BERLIN, GERMANY, June 25, 2011 (Press-News.org) Berlin's Classic Open Air festival will celebrate its 20th anniversary when it returns to the German capital's Gendarmenmarkt square in mid-July.
Since it first took place in 1992, the event has attracted around 600,000 people to 105 shows across a diverse range of genres, including everything from soul, swing and pop to operettas and stage musicals.
To mark the milestone occasion, the organisers have planned seven concerts that are designed to be as appealing to young rock'n'rollers as more mature opera enthusiasts.
Comedian and entertainer Herbert Feuerstein has been lined up to present the opening night, which has been billed as the Best of Classic Open Air.
Described as a "glittering musical retrospective", it will comprise 20 pieces that have been performed at previous editions of the festival, as well as a grand fireworks finale.
Proceedings will commence at 19:30 local time on Thursday July 7th and tickets cost from EUR54.33 to EUR104.93 (GBP48.10 to GBP92.90).
Among the other highlights of Classic Open Air is German TV personality and singer Dominique Horwitz's presentation of well-known songs from the James Bond movie franchise, performed by London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Set to take place on the festival's final night, Tuesday July 12th, the production will be conducted by Carl Davis, with vocals from Mary Carewe.
The show is due to get underway at 19:30 and ticket prices are the same as for the opening night concert.
Festival-goers with more classical tastes may prefer to watch Carmina Burana and Credo, with music from the Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt.
As well as live music, this concert will feature a light and laser show to make it a truly audiovisual experience.
Ticket prices range from EUR47.43 to EUR93.43, with the show scheduled to start at 19:30 on Saturday July 9th.
