25 years of Starnacht – what started in Carinthia is now a long-running hit in entertainment show heaven; live at their original location at Lake Wörthersee, in the Wachau and at Lake Neusiedl and on television via ORF and the German ARD. This format has format and now fills more than a weekend.
The organizers actually had completely different, literally more powerful plans for July 19, 2000 at the Wörthersee: a world boxing championship was to take place in the Werzer Seearena in Pörtschach. But then came the supposed catastrophe: the then TV partner RTL had changed its mind and withdrew at short notice.
Thus, ‘necessity’ was once made into a virtue – and a music show spontaneously emerged. And the starry night at the Wörthersee began its successful run.
No wonder. At the first show in Pörtschach, those responsible managed to get famous pop stars on stage. In addition to local hero Udo Jürgens, Jürgen Drews, opera queen Sarah Brightman and Vicky Leandros provided a unique musical opening act. And not just for the guests in the audience, but also for the countless hit fans in front of the television screens.
The viewing figures spoke volumes
The premiere in 2000 was a hit – and in retrospect it was definitely more fun than athletes punching each other in the face. The viewing figures spoke volumes and ensured that Starnacht became a unique brand in German-speaking show business over the years. And music stars – national or international – fight for the chance to present themselves on the Starnacht stage. Especially because it was the springboard to great careers for many of today’s big names.
As was the case for Andreas Gabalier, who celebrated his first appearance on such a major TV music program in Pörtschach in 2011. A year later, in 2012, the Star Night hoisted its sails – and for the first time with the lake stage in or in front of the East Bay. History is now being written on dry land year after year.
The folk rock’n’roller completes the Starnacht line-up
After his concert, Andreas Gabalier will extend his stay in Carinthia and will be present live at the Star Night. Last week, he transformed the Starnacht Arena into a cauldron with 8,000 fans and was so enthusiastic about it that he extended his stay in Carinthia for a few more days in order to be present at the Starnacht at the Wörthersee tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. be there. “The atmosphere in this great arena right on the lake is sensational and I want to experience it again,” said the popular rock’n’roller. The superstar thus completes the line-up for the anniversary mega show organized by organizer ip-media from Pörtschach.
Rainhard Fendrich, Ben Zucker, Christl Stürmer, Thorsteinn Einarsson, Chris Steger, Semino Rossi, Marianne Rosenberg, Michelle, Melissa Naschenweng and, for the last time, the Seer have already bought their ticket for a performance. For those who decide at short notice: tickets are still available at Ö-Ticket and at the box office, which will be open on both concert days. And there is also good news from Klagenfurt Mobil GmbH: The Starnacht ticket is also valid as a free ticket for the KMG buses – simply show the ticket, drive away and enjoy the concert.
