Today’s show brings Susanne’s radio ladies together once again, with stories and poems from two years of German Radio Shows , 2001 and 2002. The theme of today’s show is that of the Christmas tree. “O Tannenbaum” has quite a history and it continues to be a tree of life, with fertile green branches and decorations from apples to straw stars and even some more recent fiberglass glow in all the colors you ever wished.

Listen to the yearly reading of
Wünsdorf Christmas
by Anneliese
Volckheim
First it was just like a gentle breeze that
is like icing sugar on the withered grass and the thin birch trees laid, then
more and more condensed to a thick carpet, because for several hours, it began
to snow. Pines, spruces, and shrubs that framed the great lawn with central
sand box behind our house and other buildings on the Park Ring separated by pines tended to sink under the weight of the white cushions. A wonderful hush came over the village. The steps of the pedestrians, the sounds of occasional
passing cars disappeared in the winter wonderland. For us children was the
most wonderful time of the year dawned. My sister Rosemarie and I were sitting
in the nursery and worked cross stitch blankets under the guidance of the
faithful Luise, who served for several years now our family. The Christmas
party was imminent. Everyone tried, was hidden the mysterious preparations
prior to the big event.The apartment with the scent of gingerbread met, in
the mingled smell of pine green. One after another disappeared the puppets from
the nursery and sit opposite to agree on just mysteriously back again. While
Louise brought us to bed, we sang several voices all the beautiful carols, and
sometimes Mother told stories from her childhood during the First World War. To
this end, they lay down on the edge of our beds, which she suffered as long as
we could remember us from severe back pain. night after night was ignited by a
candle in little Advents-cabin, careful to set the cardboard roof with the chimney again, and
Rosemarie and I were to open a small window each, each one half, until finally, finally
the big gate with the baby Jesus in the manger had its turn. As children we
slept uneasily that last night before the big feast. In long night hours our
parents had made the final preparations in the Christmas room. The sliding
doors were locked and the glass panes sealed. Only when the parents came and
went there, we could sometimes catch a glimpse of tinsel blowing in the wind.
On the morning of the 24th December Luise had tearful eyes. As long as we knew
her, but especially in those hard days that were dedicated to the family, she
suffered severe homesickness. She had moved from Silesia of us from the household of our Breslau Grandmother far west to Wünsdorf near Berlin, because she longed for a home with children.
Often it came in the morning when making the bed, the tears, and when I saw her
crying, I sobbed so loudly and violently with her that she stopped scared and
whispered: "Be just quiet, Anneliese', if your mother hears us!" And
so we both calmed down again.
Rosemie and I usually went in the morning skate
on the lake Wünsdorf, where we met our clasmates. With frozen feet and
hands and red cheeks, we returned home. Early afternoon the family went
together to the village church, where we met friends and wished eachother a Merry Christmas . Returned home, the father sat at the piano and played
Christmas songs in full chords before we opened the gifts. Then, when from afar, "Silent Night"
is heard from the phonograph , we finally entered the Christmas
room. Up to the very top all the lights flickered on the tree. First we gave
children our carefully wrapped gifts, and said to the rehearsed by Luise
poetry, not without now and then to glancing at the extended dining room
table with all the wonderful gifts lovingly lay. For me it was always
the new doll, the happiest memory, while the precious silverware, which was sent by the
grandparents and godparents regularly, was largely ignored. Rosemarie, the
elder, was of a different nature.Clothing and books played a much
bigger role, and the playing with dolls ended mostly with the last day of vacation.On the other hand her the glass with mixed pickles from the Breslau packet of Omi Gretchen special joy full joy of the Christmas Eve ended whenever
our father made elaborate preparations for the flash photography: The carpets
were rolled up, a cord stretched across the room and a powderbag was hung from the cord. The camera was set up and the family positioned in front of the
tree. A hum of the timer, a bright " Puff" against the ceiling, a click, and
everything was over. The effect on the photos was always the same:.'s
Father seemed to standing behind the tree, because he had added himself last. Then
the tree with all the sweet sweets was plundered. We were allowed to stay up
a little bit longer and finally took the most beautiful toys with us tobed.

Deutschlands Beitrag zu den Oscars in diesem Jahr ist der Film Dominik Grafs "Die Geliebten Schwestern" zur Liebe zweier Schwestern mit dem Dichter Friedrich Schiller, ob er allerdings ins Ausland oder gar zu den 5 nominierten Filmen in dieser Kategorie kommt, ist fraglich.

ABOUT SARASOTA OPERA
Based in Florida’s beautiful Gulf Coast, Sarasota Opera is approaching its 55th consecutive season. In 1960, the company began presenting chamber-sized repertoire in the historic 320-seat Asolo Theater on the grounds of Sarasota’s Ringling Museum of Art. Recognizing the need for a theater more conducive to opera, the company purchased the former A.B. Edwards Theater in downtown Sarasota in 1979 and first performing in it in 1984 as the Sarasota Opera House. The theater has just undergone a $20-million renovation and rehabilitation enhancing audience amenities, while updating the technical facilities including increasing the size of the orchestra pit. The theater, which reopened in March 2008, has been called “one of America’s finest venues for opera” by Musical America.
Since 1983 the company has been under the artistic leadership of Victor DeRenzi. Since then the company has garnered international attention with its Masterwork Revivals Series, which presents neglected works of artistic merit, as well as the Verdi Cycle producing the complete works of Giuseppe Verdi. Recognizing the importance of training, Maestro DeRenzi founded the Apprentice Artist and Studio Artist programs. Sarasota Opera also maintains a commitment to education through its Invitation to Opera performances for local schools and the unique Sarasota Youth Opera program.
Sarasota Opera is sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Programs are supported in part by an award the Tourist Development Tax through the Board of County Commissioners, the Tourist Development Council and the Sarasota County Arts Council. Additional funding is provided by the City of Sarasota and the County of Sarasota.
