Violinist

The new programme »Opium – Light and Shadow of the Twenties« by the Berlin-based dream duo Eckart Runge and Jaques Ammon reflects the creative, decadent and frivolous 1920s - a brief era of awakening, turmoil, sensuality, seduction and ecstasy, but also a time with a premonition of impending catastrophe. »Opium« features music by Korngold, Mahler, Debussy, Bloch, Hindemith, Gershwin and others. The two artists have also arranged film music by Tom Tykwer and Johnny Klimek for their own ensemble and recorded it for several seasons of the internationally successful TV series »Babylon Berlin«.

Kurhaus Hall

Great cinema (and not only) for the ears: This morning, the extraordinary duo surprises audiences with film music classics from Morricone to Chaplin and treasures from the archives, such as original sequences from the 1905 silent film "Le Diable Noir" by illusionist and film pioneer George Meliès.

Is there a more bombastic life's work than that of John Williams with 54 Oscar nominations, 68 Grammy nominations and almost all composition commissions for the Spielberg films? It's almost reminiscent of Mozart and Da Ponte. To be honest, the eight billion people on this earth are probably more familiar with the Star Wars fanfares than Don Giovanni. Incidentally, the Hollywood sound was invented by Erich Wolfgang Korngold...
