regina!

Maria Stuarda Ah! Qual nome fatale!

Anna Kennedy La tiranna pel parco sen va.

Maria Stuarda Nella pace del mesto riposo Vuol colpirmi di nuovo spavento. Io la chiesi, e vederla non oso, Tal coraggio non sento! Resti, resti sul trono adorata, Il suo sguardo da me sia lontan, Troppo, troppo, son io disprezzata; Tace in tutti per me la pietà.

-O nube! che lieve per l'aria ti aggiri,...Nella pace del mesto riposo (Oh nuage! Comme tu vagabondes dans les airs...Dans la paix de mon triste repos) French Lyrics- La Reine Marie Steuart Regarde: sur le pré, il est né, parfumé et beau, la famille des fleurs, Et pour moi, oui, il me sourit. Et le zéphyr qui revient des belles plages de France, me dit que j'aime comme dans ma première et heureuse jeunesse. Oh nuage! Comme tu vagabondes dans les airs, porte mon amour, porte mes soupirs à la terre sainte qui m'a un jour élevé. Ah! Descends courtois, emmène-moi dans ton sein, Emmenez-moi en France, loin des peines. Mais le nuage est aussi cruel, car il s'échappe vers la terre bénie de mes aînés.

(Au loin, tu peux entendre le son de cornes françaises)

Quel est ce bruit!

Chasseurs (Dedans) Pour la forêt, à la chasse. Le cerf apparaît sur la colline, puis s'enfuit Par la rivière, Tu regarde dans les eaux; Cours vite blesse ce cerf!

La Reine Marie Stuart Quelles voix sont celles!

Anne Kennedy C'est le signe de la chasse royale!

Queen Mary Stuart Les sons sont proches ... les chevaux ...

chasseurs La reine!

La Reine Maríe Steuart Ah, quel nom fatal!

Anne Kennedy La etyran traverse le parc.

La Reine Maríe Steuart Dans la paix de mon triste repos Il veut me frapper avec une nouvelle horreur. C'est moi qui l'ai appelée mais je ne veux pas la voir. Je n'ai pas tant de valeur! Laisse-la reste sur son trône d'or, laisse son regard s'éloigner de moi. J'ai été trop méprisé; personne n'a pitié de moi

-O nube! che lieve per l'aria ti aggiri....Nella pace del mesto riposo (Oh Wolke! Welch leichte Wanderung durch die Luft,...In der Ruhe meiner traurigen Ruhe) German Lyrics-

Die Königin Marie Stewart Sieh mal: Auf der Wiese geboren, duftend und schön, die Blumenfamilie, Und mich, ja, lächelt er mich an. Und der Zephyr, der zurückkommt von den schönen Stränden Frankreichs, sagt mir, dass ich genieße wie in meiner ersten und glücklichen Jugend. Oh Wolke! Welch leichte Wanderung durch die Luft, trage meine Liebe, trage meine Seufzer zu dem heiligen Boden, eines tages hat mich großgezogen Ah! Sei höflich, nimm mich in deinen Schoß, Bring mich nach Frankreich, weg von den Sorgen. Aber die Wolke ist auch grausam, weil es in Richtung entkommt das gesegnete Land meiner Ältesten.

(In der Ferne hört man französische Hörner)

Was ist das für ein Lärm!

Jägern (Innerhalb) In den Wald, auf die Jagd. Der Hirsch erscheint auf dem Hügel, dann rennt weg Am Fluss, du schaust in das Wasser; Schnell rennen diesem Hirsch weh tun!

Die Königin Marie Stewart Was sind das für Stimmen!

Hanna Kennedy Das ist das Zeichen der königlichen Jagd!

Die Königin Marie Stuart Die Geräusche kommen näher ... die Pferde ...

Jägern Die Königin!

Die Königin Marie Stewart Ah, was für ein tödliche Name!

Hanna Kennedy Der Tyrann kommt durch den Park.

Königin Marie Stewart In der Ruhe meiner traurigen Ruhe Er will mich mit einem neuen Entsetzen schlagen. Ich war derjenige, der sie angerufen hat, aber ich will sie nicht sehen. Ich habe nicht so viel Wert! Lass ihn auf seinem goldenen Thron bleiben, lass seinen Blick von mir wegdriften. Ich bin zu sehr verachtet worden; Niemand hat Mitleid mit mir.

