The Sound of James Bond - Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra

The actors may change, but the number 007 has stood for British coolness, cult, and thrill for over six decades. Everything about the "James Bond" success formula is right: strong women, fast cars, spectacular stunts, and breathtaking chases. In 25 films, the infamous MI6 agent has managed to save humanity from the most dangerous villains in the most exotic locations around the world, while also seducing the most exciting women – always with style, charm, and a shaken, not stirred martini.

Equally unmistakable as James Bond himself is the music that has accompanied him since the beginning. Foremost is the legendary theme song – a classic among film music intros, providing the perfect sound backdrop in casinos or during breathtaking stunts. And just like the license to kill, a new title song is part of every 007 adventure. The timeless soundtracks were created by film music giants such as John Barry, David Arnold, and Hans Zimmer. The greatest stars in music history have shaped the catalog 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 once again in the concert hall. Live, presented by a large symphony orchestra, a band, and enhanced by two outstanding voices: South African singer Tertia Botha, who impresses with her versatility and energetic presence, and American singer Dennis LeGree, known among other things from "The Voice of Germany," whose distinctive soul and gospel voice creates unparalleled goosebump moments. Together, they bring the Bond songs to full brilliance.

The evening is hosted by Dietmar Wunder: For many years, he has lent his unique voice to Daniel Craig as a voice actor, shaping him for the German-speaking audience. With charm, humor, and exciting anecdotes from the world of 007, he guides the program as a moderator, connecting the music with stories that bring a smile to the faces of not only Bond fans.

Time to put on the tuxedo...
