All over Dortmund, you will find colorful rhinos with wings. These are the symbol of the Konzerthaus because rhinos are known for their exceptional hearing and the wings represent music's ability to lift your spirits.
We enjoyed a Dortmund city tour with Carl Schmoelder and Martin Everding.
Here we are sitting in front of a fountain near the city hall.
Tonight we had a wonderful time at the Italienische Operngala Mit Feuerwerk as part of the Klangvokal Musikfestival series in Dortmund. Although rain was in the forecast, the evening was just perfect as we listened to the sounds of opera singers Ermonela Jaho and Saimir Pirgu under the stars. Even the ducks joined in on the fun by making several appearances in the lake during the performance. The team was joined by some of our host families and new Rotarian friends. We would like to give a special thanks to one of our regional coordinators, Carl Schmoelder, for arranging another outstanding evening in the lovely city of Dortmund. A first time experience for many of us, the open-air opera will serve as one of the many great memories during our time in Germany. An awesome fireworks display accompanied Aida's Triumphant March which ended the night with a bang!
