Fireworks and Classical Music Open-Air
Come and join in on one of the biggest and most colourful picnics in the entire district! Every summer, the Britzer Garden in Berlin hosts a spectacular evening filled with classical music and festive fireworks, known as the Feuerblumen und Klassik Open-Air.
Fireworks and classical music in one unforgettable evening
Picture yourself, family, children and friends, all gathered together eating a delicious picnic under the warm, summer sky in one of the city’s, if not Germany's, most beautiful parks.
A cultural highlight on the summer agenda, the Britzer Garden has been organising stunning open-air performances since 1999, bringing the best of live classical music, local food and fireworks together under a starry sky.
Carnival of Romance at Britzer Garten
This year’s event, under the direction of Risto Joost, will be staged by the Czech Brno Philharmonic Orchestra and transports viewers to a carnival of romance. The popular motif of the masked ball, the masquerade and the deception surrounding such dances is the main theme of the musical selection for the evening.
Expect to hear pieces from Jacques Offenbach's "Orpheus in the Underworld", "The Tales of Hoffmann" and Hector Berlioz's "La Carnaval Romain". In addition to the world-class sounds of the Philharmonic Brno, soloist Patricia Janecková is sure to stir up some emotions on stage.
The grand finale, the firework display, will be accompanied by music by Georg Friedrich Händel. Filling the sky around the stage and over the lake behind, the flames and lights delight thousands of visitors every year.
