Sold Out: Live Performance by the Helicopter String Quartet

The Helicopter String Quartet expands the musical space far beyond the opera house. Be there when the string quartet takes off. The scale of the production is enormous and extraordinary. You’ll experience four helicopters, four musicians, four pilots, and complex sound and visual technology. In the Helicopter String Quartet, Stockhausen’s bold dreams come true. Here, music truly takes flight.

The Helicopter String Quartet forms the centerpiece of *Wednesday of Light*. Of course, four helicopters cannot take off from the auditorium of the Deutsche Oper. But they will take off. Two weeks before the premiere of *Wednesday of Light*, four musicians in four helicopters will take off from Schönhagen Airfield in Brandenburg. The flight and the musicians will be filmed, and the footage will later become part of the production.

Important note: The event at Schönhagen Airfield is sold out

As an alternative, we’re offering a live public viewing in the foyer of the Deutsche Oper.
