In the concert program, Lisa Batiashvili, born in 1979, played viola concerto from Tchaikovsky, followed by Debussy's two orchestral pieces. The beautiful soloist Lisa Batiashvili came out with a light green long dress, she started with low tempo and from time to time kept on harsh interpretation, the conductor and his orchestra followed her. When her concert was over, she played with concertmaster a bis violin duet.
During half an hour intermission, there were food and beverage sales in the back kiosks, the audience consumed plenty of local draft beer and cold white wine.
In the second half Debussy works were performed. In this part, the orchestra has been unified. Finally, the Carmen opera was played as three separate pieces of bis.
At the end of the concert, conductor Daniel Barennoim thanked the audience. Next year, it is going to be the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the 20th anniversary of the Divan orchestra foundation, and 10th anniversary on the Waldbühne stage, all invited to the July 2019 concert.
The space for 22,000 people was full. It was recommended to have Blankets, polar, hat and cushion to stay two hours in summer bleese in the concert. All small children fall asleep. They were carried by parents earlier.
In the second half of August the nights are getting cooler in Berlin.
It is very nice to listen to classical music in the open air atmosphere in the sweet coolness of summer nights.
Especially listening to the concert of an orchestra conductor like Daniel Barenboim is a great pleasure, a great privilege. Concert recording will be released in YouTube.
There are youtube records from earlier years. There is Italian world famous tenor Andrea Bochelli concert in the same place next week.
The concerts continue until the end of September 2018. 2019 concerts start in June.
