Whe was walking or cycling on the Mathildenhöhe away from the Heinerfest, was amazed at the high, clear singing voices that came from the grove on the eastern slope. With folk songs, spirituals and pop songs, the children’s and youth choirs of the State Theater competed with the birds at their concert in the countryside, “Osthang sounds”. So the Lorraine song “O you beautiful rose garden” was intoned behind a bush. A larger group continued it in three-part writing, conducted by Alice Zorzit with Italian temperament. It was heard that the young people were quite familiar with the subject of a great love that their parents shouldn’t know anything about.
The voices of the young musicians sounded from surprising directions, the suggestions came from the young singers themselves. Opera director Kirsten Uttendorf only contributed one or two tips, it said.
