FBM: Festival La Perla confesses to flash mob on the Paradeplatz in Zurich
Today at noon, FBM Communications held a flash mob on Zurich’s Paradeplatz to promote the La Perla – Aida 2013 Classical Music Festival at Pfäffikersee in Pfäffikon, Zurich. Over 100 people were captivated by the music of Giuseppe Verdi.
"With this flash mob, our musicians gave a touch of the world and the mood of Aida, as it will be seen in August 2013 on the lake stage at Lake Pfäffikon," confesses George Egloff, Managing Director Festival La Perla, about the event. The attention of the passers-by was very great, the event surprised and delighted them. Many filmed the performance with their cell phones.
Shortly after 12 o'clock, a trumpeter on the parade ground intoned the Triumphal March from Aida. He was quickly joined by other trumpeters and musicians until a full orchestra was in place. They were also joined by soprano Barbara La Faro, who rounded off the whole performance with a total of over 50 people including conductor Enrico Reggioli. Besides the Triumphal March, the aria Ritorna Vincitor was performed. After about 15 minutes the performance was ended with great atmosphere and applause of more than 100 spectators.
