Zurich\, prepare for an electrifying start to 2026 as Moulin Rouge The Musical takes center stage. This Tony Award-winning production\, inspired by Baz Luhrmann's cinematic masterpiece\, delivers an explosion of artistry and acting. \n\n\n\nFor us internationals in Switzerland\, this English-language musical offers an invitation to immerse ourselves in a world of pure\, unadulterated entertainment. I still remember watching the Moulin Rouge movie for the first time - and I was truly dazzled! \n\n\n\nNow\, I’m very curious to find out whether the critics were right… They’ve touted this musical to be an exhilarating spectacle unlike any other. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Moulin Rouge The Musical\n\n\n\nMoulin Rouge The Musical is based on Baz Luhrmann's 2001 film of the same name\, starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. The story follows Christian\, a young writer who falls in love with Satine\, the star of the Moulin Rouge\, amidst the backdrop of the Montmartre district of Paris in the late 19th century. \n\n\n\nWith ten Tony Awards\, Moulin Rouge The Musical has sold out many times the world over! \n\n\n\nNow\, as it makes its Swiss debut\, Zurich's Theater 11 becomes the hottest ticket in town\, promising to unite internationals from all walks of life in a shared experience of music\, drama\, and sheer extravaganza. \n\n\n\nIn short: It will make anyone who’s not at Theater 11 feel the FOMO! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSince its release\, Moulin Rouge! has had a significant impact on pop culture. (Note the exclamation mark in the official name!) It has popularized the concept of mashup music\, blending classics and modern hits. This approach has since inspired a wave of other musicals and movies. \n\n\n\nDon't miss this opportunity to experience the magic of Moulin Rouge The Musical in Zurich. Book your tickets now\, and see you at the show! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCopyright musical.ch\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n How can I secure tickets for Moulin Rouge The Musical?For more information and to purchase tickets\, head straight to Ticketcorner.

And as with most musicals\, the front of the mezzanine/balcony section offers excellent views to appreciate the choreography. \n \n \n \n \n \n What is the recommended age for the show?The musical is recommended for audiences aged 12 and older. This is due to the mature themes and some suggestive content\, which may not be suitable for younger children. \n \n \n \n \n \n Are there any language concerns? Is it all in French?No worries! Moulin Rouge The Musical is entirely in English. But even for non-native English speakers\, the storyline is easy to follow and the music is universal. So\, regardless of your language proficiency\, the visual storytelling and iconic music allows you to sit back and follow along... \n \n \n \n \n \n What time should I arrive at Theater 11?We always recommend arriving at Theater 11 a bit early to enjoy the pre-show atmosphere. Take a moment to appreciate the venue and mingle with fellow attendees. Some may even be dressed to the occasion! \n \n \n \n \n \n Will there be a dress code?No\, there's no strict dress code for Moulin Rouge. But we can imagine that more than a few people will dress up\, adding to the excitement of the evening. So\, feel free to dress in a way that makes you feel special and part of the occasion.

Come January\, you will get a chance to catch the original English-language production of the CATS Musical in Basel. \n\n\n\nThe musical is set on a full moon night in a London junkyard. Once a year\, this is where the Jellicle cats meet for a ball. And so\, little by little\, the junkyard becomes alive with cats of all types. \n\n\n\nEach cat has a colorful personality\, such as the brave Munkustrap and the forgiveness-seeking Grizabella. Everyone is fighting for the attention of one particular cat: the magical Mr. Mistoffelees. \n\n\n\nHere's a fun fact: the songs in the CATS musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber are based on the 1939 poetry collection Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre you ready to meet the felines of the CATS Musical in Basel? 🌕🐈\n\n\n\nElectrifying dancing\, beautiful costumes\, and elaborate stage decorations are just some of the reasons for this musical's long-lasting popularity. \n\n\n\nThe CATS Musical was initially released in London's West End in May 1981. One of the chief reasons it is still being performed globally is the memorable soundtrack by Andrew Lloyd Webber (no pun intended!) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCATS is a splendid musical suitable for all ages\n\n\n\nCATS beguiles adults and children alike\, whisking audiences away to the enigmatic realm of the Jellicle Cats. The mélange of felines embody some typical human traits - from ravishing Rum Tum Tugger to lewd Macavity and heavenly Victoria. \n\n\n\nThe musical has been performed in over 30 countries to an audience of more than 73 million. By the time Grizabella hits the stage to pour her life's emotions into "Memory\," you will see why this is a timeless classic. \n\n\n\nMore information and tickets URL:https://www.newlyswissed.com/event/cats-musical-in-basel/ LOCATION:Musical Theater Basel\, Feldbergstrasse 151\, Basel\, BS\, 4057\, Switzerland CATEGORIES:Concert/Dance/Musical ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newlyswissed.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/CATS-Musical-in-Zurich-10_Feature.jpg GEO:47.568043;7.5979813 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Musical Theater Basel Feldbergstrasse 151 Basel BS 4057 Switzerland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Feldbergstrasse 151:geo:7.5979813,47.568043 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20220513T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20220529T235959 DTSTAMP:20260416T033642 CREATED:20220430T150803Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220516T135345Z UID:116264-1652400000-1653868799@www.newlyswissed.com SUMMARY:The CATS Musical in Zurich - catch it if you can!

