Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella - The Original Film with a Live Orchestra

Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella
The Original Film with a LIVE Orchestra

For many, the film “Three Hazelnuts forCinderella” is as inseparable from Christmas as the twinkling candles on the tree, making it an integral part of the holiday season. After all, it’s the little magical moments that make this enchanting love story so special: the three magic hazelnuts that grant Cinderella’s wishes, the snow-covered landscapes, the festive ball—and, of course, the moment when the prince discovers the dainty shoe on the staircase.

But the fairy tale doesn’t just work its magic on TV: For several years now, this Christmas classic has regularly filled concert halls to capacity, where the stages are transformed into a fairy-tale setting for this romantic love story. While the film plays on the big screen, a large symphony orchestra accompanies the scenes with the familiar melodies, making the audience feel as though they, too, are guests at the court ball.

The soundtrack by Czech composer Karel Svoboda contributed significantly to the film’s success—shortly after its release, Svoboda received international commissions and later composed the unforgettable melodies for animated classics such as “Maya the Bee,” “Wickie,” and “Nils Holgersson.” But it is the music for “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” in particular that retains a special magic to this day and evokes a feeling of pure happiness in listeners—almost as beautiful as the anticipation of the festival.
