The Gold Rush, Chaplin's silent film from 1925, tells of the feverish search for gold in Alaska at the end of the 19th century, as well as of unrequited love, friendship, brutality - and ultimately of happiness in life. After Modern Times and City Lights, Cornelius Meister and the Stuttgart State Orchestra continue their Chaplin silent film cycle with The Gold Rush, bringing the Hollywood sound directly back to the Littmann-Bau. Chaplin composed the music himself and also includes classics such as Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee, Wagner's "Oh, my beautiful evening star" and Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty Waltz. A film experience with live music as a third dimension.
