Celebrate the New Year with the Berlin Philharmonic

On December 31, 2026, the year's end in CineStar Mainz will become a special concert experience: The New Year's Concert of the Berlin Philharmonic will be broadcast live from the Berlin Philharmonie onto the cinema screen. Chief conductor Kirill Petrenko, pianist Alexander Malofeev, and trumpeter David Guerrier combine musical brilliance with humor, irony, and a pointed perspective on the tradition of classical music.

A musical fireworks display full of wit and energy

The program focuses on works that combine classical form consciousness with surprising twists. Otto Nicolai's overture to The Merry Wives of Windsor opens the evening with vibrant orchestral colors. Following this, in Dmitri Shostakovich's Piano, Trumpet, and String Orchestra Concerto in C minor op. 35, virtuosic precision meets a sharply contoured musical dialogue between Alexander Malofeev and David Guerrier.

Prokofiev, Richard Strauss, and the art of the wink

Sergei Prokofiev's First Symphony, the Classical Symphony, plays with the sound ideals of Haydn and Mozart. Under Kirill Petrenko's direction, rhythm, synchronization, and orchestral transparency unfold their special charm. Richard Strauss' Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks then presents a colorful sound portrait on the screen: cheeky motifs, grotesque contrasts, and a stage performance that is impactful even without a real stage.

Live atmosphere in CineStar Mainz

The broadcast combines the closeness of a cinema with the sound dimension of a large Philharmonic concert.

To conclude, the overture to Johann Strauss' The Gypsy Baron provides a festive finale.
