This Saturday I missed celebrating Gustav Holst's 150th birthday. But those of you who happen to be in Germany in October may be interested to know that Holst's opera Sita will receive its world premiere performance in Saarbrücken.

I don't know yet if a broadcast or recording will follow but it would be very wise not to miss this opportunity!

This is early (and rather Wagnerian) Holst from around 1899-1906. Here's an older recording of the closing scene from Act 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGV644oHz3Y

I certainly hope that someone is able to record this.

I did contact the team at Saarbrücken but got no answer.
