Three opera legends vs. a fairy-tale castle. The walls are vibrating.
The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, conducted by Omer Meir Wellber, takes over Neuschwanstein Castle in southern Germany for a lyrical concert featuring soprano Golda Schultz, tenor Rolando Villazón, and baritone Ludovic Tézier. In this grandiose building constructed by Ludwig II of Bavaria, the prestigious trio performs works by Mozart, Verdi, and Lehár.

That acoustic. Those voices. Your speakers will weep.
Production
Staging opera in Ludwig II's vanity project? Unhinged genius.
Director
Andreas Morell
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Neuschwanstein inspired Disney's Sleeping Beauty castle, so you're basically watching opera in the mother of all theme park references.
Ludwig II died mysteriously days after being declared insane; this concert is essentially a séance with his architectural ghost.
