REPORT
Herbert attended the show in Wien and he wrote the following notes: The last IOLANTA this year was in Vienna yesterday, in the Konzerthaus - a wonderful concert hall! Sold out again, and I saw, for example, Piotr Beczala in the audience. This production is really excellent, and I like this opera more and more. It is always an unexpected moment and a surprise, when Anna/Iolanta suddenly appears among the audience, walking slowly and gracefully from the back rows along the central corridor forward to the stage - a real princess in her pink gown. After the show there was a reception for the artists, so they didn't turn up at the stage exit.
