Berlin, October 20, 2010. DEAG Deutsche Entertainment Aktiengesellschaft
(ISIN DE000A0Z23G6) has succeeded with its subsidiary DEAG Classics AG
(joint venture partner: Sony Classical) to produce the European Classical
Music highlight 2011. The current 'dream couple of Classical Music', Anna
Netrebko and Erwin Schrott, celebrate together with Jonas Kaufmann, the
currently best tenor in the world the 'Summit Meeting of Classical Music
Stars' in Vienna, Munich and Berlin in July and August 2011.
Anna Netrebko, the exceptional charismatic opera singer and guarantor of
sold-out events at DEAG Classics since 2004 and her partner, bass baritone
Erwin Schrott, celebrated already triumphant successes in Salzburg in
2010.Together with Jonas Kaufmann DEAG Classics can now present to the
audiences an unprecedented classical triad. In this way DEAG Classics
strengthens its position as an organizer of leading Classical Music events
in Europe and marks yet another artistic and economic milestone in its
corporate history. Advance ticket sales for the summit meeting of the
Classical Music stars in Munich on the legendary Königsplatz square on July
29, 2011, in the Stadthalle in Vienna on August 6, 2011 and in Waldbühne in
Berlin August 16, 2011 commence on Friday, October 22, 2010.
CEO and producer Professor Peter Schwenkow hence seamlessly continues the
major successes achieved with Plácido Domingo, Anna Netrebko and Rolando
Villazón in 2006 and 2008. 'I am excited that these exceptional artists
have once more placed their trust in us and that we can stage together
unique highlights of classical music in these three wonderful cities.'
The classical music summit 2011 is an expression of an excellent event
pipeline of DEAG in the classical area, too, for the coming year in
Germany, England, Switzerland and Austria. It includes contractually agreed
concerts with star tenor Vittorio Grigolo, opera diva Montserrat Caballé,
the 'Crazy Queen of Baroque' Simone Kermes, violinist of the century David
Garrett, the international award-winning mezzo soprano Elina Garanca, the
top oboist Albrecht Mayer and the German opera star RenéPape. There will
also be a major European Tour of Jessye Norman as well as concerts of Lang
Lang, Ray Chen, Anja Harteros, Violetta Urmana and Ekatarina Scherbachenko.
Additional major engagements are currently being negotiated.
Consequently, DEAG assumes that the dynamic growth which marked its
classical music area during the past years will continue in 2011 with
double-digit growth rates in terms of sales revenues and results. DEAG
Classics is increasing its market share further and consolidates its
position as leading market player in the field of Classical Music in
Europe.
