Metropolis (1927)

Step into Fritz Lang’s 1927 silent titan, *Metropolis*, as it is reborn on stage in a dazzling live concert experience. The program gathers the fierce vocal quintet Wishful Singing, Yonga Sun on relentless percussion and modular synthesizer, Steven Kamperman wielding bass clarinet and original composition, and Jorrit Westerhoff on electric guitar, all weaving together a futuristic score titled “Steven Kamperman – Metropolis.” Their soaring voices echo the film’s hypermodern city — a world where an elite caste thrives while the oppressed working class fuels the dystopian metropolis of 2026, a century‑old vision that once reigned as the most expensive production of its time. With spectacular sets, breathtaking special effects, and an army of extras, the epic’s legacy reverberates through modern classics like *Blade Runner* and *The Matrix*. As Kamperman delivers a glowing score previously celebrated for *Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed* by Lotte Reiniger, fans will feel the timeless heartbeat of *Metropolis* pulse through every note.
