After the enchanting summer night mood and sold-out concerts at the last three editions, the classic open-air project will be entering the next round. There will be three concerts over two days on the idyllic Rhein Inseli, which can be reached from the Rheinbrücke between the two Rheinfelden.
Live music will accompany the episodic film, set in Chicago in the 1920s. Singer Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is arrested for a double murder. In prison, she encounters her biggest fan, Roxie Hart (Renée Zellweger), who shot her lover. The two plan a comeback on the stage—aided by the attractive lawyer Billy Flynn (Richard Gere). Rob Marshall's film adaptation of the 2003 musical "Chicago," with the sensual music by John Kander, won six Oscars. While the film is shown on the big screen, the City Light Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Kevin Griffiths, plays the rhythmic, crisp score—with plenty of jazz, of course!
There will be plenty of food and drink sales starting 2 hours before the concert, which will be moved inside the Bürgersaal Rheinfelden in case of bad weather.
Tickets are CHF 45-85; half price for students.
