City Lights – Lights of the Big City
Kyiv Symphonie Orchester conducted by Burkhard Götze - Scharoun Theater Wolfsburg
Program Info: Charles Chaplin - City Lights – Lights of the Big City
While people had already become accustomed to sound films in 1931, Chaplin continued to use text panels to put the words into the mouth of his true love, a blind flower girl to whom he pretended to be a rich man. Charlie Chaplin was also responsible for the music for this amusing and enchanting fairy tale. Supported by an arranger and a musical director, the director and actor Chaplin presented his first specially composed film music for “City Lights”.
A timeless parable: We think we have to be rich in order to survive before ourselves and others. But only those who are not blind to the beautiful appearance recognise our true essence - that a beautiful life does not only have to do with material wealth.
