Leitmotifs: Donald Runnicles – ‘Music can be with you all the time’ Dina Elsayed
By Fredrika Brillembourg
In this edition of “Leitmotifs,” opera singer Fredrika Brillembourg talks with conductor Donald Runnicles. He is the general music director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin and music director of the Grand Teton Music Festival in Jackson, Wyoming.
Fredrika talks to him about his lifelong passion for music and concerts canceled by the pandemic.
“There’s a soundtrack in my head each and every day,” says Runnicles.
Ida Sandberg lives in the Netherlands. Her job, which is offering roadside assistance to travelers in need, just got a lot tougher as some European countries plan to ease border restrictions next month without having figured out how best to do so. How is that affecting her own plans?
