Happy Birthday and congratulations on receiving the Kieler Kulturpreis 2014!

The Kiel Opera House and Cristóbal Halffter can look back on a long and highly successful collaboration: two of Halffter’s three operas (Schachnovelle and Lázaro) were commissioned by the Opera House, and his Don Quijote celebrated its first German performance there. The award ceremony will take place on 29 June.
