"Tausendundeine Nacht"

A Persian sultan, enraged by his unfaithful wife, murders a young woman every morning. A clever princess aims to end this terror through storytelling. This frame story from "One Thousand and One Nights" inspired Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade." A solo violin portrays the princess, while the orchestra depicts her stories of storms, caravans, feasts, and flying carpets.

Nacht und Geister

The Wilmersdorf Chamber Choir celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Together with pianist Philip Mayers, they present works from the 19th to 21st centuries in various instrumentations: mixed choir a cappella and with piano, as well as women's choir and solo singing with piano and piano solo. Hear about the fate of a water fairy, an elf, and the storm wind of menacing spirits, before concluding the evening with meditative sounds.

Im Herzen des Lichts. Die Nacht der Primadonnen

Every 33 years, the 12 best singers in the world assemble in a secret grotto close to the picturesque town of Taormina on the east coast of Sicily. There, they celebrate a joyous festival of voices from sunset to sunrise. Songs of different styles and cultures ring out and blend into an energetic artistic synthesis. André Heller brought to life a 70-minute excerpt from this self-conceived mythical ritual in an imaginative film together with the Oscar award winner Pepe Danquart in 2002. The prima donnas are thereby represented by international stars, such as the opera singer Jessye Norman, the double Grammy award winner and jazz legend Dee Dee Bridgewater, the Israeli singer Achinoam Nini known as Noa and the Portuguese Fado singer Cristina Branco. An electrifying alternative to the fast-paced music videos of the present day.
