The Sound of James Bond

Title songs and excerpts from the soundtracks of »Love Greetings from Moscow«, »Goldfinger«, »Fireball«, »You Only Live Twice«, »Diamond Fever«, »Live and Let Die«, »Golden Eye«, »Casino Royale«, »Skyfall«, »No Time to Die« and others

The actors may change, but the digits 007 have stood for British coolness, cult and thrills for over six decades. Everything about the recipe for success »James Bond« is just right: strong women, fast cars, spectacular stunts and breathtaking chases. In 25 films, the notorious MI6 agent has managed to save mankind from the most menacing villains in the world's most exotic locations and seduce the most exciting women along the way –, always with style, charm and a shaken, never stirred martini.

Just as unmistakable as James Bond himself is the music that has accompanied him since the beginning. First and foremost the legendary theme tune –, a classic among film music intros, which always provides the perfect sound backdrop in the casino or during breathtaking stunts. And just like the licence to kill, a new theme song is part of every 007 adventure, with film music greats such as John Barry, David Arnold and Hans Zimmer responsible for these immortal soundtracks. The biggest stars in music history have shaped the catalogue of iconic Bond songs, including Shirley Bassey, Louis Armstrong, Nancy Sinatra, Tina Turner, Tom Jones and Adele.

After the successful concerts of recent years, the music of 007 comes to life again in the concert hall. Presented live by a large symphony orchestra, a band and enhanced by two outstanding voices: the South African singer Tertia Botha, who impresses with her versatility and energetic presence, and the US singer Dennis LeGree, known from »The Voice of Germany«, whose distinctive soul and gospel voice provides unrivalled goosebump moments. Together they lend the Bond songs their full radiance.

The evening will be hosted by Dietmar Wunder: for many years, he has lent his unique voice to Daniel Craig as a dubbing actor and thus characterised him for German-speaking audiences. With charm, humour and exciting anecdotes from the world of 007, he will guide the audience through the programme and combine the music with stories that will not only bring a smile to the faces of Bond fans.
