The World Of Music And Dance Is Within Your Reach
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the IMZ have once again decided to join forces to
promote and strengthen the arts in the audio-visual media. Thus, at the 48th edition of the ITF
Golden Prague, the IMZ presented the Golden Prague Premieres and held the first Pitching Session
in cooperation with the EBU.
The programmes highlighted in the framework of the Golden Prague Premieres
(screenings) in the Small Hall at Zofin Palace:
Golden Prague Premiere I: The Vienna State Opera (TV Kultura, Russia) – The famous
opera house seen through the eyes of Russian artists
Golden Prague Premiere II:The Beauty of the Voice (Loft, Germany) – A documentary
about the international opera studio at the Zurich Opera, led by Mexican tenor Francisco Araiza.
Both productions were enthusiastically received by the audience.
On Monday, 17 October the EBU and IMZ Pitching Session took place. During their first
jointly organised Pitching session in Golden Prague, the EBU and the IMZ were looking forward to
selecting at least one new original project/event every year (from
2012 to 2014) aiming at prime time international audiences which will
be offered to all members within the EBU and the IMZ.
Five projects were pitched to the high-profile jury consisting of
Bettina Brinkmann, EBU, Marie-Odile Demay, MO Demay
Entertainment, Arild Erikstad, NRK, Peter Maniura, BBC, Lothar
Mattner, WDR and Erwin Stürzer, Arthaus Musik GmbH.
Of course, in general the festival was open to anyone interested in
high-quality music and dance programmes and films on the TV screen.
Festival participants had the chance to view all competition
programmes submitted to the 48th ITF Golden Prague in the festival's

us to moving trips from Andalusia with
Good singing hurts, over the Gibraltar

Local – Forays into a new music
scene in Cologne discovering a
flourishing new musical landscape.
The second day, mainly dedicated to
women, introduced rebetiko singer Rosa

another legend, Calypso Rose The

Dharohar (A Legacy) we saw an

Clasart Classic Wins Echo Klassik 2011
The recording of Halévy’s opera Clari, a joint production of Clasart

the Echo Klassik 2011 as best “Music DVD Production of the Year
(Opera).”
The entertaining first performance of the opera rarity in the
acclaimed modern-day production of Moshe Leiser and Patrice
Caurier advanced to become a surprise hit at the Zurich Opera. The
fact that Clari was freed from the dust of archives 180 years after its
world premiere is largely due to Cecilia Bartoli: on the trail of the
legendary soprano Maria Malibran, Bartoli came across the opera in
which the phenomenal singer embodied the title role in her day.
Supported by the Orchestra La Scintilla, “la Bartoli” has infused this
opera with new life…
Clasart Classic’s close collaboration with Cecilia Bartoli
will be continued soon: In 2012, the first year of her artistic
directorship of the Salzburg Whitsun Festival, Handel’s Baroque opera
Giulio Cesare will be on the programme. Singing alongside Cecilia
Bartoli are Andreas Scholl, Philippe Jaroussky and Anne-Sophie von
Otter. Giovanni Antonini conducts the original-instrument ensemble Il
Giardino Armonico. Clasart Classic is planning to record this musical
event.
