Once the presentations have been made, I’m going to invite you to look at the extremely uncomfortable posture of Her Highness Semiramide, protagonist of the tragedy of maestro Rossini. Although the feeling of abandonment and languor is enviable, the damn step of Nino's tombstone is going to cause our queen a tremendously uncomfortable death.
