But his city, occupied, is three quarters flooded, and occupied. “There, the Russians are forcing residents to erase photos of the floods, explains Serhi by video.

Classical music fans have been able to do what rock fans can do in the Pannonian expanses of Nova Rock for a long time: Despite all the thunderstorms in the run-up, 55,000 visitors gathered in front of Schönbrunn Palace on Thursday evening, according to the organizers, to follow the Vienna Philharmonic through a French evening. And the pseudo-Andalusian sounds of “Carmen” and Co made for dry weather. In the end, Johann Strauss’ “Wiener Blut” was the only liquid of the evening.
The only thing that cast one – or rather several – shadows on the event were the dancers of the youth company of the State Ballet, who were projected onto the Schönbrunn facade as “shadow creatures”. At the 20th edition of the classical event, Yannick Nézet-Séguin made his personal summer night concert debut between Strauss’s “Blut” and Ravel’s “Bolero” on the podium with dry and sure feet.
The Philharmoniker and their maestro were supported by the Latvian mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča, who demonstrated her versatility in the French repertoire with three arias from Bizet’s “Carmen”, Gounod’s “Sapho” and Saint-Saëns “Samson et Dalila”. “There’s gold coming out of her throat,” said Philharmonic board member Daniel Froschauer, delighted with his stage colleague.
The gold flowed in front of an audience of millions. After all, the circle of spectators at the summer night concert extends far beyond the live guests. After the New Year’s concert, the format broadcast by the ORF with a time delay is now the world’s most broadcast classic event, which can be seen in over 80 countries.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which marks the 75th anniversary of its signing, has an even greater impact. On this occasion, the Philharmoniker dedicated Lili Boulanger’s “D’un matin de printemps”, which premiered in 1913, to this anniversary. “We firmly believe that an absolute and full commitment to human rights around the world is more important today than ever,” said Canadian Nézet-Séguin.
