Every year again! Five melodic divas. Five sisters. Christmas at home. Oh, merry Christmas, what a family celebration!
We all know it only too well: Christmas means family ties, shining eyes, candlelight... and every year it takes an astonishing amount of effort to somehow achieve a festive idyll despite the stress of presents and many an interpersonal hurdle.
With their usual rousing sounds and a good dose of tongue-in-cheek, the Melodiven present themselves as a quintet of sisters between glamor and sibling strife, nostalgia and parcel envy, Christmas carols and catastrophes...

"Eine schöne Bescherung" is a varied, funny, but also contemplative and glittering program that gets you in the perfect mood for Christmas. Once again, the Melodiven show at a high artistic level how pieces of music from classical to pop, jazz and folk music can be imaginatively combined.
From inappropriate gifts and jingle bell earworms to an overdose of kitschy, sweet melodic chocolates: with classics such as "Ein Kind geborn' zu Bethlehem" or "Josef, lieber Josef mein", the divas succeed in enchanting the audience. English carols warm the hearts, and when presents are unwrapped and paper and ribbons fly over a "Campari Soda", eyes light up! But will there be enough change to fulfill "Whatever Lola wants"? Let us surprise you!

Well-known Christmas carols, jazz songs, tailor-made arrangements, sometimes a cappella, sometimes accompanied by the piano, sometimes as a soloist, sometimes in a quartet: the musical gift palette under the Christmas tree is more colorful than ever!
