There is talk of a “Tschuppele” of chickens who perform their breathtaking tricks, of “spoiled” manes and of birds and monkeys that sit “tame” on the branches.
The narrator, who will be used on Saturday, is a well-known TV man: Kurt Aeschbacher. He presents the “Carnival of the Animals” of the Musikkollegium in the town hall in Bernese German, “unfortunately in front of an empty hall”, as he says at the beginning. The reason for this: the “Chrottetierli called Corona”. These “great eleven musicians” would have loved to play in front of a full hall where you could see and feel each other. “Fortunately, there is the technology,” says Aeschbacher into a camera on stage. This allows at least a “very special musical carnival to be celebrated at a distance”.
