we were sent back to the block to learn notes. the repertoire by hot there were come sit on sunday. we sat somewhere in the camp. i can't remember how many places we played and it was for the amusement of the gods. but the prisoners could also hear us. and the reactions were very different. for some, it was an insult. but i've also read about people who said that it helped them to dream they were somewhere other than this. hell for a few minutes. ah, she survived not only the hell of oceans but also all winter bergen belsen were many die because the terrible conditions she was still there when the campus liberated by british troops in april 1945. ah. you know to me my life has 2

the artistic director of the commercial oper, berlin barry kosky decided to revive it. so that we had to play sherlock holmes, a little hyster because he orchestral score had disappeared armed. but we reconstructed it the younger man. oh yes, now that reconstructed version of spring storms, premier didn't berlin in january 2025 sion car, her jewish check composer yara mir vine burger, became world famous in the 1920s. thanks to his opera, shondae, the bagpiper. it was the most played opera on the german language stages in the 2nd half of the 1920s. it was also celebrated in london and new york. but the composer languished in obscurity, after escaping nazi germany for the u. s. will vineberg as an interesting man to man for a few years. he was one of the most famous composers in the world that but he had

to leave after 933 when they need a terrible fate. like many others, he was in america didn't write much in losses, enthusiasm at that. then he got brain cancer and committed suicide. in other circumstances. spring storms may well have become a world wide triumph aah leaks. he's a butso with the works of jewish artists were labeled, degenerates and bond by the nazis. ah, these are, but i just need to be diesel. coretta is not like others, and it's sort of a spy drama won't just but the fact it premiered in 1933 and the shadow of the war and the sure i'd see she gives it a particular quality dish to come. bizarre. the quality spring storm seems harmless enough. but for koski, the oppressive atmosphere at the time is palpable. this work which only had

a short run before the nazis seized power. the strict get its about the love of a russian aristocrat, lydia pub, laska, for a japanese major e to my or ito ah glove. and i think that in 1033, i just had to turn the russian woman into a german and the japanese man into a jew. and it was clear what was meant, yoda, this is clovis district eigen dickies livable stitching their po, any behead. bah, demps, i don't know it's white as i work as a boat identity who is who very nobody trusts and nobody how not even the main characters in these. i think that was in the air in 1933. she blabbered thus far in the loft behind driggers, new church, and music is shot through with melancholy tones. set designer close greenberg
