Anyone interested in Kaufmann should tune in here tonight.

It is the opening night of the 2013 Munich Festival and Bavarian Radio are broadcasting the opering performance of a new production of
Il Trovatore with Jonas Kaufmann (his first Manrico) and Anja Harteros as Leonora. Conducted by Palo Carignani.
I am glad I am only listening to it, as the photographs of the new production(on the Staatsoper website) would guarantee that I would never seek to gain a ticket to see it. Munich seems still to be at the centre of the Eurotrash opera production trend. The house used to be so great under Peter Jonas.
Ah well something hopefully good to listen to.
The Opera begins at 18:30 German time - 19:30 for the UK
