The new programme of the Berlin Residence Concerts is all about the Anniversary Year. Following the Anniversary Concerts, "Gala Concerts with Mozart's Operas - Enchanting Melodies" represents another musical highlight. For the reopening of the Great Orangery of Charlottenburg Palace, the Berlin Residence Orchestra presents the most popular arias in renewed splendor.
The original building of Charlottenburg Palace was built in the late 17th century as a summer residence for the later Queen Sophie Charlotte, who also served as eponym. The magnificent palace complex is surrounded by an impressive baroque garden in which the New Pavilion, the Mausoleum and the Belvedere, which originally served the court as a teahouse, are located.
The park of Charlottenburg Palace measures 55 hectares. It was formerly held French-style, but converted into an English landscape garden in 1786.
Today Charlottenburg Palace is not only suited for walks and all kinds of events, but also offers a collection of architectural highlights as well as masterful paintings of the French Rococo and other jewels of the visual arts, particularly from the period of romanticism and Biedermeier.
