The most memorable aspect of the Europakonzert 1998 from Stockholm was the unique venue. The Vasa Museum, with its stunning 17th-century ship as the backdrop, created an extraordinary atmosphere. The Berliner Philharmoniker, Swedish Radio Choir, and Swedish Radio Choirperformed the carefully curated program. The repertoire was carefully chosen to complement the maritime surroundings with Wagner's Overture to "The Flying Dutchman" and Tchaikovsky's "The Tempest."
