monuments, the "Kaiserthermen" and the amphitheatre. Both magnificent
structures have been placed on the UNESCO List of World Cultural Heritage. The

the illuminated underground labyrinth of the ancient bath. The music written by
Peter Mergener and Alquimia, was specially designed for this event and at the
