Here at the Stuttgart Opera House, all performances are off until 04/19. As of now, that is.

Therefore, they make some performances available on-line until then.

Right now, "Le Nozze di Figaro" is on, so no tuba content. From friday on, "The love for three oranges" will be on in a very quirky staging, so, some more tuba content.

I've had a few challenging low parts in recent concerts myself.

This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQRY_T7ISgc
had a few C1 and B0 (not Bb0), and the ending had an optional 8va basso which we did. Some time
ago, I got to play a piece called "Kyrill" with an F1 that grew louder and louder, so I
was had to pull the main tuning slide all the way out while I was holding down the 4th valve with
my left hand. That ended in some D1 which sucked the life out of me :shock:

What I'm really getting at, however, is Lohengrin.

There's no excuse for not watching this because Thomas Brunmayr can be heard on tuba:
