During summer I stumbled upon this unique pavilion temporarily occupying a tiny square behind the state opera. It is an extraordinary sight. I immediately found out what is showing and discovered a free singing performance on a Tuesday morning. All eager and excited we arrived a little early, standing outside with our takeaway Cappuccinos and acting very European.
We thought it strange when only about a dozen more people showed up. Once inside, a single piano and a very animated musician greeted us. He handed out some music sheets with the notes and Italian lyrics of Verdi’s Coro di Schiavi Ebrei. It turns out this was not a performance at all but rather a music lesson. All conducted in German off course. We smiled at each other, tried our best notes and after 30 minutes snuck out and had a good laugh over coffee and croissants.

Ha ha. Iets wat jy verewig sal onthou!!
Dis die nuwe opera pavilion van Wolf Prix COOP Himmelbalu - gebasseer op 'n muskiek score van Jimmy hendrix en morzart wat geoverlaz is en dan parametries in 'n 3d modell ingeprop is. Die uitkoms is die spikes. die holtest tussen in is veronderstel om die klank te absorbeer. Definitief treffend, maar deconstructivisim was ongelukkig nog nooit in my smaak nie... Nice fotos!
