-  in 1906, we see the birth of Billy Wilder in Austria.  He was a renowned movie director.  Among his best known films are the "Seven Year Itch" and "Some Like It Hot".

-  in 1936, German boxer Max Schmelling knocks out American great Joe Louis in New York.  In 1938 Louis Knocks out Schmelling in one round!

-  In 1948, we see the start of the Berlin Airlift.

-  In 1963, President John F. Kennedy visits Berlin, pledging solidarity and support of the people of Berlin.

-  And in 2013 we see the passing of Marshall Lytle, original bass fiddle player for Bill Haley and the comets.  Marshall and the Comets started Rock and Roll in 1955 with songs like Rock Around The Clock, Shake, Rattle and Roll, and See you Later Alligator.

The Florida Orchestra Announces Limited On-Stage Seating at Select Masterworks Concerts Kicking Off at Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 on Nov. 8, 9 & 10

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – October 22, 2013 – The Florida Orchestra (TFO) has announced that it will offer limited on-stage seating at ten of this season’s Tampa Bay Times Masterworks concerts starting with Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 on November 8, 9 and 10 in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater.   Priced at $75 for on-stage seating, the number of concertgoers that can be accommodated at each performance ranges from three to ten, depending on the music being presented, as each piece requires different numbers of musicians and specific orchestra configurations on stage.

TFO Chairman Tom Farquhar said, “We are continually exploring ways to reach out to the community, make the orchestra more accessible and enhance that experience for concertgoers.  We hope this new initiative will provide an opportunity for more adventuresome music lovers to see and hear a concert from our musicians’ unique perspective.  The on-stage seating option will also give people a glimpse into the backstage area of what goes on just prior to a concert as well as some of the preparations musicians are making just before going on stage to perform.”

Evening Masterworks Concerts with On-Stage Seating:
  • Mar 21-23: Bartok’s Piano Concerto No. 1
  • Apr 11-13: Mozart, Diamond & Brahms
  • Apr 25-27: Tan Dun’s Water Concerto
  • May 16-18: Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique

The ticket prices for reserved seats in the halls for Masterworks are $15, $30 and $45.  The on-stage seating price is $75 for those who would like to be alongside the musicians, enjoy a head-on view of the conductor leading the orchestra and get a musician’s view of the concert hall. 


Reservations are available by phone at 727.892.3337 or 1.800.662.7286, and at The Florida Orchestra Ticket Center located in the St. Petersburg College Building at 244 2nd Avenue North (main floor) in downtown St. Petersburg.  Business hours are Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 3pm.

Film "Chef" 

Liebe Freunde des Kulturspiegels,
 heute geht es um Kulinarisches, Essen und trinken, Kuba und Oper, alles eine Frage der Lust und Begeisterung. Diese Begeisterung kann bei Weltklassestimmen und wunderbaren Auffuehrungen nur steigen, sie ist fuer jedermann und fast ueberall nun "live" von New York via Digitaltechnik im In- und Ausland zu sehen und hoeren, hautnah und in der Gesellschaft anderer, die sich im kleineren Cobb Filmtheater mit Wein und Essen diese Opernauffuehrungen ansehen. ( Popcorn emphielt sich nicht) Verstehen Sie mich nicht falsch, es kann live Stimmen und live Oper vor Ort, die von lokalen Operntheatern angeboten werden, nicht ersetzen, aber es ist schon fantastisch , dass wir aus New York oder manchmal Milan auf grosser Leinwand sehen, was man frueher einfach nicht bekam, Zugang zu Weltklasse Stimmen und Akteuren. Tom qualitaet und Nahaufnahmen unwahrscheinlich, Zeitraffung des Nuehnenaufbaus, Interviews in der Pause mit grossen Stars! 

St. Pete Opera "live"


La Cenerantola, Rossinis Aschenputtel, am 10.Mai 2014 und Encorevorfuehrung war bis zum Herbst die letzte solche MET Auffuehrung, man konnte sie nochmal abends (14.5.) sehen, und bei ca. 26 Dollar ist dies erschwinglich,wenn auch nicht zum Preis einer Kinokarte, die Gott sei Dank trotdem noch um die 10 Dollar oder Euro liegt. Aber Oper ist eben etwas besonderes!

Im grossen Saal der Citrus Mall Kinos ( 250-300 Plaetze) kam ich mir mit wenigen anderen , allerdings an einem Wochenabend, etwas verloren vor, man moechte dies zusammen erleben und ein Applaudieren kommt nicht an und wird zaghaft gemacht,wenn ueberhaupt, weil es ja nur fuer die Mitapplaudierenden bestimmt ist und bei den Stars auf der Leinwand nicht ankommt.
kein Food truck...

