Benefit Concert for Pakistan, Salzburger Festspiele 2010, Haus für Mozart, Salzburg 26. Aug 2010

The Salzburger Festspiele has held tonight a benefit event to raise money for the victims of the Pakistan flood catastrophe.

Reports
Herbert attended live this event and he kindly wrote the following report for the blog:
The concert began at 9 p.m. and Anna and Erwin arrived by taxi at 8:35. She wore an elegant short dress, while he wasn‘t dressed up yet.
The „Haus für Mozart“ was sold out, and there was pleasant anticipation and curiosity in the air, because in spite of the programme flyer nobody knew exactly what would happen.
It is hard to find words to describe this event – almost two hours (non-stop) seemed like a string of pearls. And almost impossible to say who was best. Mikhail Petrenko, Christopher Maltman (his interpretation of „Danny Boy“ and „Erlkönig“ caused goose skin), Anna Prohaska, Joel Prieto (fantastic, his „Una furtiva lagrima“), Piotr Beczala („Ah! Lève-toi, soleil!“ – wonderful!!) – all of them were cheered and applauded for their superb performances.
So let me stick to Anna Netrebko and Erwin Schrott.
Anna’s „Il bacio“ was the second programme item, but it was already a highlight because of her vitality on stage (by the way, she wore the long pink dress as in the Vienna gala).
Everybody was looking forward to Anna’s and Erwin‘s duet from „L’elisir d’amore“. Erwin wore a black suit, a tie and even glasses (as „Dr. Dulcamara“). They sang and acted their roles with a lot of fun. When Erwin had to show his famous „elisir“, he fetched a large, about 1 meter long bottle of champaign from behind the scene. The audience loved this duet and thanked them with BRAVI.
Next, Anna and Piotr Beczala sang „O soave fanciulla“ – two outstanding voices in perfect harmony.
The very last programme item was simply announced as „Tangos – Erwin Schrott & Tango group“. I am sure almost nobody knew exctly what this would be like (two years ago Erwin sang some tangos during a concert in Munich, but his latest CD with tangos hasn’t been published yet). He appeared on stage in shirt and jeans – and it was to become the most fascinating, the most passionate and the most unexpected part of the whole programme. Erwin did not only sing two tangos by Astor Piazzolla, he „lived“ them! First he used a microphone, but more and more often he held it away from his mouth because his voluminous voice would have destroyed the mike.
The audience was completely overwhelmed by this extraordinary performance. He really brought the house down, but there were no encores after the two tangos, because he obviously didn’t want to outshine his colleagues – which is respectable, of course, but we can only hope that he is going to tour with a tango programme as soon as possible.
Standing ovations for all the artists who had celebrated an unforgettable evening!
And then a large crowd of journalists, photographers, TV teams and ordinary fans were waiting at the stage door for the artists. After answering some questions by the media, Anna and Erwin joined a group of people who went to a party in a small restaurant behind the „Haus für Mozart“.
This Benefit Concert has been a memorable event, not only because of the circumstances, but also because of its unique, colourful mixture of singers and actors. Let's hope that ORF has recorded it...
