Yesterday I have been to Stuttgart opera again watching Fidelio by Beethoven. It has been the third production of Fidelio I have seen (the other two in Frankfurt) and again it was not very good (much better than in Frankfurt, […]
Heute war ich mal wieder in einem Konzert im Dom von Halberstadt und habe ein Konzert der Sommertournee des Dresdner Kreuzchores gesehen. Das Konzert war wunderbar. Eine Mischung aus alter und moderner Klassik (etwa 50:50). Insbesondere die moderne Klassik war […]
Ich bin inzwischen sechs Reviews hintendran. Ich fasse die mal ein bisschen zusammen. Letzten Samstag war ich in der Oper in Frankfurt. Es gab Norma von Bellini. Das ist die zweite Oper von Bellini, die ich gehört habe und auch […]
Die anderen drei Veranstaltungen waren allesamt Jugendtheaterstücke. Zuletzt letzten Freitag im Jungen Theater Bonn wieder einmal „Geheime Freunde“. Das Stück habe ich jetzt schon oft gesehen, aber es fesselt mich nach wie vor. Die Inszenierung ist beeindruckend und die Darstellung […]
Eigentlich bin ich noch zwei Reviews hintendran. Mal sehen, ob ich die noch schreibe. Gerade eben aber war ich in der Stuttgarter Oper. Es gab Tod in Venedig von Benjamin Britten. Wer Benjamin Britten kennt weiß, dass das nicht so […]
Yesterday evening I have been to the Dresdner Staatsoperette again. They performed Candide by Leonard Bernstein, also within the scope of the music festival. This time I did not sit on the stage 😉 The piece is actually a piece […]
This morning I have been to a concert at the Semperoper Dresden. The festival orchestra conducted by Ivor Bolton and the violinist Thomas Zehetmair played three pieces if Brahms. The first piece were variations of a theme from Haydn. At […]
Yesterday I have been to a concert of Dresdner Kreuzchor (boys choir) in the Garden of Pillnitz Palace. Every year they will sing there and the program is lighter than when they sing in the Kreuzkirche. Typically they sing traditional […]
I have been in a Tango Operita yesterday. A chamber opera, actually more like a musical, dedicated to the tango by Astor Piazzolla. An amazing piece, a singleton that is not very often performed. It is the story of Maria […]
All suites for cello of Johann Sebastian Bach have been played in the Palais of the Large Garden in Dresden, six in total. Nearly three hours of pure cello music following a very strict order: prelude, Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Menuett/Bourree/Gavotte, […]
Yesterday I have not been to a classical concert. In addition to the music festival Dresden hosts also the Dixieland festival. Yesterday I have been on a historic paddle steamer and listened to two bands playing Dixieland while moving into […]
The concert yesterday took place in the Kulturpalast. Very different from the day before it was dedicated to two Russian composers a hundred and a hundred and fifty years later: Rachmaninow and Schostakowitsch. It was played the family trio Mischa […]
Yesterday‘s concert has been in the beautiful Martin Luther church. It was dedicated to Viennese Classic with Mozart and Haydn. At first we heard the first Divertimento for string orchestra of Mozart, then the two concerts for Cello and orchestra […]
Yesterday I have been to a concert of the LGT Young Soloists in the Palais of of the large garden in Dresden. It has been one of the best concerts I have ever seen and listened to! Not because the […]
Yesterday I have been to a concert. So far nothing new. But it has been a „pop“ concert this time! 🙂 I have seen Selah Sue the second time. Actually the music style is Soul with influences of Reggae, Funk […]
On Sunday I have been to the opera in Frankfurt again. This time it had been Rheingold. It was the third or fourth time I have seen this production. And again it has been excellent! The singers were brilliant, the […]
On Saturday I have been to the opera in Frankfurt. They played „La Sonnambula“ by Bellini. I had seen that production already two years ago and I really liked it! The last time the title role was sung by Brenda […]
Ich war vorhin in der Kammeroper Stuttgart und habe „Krieg. Stell dir vor, er wäre hier.“ gesehen. Das Stück basiert auf dem Essay von Jane Teller von 2001 und hatte letzten Freitag Uraufführung. Der Text wird vorgetragen/dargestellt von einem Schauspieler, […]
