The Berliner Philharmoniker with Daniel Barenboim as conductor and star tenor Plcido Domingo.

The Berlin Philharmonic opened the evening with the dramatically arranged overture to La forza del destino by Giuseppe Verdi and the aria of Don Carlo: Lo I'ho perduta interpreted by Plcido Domingo. With the fascinating and deep going interpretation the art of music and architecture seem to melt in this place.
