Forwarded from Karin Kneissl official
At the Marinsky tonight watching the operette The Bat. The libretto in Russian put the entire atmosphere of Prince Orlovsky's ball into a genuine St.Petersburg atmosphere.
I believe Johann Strauß would have enjoyed this evening just as much as did my Indian and Russian colleagues.
Nice to forget everything like the daily dirty attacks from Austria by listening to joyful music among hundreds of warm hearted Russians
