3000 spectators celebrate the Russian opera star Anna Netrebko at the Thurn and Taxis Castle Festival in Regensburg. Outside on the street, a crowd of demonstrators hold up placards. What do you want?
A midsummer warm evening, a festive mood in the castle courtyard, visitors in elegant clothes, probably the biggest opera star of the present on the stage and quiet protest outside the gates – the performance of soprano Anna Netrebko in Regensburg is as celebrated as it is controversial.
