Wonderful things happen on this Christmas Eve, as Marie lovingly rocks her nutcracker to sleep and the hands of the large grandfather clock move towards midnight. Told in an expressive and sensitive way by Martin Sieveking, this family concert takes listeners of all ages by the hand and immerses them in this magical story.

The Wedding of the Sun King

Fri, Jan 17, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Le Poème Harmonique (Choir), Le Poème Harmonique (Orchestra), Ana Quintans (Soprano), Isabelle Druet (Mezzo-Soprano), Paco Garcia (Tenor), Serge Goubioud (Tenor), Viktor Shapovalov (Bariton), Vincent Dumestre (Theorbo), Vincent Dumestre (Director)
Probably France’s largest 17th century festival comes to life again here: the wedding between the »Sun King« Louis XIV and the Spanish princess Marie-Thérèse ended the long-standing hostility of both countries in 1660 and was fittingly ostentatiously celebrated, firstly on the Spanish border, then in Paris. Thereby, a large-scale musical setting befitting their social status from sacred works via fanfares to dance and opera should also be included. Vincent Dumestre, with his period performance orchestra Le Poème Harmonique and vocalists, has put together a splendid panorama of French baroque music, which transforms the entire Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall into a royal ballroom. The proverbial timpani and trumpets sound, there is a lot of music by Jean-Baptiste Lully – Louis XIV’s favourite composer – and by Francesco Cavalli, who travelled from Italy to Paris for the wedding specifically for performances of his operas. This programme incidentally evolved from Dumestre and his ensembles for the Palace of Versailles, which the Sun King had built as an overflowing, sumptuous structure – also to make space for the theatre, ballet and opera performances he so loved. Today, the stars of the early music scene take golden hammers into their hands here and sound repertoire gems of the 16th to 18th century.

The Nutcracker

Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Hamburger Camerata, Wanja Mues (Narrator), Vilmantas Kaliunas (Conductor)
It’s Christmas Eve. Marie and Fritz Stahlbaum are excited. They are celebrating and dancing. Marie’s eyes light up when her godfather gives her a nutcracker, which she immediately takes to her heart. Fritz is delighted to receive a new squadron of hussars for his toy army, which he has been longing for. But during the night, the toys come to life, big, fat mice scurry through the room and with a rumble, the Christmas tree begins to grow and the nutcracker also comes to life. Together with him, Marie enters the land of sweets and a journey into wondrous worlds begins.

It has become a tradition for ballet companies all over the world to perform Peter Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker" at Christmas time. John Neumeier's version of "The Nutcracker", however, avoids direct reference to Christmas. In his ballet, the central character Marie celebrates her twelfth birthday and is drawn by the mysterious ballet master Drosselmeier into the fascinating world of dance ... It is, in fact, a ballet about ballet itself. Music: Peter I.
