Act two of my long event weekend was another hit … the new grand show of the Friedrichstadt Palast: FALLING IN LOVE. The first half was a bit slow and the pacing was off but the second half was simply breathtaking! And the kick line choreography and costumes? … – at Berlin, Germany

… one of the best I have ever seen at the Friedrichstadt Palast - which is world famous for it. The triple bungee trapeze in the second half was beautifully choreographed as well. Special mentioning to Callum Webdale’s performance as “You” - his dance moves are outstanding!

Nobuo Uematsu worked with Game Concerts for the world premiere of his new orchestral work MERREGNON: HEART OF ICE earlier tonight at the @BASF Feierabendhaus in Ludwigshafen. Performed by the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz it was a wonderful evening!

The concert combined the world premiere with orchestral arrangements of earlier works (including material from Final Fantasy) in the first half. #Merregnon Heart of Ice comes with a narrator telling a story created specifically in combination with #Uematsu’s music.

The story is meant to capture the attention also of young audiences who don’t know his video game music and are not usually going to symphonic concerts (but is fun for adults as well). The new piece was an instant hit. Look for it in more international concert halls hopefully!

Just back from enjoying a condensed version of Richard Wagner’s Ring des Nibelungen: 4 operas of 15 hours in 3 hours as “Der Ring an 1 Abend” with explanatory text in German by Loriot. If you have a free evening in Stuttgart on 1/30 or Munich on 1/31 get a ticket! 1/2

2/2 “Ring an 1 Abend” has all the best music of the operas performed by the @Staatskapelle Weimar under Heiko Mathias Förster and 11 great soloists - among which @arisargiris stands out for his vocal performance and bringing Wotan alive despite it being a symphonic performance.

Final day to relax and reflect in calm on the past year before the New Year’s festivities will get underway … lots to think about this year … about successes but also issues to improve upon and especially some revelations as the masks of some around me have fallen …

Once #GamePass allowed paying viewers to watch #NFL games … then they sold the rights to #DAZN and it turned into a game perfect for betting - will the stream halt in a minute or will I make it to 2 minutes this time? THIS IS RIDICULOUS @DAZN @NFLonDAZN ! – at Frankfurt on the Main, Germany

What are @dazn & @DAZN_DE doing to the #GamePass @NFLDeutschland & @nfl? Are they streaming via a dial-up connection? This is the worst streaming experience in the last years! – at Frankfurt on the Main, Germany

Looking for a quick excursion from Frankfurt? What about a picturesque old town with half-timbered houses? Idstein at your service … just don’t forget to visit the church which is home to stunning artwork despite a bland exterior. I made that mistake in the past #idstein #hessen – at Idstein, Deutschland

Luzia by @Cirque du Soleil arrived in Frankfurt: pure magic sums it up perfectly. It features stunning visual spectacles (costumes, water effects, puppetry) & unbelievable artistic acts on the floor & a gigantic treadmill and in the air. Special nod to contortionist A Goloborodko
