The Christmas classic on the big screen
Who doesn’t know the theme song of the Christmas classic Three Wishes for Cinderella? For over 50 years, the fairy-tale heroine has been riding dreamily on her white horse Nikolaus through snowy landscapes, enchanting generations of viewers. Cinderella takes her fate into her own hands, fights for her happiness, and shows the prince, right at their first encounter in the forest, with certainty which way to go. Headstrong and with her heart in the right place – that is what makes the film so special to this day.
Since its first broadcast in 1973, this lighthearted fairy-tale film, with its snowy scenery and wintery romantic atmosphere, has become an inseparable part of the Christmas season. This cinematic Christmas miracle came about thanks to curious circumstances: the original script envisioned Cinderella walking across “blooming meadows”; but since the studios of this Czech-German co-production were already booked for the summer, director Václav Vorlíček simply moved the story into winter.

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.
