Swingin` 25

Deutsche Oper Berlin

Duke Ellington’s name is almost synonymous with the sound of the big band era. The Deutsche Oper Berlin’s Big Band pays him homage to mark his 125th anniversary: as well as his greatest hits, they will also play the world premiere of the Manfred Honetschläger’s suite “The Famous Duke”.

A Celebration for the „Duke“

Songs such as ‘Night And Day’, ‘Love For Sale’ and ‘I've Got You Under My Skin’ have made Cole Albert Porter a legend. Experience the evergreens in funky arrangements and enjoy a summer evening full of swing. The BigBand of the Deutsche Oper Berlin plays under its musical director Manfred Honetschläger.
