On Saturday I have been to the chamber opera in Vienna playing „A quiet place“ by Leonard Bernstein. An interesting piece where you get to know a family story right after the funeral of the mother. The opera starts with […]
Heute Abend war ich im Konzert im Berio Saal des Konzerthauses – der Saal, der von der Firma gesponsert wurde, für die ich zur Zeit noch arbeite. Es gab moderne Musik, Phace – Regen. Fünf verschiedene Stücke, die teilweise über […]
Gestern war ich mal wieder im Jungen Theater Bonn. Es gab „Löcher, das Geheimnis von Green Lake“. Ich kannte die Geschichte nicht, ließ mich also überraschen. Und wie meistens im Jungen Theater war es wieder eine tolle Überraschung! Es geht […]
Yesterday I have been to the opera in Frankfurt: La Cenerentola of Giacchino Rossini. Not a very complicated piece but something funny and lyrical in part with easy going music. The production was great. They had a replica of the […]
I have been to a concert today. As it is still difficult to get tickets for the Elbphilharmonie I had to listen to the Elbphilharmonie Orchestra in Vienna 😉 They played the piano concert in c minor of Mozart and […]
I have been to a concert today in the Vienna Konzerthaus. Martha Argerich and Lilya Zilberstein played a piano duet. First part was Robert Schumann. I was never a big fan of Schumann and also today I consider this the […]

I forgot to mention that on Saturday I have been in theatre. I watched the Christmas story – the actual Christmas story compiled from the 4 Gospels. It is an off theatre in Frankfurt that plays in an old factory […]
