H. Draper – who is planning to stage the opera Der Doctor von Alcantara – will give so-called “Sacred Concerts” for church music on Sundays from coming Sunday on. We wonder if the police will interfere and stop the concerts, because music on Sundays is not allowed. Maybe there will be an exception for church music. The term “church music” seems very flexible here in the United States. Arias from Lombardi and “Winden wir den Jungfernkranz” are sung with the text of “Gloria Deo in excelsis”.
The very talented singer Ms. Stella Bonheur will participate in these concerts.
