What would a New Year's Eve be without the immortal melodies of Johann Strauss, especially at the end of the jubilee year for his 200th birthday? Our New Year's Eve program does not stop there, but focuses on the important role of the waltz in music history. In any case, the musical champagne bubbles under the accomplished baton of Florian Ludwig in a program that conveys joie de vivre and amusement in equal measure. The actor, singer and self-confessed operetta lover Max Müller leads the audience through the colorful program with a twinkle in his eye and gives numerous samples of his artistic diversity. Here's to a happy new year 2026!
