Christian IV of Denmark was the most powerful man in the North before his Swedish opponent Gustav Adolf took over. Since the Danish monarch’s sister Anne was married to the future king of England, exquisite English music artists soon found their way to the music-loving king’s court. So Christian’s court orchestra is not only shining in Venetian splendour, the Golden Age of English music also lets its brightest star glitter in Denmark: John Dowland. His "Tear Pavane" alias "Flow my Tears" captured an epoch’s "Weltschmerz", turned it into sounds and was heard all across Europe. In 1604 Dowland put together seven self-made cover versions of his greatest hit with other dances for an instrumental consort and dedicated it to England’s new Queen Ann. Some of this music was created in her hometown of Copenhagen.

You are strolling through the nightly park between Nordic Garden and Orangery Terraces. First you may meet a vocal enchantress, then there is a Sami evocator and an enchanting choir and secret musicians let you listen to their invisible music: even musicologist Johann Mattheson referred to a reliable source when he reported "underground cliff concerts", that confuse the minds of decent Norwegians during certain nights. Allow yourself to be enchanted by an unforgettable midsummer night’s dream in Sanssouci.
Only pathways starting at the official entrances are illuminated. Please follow the designated routes. Entrance Car Park Visitors’ Centre / Entrance Mulberry Avenue New Chambers | Doors Open 21.30 h

Potsdam’s Telegraph Mountain has a long tradition of world-class scientific research. Built in 1899, the Great Refractor was the main instrument of the first observatory for astrophysics. The venue for today’s concert is an impressive memorial from the early years of this science that looks for the physics "behind" the radiation of the stars. While a renowned astrophysicist takes you on an exciting excursion into the history of science, young explorers aged 8 and above can watch the experiments in the foyer and join in. Afterwards a walk through the science park takes you past its historical buildings and to the day’s musical highlight: the ROMEO & JULIA KÖREN is definitely not a choir like any other and its imaginative theatrical performances have already delighted many Nobel prize winners at their festive banquet in Stockholm.