Straight from London's West End\, we get to see a new production of Footloose - The Musical. \n\n\n\nThe immensely successful dance film is even more popular as a musical. Audiences near and far can't have enough of the story about a dance-loving teenager. When Ren MacCormack moves from Chicago to a small town\, he suddenly faces a new reality: loud music and public dancing are banned for minors. By way of throwing a giant party\, the protagonist thinks he has found a loophole in the system... It's teenage rebellion to the max! \n\n\n\nWhen Footloose (the film) was released in 1984\, it became an instant blockbuster. For months\, the songs dominated the airwaves and charts. And they are still popular today: "Holding Out for a Hero\," "Almost Paradise\," "Let's Hear It for the Boy." And\, of course\, "Footloose!" \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFootloose - The Musical at MAAG Halle in Zürich\n\n\n\nThe dancers and musical crew of the current production are simply amazing. Each dancer actually plays an instrument\, too\, therefore becoming a part of the band. The hairdos and props add to the atmosphere\, which is a sort of time tunnel into the 1980s. \n\n\n\nCopyright Footloose Musical/Matt Martin\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFootloose - The Musical is entirely held in English\, making it a perfect opportunity to go back to a live event.

For the first time in its history\, Swiss audiences will be enjoying the original English version of LES MISÉRABLES in 2020. \nThe brilliant new staging is inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo and his classic novel. Paired with its beloved melodies\, this musical has everything it takes to make our start into the new year a happy one. \nWhat you need to know about the LES MISÉRABLES Musical\nLES MISÉRABLES is the world’s longest running and most loved musical. It has garnered 100 prestigious international awards to its name. Inspired by Victor Hugo's novel\, this modern classic musical is as groundbreaking today as it was during its first premier in London in 1985. \nIt is an epic tale of redemption and passion. It is packed with an emotional wallop that continues to thrill worldwide audiences of all ages. Seen and enjoyed by over 120 million people in 52 countries and 22 languages\, LES MISÉRABLES is truly one of the world's best musicals. \nIn nineteenth century France\, Jean Valjean is an ex-convict who has been imprisoned for 19 years for stealing a bread loaf. Upon his release\, he receives mistrust and mistreatment everywhere he goes. This is until Bishop Myriel helps him to start a new life. However\, police inspector Javert hunts Valjean\, who has been living under the name Monsieur Madeleine... \nFinally\, a tragic climax. During the 1832 Paris student uprising\, Valjean spares his life to save that of the student revolutionary. The latter had captured the heart of the main character’s adopted daughter Cosette. Disgusted and horrified\, Javert commits suicide and Valjean attains the peace that he has sought for so long. \n \nAbout the original English version on tour\nWith countless hours of rehearsals between actors\, musicians and technicians\, each performance of the musical will transport you back to the France of the 19th century. The stunning Killian Donnelly is playing the lead role of Jean Valjean. Nic