ABBA DIAMONDS – The ABBA Tribute Show "In der Welt der Popmusik hat keine andere Band ein derart beeindruckendes musikalisches Erbe hinterlassen wie die vier Schweden Agnetha Fältskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Björn Ulvaeus und Benny Andersson. ABBA hat es geschafft, über vier Generationen hinweg Fans und Musikliebhaber gleichermaßen zu faszinieren und zu begeistern. Ihre einzigartigen Melodien und mitreißenden Songs haben einen bleibenden Eindruck in der Musikwelt hinterlassen, der bis heute spürbar ist. Mit “Waterloo” eroberte ABBA vor fünfzig Jahren die weltweiten Charts und die Herzen der Menschen im Sturm! Der Sieg beim Grand Prix in Brighton 1974 machte die sympathischen Schweden über Nacht zur bekanntesten Pop-Band dieser Zeit. Es folgte Hit auf Hit: “Mamma Mia”, “SOS“, “Super Trouper”, “Knowing Me Knowing You”, “Chiquitita”, “Money Money Money” und viele andere mehr. ABBA brach nicht nur Rekorde in den Charts, sondern veränderte auch die Vorstellung davon, was Popmusik sein kann. Ihre Bühnenshows und Musikvideos setzten neue Maßstäbe und inspirierten zahllose Künstler weltweit. "ABBA - Diamonds" bringt in einem mit viel Liebe zum Detail choreografierten Live-Konzert die unvergesslichen Songs von ABBA auf die Bühne, und das Publikum jeden Alters kann sich gleichermaßen daran erfreuen. Vor 50 Jahren wurde aus den individuellen Talenten von Agnetha, Björn, Benny und Anni-Frid das unvergleichliche Phänomen ABBA geboren. Mit ihren eingängigen und einzigartigen Songs haben sie die Musikwelt für immer verändert und dominiert. Jetzt lässt "ABBA - Diamonds" den Glanz und die Ohrwürmer aus der Glitzerwelt wieder aufleben, und das Publikum kann sich auf ein unvergessliches Konzerterlebnis freuen. Wochenlang wurde daran gearbeitet, den unverwechselbaren ABBA-Klang zu reproduzieren und die Musik im Sinne ihrer Vorbilder perfekt zu interpretieren. Mit Superhits wie "Waterloo", "Money, Money, Money", "Thank You for the Music", "Mamma Mia", "SOS", "Super Trouper", "Dancing Queen", "Chiquitita" und "Fernando" wird "ABBA - Diamonds" die ABBA-Glitzerwelt auf der Bühne wieder lebendig werden lassen."

The Glory of Queen

Fri, Feb 7, 2025, 20:00
Gewandhaus Leipzig, Großer Saal (Leipzig)
Queen ist eine der größten Rockbands aller Zeiten. "We are the Champions" sang der einzigartige Freddie Mercury bereits in den 70ern - und Freddie, die Diva des Rock, hinterlässt eine enorme Beliebtheit bei Millionen von Fans. So wählten ihn die Leser der Zeitschrift „Classic Rock“ im Jahr 2009 zum besten Sänger aller Zeiten. Aber auch seine Qualitäten als Komponist waren außergewöhnlich. Das belegen Welthits wie: „Bohemian Rhapsody“, "Crazy little Thing", „Don´t Stop me now“ u.v.m. MerQury ist eine der wenigen Gruppen, die mittlerweile weltweit vor begeistertem Publikum auftreten. Viele Touren führten sie durch Europa und Nordamerika. Seit der Gründung 1991 spielten MerQury weit über 1.500 Shows in 16 verschiedenen Ländern. Die Musiker der Band waren außerdem Hauptakteure in dem Erfolgsmusical „We are the champions“, welches von mehr als 150.000 Fans in ganz Europa gefeiert wurde. Hierbei geht das Konzept von MerQury mit einer Mischung aus täuschend echt interpretierten Queen-Songs und eigenen kreativen Stilistiken voll auf. Die fünf Vollblutmusiker überzeugen selbst eingeschworene Queen-Fans und bieten den Besuchern ein außergewöhnliches Konzerterlebnis. Die gelungene Kombination von brillantem Sound, aufwendiger Lichtshow mit explosiven Pyroeffekten, schrille Kostüme und jede Menge Publikumsinteraktion machen jedes Konzert von MerQury unvergleichlich. Als Frontmann überzeugt der aus Montreal stammende Johnny Zatylny nicht nur optisch in der Rolle von „Freddie Mercury“. Vor allem stimmlich brilliert der Sänger in schwierigen Passagen weltbekannter Queen-Songs. Als extravaganter Entertainer gewinnt er in kürzester Zeit die Sympathie der Zuschauer. Lassen Sie sich begeistern von einer aufwendigen Bühnenshow, dem einzigartigen Queen-Sound, live gespielt auf originalgetreuen Instrumenten und unterstützt von einer authentischen Lichtshow. Machen Sie eine Zeitreise in die 70er und 80er, der großen Ära von Queen und ihren unvergesslichen Hymnen.
