Jan Ladislav Dussek's La Mort de Marie Antoinette Performed by Eveliina Kytömäki
Marie-Antoinette is yet another example of how it is possible to die with dignity despite excruciatingly painful and humiliating circumstances- although not, in her case, caused by illness as much as by the cruelty of her fellow man. The principle is nonetheless the same.
Courteous comments are welcome. If a comment is not published, it may be due to a technical error. At any rate, do not take offense; it is nothing personal. Slanderous comments will not be published. Anonymity may be tolerated, but politeness is required.
I would like to respond to every comment but my schedule renders it impossible to do so. Please know that I appreciate those who take the time to share their thoughts.
