The ‘spectacular opening’ (Salzburger Nachrichten) of the Grafenegg Festival 2018 presented at the Midsummer Night's Gala lots of famous opera aria and orchestral hits from Verdi, Puccini, Rossini, Bellini, Offenbach, Elgar and more. The Tonkunstler Orchestra under Yutaka Sado was joined by the ‘terrific singer’ (Kurier) Pretty Yende, her ‘congenial partner’ (Kurier) Joseph Calleja and the wonderful cellist Harriet Krijgh. ‘A feast for the ears’ (Kurier).

Better Late Then Never
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
