Two clever rascals with pointy hats and cheerful grins tiptoe inquisitively onto the stage. They are the Pulcinelli! They rub their eyes and blink into the dark morning; today the sun simply refuses to rise. But the Pulcinelli are inventive. Together with the audience and the Berliner Philharmoniker under the baton of Kirill Petrenko, they set off in search of the sun and will let nothing hold them back. The music of Igor Stravinsky leaves everyone in awe: cheeky violins, impish trumpets, and melodies that at first sound ancient, only to suddenly turn a somersault. A concert full of surprises and youthful exuberance - music that invites young and old alike to join in.
