Oliver: The Polytechnique ball thinks big! Napoléon V: I suggested the Garnier Opera to the school president. You've got to have a bit of fun!

Oliver: How did your honeymoon go? Napoléon V: Very well, thank you. It was strange to be cut off from the world, away from all the hustle and bustle of Paris.

Oliver: Good! You needed a rest. By the way, I thought it would please Hortense to have an estate in Francesim, so that we could visit you from time to time. Napoléon V: That's a good idea, I like knowing that my twin sister won't be too far away from us.

Oliver: Of course, don't worry, I'll look after her… That is, if you agree, officially Napoléon V: Officially, so that's it?

Oliver: Yes, I've been ready for several months now. I'm sorry again for all the trouble I've caused you, it wasn't… Napoléon V: Let's not talk about it any more. It's all settled. I know that Hortense will be happy with you, surely … more than with me.

Oliver: You were born to take different paths. At this time in your lives, the distance is natural. However, I believe I can echo Hortense's sentiments that she loves you dearly, no matter what and despite everything that has happened. Napoléon V: Thank you, Oliver. I'm counting on you to look after her.

⚜ Le Cabinet Noir | Paris, 17 Messidor An 230

Beginning ▬ Previous ▬ Next

Napoléon V and his entourage went to the Grand Bal de l'X, organised by the École Polytechnique to celebrate the end of their year of study. The ball took place at the Opéra Garnier, and featured a number of performances including dances, fencing, a choir and many other distinguished ceremonies. It's a not-to-be-missed event for young students. During the evening, Oliver approached his friend Napoléon V to officially ask for his sister Hortense's hand in marriage. The Emperor agreed to make the engagement official.

⚜ Traduction française

Napoléon V et ses proches se rendent au grand bal de l'X, organisé par l'école Polytechnique pour fêter la fin d'année d'étude. Le bal se déroule à l'opéra Garnier, et donne lieu à de nombreux spectacles comme des danses, des combats d'escrimes, une chorale, et bien d'autres cérémonies distinguées. C'est le rendez-vous immanquable des jeunes étudiants. Durant la soirée, Oliver approche son ami Napoléon V pour lui demander officiellement la main d'Hortense, sa soeur. L'Empereur accepte d'officialiser les fiançailles.

Oliver : Le bal de Polytechnique voit les choses en grand ! Napoléon V : J’ai proposé l’opéra Garnier au président de l’école. Il faut bien s’amuser un peu !

Oliver : Et ta lune de miel alors, ça s’est bien passé ? Napoléon V : Très bien, merci. C’était étrange d’être coupés du monde, loin de toute l’agitation parisienne.

Oliver : Tant mieux! Tu avais besoin de repos. À propos, j’ai pensé que cela ferait plaisir à Hortense d’avoir un domaine en Francesim, pour que l’on puisse vous rendre visite de temps en temps. Napoléon V : C’est une bonne idée, j’aime savoir que ma jumelle ne sera pas trop éloignée de nous.

Oliver : Bien sûr, ne t’en fais pas, je prendrai soin d’elle… Enfin, si tu y consens, officiellement Napoléon V : Officiellement, alors ça y est ?

Oliver : Oui, cela fait plusieurs mois que je suis prêt. Encore désolé pour tous les ennuis que j’ai pu t’attirer, ce n’était pas… Napoléon V : N’en parlons plus. C’est réglé. Je sais que Hortense sera heureuse avec toi, sûrement … plus qu’avec moi

Oliver : Vous êtes nés pour prendre des chemins différents. À ce moment de votre vie, la distance est naturelle, mais je crois pouvoir me faire l'écho des sentiments d'Hortense qui t'aime tendrement, quoi qu'il arrive et en dépit de tout ce qui s'est passé. Napoléon V : Merci Oliver. Je compte sur toi, pour veiller sur elle.

Lily Pons’ light soprano dances intricate vocal feats

THE SONGBIRD: Lily Pons (1898 - 1976) was born Alice Josephine Pons near Cannes, and after piano and voice lessons, made her debut in 1928 as Lakmé in Mulhouse, France. She made her debut at The Met as Lucia in 1931 and soon became a cultural sensation, appearing frequently on the radio, on television, in lifestyle and fashion magazines, on concert and recital tours, in three Hollywood musical films, and making dozens of commercial recordings. Pons was a principal soprano at the Met for 30 years, appearing 300 times in ten roles, most frequently as Lucia (93 performances), Lakmé (50 performances), and Gilda (49 performances).

THE MUSIC: "Sylvia" is a full-length ballet with music composed by Leo Delibes in 1876. A well-known pizzicati section in the third act is traditionally played in a halting, hesitant style and was so catchy that it was transcribed into a vocal showpiece for soprano. This arrangement is by Frank La Forge (1879 - 1953) who coached a number of singers including Marian Anderson, Lawrence Tibbett, Marie Powers, and Richard Crooks, and accompanied many vocal stars including Johanna Gadski, Ernestine Schumann-Heink, and Margaret Matzenauer. He was a longstanding collaborator with Lily Pons, with many credits arranging coloratura concert and encore pieces.

regarding my latest poll from my art blog.

We are currently at a tie, but I do not mind, because, do not get me wrong: both Mermay!Jottie and POTO!Jottie is getting done, I just need help choosing which one to start with!

(though, tbfh, I am almost tempted to draw a POTO!AU in the same way I did the Anastasia one. Yes? No?Maybe? I personally think it would turn out majestic, for all those gowns -PLUS. DRAWING ERIK!JACOB which, for me is like YES. YES.)

Like, I so want to write also about this AU.

I need.

So very much so.

Being at the Opéra Garnier yesterday was such a huge boost of creativity, I will probably be obsessing over this for the next few days, so bear with me.

I am just so incredibly happy, because for me was a dream come true.

Allow me to share just one photo that my husband took (and no, I am nowhere in this photo because I HATE being photographed. I want to see the places I have been, not my ugly face lol)

Like. I am not exaggerating when I say that I actually started to cry from the emotions and the joy of looking at those stairs.

so please, do not mind me obsessing over this in the next few days 😅

#Nemo babbles #Nemo is still very much in France #nemo cannot write a coherent post without getting sidetracked lol #Personal #Opéra Garnier
