Berlin
Fri, 6 Nov 09
Duration:
45 minsPetroc Trelawny presents a special edition from the studios of Deutschlandradio Kultur to mark the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. With the help of some of the key players in the city's musical life over the past two decades, Petroc goes back to the immediate aftermath of the events of November 1989, when a city that had been divided for so long suddenly found itself with a least two of everything - including three opera houses and a surfeit of professional orchestras. The story since has been one of sometimes bitter rivalry - especially between the two main opera houses, the Deutsche Oper in the West and the Staatsoper in the East - and an ongoing search for a way of rationalising musical life in a city that is in a state of financial crisis.
