Travel back to 1920s Berlin at Babylon â an atmospheric arthouse cinema and window into the cityâs short-lived Weimar-era golden age. Opened in 1929, it shows silent classics like Nosferatu and Chaplin films with live orchestra, complete with its original theatre organ. But much of Babylonâs story is hidden beneath the nostalgia. Opening just months before the Great Depression in a district shaped by Jewish communities, it housed a Nazi-era communist resistance cell, survived World War II bombings, and ran as a state-run cinema under East German rule.Â

Since the new extensively restored version of 2010, BABYLON has played more than 160 times to (almost always) sold-out houses.

https://babylonberlin.eu/orchester/4909-nosferatu-live-mit-babylon-orchester-berlin
Nosferatu comes as a plague from the East, by ship from the Black Sea. At midnight he rises from the coffin and seeks the precious fresh blood of naive Germans. Death and rot can be ended only by the voluntary sacrifice of a beautiful woman, who makes Nosferatu forget the rising sun. Undead fear the light of enlightenment. A symphony of horror, accompanied by the Babylon Orchester Berlin.

[Nosferatu. A Symphony Of Horror]
D 1922, R: F. W. Murnau mit Gustav von Wangenheim, Max Schreck, Alexander Granach, Greta Schröder, 93 min.
Nosferatu kommt als Seuche aus dem Osten, mit dem Schiff vom Schwarzen Meer. Um Mitternacht steigt er aus dem Sarg und sucht das kostbare, frische Blut naiver Deutscher. Tod und FĂ€ulnis können nur durch das freiwillige Opfer einer schönen Frau beendet werden, welche Nosferatu die aufsteigende Sonne vergessen lĂ€sst. Untote fĂŒrchten das Licht der AufklĂ€rung. Eine Sinfonie des Grauens, begleitet vom Babylon Orchester Berlin.
