CLASSICAL MUSIC PREMIERES MIPCOM 2020 100 years Salzburg Festival with two new operas, 23 concerts and three documentaries Fidelio by Christoph Waltz · Mozart y Mambo · Rossini Opera Festival · Arena di Verona et al.

SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE Dear Classical Music Lover,

Normally we would present to you our latest programmes in Prague at Golden Prague or in Cannes at MIPCOM. But since neither of them will take place, we have come up with a new "format" and from now on we will regularly inform you about all our new programmes with our "Unitel Premieres" magazine. These past months have been special for all of us and we are proud that our partners have managed to put together a truly extraordinary line up of new programmes despite Corona: First and foremost, the Salzburg Festival has proven what is possible with its groundbreaking security concept and created the "Miracle of Salzburg" for its 100th anniversary: more than 25 programmes of the highest quality, both musical and cinematic. We are presenting highlights on the next pages, the complete listing is in our special catalogue, available on our homepage www.unitel.de But also the Arena di Verona, the Rossini Opera Festival, the Teatro Massimo, the Bergen National Opera and the Grafenegg Festival have found creative solutions to present themselves to the audience. Soloists such as Cameron Carpenter, Daniel Barenboim or András Schiff, or orchestras like the Wiener Symphoniker and Munich Phil took advantage of the break and offered us special concerts for the camera. Just like in March, when the Theater an der Wien reacted quickly and transformed the opera house into a film studio for Christoph Waltz’s Fidelio. We hope that with your help many of these great programmes will reach the largest possible audience!

Sincerely yours Unitel

In 2019 – on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of his death on 16th July – the world will remember one of the great conductors of the 20th century: Herbert von Karajan, who is represented in the Unitel catalogue with nearly 50 hours of music recorded at the peak of his artistry. Karajan’s association with Unitel has produced such musical treasures as the complete cycle of Beethoven’s symphonies with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Franco Zeffirelli’s legendary 1965Bohème production from La Scala, the Verdi Requiem with the young Luciano Pavarotti, Jean-Pierre Ponnelle’s filming of Madama Butterfly with Mirella Freni, Plácido Domingo and Christa Ludwig, and many other great productions. The Unitel catalogue also contains numerous award-winning documentaries on the life of the maestro and pioneer of music recording, such as Robert Dornhelm’s “Beauty As I See It” or Eric Schulz’s “The Second Life”.
