Semperoper

Also this year, ZDF invites you to the turn of the year with songs, hits and operetta classics from Berlin to Broadway: In the festive ambience of the Semperoper, the audience at the New Year's Eve concerts, which have now become a tradition, can expect lively melodies from the »Golden Twenties«. Conducted by Christian Thielemann, excerpts from »Metropolis«, for example, will be heard alongside well-known hit films from the heyday of cinema in the transition from silent to talkie. Berlin as the brilliant center of a new, independent operetta era and New York with its Broadway musicals and the compositions of George Gershwin are the musical focal points of the programme.