Greenshields will play Javert\, and gorgeous Katie Hall will be in the role of Fantine. \nYou will see Martin Ball\, Harry Apps\, Will Richardson\, Nicholas Corre\, Brian James Leys\, Ruben Van Keer\, Lee Ormsby\, and many others on stage. Other female ensembles will include Jamie Birkett\, Helen Aylott\, Mary-Jean Caldwell\, Bronwen Hanson and Megan Gardiner. The entire touring production is directed by James Powell and multi award-winner Laurence Connor. \nThe orchestra will perform operatic passages while reflecting feelings through their voices overflowing with sorrow\, joy\, and\, cries\, and giggles. The cast will perform in a way to keep every scene taut\, tense and perfectly timed. \nA musical that's all but miserable\nBasically\, what we are trying to say is that LES MISÉRABLES is sure to fill your soul with romance and throb. Cameron Mackintosh\, composer Claude-Michel Schönberg\, and musical script writer\, Alain Boublil\, have already successfully collaborated on several occasions. Among other productions\, LES MISÉRABLES and Miss Saigon went down in musical history. \nThe show is said to take approximately 2 hours 30 minutes\, including an interval. This is the original English version.. \nThe musical will take place from January 21 to February 23\, 2020. While this is still a while away\, why not secure tickets already? \nTheater 11\nThurgauerstrasse 7\n8050 Zürich\nPhone: 044 265 56 01 \n \n(Photographs copyright musical.ch) URL:https://www.newlyswissed.com/event/les-miserables-musical-zurich/ LOCATION:Theater 11 Oerlikon\, Thurgauerstrasse 7\, Zürich\, ZH\, 8050\, Switzerland CATEGORIES:Concert/Dance/Musical ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newlyswissed.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/LES-MISERABLES-Musical-02_feature.jpg GEO:47.4106844;8.549689 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Theater 11 Oerlikon Thurgauerstrasse 7 Zürich ZH 8050 Switzerland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Thurgauerstrasse 7:geo:8.549689,47.4106844 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191122 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200101 DTSTAMP:20260416T033642 CREATED:20151101T182550Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221230T071359Z UID:34531-1574380800-1577836799@www.newlyswissed.com SUMMARY:Circus Conelli is a Christmas tradition in Zürich DESCRIPTION:Update from Nov 25\, 2019: We can no longer endorse this circus.\n\n\n\nAt tonight's VIP premiere\, the host urged us to spread the word if we like the show\, but not to share anything if we did not like it. The first half of the show was nothing to write home about. It was simply average. \n\n\n\nThen\, the mayor of Zurich\, Mrs. Corine Mauch\, introduced the second half. We wonder whether she knew about the racist clown number that would follow... Picture a cowboy patronizing a dumb Native American. The cowboy goes on to whip the Native American. \n\n\n\nThe so-called "VIP audience"\, including the former head of SVP\, Christoph Blocher\, was roaring about the dumb clowns and their embarrassing jokes in Swiss-English. We felt appalled by the insensitivity of this circus and we would urge Circus Conelli to remove this act. \n\n\n\nWe live in the 21st century and we feel deeply ashamed that an insensitive\, racist clown act can be performed right in the heart of Zürich.

