Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel Der Originalfilm mit Live-Orchester
Large orchestra - Chemnitz Stadthalle
Program Info: Karel Svoboda - Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel
Who doesn't know the theme song from the Christmas classic "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella"? For over 50 years, the fairytale heroine has been riding dreamily through snowy landscapes on her white horse, St. Nicholas, delighting generations of viewers. Cinderella takes her fate into her own hands, fights for her great happiness, and, in doing so, unerringly shows the prince the way right from their first encounter in the forest. Stubborn and with a heart in the right place – that's what defines the film to this day. Since its first broadcast in 1973, this light hearted fairytale with its snowy backdrop and wintry, romantic atmosphere has been an integral part of Christmas programming.
Once again, the beautiful Cinderella and her prince can look forward to a very special stage: For several years now, "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella" has regularly sold out concert halls in German-speaking countries at Christmas time, transforming their stages into the setting for this enchanting love story. While the fairytale unfolds on a giant screen, Karel Svoboda's soundtrack is played live by a large orchestra, synchronised scene by scene with the romantic and humorous adventures. Shortly after the Cinderella soundtrack, Svoboda received his first commissions from the West, and his theme songs for animated films such as "Maya the Bee," "Wickie," and "Nils Holgersson" were created. But only the enchanting melody to which the princess races through the snow on her white horse can evoke such blissful feelings in the audience.
