Farin Urlaub was already travelling before he started playing music in a band. He is still a long way from achieving his goal of seeing the whole world, but for several decades now, he has been drawn back to Africa time and again. Whether on his own or with a guide, on a motorbike or in an off-road vehicle, he has visited more than 40 countries on this huge, exciting, contradictory and absolutely fascinating continent.

Tony Scott's 1986 film ‘Top Gun’ reached breathtaking heights, not least thanks to the world-famous song ‘Take My Breath Away’ and the soundtrack by Harold Faltermeyer. Even back then, there was speculation about a sequel to the screen epic and its film music. The sequel ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ by Joseph Kosinski followed 36 years later and, with six Oscar nominations and one Oscar win, is considered one of the most successful films of all time. The film music experience ‘Top Gun: Maverick - in Concert’ follows on from this. While the award-winning blockbuster is shown on the big screen, a large symphony orchestra brings the soundtrack to life live in the concert hall.

Annett Louisan is the voice of German-language chanson – she has had a decisive influence on this genre and given it her own distinctive touch. Since her debut in 2004, this exceptional artist has established herself as one of the most influential and successful figures on the German music scene. To date, she has sold well over 1.5 million records, won numerous music awards and enchanted countless people with her performances. The tour, which will take her through Germany, Austria and Switzerland from autumn 2026, is called ‘Sehnsucht’ (Longing).

Mireille Mathieu is a cultural phenomenon—a living legend. An icon and absolute crowd favorite. Her decades of enduring worldwide fame and enormous popularity are based on a truly rare combination of artistic consistency, personal integrity, a deep emotional connection to her fans, and a lifelong devotion to music.

To mark the occasion, the grande dame of chanson is giving herself and her fans the most wonderful gift and returning to the stage for 12 final dates in Germany – a fitting conclusion to her global career: Mireille Mathieu live on her grand world farewell tour.

Following his successful anniversary tour in 2024, Max Mutzke will be back on the road with his band throughout Germany in 2026, playing thirteen concerts as part of his live tour, including one in Austria. His fans can look forward to hits from the last 22 years as well as new songs.

Ferdinand von Schirach's new programme, ‘Der stille Freund’ (The Silent Friend), tells of human triumphs and failures. Of friendship, hope, Greek Stoicism and death. The programme will take on a form all its own, based on the book of the same name. However, it will only be available to experience on stage.

Timeless. Epic. Legendary. Pink Floyd wrote rock history - unforgettable songs, magical soundscapes, a unique musical aesthetic.

Stroking a fat, soft bumblebee, that would be something! Max Raabe & Palast Orchester have musically fulfilled this wish - with their new 2025 concert programme ‘Stroking a bumblebee’! Max Raabe loves animals. In his song ‘Hummel’, he dreams himself into their world, wants to put biscuits in the kangaroo's pouch or cut down trees with beavers in certain places. However, his thoughts also revolve around the effects of autocorrect (‘Start again’), cycling, or - as we know - the perfect moment that is missed. In the concert programme ‘Hummel streicheln’, Max Raabe & Palast Orchester have great fun combining popular ‘Raabe-Pop’ hits with timeless original songs from the 1920s/30s such as ‘Heute Nacht oder nie’ or ‘Wenn die Elisabeth’. While Max Raabe leads through the programme in his quirky, humorous way, the audience can sit back and switch off.

Cemetery bells. Sonorous. Gloomy. Suddenly, cold white light. Heinz Becker comes home from the funeral and into the kitchen. In his black suit, five calla lilies in his hand: ‘I forgot to throw them into the grave.’ Instead, they now lie on the kitchen table. What can you do?

Gerd Dudenhöffer plays Heinz Becker

The Philharmonie Hamburg was founded in 2003 by professional freelance musicians from around the globe. Since then, the orchestra has earned and maintained a leading position in the North German music scene. The orchestra sees itself as dynamic, able to expand from smaller chamber ensembles to a large symphony orchestra with choir. However, at its core, the orchestra has always remained a chamber orchestra, which has changed little since its foundation and is highly rehearsed.

