Caligari At Caligari Platz: The doctor returns home

Caligari At Caligari Platz: The Doctor Returns Home is a breathtaking live concert film that resurrects the haunting 1920 score of Robert Wiene’s masterpiece The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Performed by the Metropolis Orchestra Berlin under the baton of Burkhard Götze, the sublime music of Giuseppe Becce—reconstructed in the 1980s and perfectly synchronized with the new 4 K Ultra HD restoration by the Murnau Foundation—fills the historic Caligariplatz where the film was first made. Accompanying the soaring performance is an intimate dialogue between Berlinale veteran Dieter Kosslick and Knut Elstermann, offering listeners insight into their personal connections to the iconic thriller, while illustrious cinema legend Armin Mueller‑Stahl proudly sponsors the project. Join us for a historic Berlin premiere that brings the ultimate pinnacle of German Expressionism to life on stage and screen.
