Summer Sound with Film Magic: Classics at Weberplatz in the Thalia Cinema

On July 2, 2026, a special evening opens up in Potsdam-Babelsberg for all those who love live atmosphere and grand soundscapes. In the format Classics at Weberplatz in the Thalia Cinema, the traditional Symphony Orchestra Collegium musicum Potsdam meets the screen of the Thalia Cinema – a concert evening that elegantly merges music, film, and audience atmosphere.

A cultural kickoff with cinematic tension

The evening starts at 7:00 PM and focuses on the interplay of classical music and cinematic experience. The Collegium musicum Potsdam is one of the most traditional musical ensembles in the state capital and has shaped the series Classics at Weberplatz for years with its mix of musical precision, openness, and summery lightness. The series is designed to span several days and includes other formats in 2026 such as chamber music, a foxtrot dance night, and a children's concert – a sign of how broad the musical idea behind the festival is.

An ensemble with history and profile

Behind the evening stands an orchestra with substance: The Symphony Orchestra Collegium musicum Potsdam was founded in 1945 and is now one of the oldest and largest orchestras in the city. Under the artistic direction of Knut Andreas, the ensemble has developed into a central player in Potsdam's musical life. According to the orchestra, the series Classics at Weberplatz attracts 1,500 to 2,000 listeners each year – a strong signal for the impact of this open-air format.

Babelsberg backdrop with special acoustics

The location also bears the signature of the evening. The Weberplatz is located in the historic district of Babelsberg near the Friedrichskirche and is established as a venue for open cultural formats. Convenient for visitors: the square is close to tram and bus stops, but there are no parking spaces available on site. This urban openness creates a special feeling of immersing oneself in a musical summer stage right in the neighborhood.

A program for film lovers and classical music fans

The Thalia Cinema as a venue adds an extra charm to the evening. Classics at Weberplatz in the Thalia Cinema combines the emotionality of the concert hall with the visually impactful language of film. This format appeals to classical music lovers as well as to an audience that enjoys cultural boundaries: orchestrated tension, careful synchronization of sound and image, and the special concentration of a live evening create a concert experience with identity.
