  • Featured Picture occupies the whole width, the reason is that pictures have three formats, Portrait, Landscape, and Panorama. Along with the image, the text and attribution need to all be clearly displayed 50% or 33% result in too many compromises. 66% is possible to enable a Featured list, Sound links though it still impacts on panorama images.

Dimitri

Dimitri is an 1876 French-language grand opera in five acts by Victorin de Joncières. Set to a libretto by Henri de Bornier and Paul Armand Silvestre after Friedrich Schiller's incomplete play Demetrius, itself a story based on the life of the Russian pretender False Dmitry I (reigned 1605–1606), the opera was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre National Lyrique. Antonín Dvořák's 1881 opera Dimitrij was also based on Schiller's play. This picture shows the set design for Act V of Dimitri's première.
