There's still much to tell. Yesterday I was at the Walt Disney Hall. It has a breathtaking architecture, that alone is worth a visit. Leonora and I saw a very very American program, performed by the LA Philharmonics under a young conductor: Appalachian Spring by Copland followed by Britten's Violin concert starring Midori and rounded off by La noche de los Mayas by Revueltas (you don't ususally hear that in German concert halls). Short and pleasant for lovers of picturesque music.

The other night we saw a musical - for me, it's a must whenever I stay in big cities. In this case an indie rock musical called "Spring Awakening", based on Wedekinds novel "Fruehlingserwachen". I liked the music at once, it was quite progressive and young but that was fitting the topic of troubled adolescence. The singers were very young and all the more it was amazing that they gave such a dynamically differentiated performance. I still have one song stuck in my head. They displayed the sexual things rather openly, with "first time sex" halfnaked on stage and masturbation and everything. I thought that was not necessary and very unamerican, but alright.
