Things to do in Leipzig, Saxony: The Best Concerts & Shows
It’s always hard to fill the shoes of someone who used to do your job very well. If you’re the choirmaster at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, guess whose shoes you have to fill? Bach’s. (No pressure.) Leipzig is closely connected to classical music—Wagner was born here, and Mendelssohn established a conservatory here in 1843. If you’re more of a melancholy, contemporary type, visit during the Wave-Gotik-Treffen, billed as the world’s largest "dark" (Goth, industrial, punk, etc.) music festival.

The Leipzig Operahouse is a nice building especially at night with all the lights on. It stands in Augustusplatz and its style can be deemed to be in line with the modern architecture, though the inclusion of some neoclassical elements is in fact remarkable. The main façade, though somehow sober, is quite attractive, especially the porticos with their balustrade and the windows having a quadrilateral shape, specifically that of a rectangle in a vertical position with the sides much longer than the top and the bottom lines. The structure inside reveals an undeniable good taste conception. Albeit there isn’t a great deal of decorative elements and despite the fact that therefore most of walls are denuded from any pictures, the small number of such elements such as the lamps and the staircase balustrade are of such a fine design that one doesn’t feel that any other elements are really necessary. The metal part of the wall lamps and of those hanging from the ceiling at the staircase is gilded in harmony with the windows frames and the relevant parts of the balustrade thus making a beautiful ensemble. The concert hall is large and has an excellent acoustics. The lamps again in the said hall, having a round shape formed by the manifold bulbs they consist of thus adequately placed to give the lamps the shape concerned, are very nice and original. The undersigned attended in that theatre the scenic interpretation of the Opera “Turandot” by Giacomo Puccini on December 17th 2017. The performance was spectacular as well as the scenery. All the singers acted and sung marvelously well and thanks to the characteristics of the theatre stage the plot could be represented with much grandiosity thus showing an evident sample of inspiration and taste, though not much respecting the composer’s conception of the place where the piece scene is laid. The relevant version of the Opera anyway makes the plot take place elsewhere than in China, concretely in a futurist science fiction world in which the general human nature of the tale is outstanding. At any rate, different from what Puccini concocted as regards other operas (La Bohème, Mme. Butterfly, etc.), which he embedded every one of them in the appropriate atmosphere, as far as Turandot is concerned he didn’t really care much about that question. By and large, the Operahouse is a very interesting building from all viewpoints. It should therefore be visited and besides it’s by all means recommendable to attend the interpretation of an opera on its stage.
