Wagner's GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG

Hi all, 

The Corona Virus pandemic and subsequent lockdown period has affected us all, not just in Berlin, Germany, or Europe, but the entire world. 

Unfortunately the performing arts industry has been significantly impacted by the restrictions. In a city like Berlin, which is the only city in the world to support three state opera houses, for both performers and audiences alike, the lack of live opera performance has been sole destroying. 

Though the houses are tentatively opening their doors for an initial 4 month season, it is unlikely that we will be able to enjoy the grandeur of the large scale operatic works. 

Therefore I share with you here, a piano accompaniment to the final instalment of Richard Wagner's epic "Ring des Nibelungen" cycle: Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods). 

If you love the music, I hope you enjoy this performance. If you are a singer, I hope that it is of some use for you practicing along to the accompaniment. 

Please subscribe to the YouTube channel, and feel free to like and share the recordings. 

Hopefully we get back to the live performances sooner rather than later.

Berlin Biennale

8th BERLIN BIENNALE for CONTEMPORARY ART

The Berlin Biennale opened today (29 May 2014) and runs until the third of August. 

We were aware of it particularly because Café BRAVO is located at KW 69 - Institute for Contemporary Art / Crash Pad (August Strasse), which is one of the centres of the exhibition. 

Other locations are Haus am Waldsee and Museen Dahlem - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.

If you are in Berlin for any of this time, check it out - Tickets are 16€ (10€ for Students/concessions) which gets you into each exhibition - however only once per venue!

There are also special events / concerts / readings associated with the Biennale at each venue throughout the two months. 

For more information on which artists are being presented, check out the official event website: www.berlinbiennale.de

Please leave a comment if you went to it already and what you found particularly interesting.