Zum Schluss geht es heute noch um Kulinarisches, um Food Trucks und um kubanische Kueche, die man in Tampa zur Genuege kennt, denn Tampa hat den Preis fuer das beste Cuban Sandwich gewonnen und damit soger Miami ausgestochen. Allerdings ist die Weisung "Don't go hungry" wenn Sie sich den neuen Film "Chef" von Jon Faveau ansehen, ein sehr guter Hinweis. schon der "Food Critic" der lokalen Zeitung, der sich mit mir die Vorschau ansah, brachte kubanische Snacks fuer sich und seine Freunde mit. 
Es ist die Story eines kulinarischen Enthusiasten von dem Regisseur des Films Jon Favreau selbst gespielt, und mit anderen Groessen der Spanisch-kubanischen Latino Schauspielriege bestens unterstuetzt und einem kleinen Jungen, der es noch weit bringen wird, und der den Sohn des hoffnungsvollen Kochgenies spielt. Spass haben alle in dem wieder hergerichteten Foodtruck, einem sehr zeitgverechten Phaenomens, den  von Kueste zu Kueste wird das rollende Schnellimbissgeschaeft immer staerker, und man kann wie in verkehrsreichen Kursbstimmten Handyanzeigen, per Twitter gleich den Weg des Trucks und damit ausgezeichneten kulinarischen Erlebnissen verfolgen. 
Gaby Grohlich, dann, weist uns ein in den typisch jahreszeitlichen Spargel-(und Erdbeer-)verkauf in Deutschland ( Gaby Grohlich: Tagebuch mit Beginn 24.April 2002 ( 24.4-24.6 Spargelsaison). Soweit zur heutigen Sendung, und "mmmm", kann ich nur sagen, kommen Sie mit! Und guten Apetit!



Wir bedanken uns bei allen, die uns diese Erebnisse serviert haben, besonders Herrn Terjung, der uns den bericht seiner darmstaedter Tonbandfreundin Gaby Grohlich zusandte,  und wuenschen Ihnen allen einen schoenen Fruehling und eine schoene Spargelzeit. Wir wuenschen uns gute und bessere Bedingungen fuer die deutschen Spargelverkauefer und dass foodtrucks auch in Ihre nachbarschaft kommen, eine toller Spass fuer alle! es gibt inzwischen ganze festivals der Foodtrucks, schnelle und toille Kueche fuer den , der alles gleich probieren moechte. Und beim Zuschauen wird Ihnen das Wasser im mund zusammen laufen und vielleicht kommen Sie auch auf den geschmack der kubanischen musik, es tanzt und isst sich in dieser kultur besonders gut! Ob Tampa, Miami oder Kuba, wir wuenschen Guten Apetit!

The Florida Orchestra Announces Limited On-Stage Seating at Select Masterworks Concerts Kicking Off at Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 on Nov. 8, 9 & 10

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – October 22, 2013 – The Florida Orchestra (TFO) has announced that it will offer limited on-stage seating at ten of this season’s Tampa Bay Times Masterworks concerts starting with Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 on November 8, 9 and 10 in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater.   Priced at $75 for on-stage seating, the number of concertgoers that can be accommodated at each performance ranges from three to ten, depending on the music being presented, as each piece requires different numbers of musicians and specific orchestra configurations on stage.

TFO Chairman Tom Farquhar said, “We are continually exploring ways to reach out to the community, make the orchestra more accessible and enhance that experience for concertgoers.  We hope this new initiative will provide an opportunity for more adventuresome music lovers to see and hear a concert from our musicians’ unique perspective.  The on-stage seating option will also give people a glimpse into the backstage area of what goes on just prior to a concert as well as some of the preparations musicians are making just before going on stage to perform.”

Evening Masterworks Concerts with On-Stage Seating:
  • Mar 21-23: Bartok’s Piano Concerto No. 1
  • Apr 11-13: Mozart, Diamond & Brahms
  • Apr 25-27: Tan Dun’s Water Concerto
  • May 16-18: Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique

Reservations are available by phone at 727.892.3337 or 1.800.662.7286, and at The Florida Orchestra Ticket Center located in the St. Petersburg College Building at 244 2nd Avenue North (main floor) in downtown St. Petersburg.  Business hours are Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 3pm.
