Greetings to all of you, opera lovers!

Some of us have still not had the chance to visit the Bern opera house and here is a great opportunity!

Fidelio, the only opera composed by the genius Beethoven, now under the baton of Mario Venzago in Bern.

Is there anyone interested to visit this performance?
In general I am flexible but the weather is still fantastic in September and I also try to save the weekends, hence 25 Oct seems like a reasonable date.
In my experience, Thursday is a great day for classical music!

We can meet 1 hour before the event and have aperitivo and/or also have drinks afterwards.

I may be interested in this, I need to see how my diary evolves tho.

something else of interest is that Platee is playing at versailles next year. Since Rameau composed it for the marriage ceremony of Louis and Marie Therese and was performed for the first time at Versailles, this is a particularly historic performance. Paul Agnew is a very good singer too in the principle role

I would love to see a performance in Bern! Please keep me posted. =)

It's good there is already some interest, I will schedule an event and hopefully more people would join!
Versailles is much more difficult to reach from where I live than the Stadttheater and I would rather spend the efforts on La Scala

I was traveling a lot recently and also moving into a new apartment, hence I could not commit to organizing anything as a 'calendar event'.
However, I got the ticket for Thursday, 25 Oct and would be happy if anyone could join me.
Lots of Beethoven in Bern these days!!
