The Cast – die Opernband: THE WINTER SHOW – Classical Christmas Edition

In the organizer's words:

THE CAST have revolutionized the music scene with their fresh, unconventional way of presenting classical music. With charm, humor and spontaneity, the international ensemble of classically trained singers builds a bridge between the big opera stages and an audience that wants to discover classical music in a new, lively way.

They are accompanied by Yu Chen, the three-time Echo Klassik nominated Viennese concert pianist, who not only supports the five singers with his musical virtuosity, but also brings a special dynamic to every concert with his creative and humorous accents.

With The Winter Show, THE CAST has created a dazzling program that combines opera and operetta melodies with classical and newer Christmas songs. When the treasure chest of their "Winter Edition" is opened, works by Verdi, Puccini, Handel, Tchaikovsky and Strauss can be heard alongside classics by Lehár, Humperdinck and Irving Berlin. With charming, humorous presentations and their fresh approach, THE CAST bring these masterpieces into the here and now and at the same time make it possible to experience their timeless beauty and emotional depth in a new way.

Virtuosity, the joy of playing and the energy of a live band merge with THE CAST to create a thrilling experience that will delight lovers of classical music and opera just as much as those who have (previously) had nothing to do with it. In addition to a festive, Christmassy atmosphere, the artists in The Winter Show bring a smile to their audience's faces more than once with their playful lightness and their consistently humorous approach to the works.

The Winter Show - that's Christmas with Verdi, Puccini, Mozart and THE CAST: a sparkling delight for all those who have missed the fun in classical music and opera so far!