This will be the first time for the current production of THE KING AND I to stop in Switzerland. \nWhat you need to know about the musical THE KING AND I\nThe story takes place in Bangkok around 1860. Anna\, a British teacher\, arrives in Bangkok during these imperialistic times. She will be visiting the court of the King of Siam in order to teach his highness and the 67 children in modernist ways. But with her brave and strong-willed nature\, she turns the royal court upside down. Without giving anything away\, there will be tragedy and romance... \nThe musical is based on the novel Anna and the King of Siam. It first appeared on Broadway in 1951. One year later\, it was a hit at the box office\, winning a Tony Award for "Best Musical". \nBut its revival has been critically acclaimed as well. In 1996 and 2015\, THE KING AND I has won Tony Awards for "Best Revival". And finally\, you might remember the 1999 movie adaptation starring Jodie Foster. \nThis is the fifth musical by the Rodgers and Hammerstein team. The two have drummed up a large orchestra and 50 outstanding artists. I am very much looking forward to hearing the live performances of songs such as Shall We Dance\, Getting To Know You\, or Whistle A Happy Tune. \nAbout the original UK cast\nThe cast for this musical includes Kok-Hwa Liein in the role of Kralahome\, and Aaron Teoh as Prince Chulalongkorn. William M Lee will play Phra Alak\, and Edward Baker Duly will take on dual roles of Orton and Ramsay. \nAmong the male ensemble are Steven Hardcastle\, Prem Rai\, Joaquin Pedro Valdes\, Jesse Milligan\, Eu Jin Hwang\, and Irvine Ray Abesamis. The female ensemble includes Misa Koide\, Ela Lisondra\, Ena Yamaguchi\, Miiya Alexandra\, Yuki Abe\, and Aiko Kato. \nThis revival of THE KING AND I musical has designs by Michael Yeargan as well as light designs by Donald Holder. Scott Lehrerm provides the sound design\, and costumes were designed by Catherine Zuber. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness this spectacular musical. Unless you are planning to travel abroad\, it will never be more convenient to see it than this winter in Zürich... \nHere is what reviewers in London have said about THE KING AND I\nThe producer of the musical\, Howard Panter\, has declared that “the response from London audiences to this multi-award winning production was unexpected." In addition\, WhatsOnStage also gave the show a four-star review saying that "It’s very hard to not to fall for the King and I\, which features some of the loveliest songs in musical theatre sung by an absolutely crack cast. The songs included in the musical were Getting to Know You\, Whistle A Happy Tune\, and Shall We Dance?" \nThe musical takes approximately 3 hours including an interval. This is the original UK version in English.

In fact\, you will rarely find a pure Jazz act playing over the autumn week in which JAZZNOJAZZ lands. \nHighlights of JAZZNOJAZZ 2019\nThis year the festival comes of age\, celebrating its 21th anniversary with as eclectic line-up as ever. Buy one of the coveted day passes and you are just as likely to be watching a legendary super group as discovering a new favorite. \nWednesday\, Oct 30\, 2019\nThe opening Wednesday sees Bugge Wesseltoft return to Zurich with his new Scandanavian trio\, Rymden. Bringing dramatic build-ups and looping melodies that distort and develop\, Rymden's debut album is both tender and dramatic. \n \nExpect the same from their live show\, which is presented alongside rising UK star Ashley Henry. In contrast\, Wednesday also sees performances from Charles Lloyd\, who excels in easy listening Jazz\, and John McLaughlin\, a master of intricate guitar. \nThursday\, Oct 31\, 2019\nThe second night sees a Brazilian band with a mythical status: Amymuth will bring Latin flair with their unique fusion of Jazz\, samba and electronica. In fact\, it will be a night of performances from exotic locations\, with Cuba (Chucho Valdés and Juan de Marcos’ Afro-Cuban All Stars)\, Brazil (Azymuth) and\, errr\, Leeds (the Haggis Horns) all represented. \nBringing the buzz will be current star of the rambunctious London Jazz scene\, Kamaal Williams. \nFriday\, Nov 1\, 2019\nOn Friday\, things get acid-Jazz tinged as The Brand New Heavies and Morcheeba hit the stage. There is also treat in store with legendary Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen. \nBut probably most exciting is a first visit to Zurich for the UK's hottest act\, The Comet is Coming. With an album exuding energy and defying convention at every turn\, this show will be a highlight of the weekend for many. \nSaturday\, Nov 2\, 2019\nSaturday starts early with Erika Stucky & FM Unit playing a family concert at 4 PM. As the evening arrives\, things will get a disco vibe with 80s stalwarts Level 42\, as well as Al McKay’s Earth Wind and Fire Experience. \nFinally\, expect a party-like finale with a third and final "Late Night Sessions" performance from Haggis Horns. Or choose live favorites Lucky Chops\, whose horn section covers are the perfect way to end the week. Get ready to hoist your hands in the air for their rousing version of Adele's "Hello"! \nTickets are available for individual shows or as day-passes. Of course\, you can also go the whole-hog with a week-long pass which will leave you needing a lie-down come Sunday. \nMore information and tickets URL:https://www.newlyswissed.com/event/jazznojazz-2019/ LOCATION:Gessnerallee Zürich\, Gessnerallee 8\, Zürich\, ZH\, 8001\, Switzerland CATEGORIES:Concert/Dance/Musical ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newlyswissed.