A Christmas Concert
Christmas is approaching. A perfect opportunity to venture into the musical highs and lows. At the NO, however, the focus is not on the birth of a baby, but on the deaths of three pop icons, all of whom passed away 10 years ago: Prince, George Michael and David Bowie.

Three exceptional artists, three evenings, three tributes – led by the musicians LEGION SEVEN, Sarah Taylor Ellis and Niko Meinhold.
A Christmas musical treat for all those who love – or even hate – the Christmas hustle and bustle.
Together with the string players of the Naked String Quartet, Sarah Taylor Ellis and the music performer Mara Snip (1000 AIRPLANES ON THE ROOF) dive into the album *Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1* and eerie, schmaltzy super-hits like ‘Careless Whisper’. And right in the middle of it all, a songwriter who was far more sophisticated and political than the Christmas playlist would suggest. A pop star who, of all days, died on the very day his most famous song is playing everywhere: Dark Christmas, I gave you my heart!
