Even though it's not my first trip to
Salzburger Festspiele I'm getting increasingly excited [
taking off tomorrow] ;)
The reason?! You might have already noticed that I'm an admirer of fine art --
I try and find the stuff I like in any style but I most resonate with modern and contemporary art -- so the program in Salzburg this year looks like a perfect hit to me:
Daniel Richter created the sets for
Lulu, and
Jonathan Meese for
Dionysus. Now combine these creations with live theater and a good/dramatic opera, and you get my dream-Lulu.

Lulu, to keep my enthusiasm [and potential surprises] intact. I did, however, google about Daniel Richer and came across the following video:
