"Silent Night - a sheet of music from heaven"

The true story of a worldwide success

“Silent Night, Holy Night” – a melody that spans the globe. From a small church in Salzburg, in 1818 emerged one of the most touching Christmas carols of all time, now translated into over 300 languages and dialects.

But how did this world wonder really come about? What inspired assistant pastor Joseph Mohr and teacher Franz Xaver Gruber to create a song for just two voices and guitar for that Holy Night in 1818?

The compelling musical by Hans Müller (text) and Georg Stampfer (music) immerses the audience in the moving backstory of this song. It tells of friendship, fate, and the power of silence in a loud world. In a beautifully staged, heartwarming production, the origins of the song come to life and show how it became a timeless treasure for humanity.

A production that not only warms hearts but immerses the audience in the magic of that one night that would forever change all subsequent Christmases. A musical experience that breathes the true spirit of Christmas.

The Silent Night Ensemble, together with the Männergesangsverein Alpenland Mariazell, stages this Christmas song in a captivating light production in the Basilica of Mariazell.
