A few days ago, I went to my first concert
since the beginning of corona lockdown. Provided distancing regulations can be
met, Frankfurt now permits events with up to 100 people attending. In its hall
of 1370 seats, the Frankfurt opera company organises such concerts, for which
it is now allowed to sell 100 tickets.
Finally, the opportunity to go to a live concert
again – It was a moving evening. The restrictions probably made it even more
moving.
Frankfurt’s wonderful opera studio, members
of the younger generation of soloists who get to start their professional lives
at the Frankfurt Opera, accompanied by a pianist delivered an unforgettable
evening. The final piece, an aria from Il Seraglio was even accompanied
by an ensemble of a cellist, violinist, flautist, oboist, and pianist. Their sound
was so rich that for a moment one forgot that there were only five of them and not a
small orchestra. I am not normally a fan of a potpourri of arias – but this was
just wonderful.
Having three free seats to the left and to
the right and no one directly in front, is something I could get used to...
