Opera Instruments: Cello (Feature, German language)
Channel: DeutscheOperBerlin
Date: 2021-04-04

Here we are again: The Orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin and Junge Deutsche Oper are welcoming you to the second edition of their presentation series "Opera Instruments"!

After the all-round talent trumpet, today it's the turn of another jack-of-all-trades. The violoncello! 

Stephan Buchmiller, Arthur Hornig, Margarethe Niebuhr and Ulrike Seifert introduce their instrument to today's presenter Clara Wispler from the children's chorus of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, clear up clichés, reveal vibrato tricks and crazy sources of inspiration.

In the new film series "Opera Instruments", our education program Junge Deutsche Oper as well as musicians of the Deutsche Oper Berlin present instruments of the opera orchestra. In addition to obvious questions about sound, type of playing or range of use, our junior editors also want to know quite different things from the instrumentalists: How does one get such an instrument in the first place? Is it difficult to learn? Why does it have to be an opera orchestra anyway? What were the most embarrassing moments? It remains exciting.
