BETTINA MARA
Bettina
Mara is an amateur musician or
at any rate thats what she is
on her better days - as well as an avid
concert and opera-goer. After recognizing
early on that becoming a pianist was
not in the cards for her, she trained
as a simultaneous interpreter - the
profession she makes her living in today,
alongside translating and teaching.
Of German-American origin, she has lived
nearly half her life in Athens, Greece,
where her family now includes three
daughters, several cats, two pianos
and various other musical instruments.
Besides covering music events in Southeastern
Europe for Seen and Heard, she also
writes reviews for the Berlin bi-monthly
Orpheus Oper International and other
publications.
