Wagner
Wilhelm Richard Wagner was a German composer, theatre director, essayist, and conductor, best known for his operas, although his mature works are often referred to as music dramas. Unlike most composers, Wagner wrote both the libretti and the music for all of his stage works. He first achieved recognition with works in the Romantic tradition of Carl Maria von Weber and Giacomo Meyerbeer, but revolutionised the genre through his concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk, which sought to unite poetic, musical, visual, and dramatic elements. In this approach, the drama unfolds as a continuously sung narrative, with the music evolving organically from the text rather than alternating between arias and recitatives. Wagner outlined these ideas in a series of essays published between 1849 and 1852, most fully realising them in the first half of his four-opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen.

Prayers For Rain – The Cure Coverband
The Cure remain inseparably linked to the unmistakable voice of their mastermind Robert Smith. Nevertheless, one must listen twice to the frontman of the Hanover-based cover band 'Prayers For Rain' to avoid any misunderstanding – so close is the resemblance to the original. Anyone who attended last year's final concert will surely confirm this. Names are, after all, just sound and smoke – and the latter will swirl abundantly across the stage when the unforgettable hits of this cult band, which have delighted generations of fans worldwide for decades, echo through the venue. Prayers For Rain are considered by their former audience to be the best Cure cover band in Europe – and they rightly hold this title. Singer Lukas's vocal timbre alone can effortlessly match the original. Yet also the other musicians of the band, founded 25 years ago, seem to effortlessly meet their audience's expectations. Close your eyes and savor this unique synergy of catchy melodies, infectious beats, and ethereal vocals – moments that give you the feeling of standing at a real Cure concert. Songs like 'Boys Don't Cry', 'Just Like Heaven', 'Close To Me', and 'Lovesong' are just a small selection from the extensive repertoire of this cover formation, which has earned great affection in scene clubs and festivals through dedication and authenticity. Following the live concert, the 'Friday I’m in Love Party' takes place. The concert ticket also grants access to the After-Show Party.
