NO WORRY, WE'RE DOING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME!

Reading with Music NO WORRIES, WE'RE DOING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME! Andrea Chudak and Yuki Inagawa Short anecdotes about concert life "The theater is a lunatic asylum and the opera is the department for the incurable." How true. But if that’s the case – what happens behind the curtain? In the preparation of the impossible arts? Or, to put it another way: If the audience knew what artists go through before or even while the beautiful tones reach their ears, they would smile or even burst out laughing. Andrea Chudak has noted some of her favorite experiences (all of which really happened!) and offers deep insights into the beautiful facade: much is born out of necessity, and one can be glad that some concerts have a happy ending! This reading is not only a joy for the initiated (who will sigh: Exactly, that happens all the time!), it brings art down from the pedestal of sublimity and makes clear what we have before us: a craft. In which, indeed, many things do not work out. Nothing is more human than making mistakes. And when music still emerges from it – what a gift! Andrea Chudak is an opera and concert singer who throws herself into the many stage situations that her vibrant musical life offers with unbridled curiosity and a passionate heart. In doing so, she often discovers new concert venues and experiences many unusual situations with all the long-standing and newly joined companions by her side. A humorous look behind the scenes of the artist's everyday life and its challenges is offered. Andrea Chudak (from Fürstenwalde) is an opera and concert singer who throws herself into the many stage situations that her vibrant musical life offers with unbridled curiosity and a passionate heart.
