At an exclusive anteprima-performance, Daniel Barenboim conducted for the first time Rossini’s »Il Barbiere di Siviglia« – 600 young opera lovers and our members were thrilled!
Following Daniel Barenboim's wish, the Friends and Sponsors made possible this special performance for the young audience, for which a generous contingent of tickets at the price of €7 could be offered to young opera fans under 35. Thus, they all could see Ruth Berghaus’ fascinating staging of 1968, the wonderful music and the fantastic young singers. The atmosphere in the audience was unparalleled. During the ardent final applause, Achim Freyer, who designed the terrific stage design in 1968, was brought on stage as an honoured guest by Daniel Barenboim.
After the performance, Daniel Barenboim, Jürgen Flimm and the artists came to a meet & greet at the foyer, where they welcomed the many young guests. Mrs. Ludes of the Friends and Sponsor's board also showed her joy over the successful performance. At the reception, we celebrated together the special event with whine and lemonade. We thank the Baikal Getränke GmbH for the "Wostok"-lemonades.
