Kirill Serebrennikov Instagram – “Olaf Scholz unexpectedly attended our performance “BAROCCO” at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg. At first, he had a glass of wine in the smoking room, and after the performance, he came backstage and expressed his admiration to the actors. Meanwhile, Tilo Werner improvised on the song “Bisogna morire,” with one verse sung in Hungarian, making a joke about Scholz and Orban’s “relationship.” Everyone laughed, but it seems that the Chancellor was not offended.”
I wrote this short text in my Telegram channel, KIRILL AND HIS FRIENDS. All the news portals in Russia rewrote this news, which is strange! And then people started congratulating me. I have never been congratulated like this before, not for birthdays, not for film awards, not for premieres in opera houses, nothing!
Well, luckily, the Chancellor’s visit doesn’t mean much here, in Germany, it can’t change anything in anybody”s life; he’s just another audience member, albeit a famous and important one. I am thrilled that the Chancellor enjoyed our “Barocco,” but what’s even more important is the long standing ovation from the audience and the fact that we have three sold-out shows, and we even wanted to add a fourth performance… | Posted on 17/Dec/2023 15:33:15
