#OTD in 1913.

Claudio Monteverdi's last opera L'incoronazione di Poppea was performed theatrically for the first time in more than 250 years.

Two versions of the musical score of L'incoronazione exist, both from the 1650s. The first was rediscovered in Venice in 1888, the second in Naples in 1930. The Naples score is linked to the revival of the opera in that city in 1651.

Ça fait donc 28 ans que je surfe sur le #Web avec un #navigateur fabriqué par @jon et ses équipes❗️

J'avais découvert #Opera 2.12 sur ce CD-ROM de magazine (Netsurf de mai 1997) 👇 et on m'a gentiment offert l'accès à une version alpha non publique de #Vivaldi 1.0... un peu plus tard (fin 2014) 😉

#ExFanDOpera #NavigateurWeb #ÇaNousRajeunitPas #Fidélité🎂
#Merci 🙏

Scan d'un vieux CD-ROM fourni avec le magazine Netsurf en mai 1997, sur lequel figurait la version 2.12 du navigateur Opera.

Woman with dark hair in corkscrew curls, wearing a white dress decorated with black lace, stands on a small stage with brocade curtains and a white backdrop showing an enlarged ink drawing of a sailing ship, rowing boats and a city harbor. Her eyes are closed, her arms are bent and she is holding her hands in a meditative position, as if she is trying to calm herself. To the left of the stage is a man dressed in white, standing in the shadows facing left. In the foreground, out of focus, a man in a top hat from behind, holding a score. Soprano Megan Marie Hart as Elvire, Ricardo Garcia as Alphonse and Stephan Hübner as the composer Daniel Auber in Paul Georg Dittrich's production of Daniel Auber's grand opéra La Muette de Portici at Staatstheater Darmstadt, 2025.

Silhouette of a woman twirling around in the middle of a stage with her arms raised, large painted flowers to her left and right. The stage set in the background is white with black line drawings: a gallery with high arcades. The opera chorus stands on the gallery between the arcades, dressed in black and holding small white flags, gazing happily at the woman.