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/JAZZNOJAZZ-2019-01_feature.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="AllBlues%20Konzert%20AG":MAILTO:info@allblues.ch GEO:47.3747571;8.5347051 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Gessnerallee Zürich Gessnerallee 8 Zürich ZH 8001 Switzerland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Gessnerallee 8:geo:8.5347051,47.3747571 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191022 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20191107 DTSTAMP:20260416T033642 CREATED:20160830T134714Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190821T123334Z UID:38926-1571702400-1573084799@www.newlyswissed.com SUMMARY:Break the Tango Dance Show (Zürich) DESCRIPTION:(Photograph copyright René Tanner) \nOnce again this fall\, tango meets street dance in Zürich. \nBreak the Tango is a whirlwind of a show which is sure to heat up the MAAG Halle! The choreographer\, German Cornejo\, has recruited a dozen of the most talented tango dancers from Argentina (along with a tango band and a singer who will perform live on the stage). Bring in the best break dancers from around the globe and you have yourself a dance show for all tastes. \nOr as the organizers call it\, "an epic mix of tango\, break dance and live music." \nAre you ready to "break the tango"?\n(Photograph copyright René Tanner) \nWhen tradition meets modern times\, all the rules are broken. While the tango dancers elegantly glide across the dance floor\, the athletic break dancers create their own spectacle to songs from Adele to Otros Aires. The organizers state that "at first\, it seems like an impossible combination which blends together as the show progresses." \nWhen Break the Tango kicked off their tour in Zürich in 2016\, it sold out all the shows. After touring Europe in 2017\, the show was even performed in Bangkok in 2018. And now\, we are in for a treat yet again as the passionate dancers return to Switzerland. The young tango choreographer\, German Cornejo\, is collaborating with Switzerland born Björn Meier\, an internationally known break dancer who was in charge of said choreography in Break the Tango. \nReserve your tickets and get 20% off using the code NEWLY20\n  URL:https://www.newlyswissed.com/event/break-the-tango-zurich/ LOCATION:Lichthalle MAAG\, Hardstrasse 219\, Zürich\, ZH\, 8005\, Switzerland CATEGORIES:Concert/Dance/Musical ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newlyswissed.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Break-the-Tango-2019-01_small.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Showhouse%20AG":MAILTO:info@showhouse.ch GEO:47.3857193;8.5168517 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Lichthalle MAAG Hardstrasse 219 Zürich ZH 8005 Switzerland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Hardstrasse 219:geo:8.5168517,47.3857193 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190924 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20191007 DTSTAMP:20260416T033642 CREATED:20190820T062711Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190820T064204Z UID:95810-1569283200-1570406399@www.newlyswissed.com SUMMARY:Dublin Nights is one captivating dance show (Zürich) DESCRIPTION:Why has nobody thought of this before? This is ingenious! Think about it: Irish singer/songwriters have produced many catchy tunes. And for the first time\, real Irish dancers from Dublin will perform their own interpretation of these hits. \nMeet Dublin Nights\, a premiere for Switzerland!\nThis brand new dance show will surely bring some good vibes to Zürich. For a memorable soundscape at MAAG Halle\, a live band will perform hits by U2\, Ed Sheeran\, Ron Keating\, Van Morrison and even The Cranberries. \nAnd as for the dancers\, they are a company of up-and-coming talents - straight from Dublin\, Ireland! They have impressing resumés already\, with performances in mega shows such as Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. \n \nIn Dublin Nights\, they will showcase just how versatile Irish dance really is. I am expecting a contemporary dance show that will make my feet tap\, rather than a folklore Irish dance performance. \nAs the organizers put it: "Dublin Nights breathes new life into Irish dance. An energetic dance show straight from the Emerald Isle!" \nMore information and tickets \n \n \n(All photographs copyright MAAG MUSIC & ARTS AG) URL:https://www.newlyswissed.com/event/dublin-nights-dance-show/ LOCATION:Lichthalle MAAG\, Hardstrasse 219\, Zürich\, ZH\, 8005\, Switzerland CATEGORIES:Concert/Dance/Musical ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newlyswissed.