Opera Gangnam Style

Finally, some­thing for clas­sical opera fans.

Free Christmas Concert from the Berliner Philharmoniker

Or as they call it, “Merry ChRYTH­Mas” First the oblig­at­ory trailer: And the link which causes me great anguish because my broad­band account’s speed does not sur­pass 50 kbps: Watch the free con­cert on the Ber­liner Philharmoniker’s Digital Con­cert Hall.
