What a wonderful performance - Beethoven‘s 9th: Is there a better sign for the WHOLE world standing together? 2019 we have been to Sydney‘s amazing opera house. April 2020 appears to be in totally different space and time - Sydney totally out of reach from Europe. I wish all Aussies and the rest of the world all the best! Greetings from Germany in shutdown...