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Dublin-Nights-Dance-Show-2019-02_feature.jpg GEO:47.3857193;8.5168517 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Lichthalle MAAG Hardstrasse 219 Zürich ZH 8005 Switzerland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Hardstrasse 219:geo:8.5168517,47.3857193 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190829 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190902 DTSTAMP:20260416T033642 CREATED:20190808T070118Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190808T070309Z UID:95505-1567036800-1567382399@www.newlyswissed.com SUMMARY:Why Blues to Bop is Lugano’s musical event of 2019 DESCRIPTION:Every September\, Lugano's typically quiet piazzas echo for three nights with the joyfully raucous sounds of blues\, gospel\, and honky-tonk music. \nBlues to Bop is an all too well-kept secret and\, in this author’s humble opinion\, one of the best annual music events in Switzerland. (I’m looking at you\, Montreux.) The premise is simple: the festival hosts artists from a wide range of sub-genres - from blues to bop\, toe-tapping boogie-woogie\, head-banging electric blues\, hand-waving gospel anthems\, and slow-dancing sax solos... \nThey've got it all at Blues to Bop in Lugano.\nIt is one of the only festivals in all of Europe dedicated to these genres. The artists come from all over the USA and Europe. A few mainstays like boogie-woogie piano star David Keys return nearly every year. Past musicians have included Popa Chubby\, a hard rocking blues guitar god. Or Roy Roberts who plays soulful\, expressive R’n’B. \nEvery night\, the artists take turns playing around the city on four different stages set in each of the squares. The events culminate in a Saturday night extravaganza on the main stage in Piazza Riforma. The atmosphere varies by stage; some have a quietly attentive audience who are carefully watching master musicians play their music. Others have a party atmosphere full of dancing\, clapping\, and singing along. \n \nAll of these genres are challenging to play and it is a real pleasure to watch these old masters and young re-inventors of genres that do not typically get airtime. It is definitely refreshing to see real instruments in a world of electronic music. \nLike to dance? Nothing gets the feet tapping like honky-tonk! And the best place to dance all night long is right in front of the main stage in Piazza Riforma. \nWhy I love Blues to Bop\nBetween the incredible music\, the beautiful setting and the invested audience\, Blues to Bop is genuinely my favorite music event of the year. It is a perfect way to dance the summer away. The atmosphere is congenial and laid back; you can even chat with the artists after their sets! There is no pretension or pressure here\, just four nights of great music\, a pleasant\, engaged audience\, and a stunning venue. \nIt's a rollicking good time\, and the best part - it’s free! \nMore information\nThe festival runs from August 29 through September 1 in Lugano and nearby Morcote. But if you can only come for one day\, then Saturday night is the one to go for. That night\, expect a multi-artist freestyle jam session on the main stage in Piazza Riforma! It is a truly spectacular show for anyone who loves these genres. \nFull program and artist list URL:https://www.newlyswissed.com/event/why-blues-to-bop-is-luganos-musical-event-of-2019/ LOCATION:Lugano (Various Locations)\, Lugano\, TI\, 6900\, Switzerland CATEGORIES:Concert/Dance/Musical ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.newlyswissed.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Blues-to-Bop-Lugano-02_feature.jpg GEO:46.009366;8.9507851 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190612 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190617 DTSTAMP:20260416T033642 CREATED:20190130T141654Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190214T074341Z UID:89532-1560297600-1560729599@www.newlyswissed.com SUMMARY:Cirque du Soleil’s “TORUK” is coming to Zürich in 2019 DESCRIPTION:You might have heard of Avatar\, the Blockbuster film by James Cameron? \nSurely\, the mystical fantasy world of Pandora has not escaped you in the decade since the release of Avatar? This year\, the creative minds of Cirque du Soleil will be recreating this world as part of their latest performance which is set 1000 years before the movie Avatar. (In other words\, this is a time before anyone has ever set foot in this world.) \nWhat is TORUK – The First Flight all about?\nInnovative stage displays\, puppet theaters and cinematic projections: TORUK - The First Flight is going to take us on an epic journey to the imaginary world inspired by James Cameron. It will be an odyssey across Pandora\, this world of imagination\, discovery and infinite possibilities. \n \nWe will also be meeting the inhabitants of Pandora\, the iconic blue Na'vi. We will be marveling at their nature and their belief that all living things are ultimately connected. But soon\, this innocent world will be threatened by a catastrophe. \nTwo young inhabitants take matters into their own hands as they seek out Toruk\, the bird-like God of the Sky. Their quest takes them high up into the floating mountains where they ultimately meet Torum... \nThe two hour performance will be narrated by a native Na'vi storyteller in English\, and there will be German subtitles. \nReserve your tickets at Ticketcorner!

