News from Athens for all those wainting to know ;-) Last night's concert was a success!!!!
It went very well and starting with Werther in the first part it became just perfect. E lucevan, La fleur were almost taken from stage performances in their intensity. The Gralserzahlung (In fernem Land) gave an exciting preview of this summer's Lohengrin and the Megaron followed its every word in silent rapture. His piani were simply exquitiste last night, tender and enveloping, intense and excillarating!!! The applause only got bigger and better with each aria. The audience went wild, shouting Bravo, stamping their feet and clapping and Jonas gave even more: 4 encores!! Il lamento, Non ti scordar, La donne e mobile (!!!!!!!!!!) and Dein ist mein ganzes Herz.
After some more bowing and many red palms an exhausted but extatic public and an equally exhausted but hopefully also happy Jonas said thank you to each other in a quick signing session.
Some preview pictures and more from Parsifal :-)
!!!!!!!!--> not for the aria, but for its special interpretation and because i have to give Jonas the biggest Thank you ever for giving me this opportunity to catch up on a tiny bit of his Duca, which i never got to see live on stage.
More when i am back :-) Sufice to say it was better, bolder, and more of everything than i could have ever imagines or expected myself. And I am not that easy to please as it might seem ;-)))
I wish, i woulc have been there.
