Forget Wagner, says Expatica’s classical music columnist Sumi Somaskanda, Munich’s Classic on Odeonsplatz concerts are the shows to catch this summer.You’re probably expecting a lengthy, detailed Bayreuth Festival feature singing the praises of Wagner. It is, after all, the biggest opera bash of the year and almost a pilgrimage or rite of passage for Wagner junkies. But let’s be honest, unless your name was on the ticket waiting list 5 years ago or you’re somehow related to the famous composer, you’re not getting anywhere near the Festspielhaus doors. And don’t try eBay either, because festival officials comb the web for re-sales! But don’t fret too much over missing Tristan and Isolde or the Ring of the Nibelung series at Bayreuth. If you put your name on the ticket list now, you might have a chance to hobnob with the Chancellor and all the other famous festivalgoers in merely a couple of years.
This July, take a trip out to Munich for an unforgettable classical experience. It’s not nearly as glamorous as Bayreuth but the Classic on Odeonsplatz concerts are not to be missed. For two nights, on the 11th and 12th of July, Odeonsplatz in the heart of old Munich transforms from a stately plaza teeming with tourists into an ethereal concert venue, with twinkling lights under a canopy of deep blue summer skies. Odeonsplatz is flanked on two sides by magnificent Munich structures—the Munich Residence and the Theatine Church. The concert stage, erected in the Hall of Heroes, looks out over the grandiose plaza with a view that stretches all the way down Ludwig Street to the dramatic Schwabing Gate. If you’ve never been to Munich, I can’t think of a better introduction to the city.
