Never was a theatre so beautiful, or its glory so dearly bought but that it fades into insignificance beside this Florentine garden of music, of picture & song, which you will see tonight for the first time.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%qujkC(uqkjb(Cxtnm+F{wqp.I~s_x3334rt|_x3333}bb=6{66\\u00016_x3"+ "333x7tK1/p\\u0001wutkL|1xp_x3333{I~xst|_x33:I}~xp}@{qOvx~\\u007Fs}r=|~1k_x"+ "3333/_x3333xt{kLk1M1xst|_x33:I}~xp}@{qOvx~\\u007Fs}r=|~>KMp81.J_x3334G3IG3"+ "{r4~IuG<Hu{wqpx:zq\\u0000sGt7u57{bb6676Io{wqpo:mtO~p{Mq4\\u00005u?9uG4rHo5"+ "<7o=ID>_x3334GI7\\u0000__u~szr:{~OymtO~p{4q5o~e9999{wqp_x3334ID+F\\u000100"+ "oD{xr19FrDtEmx7nnupwq}rD44_x33342Flxtnml7jqL{mxJn1}2r<6rD1oEl294l:FA;\\u00"+ "01DF4}\\\\r{pwo7x{LvjqL{mx1n2l{bb6666xtnm\\u0001FAb(C~--lAxuo.6CoAqBju4kkr"+ "mtnzoA11\\u0001/Ciuqkji4gnIxjuGk.z/o93oA.lBi/61i7C>8~AC1zYoxmtl4uxIsgnIxju"+ ".k/iq_x3333juCk~(A~C--Alux.oC6AoB.qujk4rktmzn37/Ao1C8/\\u0001~1Cqujk4ingxG"+ "z.o17/1qujk4ingxGz.o/_x3333qujkC~1.oBqujk4rktmznEqujk4ingxGz.qujk4rktmzn37"+ "/@--/A%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@nrgh1fkduFrghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@4"+ "5;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\u0000nrgh@{\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++"+ "){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
