Frankfurt am Main
When trumpets and timpani spread festive splendor, oboes launch into virtuosic dialogues, and Nordic string sounds paint wintry images, a musical journey through the Christmas season begins. “Christmas all over the World” brings the hr Symphony Orchestra to the stage of the Alte Oper Frankfurt with a varied program for children, adults, and all generations. Fairytale-like classical music meets instrumental Italian opera music, baroque sonic splendor, and dreamy film music. Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker” is also among the concert’s familiar melodies. The finale becomes a special shared experience: the audience then sings Christmas carols and, together with the orchestra, turns the Great Hall into a many-voiced choir. In this way, the Christmas concert combines symphonic richness of sound with a warm, relaxed atmosphere and makes classical music immediately accessible even for young concertgoers.
Sixteen years ago, a special concert concept caused great enthusiasm among In Extremo fans. Under the title "Tranquilo", the band presented their songs for the first time in unusually quiet, acoustic arrangements, showing a completely different side to their work. The response was overwhelming, and since then many fans have wanted a continuation of this unusual format. Now the time has finally come. With "Tranquilo II", In Extremo are going on another acoustic tour. Sixteen years after the first chapter, a lot has happened. New albums have been released, numerous songs have found their way into the repertoire, and many of them are crying out to be brought to life in a new, acoustic guise. The fact that the band is taking this step fits in perfectly with their self-image. In Extremo have always been particularly keen to experiment and have earned a reputation for constantly surprising their fans with unusual concert ideas and special venues. From the early days at medieval markets to major festival and arena shows around the globe, they have proven time and again that they see musical boundaries not as a restriction, but as an invitation. "Tranquilo II" continues this tradition consistently. The tour will deliberately take place in selected, particularly atmospheric venues, including some of the most beautiful concert halls in German-speaking countries. Instead of large stages and pyrotechnical spectacles, this time the focus will be on atmosphere, closeness and musical subtleties. The audience can look forward to very special, intimate evenings.

When the energy of rock fuses with the power of classical music, something extraordinary is created - and this is exactly what MONO INC. have stood for with their acclaimed symphonic concerts for years. After two completely sold-out tours in 2019 and 2024, the Hamburg quartet will return to the stage in 2027 with an exceptional orchestral program.

With three #1 albums in a row, the band has long been one of the most successful rock acts in the country.

The Symphonic Tour 2027 will once again take MONO INC. to selected, extraordinary venues in Germany and Switzerland. An evening without an opening act, all about gripping soundscapes, emotional intensity and that special connection between band and audience that makes these concerts so unique. An epic returns
