Love Actually
Film in English with German subtitles
Age restriction: FSK 6. Legal admission regulations for minors apply.
The film classic Love Actually by Richard Curtis puts audiences in a wonderfully romantic mood just in time for the holidays. No wonder, as this episodic film explores the most beautiful of all feelings ten times over. In the interwoven stories, people fall in love, experience heartbreak, begin romantic adventures, or find their life partner. Some scenes have become legendary and even cult classics.
The film features countless stars, including Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Rowan Atkinson, Alan Rickman, Claudia Schiffer, Heike Makatsch, and Keira Knightley. Music also plays a central role, with many famous songs such as Christmas Is All Around, All You Need Is Love, and Jump (For My Love). The romantic score was composed by the award-winning film composer Craig Armstrong.
This year, the emotional holiday film can again be experienced with live accompaniment: the Prague Royal Philharmonic performs the film music in the Isarphilharmonie, perfectly timed to the action on screen.

Isarphilharmonie
Munich’s most modern concert hall
Since the Isarphilharmonie opened in October 2021, it has quickly gained a reputation for its special atmosphere and excellent sound. The list of orchestras performing here reads like a veritable Who’s Who, headed by the Munich Philharmonic, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Munich Chamber Orchestra. High profile concert agencies see the auditorium as the perfect place for guest appearances by national and international orchestras and it also hosts jazz productions and large-scale popular music concerts of all genres.
But the Isarphilharmonie also has another string to its bow: it can be blacked out, making it the ideal venue for film screenings – with or without orchestral accompaniment. The auditorium is equipped with a large screen and top-class cinematic sound systems.
Architecture & acoustics
The building that houses the Isarphilharmonie is a steel structure with an internal volume of nearly 60,000 cubic metres. The concert hall itself can accommodate almost 2000 guests and is made from prefabricated solid wood elements. The walls are clad with black-stained softwood panels, while the stage and floors are made from light cedar wood for a striking contrast. The Isarphilharmonie at Gasteig HP8 was built by the general contractor NÜSSLI to the plans of architects gmp – Gerkan, Marg und Partner.
The Isarphilharmonie acoustics were created by Nagata Acoustics International – the team led by star acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota – who were also involved with the construction of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and the Philharmonie de Paris.
