Home Alone - in concert

Description

"Kevin – Home Alone" is one of the quintessential Christmas classics. Who doesn't know this funny, heartwarming comedy?! Experience "Home Alone" with the film music by John Williams in new splendor in December 2026 at Stadtcasino Basel. With "Home Alone" ("Kevin – Home Alone"), director Chris Columbus achieved a surprise hit in 1990. Since then, this funny yet heartwarming comedy about Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) has become a staple of the Christmas season. The thematic film music and songs like Somewhere in My Memory and Stars of Bethlehem by John Williams, with lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, contribute significantly to this. Williams serves up an irresistible holiday magic with celesta, glockenspiel, dancing strings, warm woodwinds, and vocals, which the City Light Symphony Orchestra, together with the Oyenga Choir Basel, will celebrate during this year's Advent days at Stadtcasino Basel. At the center of the story of "Home Alone" is the clever 8-year-old Kevin. He is the youngest member of the turbulent McCallister family, living in a suburb of Chicago. When they all plan to go on a Christmas vacation to Paris, Kevin is accidentally left home alone. However, he doesn't want to let this ruin his Christmas season. He enjoys the "freedom" and gets into the Christmas spirit. But he increasingly misses his family and must also find out that the burglar duo Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern) – also known as the Wet Bandits – have their sights set on his family's belongings. He is determined to defend them. Let Kevin, the festive and action-packed film music by John Williams, and the over 100 musicians of the City Light Symphony Orchestra and the Oyenga Gospel Choir sweeten this year's Advent season for you. A film-concert fun for the whole family! Film in English, with German subtitles.
