In German, we say "toi, toi, toi" to wish each other good look. In Italian, artists say "In bocca al lupo", which means "Into the mouth of the wolf". The other one answers "Crepi!", "May it die". 😄 What do you say in your country to wish good luck before a performance?
Wohoo! We just received the

We mourn the death of Christa Ludwig. 🖤 In Munich she sang Leonore during the reopening week of the National Theatre in 1963. She took her leave from the stage of the BSO on 21 November 1993 as Clytemnestra. "I have sung for 49 years, that is enough," she said at the time.
Our score of SALOME is over 100 years old. Richard Strauss himself used it in 1942 when he conducted SALOME at Bayerische Staatsoper. In some scores there even is a handwritten list of all performances including the conductor.
