- TriviaAt 2:01:56 in the end credits is the listing (translated to English) "ROBERT SCHUMANN / Piano Concerto in A minor Op.54 / Live concert, October 2004 in the Tonhalle Zurich / Piano: Teo Gheorghiu / Zurich Chamber Orchestra / conducted by Howard Griffiths". Teo would have turned 12 on August 12, 2004, but filming of Vitus (2006) would not begin until April 2005. In the director's commentary on the 2007 DVD at 1:55:42, producer Christof Neracher mentions the production did not have sufficient funds to shoot a concert with an audience of 1500 extras, so they arranged a normal concert, mentioning there would be filming involved, and made more money on admissions than the cost of the concert and filming it. He also mentions that the production concert was Teo's first concert in Tonhalle concert hall, Zurich, so it would have been the October 2004 concert, six months before regular shooting began in April, 2005.
