Programme
Overview

Passion, lies, sex and lots of jazz. Experience the Oscar-winning musical film "Chicago" live at the KKL Luzern!

"Chicago" started as a sensational crime reportage in the 1920s. Young women murdered their lovers and despite all the evidence pointing against them, shrewd defense attorneys managed to obtain acquittals - from all-male juries...

The material was then adapted for theater and musical stages and also filmed. In 2002, director Rob Marshall and an all-star cast led by Renée Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Gere, Queen Latifah and John C. Reilly dared to remake the musical, which went on to win six Oscars, including Best Picture. and Best Actress (Zeta-Jones).

"Chicago" shines with crisp and spirited jazz from Chicago in the 1920s. Kander's songs are exuberant, dynamic and rich in distinctive personality - from And All That Jazz to Cell Block Tango to Razzle Dazzle and I Move On. Their authenticity to Chicago jazz in tone and timbre, especially through the use of wild brass, is remarkable in every number.

The bitter-sweet to black humor in the lyrics adds to the fun. There is also film music by Hollywood composer Danny Elfman, which fits seamlessly into the musical events. Experience this masterful musical adaptation in new splendor.

While the film is shown on the big screen and the original singing of the star ensemble sounds, the City Light Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kevin Griffiths, plays the rhythmic, crisp film music - with lots of jazz, of course!

Film in English, with German subtitles.

Venue Info

KKL Luzern - Lucerne
Location   Europaplatz 1

KKL Luzern’s spectacular architecture designed by Pritzker Prize winner Jean Nouvel and the quality of its facilities set this venue apart from more traditional culture and convention centres. Its trade-mark is the common theme of culture, conferences and culinary choices – the complete experience orchestrated under the famous roof. The building is situated in the heart of Switzerland, only one hour by train from Zurich Airport, within walking distance of Lucerne’s finest hotels and a few sheltered steps from the international railway station. It is the perfect venue for your next premium event, such as product launches, anniversary celebrations and award ceremonies, high-profile meetings, receptions and banquets.

Concert Hall
The showpiece of the KKL Luzern is its renowned Concert Hall with 1,898 seats and acoustics that provide incredible sound and inspire the world’s leading conductors, orchestras and soloists to perform at their best.

Conventions
The outstanding Concert Hall with its multifunctional usage, is also an exciting possibility for conventions. A wide screen is hidden above the stage and may be lowered for awards, product presentations and other events. Interpreting booths and excellent infrastructure are at hand for a most memorable convention or meeting or live television broadcast.

Two water canals frame the Lucerne Hall, a venue that is also unique in its adaptability and convertible for 200 up to 1,800 guests. It can be used for a variety of settings including product presentations, congresses, concerts and banquets. With its appropriate audiovisual facilities, variable height staging and mobile rostrum, all combined with the deliberately simple design of the hall, the organizer will find creative freedom to style the event.

The Auditorium for up to 271 listeners, too, is equipped with state-of-the-art congress installations and, like the Lucerne Hall, provides an attractive setting for conferences. Event organizers are also increasingly discovering the Crystal Lounge, the attractive meeting point in the KKL Luzern. It boasts an oval-shaped bar that can be moved around the space, allowing for maximum flexibility and turning the lounge into a premier events venue.

Culinary experiences
The cuisine facilities of the KKL Luzern offer organizers and guests all kinds of catering options and total culinary experiences. Packages and offers – such as refreshing time-outs, cocktail receptions for networking, stand-up lunches, seated dinners or exclusive lounge experiences – can be tailored to the organizer’s specific needs.
