On one side the G20 heads of state in the Elbphilharmonie listen to Beethoven and on the other side we see what was going on in the streets of Hamburg, this on the split screen, uploaded by N24. Clockwork Orange in the live stream, so to speak: «We had our fun with other drivers for a while... And really let the cow fly! Then we headed west for one of our old surprise visits... It was always a killer trip with big things, lots of screaming and ultra-violence! It was a wonderful evening and what it needed to end truly grandly was a little of the old Ludwig van..."
After the first day of the Political Summit, the G20 heads of state and government have chosen a different tone. First Lady Melania Trump is also listening to the classical music in the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie. The G20 riots spoiled her daily program.
Most of the G20 heads of state and government attended a concert in Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie after their political talks on Friday evening. Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU), the summit host, was one of the first to arrive at the massively secured concert hall with her husband Joachim Sauer. More than an hour later, US President Donald Trump and his wife Melania - she in a white dress - were driven up. Also there: Trump's daughter Ivanka with her husband Jared Kushner.
