Frederica von Stade and Maximilian Schell will host a gala at Vienna's historic Konzerthaus, featuring the Vienna Boys' Choir, Russell Watson, singers, orchestra, and ballet, to be shown on PBS early August. The concert was taped live on April 25, 2013. Check for local listings (and be ready for KQED-TV's programming at dawn's early light).
PBS says the program is "one of the most lavish song and dance gala concert specials ever produced for public television," and then lists the "international cast of top singing stars." It will feature sopranos Daniela Fally, Iva Milhanovic, and Alexandra Reinprecht; tenors Dmitry Korchak and Tilmann Unger; baritone, Daniel Serafin, "as well as many leading stars from the acclaimed Budapest Operetta Theater." If, like me, you don't know any of these "top singing stars," the show will provide an opportunity to make your acquaintance.
