Left: Gaetano Donizetti, Right: Marshal Moncey

On May 5, [Gaetano] Donizetti was present at the ceremony memorializing Napoleon on the twentieth anniversary of his death. Writing to Antonio Vasselli on May 6, he said: “Yesterday (May 5) I went to the funeral service for the death of Napoleon. It was touching to see all those who served: some of them even had the uniforms of that period, moth-eaten, threadbare, frazzled; many had had them made new. They kissed the lid, the imperial crown; they wept, and Moncey, the oldest marshal, who is almost a hundred years old, was in dress uniform.”

Context: The year was 1841. Marshal Moncey passed away a year later in 1842.

Please don't mind the horrible video but as I was acting like the "rules don't apply to me", I was sneaking a video of the opera singers. Had to get some of it on video......such beautiful voices. 10.20.23

Bro, we live in a Sicilian village in the 1860s. Bro, your fiancée married me when you didn't come back from the war and she's cheating on me with you and I must restore my honour by challenging you to a duel. Bro, now we're hugging to seal the deal. Bro, you're biting my ear to let me know you will be there. Bro, I've stabbed you... Bro, you're dead... Bro...
