October 6, 1991: Performance to celebrate the opening of the
Andrei Tarkovsky Festival in Vienna
This Vienna production is the identical
to the one at Covent Garden in 1982. Under the enthusiastic
initiative of Maestro Claudio Abbado, the Festival was composed of
Tarkovsky's films, exhibitions, concerts, poetry readings, and symposia,
in addition to the opera production.
It was the Maestro's farewell to Vienna's music lovers, for he had already
decided to leave the post of Music Director at the Vienna State Opera.