For one\, there will be a multimedia installation exploring the role of Beethoven's music in contemporary media. \nThe resident orchestra will perform two of Beethoven's odd symphonies inside the gorgeous concert hall of the LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura. \nAnd as a grand finale\, there will be an outdoor concert at Piazzia Luini in front of the lakeside museum.

On two nights this June\, they will perform works by Ludwig Van Beethoven as part of this festival. \nFriday\, June 7\, 8:30 PM\nThe Symphony No. 1 in C major\, Op. 21\, was dedicated to an early patron of Beethoven. \nSaturday\, June 8\, 8:30 PM\nThe Symphony No. 3 in E major\, Op. 55\, is one of Beethoven’s most celebrated works. \nSunday\, June 9\, 9:00 PM\nAn outdoor concert of Symphony No. 9 which is open to the public at no charge. \nWe are very excited to finally enjoy a symphony orchestra in the gorgeous concert hall of the LAC Lugano! \nA collaboration among Lugano five-star hotels and the LAC Lugano\nThis music festival is a collaboration among Lugano's five-star hotels.

The Music. The Show. (Zürich) DESCRIPTION:Be among the first to know about Hugh Jackman's world tour - and snag a much prized ticket! \nKnown for his stellar performances in Les Misérables or Oklahoma!\, this star from Down Under is going on a world tour in 2019. From arenas in Amsterdam and London to Boston and Los Angeles\, we are stoked that Jackman has decided to swing by Zürich's Hallenstadion on May 19\, 2019. (That's one month before the tour will land in North America!) \nWhat to expect from Hugh Jackman - The Man. The Music. The Show.\nWhy is Hugh Jackman so compelling? I think the answer lies in his talent and variety of skills. For one\, he is an exceptional Broadway musical performer as demonstrated over and over in plays such as The Boy From Oz. \nIf this were not enough\, the Aussie is also a stellar actor. Jackman is probably best known for his role as the metal claw wielding Wolverine in the X-Men franchise\, but I also like his role in Prisoners or The Prestige. \nFor his world tour\, Hugh Jackman - The Man. The Music. The Show.\, he will be joined by a 26-piece orchestra as well as about 30 dancers and singers. Right there on stage at the Hallenstadion in Zürich\, he will be tapping into his collection of award winning Broadway classics and songs from recent blockbusters such as The Greatest Showman. \nThis will not be Hugh Jackman's first visit to Zürich. Here's proof that we've spotted him here before:\n \nTickets go on sale beginning Friday\, Dec 7. Tickets will be available in Europe and the UK at 9 AM local time and in North America at 10 AM local time.

The movie Fame was released in 1980 and has become a pop-culture phenomenon since. You might remember the opening scene which takes us into the audition hall for a spot at the prestigious High School for the Performing Arts. \nThere\, an eclectic group of students are about to audition to fulfill the dream of their lives. What all the students have in common is their talent for music\, drama and dance. But their characters could not be any more diverse\, as we would find out during the plot of Fame - The Musical\, spanning four years at said high school. \nThe international sensation "Fame - The Musical" in Zürich\nThere is Carmen\, the ambitious Latina who so desperately wants to be famous. Or there is the character of talented dancer Tyrone\, a dyslexic.

We will get up close and personal with them as they work through their struggles\, conquer their fears and celebrate their triumphs. \nIt will be a bumpy road to "Fame"\, that's for sure.
