Off into a new year, off into space! On New Year's Eve, the MDR Symphony Orchestra and MDR Radio Choir will embark on a musical journey to the stars. In addition to Gustav Holst's "Planets" and Philip Glass' "The Voyage", the program includes film music that will take you into the infinite expanse of space: ET, the extraterrestrial flies home with music, and fans of the legends of "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" will also get their money's worth.

With his most famous composition, Gustav Holst takes us through the imaginary spheres of space and characterizes the planets - more mythologically than astronomically. In Philip Glass' opera "The Voyage" the journey also leads into space - far beyond the horizon that Holst still considered unattainable. The selected opera excerpts raise two central questions: Stephen Hawking, the scientist, ponders the possibilities of overcoming boundaries, both physical and mental; the commander of the spaceship and the inhabitants of another star ask themselves what and who awaits them at the destination of their journey. Adventure, discovery - we wish you an exciting start into the year 2025!