-O nube! che lieve per l'aria ti aggiri,...Nella pace del mesto riposo (Oh nuvem! Quão leve você vagueia pelo ar...,Na paz do meu triste descanso) Portuguse Lyrics-

A Rainha Maria Estuardo Olhe: no prado nasce, perfumado e bonito, a família das flores, E á mim, sim, ele sorri para mim. E o zéfiro que retorna das belas praias da França, me diz que eu gosto como na minha primeira e feliz juventude. Oh nuvem! Quão leve você vagueia pelo ar, Leva meu amor, leva meus suspiros Ao terra sagrada que um dia me criou Ah! Descende cortês, leve-me ao seu seio, Leve-me para a França, longe das penas Mas a nuvem também é cruel, porque escapa ao a terra abençoada dos meus maiores.

(À distância, você pode ouvir o som de Chifres franceses)

O que é esse barulho!

caçadores (dentro) Na floresta, na caça. O cervo aparece na Colina, então foge Pelo Rio, você olham nas águas; Corra rápido machuca aquele cervo!

Rainha María Estuardo Que vozes são essas!

Ana Kennedy É o sinal da caça real!

Rainha Maria Estuardo Os sons estão chegando ... os cavalos ...

Casadores A rainha!

A Rainha Maria Estuardo Ah, que nome fatal!

Ana Kennedy A tirana vem pelo parque.

A Rainha Maria Estuardo Na paz do meu triste descanso Ele quer me bater com um novo horror. Fui eu quem a chamei á ela, mas não quero vê-la. Eu não tenho tanto valor! Que ele fique no seu trono de ouro, deixe seu olhar se afasta de mim. Eu fui desprezado demais; ninguém tem pena de mim.

ESPWNT 2020 Preview (2/5): Youth Teams

The Spanish WNT begins a new decade and a new era in 2020. They'll try to follow up their achievements from the late-2010s and build a generation of success and growth for women's football in Spain. The senior team may not have much going on this year, but the youth teams should have a packed schedule. With a Euro Championship and World Cup for both the U-17 and U-19 levels, the youth teams will have plenty of chances to prove last year’s ~underperformance was just a fluke.

U-17 UEFA Women’s Championship

The U-17 team entered the 2019 UEFA Championship having reached the finals in the previous five tournaments, so you can understand why getting knocked out in the semifinal was a disappointment. With their #1 UEFA coefficient earning them a bye through the qualifying round, Spain’s journey back to the top will begin this spring in the Elite Round:

March 19 vs. Turkey 

March 22 vs. Slovenia 

March 25 vs. Portugal 

If they can come out on top of Group 6, they’ll head to Sweden for the final tournament in May.

U-17 Women’s World Cup

A top three finish in the U-17 UEFA Championship will punch Spain’s ticket to the U-17 World Cup, taking place this November in India. Spain would enter the tournament as the defending champions, having won their first title in 2018 when they defeated Mexico 2-1 in the final.

U-19 UEFA Women’s Championship

A gut-wrenching loss against France in the 2019 UEFA Championship semi-final broke a streak of five straight finals appearances for the U-19 team (just like their U-17 counterparts 😞). Qualification for the 2020 UEFA Championship began last fall, and Spain dominated their way through to the next round, scoring 22 goals while allowing none. Here’s what Group 3 has in store for them in the Elite Round:

April 8 vs. Sweden

April 11 vs. Serbia 

April 14 vs. Switzerland 

Winning the group would see Spain head to Georgia for the final tournament in late July.

U-20 Women’s World Cup

Disappointing as it may have been, Spain’s performance in the 2019 Euro earned them a spot in the U-20 World Cup, which will be this August in Costa Rica and Panama. Spain’s superb record in the U-19 UEFA Championship hasn’t quite carried over to the World Cup in the past, but in 2018 they earned their best result yet, finishing as runners-up to Japan. Capturing their first U-20 title would be a great sendoff for the players whose last chance it is to play in a youth World Cup:

Teresa Abelleira (January 9, 2000)

Anna Torroda  (January 21, 2000)

Laia Codina (January 22, 2000)

Candela Andujar  (March 26, 2000)

Berta Pujadas (April 9, 2000)

Maria Mendez  (April 10, 2000)

Olga Carmona (June 12, 2000)

Laia Aleixandri (August 25, 2000)

Athenea del Castillo (October 24, 2000)

Rosa Marquez (December 22, 2000)

Eva Navarro (January 27, 2001)

Cata Coll (April 23, 2001)
