Last week, I attended a talk on Financial Freedom. One of the questions raised was, "If you had a million dollars, and you can do pretty much anything you wanted, what would that be?"
One of my major answers was to travel the world and visit different music festivals. It would still take years for me to actually try that out. So far , the stops I had was at the Hong Kong Ko Shan Theatre and Bellagio's Fine Art Gallery in Las Vegas. They're even barely considered as musical tours since they just happened to be around when we traveled, and not as the main destination.
So for now, I'm drawing out a mental picture which would put in the list of the places I'd like to visit for a musical journey :)
1. Europe -
A. La Scala, Italy - The birth of the Renaissance meant new concepts in different art forms. This does not exclude vocal performance. Humanism birthed the Golden Era of Voice. Hence, the birth of Opera. La Scala is THE institution to visit for voice hobbyists, aficionados, and enthusiasts.
B. Austria - The home of the Father of Symphony, Franz Josef Haydn. Eisenstadt actually has an ongoing festival running from August 2 to to 16 this year.
C. Any place where Diana Dumrau and Cecilia Bartoli will be performing
*I think this list needs to be exhaustive. To be continued* :D
