Baden-Baden imports Tosca from Russia
NewsThis makes no sense at all in Covid year.
Artistic Director Benedikt Stampa has announced: ‘I met Valery Gergiev in Munich last week. All the artists in St. Petersburg are very much looking forward to Baden-Baden and are doing everything in their power to be back on stage with Puccini’s Tosca’. The performance on July 25 will be streamed for a larger audience in the Baden-Baden spa garden.
Baden Baden has one of the largest populations of billionaires in the world and it’s perhaps the Festspuelhaus’ donors who dictate its repertoire.
Gergiev appears at Baden-Baden every year and it’s a large concert hall, converted from a railway station – the old ticket office is now the box office! If it is being done on a local tv feed the audience socially distanced will probably be safe and I imagine that the Russians have all been vaccinated with Sputnik 5.
Baden Baden is the city in Germany were I was « produced ».
I like to reconnect with Baden-Baden
We’re m’y fetal life started. I live now in NYC Because of its strong culture.
