Christmas classic with goosebumps: Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella as a film concert

A shimmering curtain of strings, the fairy tale on the big screen, the theatrical atmosphere of Freiheitshalle: When the Hofer Symphoniker play Karel Svoboda's theme melodies live, the cult film becomes a stage experience for the whole family. Just before Christmas Eve, the wintry romantic mood unfolds in sound colors that you won't forget.

A film that enchants generations

Since its premiere in the 1970s, the Czechoslovak-German production has become part of the ritualized holidays. Václav Vorlíček's direction shows a headstrong heroine who shapes her own fate - a narrative impulse that still touches the audience today. Audience reaction: shining eyes, collective sighs, spontaneous applause after the credits.

Live symphony synchronized to the screen

The Hofer Symphoniker play the film music by Karel Svoboda meticulously synchronized to the action - every fanfare motif, every lyrical woodwind shimmer is spot on. This precision of music synchronization enhances the film's drama and rhythm: chase scenes gain momentum, ballroom scenes glow in warm string light, intimate moments breathe. Thus, film and concert merge into an immersive stage setting of sound and image.

Sound, light, space: Sensuous impressions

In the Großer Haus, the acoustics unfold their broad breath: springy horns, silky conducted violins, a well-measured percussion section. The light draws wintry blue shades, while the big screen evokes snow landscapes. Costume colors and orchestral colors respond to each other - a detailed interplay of projection direction, orchestra setup, and scenic effect.

Context and quality

The music comes from the pen of Karel Svoboda, whose themes have long become part of the collective memory of the Christmas season. The film was produced as a co-production between DEFA and Barrandov Studios, featuring Libuše Šafránková and Pavel Trávníček - a classic that culture press and fans celebrate anew year after year. In Hof, this tradition is translated into a contemporary concert experience.
