Flashmob Valencia (Spain) : Opera at the market 2009
13 November 2009 : an ordinary day at the Central Market of Valencia. Suddenly, beautiful classical music starts sounding over the market stores of fruits and vegetables : fragments of Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata are sung by professional opera singers ! Look at the faces and reactions of the buyers and customers, amazed before such magic and divine music, and by the confidence of good taste. Some are even moved into tears...

Valencia is the capital of the Province of Valencia. Founded by the Romans, the city became famous in the 15th century for its silk weaving and its silk stock exchange. At that time, the city had already 75,000 inhabitants and it created numerous Gothic city palaces.
After our arrival in Valencia, we first visited the beach, Playa de las Arenas.
A miles long sandy beach, up to 400 m wide, invites you to linger in the summer. During our visit in April, the weather is not so great yet, so that there is hardly anyone here. But the beach offers more. A wide beach promenade allows long walks and offers various entertainment possibilities. Coffee and restaurants but also shopping possibilities.
Then we take a short tour around the sports harbor and look at a few yards and boats.
Afterward, we drive to the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències, the city of arts and sciences. Today it is the main attraction of Valencia.
In the 1950s, catastrophic floodwaters raged throughout the city. As a result, one drained the Rio Turia in the city area and directed the river south of the city in a new artificial riverbed to the sea.
The City of Arts and Sciences, consisting of an IMAX cinema, a natural science museum, a botanical garden, the largest aquarium in Europe, an opera house and music palace, a cable-stayed bridge, and an event space, was created in the dry riverbed.
The futuristic buildings of star architect Santiago Calatrava leave us astonished. They represent a very successful ensemble that attracts many visitors.
After getting a rough overview, we continue to the center of the old town. In front of the famous cathedral, we find a parking lot in an underground car park.
We walk to another highlight, the silk stock exchange. It is the most important secular Gothic building in Europe. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996.

Valencia ist die Hauptstadt der Provinz Valencia. Gegründet von den Römern, wurde die Stadt im 15. Jahrhundert bekannt durch ihre Seidenweberei und ihre Seidenbörse. In jener Zeit hatte die Stadt bereits 75.000 Einwohner und es entstanden bereits zahlreiche gotische Stadtpaläste.
Nach unserer Ankunft in Valencia besuchten wir zuerst den Strand Playa de las Arenas.
Ein kilometerlanger Sandstrand, bis zu 400 m breit lädt im Sommer zum Verweilen ein. Bei unserem Besuch im April ist das Wetter noch nicht so toll, so dass sich hier kaum jemand aufhält. Aber der Strand bietet mehr. Eine breite Strandpromenade erlaubt lange Spaziergänge und bietet diverse Unterhaltungsmöglichkeiten. Kaffees und Restaurants aber auch Einkaufsmöglichkeiten.
Anschließend machen wir einen kleinen Rundgang um den Sporthafen und schauen uns einige Werften und Boote an.
Im Anschluss fahren wir zur Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències, Stadt der Künste und der Wissenschaften. Es ist heute die Hauptattraktion von Valencia.
In den 50er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts wüteten katastrophale Hochwasser in der Stadt. Daraufhin wurde der Rio Turia im Stadtgebiet trockengelegt und südlich der Stadt in einem neuen künstlichen Flussbett zum Meer geleitet.
Im trockengelegten Flussbett entstand die Stadt der Künste und der Wissenschaften bestehend aus einem IMAX Kino, einem naturwissenschaftlichen Museum, einem botanischen Garten, dem größten Aquarium Europas, einem Opernhaus und Musikpalast, einer Schrägseilbrücke und einem Veranstaltungsplatz.
Die futuristischen Gebäude des Stararchitekten Santiago Calatrava lassen uns nur staunen. Sie stellen ein äußerst gelungenes Ensemble dar, das viele Besucher anzieht.
Nachdem wir uns einen groben Überblick verschafft haben, fahren wir weiter in das Zentrum der Altstadt. Vor der berühmten Kathedrale finden wir einen Parkplatz in einer Tiefgarage.
Wir beschließen zu Fuß ein weiteres Highlight, die Seidenbörse, aufzusuchen. Sie ist das bedeutendste profane Bauwerk der Gotik in Europa. Sie zählt seit 1996 zum UNESCO Weltkulturerbe.

Giacomo Puccini - La Bohème - Riccardo Chailly - Palau de les Arts, Valencia/Spain
Accentus Music's new release on DVD/Blu-ray in November 2013: The musical notes of this Puccini masterpiece provide the starting point and foundation for a new, highly successful collaboration between Riccardo Chailly and Davide Livermore. In their interpretation, there is no moment, no movement, that goes against the musical meaning (R. Chailly). The result is an energetic, authentic, and atmospherically strong Bohème, in which every sacred phrase receives its own orchestral colour, its own dynamic and its own expression. (Corriere della Sera)
