Virus hits Hamburg’s new hall
mainAmid the opening jubilations, the Elbphilharmonie suffered two last-minute cancellations.
The Swedish soprano Camilla Tilling phoned in sick for Beethoven’s Ninth, and the composer Wolfgang Rihm who wrote a consecration piece was unable to hear it due to illness.
Hanna-Elisabeth Müller flew in from Mannheim just in time to fill out the Beethoven quartet.
The hall had previously lost Jonas Kaufmann and Anja Harteros for opening night.
good to know ! those are the real news we need in the world .. omg ..
Good to know that you have time and energy to read and write about what you’re not interested in… omg.
It may have been strategic colds on seeing pictures of the building.
Well, if they will insist on opening it in January…
Hanna-Elisabeth Müller = preferable to Camilla Tilling, no harsh edge!
Glad you carrier pigeon finally arrived with this news from 5 days ago.
They had some difficulty getting out of the holes in the façade of the building.
