Outstanding new composers and genre-hopping experiments are not the sole reasons the Iceland Symphony Orchestra’s UK tour is so anticipated – the country itself is a seed bed for musical talent
Just a week and a day ...
So looking forward to this concert tomorrow.
We went to a performance of the opera "FIDELIO - an experiment" tonight. To begin with, it was a real pleasure to go to the opera again. Óperudagar / Reykjavík Opera Days deserve praise for their excellent staging and approach to this Opera. Thanks to the entire crew.
And remember that Iceland is open and the same goes for the opera, the symphony and so many other cultural events.

Þarna ætluðum við að vera í kvöld með hóp af gestum í samstarfi við Vinafélag Sinfóníuhljómsveitar Íslands að hlusta á þennan flutninginn. Við vorum búinn að setja saman pakka með ferð á tónleikana, og með möguleika á að bæta við nokkrum mismunandi óperum og öðrum tónleikum, skoðurnarferðum og myndlistarsýningum. Covidið stoppaði það allt saman.
En eins og Scarlett O'Hara sagði hér um árið “After all… tomorrow is another day” og um leið og við sigrumst á þessari veiru þá verðum við tilbúin í ferðir af þessum toga á ný, en í kvöld er hægt að hlusta gegn vægu gjaldi á hágæða streymi sem má nálgast hér:
