After a longer than expected absence for two leg surgeries, Christian Thielemann is back rehearsing at the Vienna State Opera.
The work is a lifelong favourite – Hans Pfitzner’s Palestrina, about a composer who showed the Pope what God really wants.

The post Thielemann returns with his favourite opera appeared first on Slippedisc.
