I feel like we should give Kapellmeister Bonno in Amadeus more appreciation.

Seriously... this man seems like a walking meme sometimes, I LOVE his expressions and his confused look in every scene he is in.

Who is this DIVA?💅🏻✨

Just a Kapellmeister Bonno appreciation video

Because this diva NEEDS IT✨💅🏻

My italian sense of humour has taken over me, hence the random italian and latin words.

Beppe, gridalo al mondo che, nelle sparute scene dove sei comparso, TI SEI ERSO A MOOD VIVENTE, GRIDALO BEPPEEEEE

Sorry for the delirium 💀

1688 - Johann Friedrich Fasch, one of the most important German composers of his time, was born in Buttelstädt near Weimar. 

1738 - Handel's dramma per musica, Serse, with an anonymous revision of Stampiglia's 1694 ll Xerse for Bononcini, based on Nicolò Minato's 1654 libretto of the same name, was premiered at the King's Theatre, Haymarket. The music was also inspired by Bononcini's opera, including the famous "Ombra mai fù." The castrato Caffarelli starred as the Persian king, the alto Maria Antonia Marchesini ("La Lucchesina") as his brother Arsamene, the sopranos Elisabeth Duparc and Margherita Chimenti sang the sisters Romilda and Atalanta, while the bass Antonio Montagnana created the role of Ariodate. The opera was not a success, despite its popularity nowadays, and received only five performances in that season before it was replaced, and was not revived until 1924.

1788 - The Austrian composer of Italian origin, Giuseppe Bonno, died in Vienna at the age of 77. In 1726 he was sent to Naples by Charles VI, where he spent ten years studying with Francesco Durante and Leonardo Leo. In 1774 he was appointed Kapellmeister of the imperial court after the death of Florian Leopold Gassmann, and was succeeded by Antonio Salieri.
