The unique space of Diana's Temple in the Lednice-Valtice area comes alive with a concert by the Talich Quartet thanks to the Lednice-Valtice Music Festival program. The recording of this exceptional musical program was made in 2022 on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of this renowned string quartet, whose composition has changed many times, but whose name in honor of the important Czech conductor has remained. The concert for the Lednice-Valtice Music Festival will feature Jan Talich, Roman Patočka, Radim Sedmidubský, and Petr Prause. The concert utilizes and further develops the genius loci of Diana's Temple, a romantic structure paraphrasing Roman triumphal arches, also known as Rendez-vous.Shut Up and Play the Piano

Orpheus and Eurydice
IMDB 10 | Sep , 2008
The Ballet de l'Opera National de Paris mounted this production of the late Pina Bausch's dance-opera Orpheus und Eurydike, which Bausch had adapted from composer Christoph Willibald-Gluck and Ranieri de' Calzabigi's 1762 opera Orfeo ed Euridice. As the title suggests, it takes its basic narrative from the myth of Orpheus, and his courageous but ill-fated attempt to rescue his lover Eurydice (also known as Eurydike) from the jaws of the underworld. This particular production finds Yann Bridard dancing as Orpheus and Marie-Agnès Gillot dancing as Eurydike , with mezzo-soprano Maria-Riccarda Wesseling accompanying Bridard and soprano Julia Kleiter accompanying Wesseling. Pina Bausch did the choreography and stage direction, while Rolf Borzik designed the sets, costumes and lighting. The Balthasar-Neumann Ensemble & Choir, under the direction of Thomas Hengelbrock, lend musical accompaniment.Nodame Cantabile: The Movie I
