Overview

“The Soldier’s Tale”
A tale of money and power, music, and the soul (in German)

A poor soldier who wants to return to his homeland after three years in the regiment meets a peculiar stranger – the devil, who suggests striking a bargain. If the soldier will hand over his violin, the devil will give him a magic book containing the key to immeasurable wealth. The soldier cannot resist this temptation (or the tempter) and agrees to the deal. But when he arrives at home, suddenly everything is different. No one knows him anymore, and his bride has long since married someone else. He does indeed become a wealthy merchant, but he is not happy, because he has also sold his soul along with the violin… Three actors and an ensemble of the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ALUMNI will recount The Soldier’s Tale. Igor Stravinsky composed a burlesque score to this old Russian fairy tale, which was fashioned into a libretto by the Swiss poet Charles Ramuz. He uses folk songs, chorales, and such dances as the waltz, tango, ragtime, and the paso doble. The result is a diverse and meaningful musical pleasure.

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.
