UNESCO City of Music: concert summer par excellence
In
2017, the “UNESCO City of Music” label could really be interpreted as
“concert capital”, as virtually all national and international
superstars will make their way to the city on the River Leine this year. Open-air
concerts
at the HDI Arena and Parkbühne are sure to attract huge
crowds of rock and pop fans. Robbie Williams, Coldplay, Depeche Mode,
Guns N´Roses and Helene Fischer are just some of the star line-up that
Hannover has to offer in 2017. The “Fête
de la Musique
”, meanwhile one of the largest music festivals in the
world, always takes place at the start of summer, on the longest day and
shortest night of the year. People in Paris, San Francisco, New York and
London, and of course, in Hannover, perform outside and for free on 21
June.
The next two open-air events cannot fail to appeal to classical music lovers and picnic fans: the 4th NDR Klassik Open Air will present Giuseppe Verdi’s opera "Rigoletto" in Maschpark behind the New Town Hall on 22 July, and Hannover Chopin Society will stage its classical open-air concert in Georgengarten in front of the Wilhelm Busch Museum in late summer.
Sporting spills and thrills
“ProAm
Hannover – Die Nacht; Dein Tag
” – or The Night, Your Day – is the
title of Hannover’s new cycling race weekend when anyone can take part
or cheer on the cyclists from the sidelines. On 29 and 30 July 2017, the
capital of Lower Saxony offers the perfect entertainment for all cycling
enthusiasts. One week after the final of the Tour de France, the stars
of the cycling world will compete in the “Nacht von Hannover”, the
cycling race classic in front of the New Town Hall. And just a few hours
later, amateur cyclists can test their prowess in the very first “ProAm
– Dein Tag” on a 69 or 113-kilometre long course around Hannover Region.
The well-known HAJ
Hannover Marathon
will take place on 9 April 2017 and will take the
roughly 20,000 runners on a course around the most beautiful places in
the city.
Parties and festivals
Tradition meets modern at the world’s
largest Marksmen’s
Fair
(30 June – 9 July 2017), when hundreds of thousands of visitors
enjoy a carefree time on the carousels, in the beer tents and admiring
the traditional Marksmen’s Parade through the city centre. Maschsee
Lake Festival
(2-20 August 2017) is the largest funfair in Lower
Saxony and boasts a unique maritime atmosphere right in the heart of the
city. It lasts for a whole 19 days and features highly diverse
attractions, such as new maritime restaurants, live music and kids’
entertainment, sporting events and a huge range of culinary treats, all
located on the shores of Hannover’s very own lake. Music, fireworks and
join-in activities for kids are all on the agenda of the Festival
Weekend
from 25 to 27 august on the northern and southern shores of
Lake Steinhude.
Art and culture at its best
The city’s
Opera House
, Playhouse and numerous theatres are also staging
first-rate performances that are guaranteed to captivate audiences.
Hannover’s opera ball issues this year’s invitation to the dance under
the motto “Hello Vienna” on 24 and 25 February 2017. The Easter Dance
Festival will once again transform Hannover into a metropolis of dance
and later in the year, the TANZtheater INTERNATIONAL Festival in
September will present first-class contemporary dance from all over the
world. During the THEATERFORMEN Festival from 8 to 18 June 2017, more
than 100 events will perform contemporary drama on stages all over the
city.
… and in Herrenhausen Gardens
The world-famous Herrenhausen
Gardens
, which won the title of Best Historic Garden in Europe in
2015, offer a fantastic setting for flagship cultural events: between 5
and 21 May, the baroque gardens will provide the perfect backdrop for
the arts festival KunstFestSpiele
Herrenhausen
. In 2017, the festival will be directed for the second
time by conductor Ingo Metzmacher. Expert pyrotechnic teams from the UK,
Poland, the USA, Spain and Austria will create a sensation at the 27th International
Fireworks Competition
on five evenings between May and September,
filling the evening skies with explosive works of art made up of light
and music.
