Alte Oper Nights - Urban Vibe Festival

Alte Oper Nights – Urban Vibe Festival brings the electric heart of Frankfurt to the big screen, turning the historic Alte Oper into a pulsating stage where music genres collide and boundaries disappear. This immersive concert film showcases an eclectic lineup that ranges from the lush sounds of the Cello Octet Amsterdam to the soaring saxophone lines of the Saxophonquartett, the soulful trumpet of Kinan Azmeh, the crystalline reels of clarinetist Klarinette Repercussion, the experimental beats of electronic bassist Bartolomey Bittmann, the heartfelt vocals of Sorvina Gesang, the dynamic brassy moments of Martynas Levickis, and the unmistakable accordion textures of Akkordeon sonic.art. Dive into the fresh “Alte Oper Nights” program, a curated mix of unorthodox collaborations, genre‑blending encounters, and live performances that redefine what a night at the opera can be. Highlights include the Repercussion ensemble’s expansive electronic soundscape, electric bassist Kinga Głyk’s seamless fusion of jazz, rock, blues, and funk, and a special segment featuring silent film coupled with live music — an experience launched by the Hertie Foundation through engaging talks and interactive sessions. The film also celebrates Frankfurt’s cosmopolitan spirit with a screening of the classic “Berlin – Die Sinfonie der Großstadt” (Berlin – Symphony of a Metropolis), bringing a nostalgic yet forward‑looking soundtrack to the visual feast. Whether you’re a long‑time classical aficionado or a passionate fan of contemporary sound, Alte Oper Nights delivers a dazzling, accessible, and boundary‑pushing spectacle that captures the vibrant energy of Frankfurt’s urban pulse. Enjoy the fusion, feel the rhythms, and let the city’s music sweep you away.
