Press realease
Record attendance for Waldbuehne Berlin
More than 200.000 visitors in 2011 season / Focus on pop, rock and
classical music / First highlights announced for 2012.
Berlin, 19 October 2011. This year's season turned out to be a
record-breaking summer for Berlin's Waldbuehne: More than 200.000 visitors
enjoyed the varied choice of events at Eu-rope's most beautiful Open Air
venue.
In predominantly good weather, the entirely renovated and recently enlarged
450 m² stage in picturesque Murellenschlucht hosted an impressive line-up
of stars from the world of rock and pop, classical music, dance and comedy.
Apart from the Kings of Leon's only show in Germany, this year's rock music
highlights included concerts by Peter Maffay, Joe Cocker and the Eagles.
Fans of classical music were treated to five outstanding events at the
Waldbuehne in 2011. Violinist David Garrett, the Berlin Philharmonic
Orchestra, the joint appearance of vocal virtuosos Anna Netrebko, Erwin
Schrott and Jonas Kaufmann, and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra conducted
by Daniel Barenboim met with the enthusiasm of audiences and crit-ics
alike. The season ended with the very first performance of a complete opera
- Dido & Aeneas, staged by star-choreographer Sascha Waltz.
CTS EVENTIM AG, who assumed operation of the Waldbuehne in early 2009,
express their satisfaction. Rainer Appel, CTS EVENTIM Vice President: 'We
have always had faith in the Waldbuehne's potential. The fantastic 2011
season proves that our decision in favor of this unique venue was a
thoroughly good one. Since we took over there has been a steady upward
trend. Our thanks go to all artists and promoters who choose the Waldbuehne
as a venue, but above all to the people who attend the shows. They can look
forward to another marvelous range of events in 2012'. Next season's
highlights will include Die Ãrzte who are going to finish their 'Das Ende
ist noch nicht vorbei' ('The end isn't over yet') tour with three concerts
at the Waldbuehne (on August 17th, 18th and 19th, 2012), and Dieter Thomas
Kuhn, whose Waldbuehne parties have definitely reached cult status (August
25, 2012).
