Yesterday I have been to a scenic performance of St. Matthew Passion in St. Peters Church in Leipzig. It was an amazing experience. Not long ago I have seen a scenic version of St. John‘s Passion in Frankfurt. It captivated […]
I have not yet written about my Elton John day on Saturday. I got tickets for his farewell tour in Wiesbaden. But first we went to see the film Rocketman. The film is very different from the Queen film Bohemian […]
On Tuesday I have been to a concert in Stuttgart at the Liederhalle. The Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra played together with a young pianist Maximilian Schairer. First they played an Ouverture of Schubert, which was nice. Then they played the 3rd […]
Yesterday I have been to another concert in the Kulturpalast Dresden. This time it was the WDR Symphony Orchestra playing. The first half of the concert was very modern and visionary (this year’s motto of the festival). The first short […]
Yesterday I have been to a concert at Kulturpalast Dresden. I am afraid this will be a lengthy review because the outcome of the concert was unexpected to me. In that way it fitted to my whole day yesterday. I […]
On Friday I have been to a concert at the Palace of Bruchsal – you may have seen the pictures of it – with Elin Kolev and Triantafyllos Liotis playing the Kreutzer Sonata of Beethoven and the Sonata for violin […]
Tonight I have seen a very special concert here in the Kulturpalast Dresden: Star Wars „A new hope“ (episode 4 that is) with the film score played live by the Dresdner Philharmonie. Last year I have seen Harry Potter in […]
As some may have realized, today I have been to Switzerland to listen to a concert. The concert was called „Next Generation“ and was part of the VP Bank Classic Festival in Bad Ragaz, south of Liechtenstein. It is a […]
Yesterday I have been to a concert at the Robert-Schumann-Saal in Düsseldorf. I heard the amazing brothers Lucas and Arthur Jussen playing fourhanded the piano. They are 21 and 25 and certainly exceptional piano players on their own but when […]
I have not yet reported about my last opera „I puritani“ of Bellini at Frankfurt opera house about two weeks ago. When I was already halfway to the opera I realized that I had forgotten my ticket. So I went […]
Yesterday I have been to the opera in Frankfurt. They showed „Hänsel and Gretel“. I had seen this production before but could not remember it fully and it is always nice to see something again, right? The performance started early […]
I have just been to a concert of the LGT Young Soloists at the Robert Schumann Saal in Düsseldorf. Today they also invited Esther Yoo as star guest. It has been the second best concert I have experienced this year. […]
I have just been to a concert in the Kulturpalast Dresden. I really love this concert hall. The Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra played together with the Kreuzchor and some excellent solists one of Haydn‘s messes and three pieces of Brahms. It […]
On Sunday I have been to the Palace Theatre in London to watch part one and two of Harry Potter and the cursed child. It was my second time to see this piece, in the meantime I already read the […]
On Saturday I have been to a musical at the open air theatre in Regent‘s Park in London: Little Shop of Horrors. As preparation I watched the old B-movie from 1960 on which the musical is based – not the […]
Yesterday I have been to the Duke of York‘s Theater in London to watch Sir Ian McKellen as King Lear in King Lear. It was a good thing I read the piece beforehand as the English is hard to understand […]
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, […]
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 […]
