I just woke up to this view out of my window on this gorgeous morning in Berlin. This is the dome of Berlin Cathedral on the bank of the River Spree. I am in the Radisson Blu on the opposite bank - the river is barely 50 yards wide at this point.
We have auditions today from 10 to 7 at the Staatsoper, Unter den Linden in this beautiful part of the former East Berlin. And this evening I will be at a concert by the Konzerthaus Orchestra (formerly the Berlin Symphony) at their beautiful home base. Its a great program conducted by Lothar Zagrosek - an old friend from Glyndebourne and Canadian Opera Company days. It will be great to see him.
But between now and then 60 singers will have been tested. And so will I!
