Don Giovanni cast in Europe

"On Jan. 24th, 2006, at 7:30 our exhibition begins with a celebratory Vemissage to which guest from various ranges such as arts, politics and economics are invited. Mr Buzz Schwall, it would be a very special honor for us, if you could attend this grand grand opening personally in order to be able to say a few words yourself regarding your wonderful marionettes from the Mozart opera "Don Gionvanni" which you intend to lend us.
In this way the invited guest and the press would have the possibility to not only view the marionettes you loaned us but also would have chance to meet their talented creator personally, simply because Don Giovanni loans from Alaska represnts the basic idea of the exhibition "Classical music connects the world". Despite the far journey from your country we would be greatly pleased to welcom you here in Augsburg on Jan. 24th 2006.

With kind regards,

Oliver Seitz
Director of Museum"
