Silvestival®
Fireworks of Music and New Circus
The Silvestival® is sponsored by its main sponsor
and its media partner
Celebrating the turn of the year with music from Handel to hip hop, with theatre and innovative circus performances, has become a Nuremberg speciality. Every two years, the “Silvestival” combines ten to twenty venues within easy walking distance in the Old Town for an unusual festival and meets with a wonderfully curious audience.
The Silvestival® – cultural fireworks – combines entertainment and ambition in a playful manner. Chamber music and world music, cabaret and musical theatre, the circus spirit and sparkling jazz link arms and relax. There are no boundaries, there is no pigeonholing, just pleasure for eyes and ears.
The astonishing creativity and quality of the Northern Bavarian culture scene takes centre stage. Here and there, guests from at home and abroad complement the overall programme. The delight for ears and hearts is supplemented by visually stunning short theatre productions walking the line between dance – projections – circus arts and melancholy-spooky comedy.
20 Show Acts
Over 20 bands, ensembles, companies, artistes, and DJs await you. So far the line-up includes: Stefan Hippe and the Nuremberg Accordeon Orchestra with French chansons, java and musette, Lizzy Aumeier and The White Lilies with their tv-proved music cabaret qualities, electro tango from Buenos Aires, expanders of horizons of the new circus, Cirque Garuda from Prague; Wallclown, who turns the world upside down, Dado with his new show etc. – The program will be completed successive.
18 Stages
The Silvestival® invites you to a cultural journey of discovery through Nuremberg’s inner city. The wintery sky is as much part of the ambiance as the elegant concert backdrop or the surprising venue. Over 10 venues between the St Catherine’s Ruin, KunstKulturQuartier, Klarissenplatz and the Aufsess Hall in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum invite you to broaden your horizons in a most original manner between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m.
The Rhythm
Take your time. The programme is structured in blocks so that during the night you can enjoy four to five programmes at a leisurely pace.
Before midnight, the same set is played three times in each location (starting at 9, 10, and 11 p.m.). You have at least 15 minutes to get from one venue to the next.
Midnight, the turn of the year, belongs to you: for chinking glasses, for watching the fireworks set off by Nuremberg’s citizens – and for waltzing into the new year in the traditional manner!
After midnight, there are a further two programme blocks: one from 0.30 to 2 a.m., and a further one from 2 to 4 p.m.