Vivaldi – The Four Seasons

For many, the film ‘Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella’ is as much a part of Christmas as the twinkling candles on the tree, making it an integral part of the Christmas programme. It is the little magical moments that make this enchanting love story so special: the three magic nuts that grant Cinderella's wishes, the snow-covered landscapes, the festive ball – and, of course, the moment when the prince discovers the dainty shoe on the stairs.

Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella

What is really important about Christmas amid all the stress of gift-giving and organisational chaos? It's the moments spent together, the feeling of security, hope and warmth – and, of course, the wonderful music that can be heard everywhere. Gregory Porter has captured all of this beautifully on his 2023 album ‘Christmas Wish’ and will be taking it on a major tour of Germany this December. The fact that he will also be stopping off in Frankfurt with great soul songs and atmospheric Christmas classics in jazzy arrangements is, of course, particularly pleasing to our pre-Christmas hearts. When his warm, dark voice is accompanied not only by his band, but also by a string quartet, a harp and three singers under the direction of Magnus Lindgren, Christmas can finally come!

In this case, superlatives are appropriate: not only did Shakespeare write one of the most important dramas of all time around 430 years ago with Romeo and Juliet, he also created the most famous love story in world literature. Since then, the couple has fought for their love in countless adaptations. Now, it is time for a modern, contemporary, and youthful version of the classic. Peter Plate (Rosenstolz) and Ulf Leo Sommer have transformed the material into one of the most successful German-language musicals around at the moment. Based on Shakespeare's original text in the historic Schlegel translation, they have created an energetic stage show. The music is an interplay of new pop songs and emotional ballads, full of longing, tempo and power. Right in the middle of it all is the Rosenstolz hit that gives the show its title: ‘Liebe ist alles’ (Love is Everything). Following acclaimed performances in Berlin, the production will tour for the first time in 2026, with a stop in Frankfurt.

Romeo & Juliet – Love is everything

A story about courage, love and humanity: Disneys The Hunchback of Notre Dame takes the audience from the towers of the Paris cathedral to the dark alleys of medieval Paris. At the centre of the story is Quasimodo, the disfigured bell-ringer who lives in Notre Dame – far away from the world, yet longing for it. The musical tells a deeply human story about being an outsider and a love that transcends death.

As 2027 begins, the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt is celebrating with its usual dash of fine humour, performing melodiously and energetically!

If you understand ‘a cappella’ to mean pure vocal music without instrumental accompaniment, then the smart guys from Naturally 7 are not really an a cappella band. Among other things, you can hear electric guitar, bass, trumpet, trombone, harmonica and a complete drum set – but at its core are seven flawlessly intonated voices ranging from tenor to bass. Now it's time for a close-up and personal insight, time for a ‘Closer Look’. The singers from New York have been touring the world for a good quarter of a century and in 2027 they will bring a kind of ‘best of’ their band history to the Alte Oper Frankfurt with their multifaceted programme. We are looking forward to the ‘Seven Vocal Wonders of the World’ or, as Michael Jackson's producer Quincy Jones once put it: ‘Naturally 7 are the best a cappella band of all time!’ (Pro Arte Frankfurt)

Naturally 7

“The Ninth,” referred to with this simple term, is a masterpiece known to everyone. Beethoven’s last, longest, and most monumental symphony is at once the embodiment of the ideas of the genius and the rebellious artist, as well as a celebration of the whole of humankind. It is a work that pushes and indeed breaks down boundaries in every sense of the word, as it incorporates into a purely instrumental genre the human voice, which sings in the finale of how “all men become brothers.” Along with Beethoven’s universal musical and philosophical ideas, audiences can enjoy the return of the BFO’s much-loved guest artists, a Swedish soprano, a Dutch alto, an English tenor, and a German bass-baritone, who will ensure that this concert, where, together with the Pan-European Choir, they will sing Schiller’s immortal lines (now the text of the European Union anthem), will traverse national boundaries.
