July 3rd. Inspired by last night I decided not to take the night train back to Munich but rather stay at Hotel an der Oper after the Evviva Verdi-concert in Deutsche Oper Berlin with Daniela Dessi & Fabio Armiliato. Unfortunately Dessi did not feel well enough to sing all the program that was decided, but lucky for us she sang most of it and very wonderful indeed. After the concert there were also signing in Berlin but here the queue was very orderly, and it looked nice. I got a chance to say to Dessi & Armiliato thank you for a wonderful Aida in Parma, too.

GRANADA

During a holiday in St. Johann in Tirol (Austria), after Vipiteno and shopping, we came to Innsbruck to our way back to St. Johann. I noticed some posters with Jose Carreras face on. With my camera I took a snapshot, and thought that would be it. Later on I saw more big posters, with the name of the venue, and decided to get a program or something, so I went to Komgresshaus Innsbruck, I asked also if there were any tickets left. AND IT WAS. 1000 Austrian Schilling, that I didn't have, rushed back to my parents, and then I got a ticket, and I had to take the train to St. Johann. Wonderful seat, wonderful concert. SOMETIMES one gets LUCKY!!!
