The Berlin of the "golden" 1920s full of lust for life, vice and excess is the main setting of this year's film concert. With the UFA, the metropolis on the Spree was one of the most important film factories in the world and the city's large film palaces were an irresistible magnet for the public. On the threshold between silent and sound films, cinemas and lighthouses such as the Titania, the Xenon and - to this day - the Babylon on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz lured visitors with big dreams, horror stories and visions of the future.

It was the birth of film music - initially intended as a distraction from the loud rattling of the film projectors, it developed into a unique genre to which countless great composers have successfully dedicated themselves to this day.

The Kassel State Orchestra will take you back to this special era with film music by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Max Steiner, Richard Heymann and Charlie Chaplin. The musicians also accompany some film sequences from silent film classics such as Nosferatu and Berlin - The Symphony of the Big City live. And we devote ourselves to current film music about the 1920s, such as from the hit series Babylon Berlin with its legendary music scenes in the Moka Efti nightclub.
