Munich Radio Orchestra accompanies the Opening Ceremony with their music
More then 300 participants offered about 11000 spectators a breathtaking show on the two show stages. The Munich Radio Orchestra accompanied the opening ceremony with live music. Martin Lingnau was the composer of the total original music. The musical highlights were the performances of Christina Stürmer, the Spider Murphy Gang and Adoro. The Austrian ski-star Elisabeth Goergl and Christian Geisler sang the official WM-song "You're the Hero (between Heaven and Hell) for the first time live.
„Rosenkavalier" and „Momo" - important elements of the programme
The culture is in Garmisch Partenkirchen - the village, in which the composer Richard Strauss lived and where the poet Michael Ende was born - a high value. The „Rosenkavalier" from Strauss played an important role at the opening ceremony. Just as the fairytale figure „Momo" from Michael Ende. The show was translated by the berlin agency „dreinull" in conjunction with battle ROYAL and florafaunavisions. The costume designs were from Ameli Neureuther.
