\nAs we get closer to Carnevale<\/span>, I can’t help but read this letter from Mozart to his wife (who was in Salzburg at the time) about experiencing Carnevale<\/span> in Venice….imagining what the celebration would be like back in 1771…
\nfrom Venice Feb 13,1771<\/span>
\nBad weather and an amazing gale meant that it wasn`t till the morning of Carnival Monday <\/em><\/strong> that we reached <\/em><\/strong>Venice<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, that same afternoon we managed to see H <\/em><\/strong>Wider<\/em><\/strong><\/a> who, together with his <\/em><\/strong>wife<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, accompanied us to the opera . <\/em><\/strong> We lunched with <\/em><\/strong>him<\/em><\/strong><\/a> on Shrove Tuesday, <\/em><\/strong> then went to the opera, <\/em><\/strong>which began at 2 and finished at around 7 in the evening, after which we dined with <\/em><\/strong>him<\/em><\/strong><\/a> and by 11 or 12 o`clock German time <\/em><\/strong> we were in <\/em><\/strong>St Mark`s Square<\/em><\/strong><\/a> in order to go to the <\/em><\/strong>Ridotto<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. We told each other that you`d probably be with  <\/em><\/strong>Hagenauer<\/em><\/strong><\/a> and would hardly imagine that we were talking about you in <\/em><\/strong>St Mark`s Square<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. We had the most appalling rain, but today, Ash Wednesday, we have the most beautiful weather. Praise be to God, we`re in good health. Who do you think we met in <\/em><\/strong>Brescia<\/em><\/strong><\/a>? – – We were on our way to the opera buffa <\/em><\/strong> there when we encountered Sga Angeliga [sic] <\/em><\/strong>Maggiore<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, the prima donna, who`s married to a <\/em><\/strong>tenor<\/em><\/strong><\/a> who was also performing there. She was very surprised to see us. Tell H <\/em><\/strong>Spizeder<\/em><\/strong><\/a> that if he wants to see his former impresario <\/em><\/strong>Crosa<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, he can do so in <\/em><\/strong>Milan<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, where he goes about begging, wretchedly dressed and with a long beard. This is how God punishes cheats! You`ll have heard that <\/em><\/strong>Carattoli<\/em><\/strong><\/a> and <\/em><\/strong>Laschi<\/em><\/strong><\/a> have died. I`ve received your letter with the note from H von <\/em><\/strong>Vogt<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. Farewell, I must hurry. We kiss you 100000 times and I am
