Opera Gala: Sarah Willis visits the Opera Gala Bonn 2015

Charity and classical music: In this episode of Sarah's Music, Sarah Willis reports on the fourth Opera Gala for the German AIDS Foundation in Bonn 2015. Eleven internationally renowned singers performed for free for the German AIDS Foundation. They are accompanied by the choir of the Theater Bonn and the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn conducted by Stefan Blunier.

Why is classical music so well suited to charity events? Willis interviews Ulrich Heide from the German AIDS Foundation and Helmut Andreas Hartwig, one of the initiators of the opera gala. And for friends of bel canto singing, there are also some great concert excerpts to watch.
