Star soloist loses violin on German train
NewsThe Berliner Zeitung reports that a 17th century violin ‘worth more than 100,000 euros’ was stolen on a Berlin-to-Stuttgart ICE train together with two bows.
The incident happened on Friday. ‘When the 59-year-old got off at Stuttgart Central Station, she forgot her violin case and its contents on the train. The woman only noticed the loss when the ICE was already on its way back to Berlin. The police assume that an unknown perpetrator stole the violin case during this trip.’
No further details are known. Some commentators have noted that the woman’s age is that of Anne-Sophie Mutter. There has been no confirmation of this speculation.
